Signs from Law Enforcement
I must spend about an hour a day watching Youtube to learn about various products. Sometimes I don’t even bother going to the manufacturers websites because so much of it is all on the tube. It’s much easier to watch a 10 minute video about a product than to read through pages of product descriptions and features. There are a lot of things about clothing and guns and gear that aren’t spelled out very well and the funniest one that we’ve seen clothing companies talk about were “hook and loop” closures. Basically they couldn’t just tell you that it was velcro and we’ve had people spend several minutes trying to find out what the heck a hook and loop closure was on a shirt.
When it came to figure out what the differences were and why there was so much drama flowing around on about the Blackhawk Serpa holsters being banned form various firearm instructors, we had to do some research. After much research Safariland holsters seemed to be the chosen retention holsters for Police Officers in Pennsylvania and most of the Cops that I know are happy with them. There are always trade offs with any type of holster but I would say that Safariland holsters are probable 25% better and safer to use than the Blackhawk Serpa holsters. Idiots are capable of doing anything but the Safariland holsters don’t rely on your index finger doing anything.
