I'm thinking of getting this holster for my glock22 or my XD45. Just wanting to know if any one has used it, or has any knowledge about it.

Here is one of many threads on Blackhawk Serpa's.https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...658-review_blackhawk_serpa_leg_holster-2.html I know it is not the exact same holster, but it is the same system. Be sure to watch both of full-auto's reviews.

I have one for my XD9 and I love it. Its a great OC holster and once I got it at a good cant it was comfortable while dirving as well.

I think the non-SERPA version of the holster is a great holster at that price point.

If retention is important to you, Safariland's ALS 6377/6378 is a better solution. Model 6378 ALS® Paddle Holster :: HOLSTERS.com The reason I like this is that it places the strong thumb in an ideal position to for the support hand to move into the grip. And, since the release is on the top of the holster, it is easier to reach if the strong hand is incapacitated.

See this video. The holster is a 6320, which includes a guard the 6378 does not - Safariland Video | Model 6320

You will find that there is a love / hate relationship with them for the most part.

Some people love the retention system, some hate it.

There have been reported failures of the retention system causing the gun not to release from the holster. I believe there have been a few reports of people shooting themselves while extracting their pistol from these holsters too. Are these the holster’s fault? Probably not.

I have one for my Glock 26. I like to wear it during the winter when the clothing layers are a little thicker and I’m often wearing gloves. Only thing I don’t like about mine, is the amount of wiggle the Glock 26 has while in the holster.

I picked one up yesterday so I could use it as a range holster for a 5" 1911. So far I like it real well. It is the first plastic holster I have ever owned.

I ended up getting it for my XD and have used it for a little while now. no complaints on my part. Has held up to my expectations and more.
