Are replica Blackhawk Serpa holsters worth getting? Or would I be better off with an actual Blackhawk?

Do you mean 911 Supply? They sell a lot of BladeTech, BlackHawk, 5.11 Tactical holsters, but they will all be black...

Same with The Shooting Edge. All black, no tan.

I was starting to wonder the same thing.
As I'm planning a tan based load out, I would prefer a tan holster.
Do you folks have any other ideas where I might be able to pick one up?

Where in AB are you? Are you dead set on a drop leg or is a belt mounted holster okay? What kind of a rush are you in? Do you have a style prefence on the type of holster?

I believe 911 Suppy *can* order the Bladetech stuff in Tan, but it usually takes several weeks to come in. Never ordered one myself though, just what the store guy was saying.

I'm in Calgary. A drop leg would be better I believe, simply because I have such long arms a drawing motion from my hips is... uncomfortable. I'm in no rush. I like the idea of the SERPA style holsters... although as I am a new player I'm sure I'll have lots to learn about some of the advantages and disadvantages of the various holster types.

I ran an Eagle Industries soft drop leg holster back in 06-07 before BladeTech became common. I liked it, but it flopped around a fair bit when running. The new BladeTech/Safariland ones are far superior. However in my experience I find they sit way to low. A Dropleg holster is supposed to only sit a few inches below your belt line to clear plate carriers and chest rigs. It should only need one leg strap as the strap should sit nice and high up near your groin. This offers the most stability IMO.

Since your in Calgary, if you end up deciding you would rather have a belt mounted holster shoot me a PM. I can help you out by making you one.
