By using Blackhawk's CQC Carbon Fiber SERPA Holster, you can forget old-fashioned thumb breaks that slow your draw and complicate re-holstering.

Featuring the same speed cut and concealment enhancing design of as their Standard Model Carbon Fiber Holster, Blackhawk's CQC SERPA Holster features the patented SERPA active retention system lock, which engages the trigger guard as you holster the pistol and won't let go until you release it. The release is made using your normal drawing motion, with the trigger finger beside the holster body. As your trigger finger naturally comes to rest on the SERPA active retention system lock's release mechanism, simply push the mechanism as you draw the weapon and it releases the gun for a smooth, fast, natural draw. There's no awkward use of a middle finger release or thumb break to interfere with a full combat grip; the SERPA active retention system lock lets you draw the weapon quickly while establishing a full grip from start to finish. Unlike thumb breaks, which can sometimes be difficult to fasten one-handed, the SERPA active retention system lock allows you to re-holster quickly and securely every time, using only one hand.
