    Default The Serpa Compendium

    There are probably quite a few other people out there who have heard rumors about problems but don’t truly appreciate the severity of the holster’s design flaws. This article is designed to provide an education on the problematic issues with the Blackhawk Serpa.

    Hmmm...I never had any problems with the Serpa when I was in Iraq, including many others. The only ND I know of while I was there was a LtCol who shot himself in the leg AFTER clearing his sidearm. Seems the Army taught their folks to pull the trigger after clearing and closing the slide. This guy didn't pull his magazine out nor did he have the sidearm aimed in the clearing barrel. He ended up losing his leg.

    I also crawled quite a bit on the ground during training before heading over. Never had a problem with the release no working. I did have a problem racking back the slide afterwards, though. Had to clean the M9 every time.
