When I was a kid we had 3 cats in the house. The neighbors across the street thought pretty highly of themselves and looked down their noses at most of the village. They installed a dovecote and got 10 doves to live in it. For 10 consecutive days my Mum was horrified to be cleaning up a pile of white feathers from our front doorstep first thing in the morning, hoping the neighbors hadn't seen it. They didn't restock the dovecote.

Certain designs/guns put your finger right inside the trigger guard. Usually I'm indexing straight on to the frame. I have a couple of SERPAs... However I don't use them anymore except for Airsoft. I've converted to Safariland ALS or GLS for almost everything OWB.

i've always found it funny that so many people think turtles are slow......

Yup. I have seen snow, sand, mud, and gravel lock them up. I also saw a guy get his seatbelt caught on his gun getting out of the car. As he stepped out there was a loud click as the retention mechanism rocked out of place and that was it. That jammed the holster up worse than anything else I had seen. The plastic the holster is made from is pretty soft and the screws holding it all together are pretty insignificant. I have seen SERPA holsters ripped right off belts in retention drills.

How far is the coop from your property line. Municipalities often have a minimum setback an animal pen can be. Beyond that get the sticky strips for your fence and a large cat.

I was a Deputy Sheriff for 7 years and have some experience with the Serpa Blackhawk. It was pretty popular when it first came out. Its light, comfy and appealed to the younger generation of officers and deputies who liked the kydex look better than the old-school leather. With the gun in the holster, your natural grip put your index finger on the release lever that you depressed to be able to draw the gun from the holster. You would draw the gun straight up (as apposed to needing to rock it slightly forward first, as with some holsters) and it automatically put the index finger along the frame for a safe draw without unintentionally fingering the trigger. The problem was with the release lever design. If the spring behind that release lever came off or something in there broke, or if debris got in there (there was space or stuff to get down in there) then the gun could not be removed from the holster without cutting the holster off. Once this was known, our office prohibited us from using them on duty. I have heard over the years of other Serpa models having the same problem so I haven't used that brand holster ever since.

I have a bunch of first hand and personal eyewitness experience - we were issued them when they first came out. Serpa holsters blow. Not just for the increased possibility of shooting your self but the inferior materials, and bad design, and how easy it is to lock up the retention mechanism so bad it requires a pair of tin snips to cut the holster off the gun. If you use a Serpa in this day and age of multitudes of affordable quality retention holsters, you are a dope.

Joined. Even if this does not work for the brace, I donated to a good org.
