So the USMC has adopted the Serpa Holster.
I have no problem with the idea from a safety standpoint like some of the detractors. What I have an issue with is the actual utility of the thing.
Its not a safety issue. No its a protection issue, a running, crawling, moving through the bush, banging against walls jumping through windows kinda issue.
The Serpa doesn't protect your firearm, it won't keep a tender thing like the Beretta protected and when you're down to a side arm then you're in a bad place.
Marine Corps procurement gone wrong exhibit one. Buying the Serpa Holster.
Yep, the ole' M12 ain't stylish, cutting edge etc...but what it is is a tool thats designed to protect another tool. It passes the eyeball test for Shock Troops...not barbie dolls playing dress up.
