Don't take this as an insult to your personal ability but I highly suggest against SERPA holsters. They have the highest rate of injury with a firearm due to muscle memory issues and frankly an ALS tab is just a smarter design. I used to be a fan but if you look at the numbers and include how you are going to respond under stress, it is one more risk that doesn't need to be taken.

I appreciate your concern i just looked into the ALS system, I've trained and used the Serpa system for a decade i think and at this point i would hope the muscle memory is there. I've found the system easy to use and reliable despite the high rate of injury. However you are completely right and its a risk i knowingly took when i started using the Serpa.
I've never used an ALS holster before and from the description it sounds like it wouldn't feel natural to me at this point by just reading a description.
Now I've watched the safariland ALS training video and its much more clear than just the written description. I do not like the safariland hood system at all and wouldn't trust it to not jam closed while operating in sand or after taking things to the ground, however i understand now why the active rention of the ALS system is more natural than the Serpa and how it can avoid causing muscle memory issues for accidental discharge.
I guess an old dog will have to learn some new tricks.

Less than ten practice pulls after getting my serpa I went for a walk to feel the holster. I was startled by large bird that noisily exited the bush immediately to my right. I instinctually pulled my weapon out and had it on the sound before I fully knew what it was (did not sound like a bird). I was under some amount of stress and a fair amount of adrenaline. This was after owning it for 15 mins and pulling it out 10 times. Perfect draw. I’ve been a fan ever since.
I thought the system was just about as safe and intuitive as you can get. Can you enlighten me on how it’s causing injuries?

The weapon release trains putting pressure along the holster in a position that has led to many issues of your finger landing on the trigger.
Many of the tracked FBI stats of negligent discharches resulting in injury from a draw were traced back to SERPA holsters.
Im not saying they will hurt yourself guarenteed, but why take the risk. Especially when there are better designs.

Which do you prefer specifically?
[–] WilliamCutting ago
Sorry I didn't see your reply. It depends what kind of use you have for the pistol.
Concealed, open, duty, fullsize, compact, ultra compact, war rig, competition?
