Exclamation Blackhawk Serpa Holster

I recently attended SouthNarc's IEK/ECQC course in Casa Grande, Az. I'm still working on my review and hope to have it up this weekend however something happened during the class that I feel I must share with you all immediately.

I was working with a guy who was wearing the new Blackhawk Serpa retention holster (located here ); He had a Sims Glock 17 holstered and while doing some ground fighting. This holster had a catastrophic failure. This individual was unable to draw his pistol. Sand had found its way into the locking mechanism and the retention button was frozen in the locked position.

It is my advice that if you ever have to go into harms way that you leave this holster at home (or better yet just save your money).

I have a video of the incident and after I get it sterilized I will post it.
