I bought the Blackhawk Tactical SERPA Hoster (drop leg) for my S&W M&P .45 auto (full sized) to carry while deer hunting in what has become predator habitat. It's a great holster: I can adjust it to ride fairly high so I can walk long distances easier, and the high front shroud/shield on the holster protects my front sight. Like all of the Blackhawk SERPA's it can fit the quick disconnect adapter so I can put my 1911 SERPA holster on the same platform with ease. It holds my S&W M&P .45 auto really securely. The straps (both the drop straps and the thigh straps) have lots of adjustment and double buckle/keepers to hold the straps in place and not loosen. The thigh straps thread through the platform in such a way as to pad the platform from your leg a little. The SERPA retention system holds my pistol (with a 14 round extended cap mag) very securely. It's much tougher and more secure than a soft nylon drop leg holster.
