Hi, I had a question I hope you could help me with. Do you notice any wear on the trigger guard? I could see this wearing a nice mark on your side arm. Thanks

@lvl8hacker It does leave a mark on the trigger guard for sure, however it seems to be less pronounced on the Sig than the 1911. The finish has a fair bit to do with the resistance to showing wear. That being said, all holsters will wear on your gun. The SERPA does wear on your gun less than others, but hey, why carry it if you don't want some wear and tear on it!

Use a POP filter(Foam Rubber cover) to kill that wind in your mic. I use them outside when the Band does outdoor gigs! Helps clean up your audio alot......Im buying the American Classic II M1911,will it work on this holster.Thanks

@HerbWalker Any 1911 will work just fine with this holster. I'm very familiar with pop filters, I am a audio recording engineer in my spare time. Try as I might, I can't affix a pop filter/wind screen to my digital camera. In the panhandle of Texas, wind noise is something we just have to live with. When I upgrade my camera again I'm going to get one that has a mic line in so I can use directional mics with wind screens. That'll prolly be next year though.

Nice review. Nice side by side.

@vassago814 thanks for the comment.

@CV114 The mechanics of an accidental discharge using this holster could only be caused by debris in the holster. If debris was present in the holster then the discharge would have occurred with just about any holster. The Serpa Locking mechanism in no way touches the trigger of the firearm or even comes near it. Sounds to me like there is more to the story.

Thanks for your input and for watching.

Its is impossible to pull the trigger while the gun is still in the holster....... The discharge concerns me none the less ... but I think that something else is at cause..

@TacticalGearJunkie I'm glad to hear that, I was sort of on edge when I heard about the recall, thankfully they don't make one for my sidearm (Sig Saure P250) so went with the Sig retention holster instead.

@agreen9813 No Thanks, mine works like a dream...

[agreen9813]

@TacticalGearJunkie Actually Blackhawk had a recall on some of the Serpas for the Glocks for just that reason. You can look it up if you would like.

I lost a magazine to my GLOCK 23 while carrying it in one of that same Blackhawk mag puches. Although to be fair it was during a rough hike in the snow in the hills of KY that even involved having to crawl through thick brush.

@CV114 I don't believe this story for a second.

[MonroviaE101]

my Serpa for my 1911 is the same model is a POS.

[ArmaLiteFanatic]

do double stack 1911s fit in these, the trigger guard is a different shape and width??

[burtonairsoft2197]

with the 1911 serpa if the 1911 has a rail on the bottom will it still fit?

How do you put this on your leg?
