BLACKHAWK SERPA Concealment Holster – Matte Finish, Size 08, Right Hand (SigPro 2022), (SigPro 2022)

I did a lot of research on holsters before I bought one for my Sig Sauer P2022. I read several that disparaged the Serpa as very dangerous to the user, even saw the video of that instructor shooting himself in the leg. Because of these negative reviews I originally bought the Safariland holster instead with the thumb break retention feature. You can read my review on that holster through the Amazon link. I had to return it because because they claimed that it fit the P2022 when in reality it wasn’t made for it.I had a tactical pistol class to attend so I took a chance & bought the Serpa. The fit was perfect. No jiggling or hassling to get the pistol into the holster and it makes an audble “click” sound when it locks the pistol in place. The draw to remove the pistol is easy to do and with about 50-60 practice draws, you become proficient on using your index finger to hit the release button & making sure you don’t have your trigger finger in the trigger box. What you’ll find after practicing is that in order to seamlessly draw the pistiol, you have to have your grip up high in the optimal & correct grip and you’re ready to shoot quickly. With two days of practice I have narrowed down my failure to disengage the pistol from the holster to 1 out of 11-12 times. With more pratice I’ll improve that ratio.Now addressing the safety issue: I can see this holster being a problem if you have a single action pistol, like let’s say a 1911, or a pistol with a tricked out trigger job & are locked and loaded. If you’re in a rush, I can see how people can get their finger on the trigger and have a negligent discharge. If you have a hair trigger on a single action pistol, DO NOT use this holster. That is how the gentleman in the well known video shot himself. But for a DAO-SAO pistol like the Sig P2022 that has a long first trigger pull you would have to really be trying to shoot yourself in the foot to have that happen. I have never even come close to doing that. I’m extremely paranoid about negligent discharges, but feel comfortable with using MY weapon (DAO-SAO) with this holster.I would recommend this holster as long as you know the limitations & try and see how it works for you & see how it works with your weapon…while it’s EMPTY! The Marine Corps chose this holster but they also have mostly the Berreta 92s that is DAO-SAO like the Sig; 175,000 Jarheads can’t be wrong.Semper Fi
