Good update for this thread ... The SERPA Compendium (lots of links ... WARNING: graphic images)
I think I mentioned it before, but my primary problem with the SERPA holsters is the wimpy belt attachment. The first one I received was for a Glock 19. It was issued to a buddy who worked for a well-known private security contractor in Iraq. He was getting out of his SUV and the holster got caught on something on the way out. He recovered his G19 still in the holster dangling from his lanyard. I got my second one from the prize table at a USPSA match and I had to get a new belt loop made for it by a holster maker.
Yeah, I noticed that the belt loops that come with the holster appear to be completely garbage. They're thin and flimsy.
I ordered a Safariland belt loop. Going to see if I can slightly modify it to bolt up to the Serpa.
Regarding safety, all of my guns that I carry in a Serpa have safeties that are on until the gun is out of the holster. So no issues with the location of the release button.

Quick copy and paste taken from one of the articles:
[FONT=&]“So I have a simple question for you: Why on earth would you bet your life on a poorly-made, poorly designed holster that has been banned by many law enforcement agencies, top tier instructors, shooting schools and ranges, when there are so many better options on the market?”
i can answer that one easily. They are cheap! Cheap JUNK, but CHEAP is the operative word.[/FONT]
I suggest also ordering a Safariland holster. There are more reasons not to carry a SERPA than the leg shooty thing.
I dont put total weight in opinions made by those who are bribed or paid to render themQuick copy and paste taken from one of the articles:

You didn't read.....did you?
Safariland does not make one for the CZ 75. If they did, I'd have one. But they do not.....so I'm stuck with a Serpa.
I think it's more the Indian than the arrow ,I've had my glock 17 in a serpa holster for several years now. I wear it everyday and shoot steel challenge and uspsa with it, not once has there been any negative issues . I have also witnessed some of the other holsters mentioned here getting people dq'd because they fired a round to close on the draw. So is it really the equipment's fault? I think not! Let's quit blaming the equipment for operator error. I know in this day and age personal responsibility is lost, but really think about it ,can the equipment really be to blame...

I got a safariland als holster for my cz 75 SP01. I can’t remember what the model number is but it’s one that you have to put the shim in it. It fits the cz good after that. If I can find the packaging I’ll post the model. It was actually the only holster at the LGS I went to that fit the cz. And mines the tactical version with the threaded barrel, the barrel does stick out of the bottom of the holster.
Me neither, but Sweeney was paid to prove they were safe, and damned near shot himself on video!I dont put total weight in opinions made by those who are bribed or paid to render them
