Re: SERPA HOLSTER QUESTION
IMHO: None. Retention wise, it can work as fast and retain as well as anything else out there (and I feel there are better options) - You have to practice. It seems the root of the issue is the transition from fine to gross motor skills, and under pressure, the trigger finger doesn't stay on the frame, and instead ends up in the triggerguard. Other high-quality holster makers don't use the index finger for retention.
I find the SERPA sticks out quite a bit from the body, compared with other holsters with retention. I haven't tried the ThumbDrive, but I don't personally feel that an ALS holster is any different in size from a SERPA if it's on the right bracket.
Not everything is about concealment. Open carry, for example?
Further, some folks prefer to carry some or all the time with retention.

Re: SERPA HOLSTER QUESTION
I own a few holsters, I train with them, and learn their pros and cons with my shooting and draw techniques.
I OC either of my fullsize 2x4 Glocks. My G20, or my G21. I use a SERPA. My finger has never "slipped" into the trigger as a result of the release mechanism on the SERPA. In fact it stays right on the frame where it should be, every time.
The SERPA is a bit away from the body, but I hardly notice it because im a large person. It works great for me, and I have never felt unsafe with it.
Its not for everyone, but i work great with a Glock+Serpa combo, which quite a few people might find scary. People are ridiculous.Mostly browsing these days, and expanding the collection.
