Here are a few new things I got. The SOPMOD stock the EOTECH and the Black Hawk holster.
I really like all three of these and would recommend them to anyone.

If thats a Serpa (looks like it to me) ditch it ASAP. Lots of retention issues with extended hard use. I've seen pics of those holsters literally cut apart trying to get the sidearm out after the retention system went tits up.
If you want a quality kydex holster look at something along the lines of a Safariland (I'm kinda partial to the 6004 myself) or the G-Code SOC.
EOTech = :bigthumb: Though if I ever get enough money I'll opt for a Trijicon just because I've heard less bad about them then the EoTech (not saying I've heard all that much bad about EOTech).
Nice stock. I'm eyefuckin one of these pretty hard: http://www.vltor.com/ like the modular aspect beter then the SOPMOD stock.
edit:
BHI CQC Sherpa holster (for glock 19).
Holster jammed solid like a bastard, the retention button was stuck half open (shit got in the mechanism when I fell onto a gravel road).
In the end I needed one hand on belt, one hand on holster to yank the button loose and the gun out of the holster. thats one of the "lesser" failures I've read about.
and more:
On the subject of the SERPA, we had some clown from a supposedly balls-out tough guy MP gang try to draw his nine to deter some traffic. Quick draw out of the SERPA resulted in a 9mm ball round fired nearly point-blank into his right thigh, from about midline pocket all the way to lodging by his kneecap. Moral of the story: Watch your safeties and buy a Safariland.

HMMM
I had never heard any of that. But I can see how those things could happen. I have a 6004. I like it allot. I got the Serpa as a blue jean/driving vest holster.
I was going to replace my Blade Tech with the Serpa.
Even though the Serpa is made for specific models and have the button release. It has retention adjustment screws. Maybe mine is a newer model or maybe some of those guys didn't tweak theirs.

Oh damn it is the retention screw adjustment. I moved mine maybe a quarter of a turn and BAM. I can't get my pistol out. There is a serious flaw with that adjustment. You have to have the screw backed all the way out for it to work. But if you remove the screw it won't hold the pistol. So long story short it shouldn't have the adjustment.

I was about to say... Ive used SERPA holsters for awhile now... One for my former daily carry Glock and another for my issue M9 and personal M92 and never have run across this problem... then again i have never really messed with the retention adjustment either.
