I just saw OC, cavalry draw, using a Serpa. Maybe an FN pistol, not sure.

HTF do you activate the lever on a Serpa carried cavalry?

Cross draw?

No, cavalry draw.

If you're unfamiliar with it, it's a traditional behind the hip carry, but butt forward, sometimes with a cant or sometimes with a straight drop.

I've always figured that's somebody who...irritated...a senior NCO and isn't carrying it that way of his own accord. If I were a betting man I'd say the prequel includes a lecture over a forgotten weapon, probably with significant knife handing by the speaker.

And he's on the KP side of the mess hall, more than one "punishment" goin on here...

If a saber is your primary, what’s the purpose? Real question

It was used by cavalry troops in and around the Civil War era as a means of using the flap holsters of the day without interfering with the saber on the belt.
