I could draw it quite quickly, and the modular design allowed it to be mission adaptable. Initially, I loved the holster and wore it on both a thigh rig and on my plate carrier, depending on what I was doing. I, like most Marines, carried that M9 in a Blackhawk Serpa. My Ride With the SerpaĪs a pistol-qualified machine gunner, I toted a Beretta M9 alongside my M240. If you currently serve and are issued a Serpa holster, I encourage you to find an alternative. However, it could take a substantial amount of time before the new pistol and holster become issued force-wide. The good news is, the recent adoption of the M17 and M18 service pistols, along with their Safariland holsters, will eventually phase the Serpa out. In fact, it’s downright dangerous.Įven now, in 2021, I keep seeing Serpas on the belts of Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen. While the Serpa seemed perfect, it soon proved to be a pretty poor choice. Serpa series holsters had a multitude of attachments that allowed the gun to ride with belt loops, on a thigh rig, on a MOLLE panel, and beyond. The Serpa series promised the same level of retention with less bulk and a faster draw.
While it carried a firearm, the M12 made accessing the gun painfully slow.
