Army adopts G code Serpas as new holster

Not a fan, but better than the BS nylon holster still being issued I guess.
Trigger finger manipulation of the restraint device at times leads some novice shooters to insert said finger into the trigger guard upon weapon draw - not a good practice,

Quote:
The U.S. Army recently awarded contracts worth more than $73 million to equip soldiers with the G-Code XST and Blackhawk SERPA holsters for its Improved Modular Tactial Holster program.
On Dec. 18, the Army awarded a $49 million contract to Military Hardware, LLC for G-Code holsters and $24.3 million contract to ADS Inc. for Serpa holsters.
The SERPA line has seen mixed reviews over the years. The Marine Corps held a similar effort two years ago and adopted the Blackhawk SERPA.
But the SERPA’s retention mechanism is prone to become clogged with dirt, increasing the chances for a malfunction, sources say.
