Unsafe at any speed of Serpa Holster
I didn't know Corvair made a holster?
You are outing yourself as, shall we say, not especially young.
For the standard blisterpack model, the paddle/belt attachments are flimsy and will break undergoing daily stresses (getting torqued against chairs/desks/snagged by seatbelts) and the retention mechanism is of dubious reliability when exposed to dirt, dust, and extended range use, resulting in people either getting guns locked in the holster or left unable to reholster them.
I've heard the military Serpas are better for attachment but have no experience with them. I've seen enough durability issues with the things that I will never use one while we live in a world with Safariland, G-Code, and other reliable manufacturers.
I was actually injured in a corvair when I was a kid! I feel safer with a Serpa, than I ever did in that car.I didn't know Corvair made a holster?

Did the back end slide out on a turn? Their butts are kinda weighty.

No, my sister had to hit the brakes hard to avoid a car turning in front of us, and I flew against the back of the front seat, which gave way and sent me into the dashboard. Flying from the back seat wasn't so bad, but the sudden stop SUCKED!!! Had a bunch of broken bones in my face, and still have the scars nearly 50 years later. I still remember the Floyd County sheriffs deputy with the huge smokey bear hat pulling me out of the car and putting me in the back seat of his car. It was the only time in my life I ever got to ride in a police car with lights and siren going.Did the back end slide out on a turn? Their butts are kinda weighty.
There is no reason to purchase a holster with a design deficiency you are forced to train around in order to avoid shooting yourself...
Keeping your index finger straight? Seems like something that's a good idea no matter what holster you use.
The Serpa's design induces you to jam your finger into the trigger guard when you get into a hurry. You have to deliberately train to avoid this design defect.
Numerous other holsters do not have this defect. The faster and harder you try to draw a Safariland holster, for example, the harder it gets to accidentally jam your finger into the trigger guard.
With this fact established, why on earth would you ever buy a Serpa over another option? I'm sorry if that hurts the feelings of people who bought a Serpa and feel loyalty to their purchase, but it's simply a deficient product that offers no advantage over the competitors...and that's not even getting into the subpar materials or issues with breakage and lockup from debris intrusion. The Serpa is garbage. Nobody should ever buy one, and the people who have bought one should throw it in the garbage and chalk it up to lessons learned.
