    Had to find it. You're right it was a dumb move but at least he put it out there for everyone to see that it was a dumb move.

    When I called and asked about this holster during boxing day sale, whoever answered the phone said they had a few issues with this (Customer returns for whatever reason) and recommended I get the serpa instead.

    Wow really? They do have several right and left hand 5.11 Thumb Drives for Glock 17, M&P9 and SIG I think.

    I just bought a serpa for my SR9 there today, and they have a much larger selection.

    He was using a serpa holster... Not a thumb lock

    Thumb drive is very nice. I have one for my M&P and really like it. It does a very good job of promoting a firm master grip on the draw while offering complete retention. I also have a serpa for my 1911. I prefer the Thumbdrive mechanism, not because I am worried about shooting myself because I am a careless retard, but because I find the thumbdrive faster. Plus the way it works you have to push the pistol down into the holster after pushing the thumb button in to get it to release sot he web of your hand is firmly seated. Great draw stroke. If they made one for the 1911's I would have two.

    Ignore the stupid comments about shooting yourself with one. Just because one retard was drawing without a safety on and shot himself doesn't mean the holster has a problem. I think it is pretty obvious that the guy missed a fundamental safety rule by not engaging the safety. Regardless of what holster you are using, if you have a safety, use it.
