Mine too. I did, however, thoroughly enjoy forwarding the email to the personnel that had repeatedly argued with me on the range over their holster choice. Like you, I noticed they tend to only draw on qual days. Go figure.Originally Posted by Apricotshot

Good news, but someone better tell the other branches of the military. The Serpa is the most common holster I've seen in AFG, and it's sold in the BX in quite a few places.

I have used one for over three years and love mine and more importantly haven't had one issue.
Guess I better study up on this.

My agency now issues the Serpa holster to new hires at the academy. I prefer and carry a Safariland ALS/SLS holster. I have been warning people about the unsafe nature of this holster and I hope this FLETC advisement helps provide impetus for change to a holster that is more safe, reliable, and secure.

Here's me being shocked that the SERPA is getting attention for being a ****ed up design....................................................

My agency issues Serpa Holsters. We are currently in the T&E process for getting a new departmental Pistol and I think that this notice coming out will also really help me in getting rid of the Serpas as well...I hope. It's just hard because the folks whose lives don't depend on them love the price point.

My friend purchased one for 3-gun. I told him of the possible issues. He returned it the same day and bought a Blade-Tech.
