Wow! what a great holster and light combo! - BlackHawk Level 3 SERPA Holster/Light Combo 44H6

Starting with the only negative... this holster comes with the low-ride belt attachment. You need to order either the mid-ride or high-ride attachment from Blackhawk. The low-ride puts the holster low enough that the bottom hits your car seat when you sit down (at least it did for me and I'm 6' tall). I ordered both the mid and the high-ride, tried them both and settled on the high-ride.

Now for the good stuff!

Wow! This holster simply rocks! The light was advertised as a 65 lumen - not shabby but about 1/2 the output of the brightest on the market. It has an UNADVERTISED upgraded LED that is 95 lumens! The light is awesome!

The same week I got the light and holster in service, I was in a foot pursuit of two suspects from a stolen car with a sawed-off shotgun left in the car and unknown weapons with them. As we searched the bushes and located them, it was so nice to have the light ON the gun, hands free, not having to hold my streamlight and the gun at the same time.

I held off going to a tactical light because of the lack of a level-3 holster being available. I work a lot of events with high crowd levels and wanted the security of a level 3 holster.

Now, I have both. I'm a very happy cop!
