Having been in Special Forces/Spec Ops &/or LE & SWAT, in one facet or another all my adult life I have seen and used just about every drop leg & non-drop leg pistol platform out there - all the way back into the 1960's when we modified the M1912 mounted holster for the M1911A1 .45ACP. This Tactical Holster Platform from BlackHawk out-performs them all and is easily reconfigurable depending on mission requirements. Outstanding.

Wonderful product, easy to set up. I have rather large thighs but with the straps fully extended it still fits well.

Pros:  Great fit, very comfortable, fully adjustable, gets you great value by allowing any SERPA holster to be screwed on, room for extra mags on rails or a flashlight.
Cons:  a little pricey compared to cheaper nylon thigh rigs but none can compare to the design and flexibility of this platform.
Would recommend:  yes

I love my new Tactical Holster Platform. I bought it in combination with a SERPA CQC holster for my Springfield XDm and plan to use it primarily for hunting. I chose this for the comfort of having the pistol down on my thigh as well as the ease and speed of my draw when drawing from the thigh instead of the hip. The platform is flexible and easily conforms to your leg, the leg straps have rubber stitched into them so they never slide around, the belt clips come loose so you can take it off fast to store in your car, then clip it right back on when you get out to the hunting grounds. The dual accessory rails can easily be mounted to the platform and give you easy reach to 2 mags or 1 mag and a flashlight or whatever floats your boat. OpticsPlanet also saved me $13.00 on this product compared to a local sporting goods chain (they're always overpriced anyway), and I could not be happier with the customer service and speed with which OpticsPlanet got my order shipped out to me. Even though ...

as I expected, its a quality product from blackhawk. the platform itself wraps around the leg comfortably. its very snug and doesn't slip like some drop leg units I've had in the past. Accept both sportster and level 1 serpa holsters I have.
