I wasn't impressed. I'm kind of oldschool and arrived at Glocks late (grew up with 1911 style pistols) so my "oldschooness" shows up with my choice of holsters; almost always high grade leather, leather belt, friction retention (I don't like thumbreaks). I've mastered breaking in leather holsters and the closest thing to non leather I have is an IWB Shepherd holster that has Kydex for great retention (I bought it on Amazon and love it, it's inexpensive and high quality).
There were so many of these plastic holsters that I started asking questions and the instructor of the course recommended Blackhawk Serpa (he used one for his Glock 22) so I finally broke down and bought one.
It arrives with assembly required, so have a flat head and phillips head screwdriver. The belt clip has plastic hooks that connect with the flathead screwdriver and they're adjustable depending on the width of the belt you attach them to. All my gun belts are 2" so it went straight to the bottom. A quarter turn and the hooks are locked in.
The paddle connects via 3 phillps screws, and there's a variety of holes that allow you to cant the holster, which I noticed nearly nobody does (almost all the pictures on Amazon including this one shows the holster straight up and down). For concealment, ease of draw and comfort I always get a holster with a cant, so I played with the adjustments and canted it in the middle position which looks to be about 10degrees. I wear my holsters at 4 oclock and use heavy gunbelts because the best holster in the world is useless without a good belt.
So I popped this one and was immediately impressed with how comfortable it is. No sharp edges I could feel and no flop once it's secured to the belt and in place. The little screw in hooks are deep enough that the grabbed my belt just fine and the paddle has another hook on it that grabs whatever is nearby to lock the holster in place, a real plus for a paddle style holster. It's hard to remove this one you have it one, so that gets good marks from me.
Holstering the pistol was nice, an audible click once it's in place, and no amount of grabbing or tugging brough it out. There's very little flop (there IS some, but it's not terrible) so it was made well and formed well. Drawing is where this holster REALLY shines; the lock is right in line with your index finger and it's very intuitive and easy to learn how to draw safely with this holster. Your finger just naturally goes to the slide after you unlock the pistol, and it doesn't take a lot of pressure to unlock the latch either. Once it's unlocked, the pistol glides out of the holster effortlessly. There's nothing rubbing, no friction and no pressure points anywhere so fast drawing with this holster once you get muscle memory going with the latch is easy. I spent an afternoon walking around my house doing chores drawing and holstering enough that I got used to it very quickly. There is an adjustable tension screw but I haven't touched it because I like where the draw is right now and have no intention of messing with it.
Overall very impressed with the quality and fit. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the plastic is durable. My only complaint is that I don't have any hips at all and the holster holds the pistol out away from my body enough that it pulls my pants down unless I really cinch the belt tight, which isn't much to complain about since it should be snug and tight anyway, but it's annoying to have a tight belt when you go out to eat and have to move the belt back a notch when you're full. I also didn't notice when I ordered this that it's listed as "gunmetal gray." I wish I had been paying attention and gotten black, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. The gray is dark enough that it's only slightly noticeable.
No visible metal components do allow for a perfect profile without any type of discernible sound when walking. You can hang your pistol on the belt or by the included paddle attachment. The paddle hugs the holster closer to you than the belt attachment. With the paddle, there is more equal weight distribution, allowing for a more comfortable carry and less strain on your pants/belt. It does seem to hang quite low for me, and the only way that I can see this working out for concealed carry is one of two ways: 1) Coat that is below the inseam 2) Shirt that is fit larger than average shirt (untucked), such as a sports jersey (i.e. Hockey, Baseball or Football Jersey). Carrying on the belt attachment keeps the gun even further from your waistline, making the gun obvious to an astute observer.
This is not an ideal holster for concealed carry given the width without a jacket. I know of people who use this for Open Carry - where it is legal to do so (Florida is not one of those states) - or people use it on their own property or on a firing range. I am aware that some Rangemasters and Firearms instructors disallow the use of this specific holster.
One caveat that I have read is the possibility of accidental discharging of the sidearm when drawing the weapon or returning it to the holster. If you release the gun with a straight right index finger and lift up, this is unlikely. Additionally, it is important to perform drills when drawing your weapon, unloaded, to ensure that you are entirely familiar with this safety system. It is with constant practice that this becomes second nature. Under tense situations; however, under duress or panic, a user can mistakenly fire as they draw their weapon.
When it comes to a holster carry, I feel very secure given the low likelihood that the gun will come out on its own and it has a quick release that does not hinder me from drawing my pistol. The cant can be adjusted in 3 positions (vertical, forward or backwards). Blackhawk items are modular in that they can fit other configurations for dozens of uses. That flexibility with its unique design was my major decision to purchase this. There is a lot of versatility with this set up.
Overall, I personally, enjoy wearing my pistol with this holster but the caveats exist and it is up to you to decide if this fits your purpose.
Happy Shooting to You!
It's incredibly well-made and the pistol retention is second to none. You CANNOT remove your gun without activating the push plate. The IWB portion also curves nicely, such that you will probably forget you're even wearing a holster. Drawing your gun is easy, and reholstering comes with a very satisfying CLICK that lets you know the gun is fully seated. You can easily adjust the cant of the gun within just a couple of minutes. This holster does its job superbly and I would have expected to pay double the price for this kind of quality.
My only tiny complaint (and this may be seen as a positive for some) is taking the paddle out of your waist band. There's a small hook-like nub that aids retention on the draw and keeps the holster from riding up accidentally. It does its job well, but when you need to take the holster off that nub makes it a pretty difficult thing to do. I don't think they need such an aggressive hook since the gun flows out of the holster with zero resistance when you draw, but if someone is worried about a third party removing the holster and gun together during a struggle or something I could see the value. Regardless, I may shave mine down to make it easier to remove. As it is every time I go to take it off it takes two hands and it looks like there's a bee in my underwear the way I bend and twist to get the thing off.
To end on a high note, if you're a value shopper like me, buy the thing. You won't be disappointed in the least. This thing fits my Smith & Wesson SD9VE like a glove. There's no wiggle when it's fully seated, and the mechanism for retention works flawlessly. I can't believe such a great holster was such a bargain!

The firearm is locked in place very well, and the holster is sturdy and fits well on the hip. Definitely recommend.
Purchase for a Beretta 92S surplus and required some work to get the lock working properly due to the very slight extra length compared to a 92FS.
