Holster recommendations for Glock 19 Gen.4

The serpas are pos's, that get jammed up when dirt gets in the release mechanism. And the release mechanism is in a terrible spot. The only redeeming quality is it's cheap. A lot of training academies have banned the serpa.

I almost always end up with multiple holsters (usually getting on some 6 month wait list is part of it), but I also almost always end up buying a Garrett Industries Silent Thunder for every new pistol I come to own.

Blackhawk serpa?

cheap pos

pony up and get a Safariland

Safariland makes great holsters, it's really the only one I have experience with but I use one every day without problems.

I have a T&T Gunleather IWB and a Crossbreed OWB for my G19. Both are good

You can add Jeff Gonzales, Gabe Suarez, Tom Givens (I haven't heard Tom outright ban them in his classes, but he certainly recommends against using them), Dallas PD; etc., etc. to the previously posted list.

Google "Tex Grebner" video ("I just f-ing shot myself") for a chuckle. I'd post a link but it has some NSFW language that might violate the board's CoC.

There are just too many higher quality holsters (even Uncle Mike and Blade Tech) available -- why would anyone these days use a Serpa (despite claims that none of the gun schools ban them. I presume that most, if not all, of the folks who claim this have never been to a gun school.)

Go order a Comp-Tac and try it. if you don't like it, you have 30 days to return it for a full refund. As Donald trump famously said, "What have you got to lose ?"
