Blackhawk Duty Holsters
Duty holsters frequently need to be drawn on a moment's notice. In the 1960s and 1970s, thumb-break snaps were typical features of holsters. The snaps had to be pushed through with a thumb in order to release the gun. This often caused the officer to draw the gun too slowly in certain dangerous situations when it was needed immediately. Today, new designs have eliminated the need for thumb-break snaps on most duty holsters. Features like SERPA retention systems allow a gun to be retrieved instantly while still keeping it secure from the hands of perpetrators who could turn the gun on an officer.
Blackhawk was the first manufacturer to include SERPA retention systems in all of its holsters. The Blackhawk SERPA devices engage and secure a gun's trigger guard when the gun is placed in the duty holster. The trigger guard is not released again until the gun is drawn. No flaps or snaps are necessary to secure the gun in this instance.
Duty Holsters with Fast-Drawing Capabilities
Officers on duty may also choose to have concealed weapons in addition to their normal duty weapons. Concealed weapons can be placed in a variety of locations on the body using specialized holsters. The shoulder and ankle areas are particularly common locations for police officers to use, as these areas are easily accessible if the need to use a weapon arises.
