I suppose after 40 years of Law-Enforcment experience, I am qualified to write a few opinions about this marvelous holster.....Several years ago I had the unfortunate occasion of having my service revolver grabbed out of my holster during a physical altercation with a suspect....Actually was shot at with my own pistol...thankfully the guy was a bad shot and I was able to wrestle the weapon away from him.....I since tried several different holsters....all with different safetly/locking mechanisms which increase the retention-factor necessary to keep the weapon safely secured until needed - All of them work to some degree...some more complicated than others.....all need a "learning-period" to become comfortable with the design and safe utilization......I suppose what makes the BlackHawk so nice is the simplicity of it's design (very short "learning-period).....The holster only requires a single button-push to release the weapon, yet the weapon stays firmly secure until that single button is depressed............Perhaps the only reason that I am not giving this item 5 stars is that it still takes several weeks of use for a Dumb-Cop like me to become comfortable and familiar enough with the design to instinctfully find that "right" button and release the weapon, (nothing more embarassing (and dangerous) than reaching for your gun and being unable to get it out of your holster...)

At any rate, I happily recommend this holster....BlackHawk is to be commended for it's constant innovation in designing new and safer products for Law Enforcement......

I like the Blackhawk Serpa holsters, but this one is advertised as being for a Taurus Judge with a 3" barrel. What the seller (and Blackhawk) fail to mention is that this is for the Judge with a 2 1/2" chamber. The Serpa lock system will not engage the trigger guard if you have the Judge model with the 3" chamber. This is a really good holster, but be aware of the difference in chamber dimensions and don't buy this if you have the 3" chamber.

I really like the index finger release which works very well, and also promotes good gun handling practice because your finger ends up off of the trigger, and on the frame after draw.

The only down side I see is that it is not as concealed as I had hoped. Blackhawk did a good job designing it to slim it down as much as possible, but of course it is not an IWB holster.

This will be my preferred holster once fall/winter rolls around, and I have a coat to help cover up.

Good quality holster for concealed carry with a baggy shirt or jacket.

I saw this at a local gun shop where they had a model out to try and I loved it. Here I found the best price anywhere, including other internet sites. The holster itself is excellent quality - I am a Blackhawk convert! First, the holster fit my PX4 perfectly. I like the placement of the release button - it feels very natural as part of the draw process. It is hugely versatile, as well. It comes with a paddle as well as a belt slot so you can choose what works best for you or switch back and forth if you want. You can also adjust the cant or draw angle on both options. There's even an adjustment for the width of your belt. A screw allows you to adjust the passive retention in addition to the button retention. It's a great holster!

This is one of those products that begs the question: "why didn't anyone think of this before".... operation is flawless and by nature of it's construction you withdraw the weapon with your trigger finger right where it should be (in safe position) ... my only regret is that they don't make one of these type of holster for all my handguns.

This thing is great. Lightweight and secures the pistol firmly when adjusted. The five seven is also light and I can jog when packing.

The holster fits the Judge with 2-1/2" cylinder very well. It is a hard composite plastic and the locking feature works great. It fits snug and hangs real well with the belt or paddle.

I'm very pleased with the Blackhawk SERPA Level 2 holster for my SIG P226. The holster comes with a paddle to hang it from your waistband, but I've been using it exclusively on a duty type belt. The Level 2 retention release button is perfectly placed and intuitive to use. Press with index finger while drawing pistol. Very easy.

When you return the pistol to the holster, you hear a distinct click as the locking mechanism engages the trigger guard. There is a small adjustment screw that allows you to set the tension with which the holster holds your pistol. Another nice feature is the range of adjustment for backwards or forward cant. I opted for the first forward setting which seems to be about 10 degrees or so past vertical.

retention is great, perfectly fits my M&P .40. Holster was a little expensive, but it's not going to fall apart any time soon so this isn't really too much of an issue.

An excellent holster for all purposes. The active retention system does not slow down a proper draw and holds the weapon securely. It is very versatile because there are several quick adjustments you can make to the holster depending on your preferences.
