I spent several hours with a file to make enough clearance to draw the gun. As i purchased, it would have been impossible to use.

This is the best tactical rig on the market, period. I bought 3 of these from Opticsplanet-1911, Glock 22, and Beretta 92. I actually bought the Beretta rig for a Taurus PT99 and it would not lock, so I had to modify slightly, but that was expected. The Serpa locks are intuitive and you lose nothing on the draw. They are quite comfortable to wear, easy to set up and adjust. Just an awesome rig!

It is a great holster for my m9. I am a master at arms 3rd class, USN. I am a patrolman onboard my installation and this is hands down the best holster i've had. it doesn't pull down on my duty belt and has a good retention system. My department issued these to numerous coworkers but they ran out so I decided to buy one,, this is the best deal I found. All around i am very pleased.

This was an excellent investment. I work for the US Navy as a Master-at-arms doing law enforcement/anti-terrorism force protection. I recently went to harbor patrol and required a drop holster. Many of my co-workers recommended this holster and I have had it about two weeks and have no complaints. The gun will even lock in with the slide locked to the rear, making it easy to transport without holding it. I definitely would recommend this along with a drop pouch for your M16 if you use one.

Pros:  Won't mar the finish of your pistol, wears comfortablly and securely for extended time periods, fastest draw possible
Cons:  A bit pricey but its worth it. It would be nice if it came with an extra mag pouch as standard equiment
Would recommend:  yes

Excellent and tough holster! I bought this for my Springfield 1911 GI. I was initially a bit hesitant to make the purchase because I heard rumors that the holster would wear the finish of your pistol down to the bare metal almost immediately. I've been wearing this every day of every weekend for the last two months on hikes and it has not marred the finish of my pistol one bit. The pistol mounts securely every time with a very audible "click" noise. The pistol has never accidently come loose from the holster. This is the fastest draw possible for a leg holster. I purchased this in response to recent cougar attacks in my area--a fast draw is necessary for this kind of self-defense. The nicest thing about the holster is that it will wear comfortably and securely for extended periods of time. I've had other leg holsters that came loose and would clock a guy in the pills if you ran too hard with it. This thing stays in place once its attached to your leg and won't budge until you take it off. ...
