    Default Holster broken

    Yesterday my blackhawk serpa holster paddle broke at the top, I have never had any issues with this holster or design as all the problems I know about this holster from the stories on the web.
    I now am thinking about buying the safariland 6378 holster and was hoping someone here could let me know how they like it and how if feels.
    I like the paddle design as I have to remove before entering my work place and I secure it, the paddle is alot easier than removing belt loop design.

    I would contact BlackHawk and see if they would replace your broken holster. I like the Serpa holster and they usually standup well. Best of luck.

    I use nothing but Fobus paddle holsters. I have several Black Hawks and just do not like how they feel. I have never had a Fobus break. They are tuff as nails. Just my opinion.

    I highly suggest the 5.11 thumb drive holster. I love mine.

    Called Blackhawk and they will send out a new paddle with no issues.
    But am still looking for a possible change if I see one which catches my eye and I like.

    My serpa paddle did the same thing. I prefered the paddle for the same reason as you. Have to disarm before entering work.

    Go with the safariland 6378 like you were thinking, you'll like it more than the SERPA!
