I don't see one listed anywhere, maybe I'm blind. I'd like to get one, but not sure if they make such an animal.

Anyone know where I could score one up here, or should I just order from the US.

Theres a recall on some models of the Serpa. As I understand it the retention device can cause a negligent discharge.

Go Bladetech, their stuff is great, no gimmicks.
 
The recall was for the High side version, most being sold in the stores here are the low version and not effected by the recall. I like my Serpa with my M&P and Dave Surplus (sponser here) carries them
 
a fair number of tactical trainers will not allow Serpa holsters on their courses.
 
because of people shooting themselves in the leg while holstering, and the idea that the holster sets you up for failure by having you use your trigger finger to manipulate the locking device and as you draw your finger may continue the manipulation motion activating the trigger of the gun (mostly a training issue at that point)
 
One of the things that was part of the problem was finger positioning on the draw. As slavex pointed out that you need to press in to release the gun and that your finger might hit the trigger.

That pic shows where you finger is after the draw even if you had a tight grip it is not going to pull the trigger.

I do not see an issue with the SERPA's.

X2 I have used SERPAS exclusively for the past year shooting IDPA and have NEVER had a problem with either the 1911 or the M&P .45 version (even though the M&P one was a model being recalled). I believe the AD with the Highwall version was completely the fault of the operator (how many here holster with their finger in the triggerguard ?).
Blackhawk makes a great product IMHO YMMV
