Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the Blackhawk T-Series holster over older models like the Serpa?

The primary advantage of the Blackhawk T-Series holster is its significantly improved retention. It features an internal release mechanism protected by polymer blocks, making it much harder for an assailant to disarm the wearer, especially during a struggle, compared to the more exposed release on the Serpa.

Which firearms are compatible with the Blackhawk T-Series holster reviewed?

The reviewed Blackhawk T-Series holster is modeled for Glock firearms. Specifically mentioned are the Glock 17 and 19, both chambered in 9mm, and the Glock 22 and 23, chambered in .40 caliber. Other models are also supported.

How does the T-Series holster's design prevent accidental or forced disarms?

The T-Series holster's release is positioned internally and shielded by polymer blocks. This design means a thumb must intentionally press the release to draw the firearm. In a confrontation, an attacker's hand is more likely to contact the protective blocks rather than the release, preventing a quick disarm.

Is the Blackhawk T-Series holster suitable for concealed carry?

Yes, Instructor Mike recommends the Blackhawk T-Series holster for concealed carry. While it may cause some printing, he advises checking local laws. Its enhanced retention makes it a secure option for carrying a firearm discreetly.
