Thats pretty neat Zorak. So pretty much, you pick out your fav. Safariland or other kydex holster, and pop it in the HSGI leg platform? Thats a really cool idea. So would a SERPA series holster fit inside that HSGI leg rig? Or do only Safaris fit? You know, it just occurred to me that the fit isn't the issue at all. The SERPA's release button would be inside the nylon of the HSGI rig. You might have serious difficulty working that button through that nylon. D'oh!

Yikes Judge.
I don't think I'd have the stomach to do that to a $120 holster...I have nothing else to say.
LAX- How high can you get your SERPA to ride on your leg?
I'm wondering if a SERPA can go as high up on your leg as Judge's Modded Safari.

The top strap on my drop legs are just beneath ball level. I could adjust them higher, but then there would be potential for an unfortunate crushing incident.

That sounds swell ;D ROFL
So it pretty much sits entirely on the fattest part of your thigh then? (Thats what I'm hopefully going for)

You can adjust it to go higher or lower. I just prefer to have mine ride a little higher so I don't have to reach as far to grab stuff.

I have owned both a SERPA dropleg and a Safariland 6004 that I modified. Fit: Safariland wins, the dual belt straps seemed like a good idea but the would bind up when I was crouching down and it's just more straps to snag on things. Quality: Safariland wins, the hardware is higher quality as is the plastic used, they also line the holster with a fabric as to not damage your gun. Performance: Safiland wins, twice my SERPA release jammed up so I couldn't draw my weapon in a game, this is why I got rid of it. If anyone knows me they know I take EXTREMELY good care of my equipment, dirt jammed up in the release during a game and would not function, this is unacceptable to me. The Safariland is in my mind more secure with the top strap and just as fast to draw. I see no way that the Safariland can malfunction. Price: Same Modding the Safariland is easy, it literally only took 10 minutes with a dremel and a sharpie to do this:

Well written C. Thats what I'm lookin' for. Now I've discovered a slightly larger problem about the Safaris. I cannot find a Tan one that fits 1911/.45's. Does Safariland even make one of those? I checked their website and it seems it only comes in black.

Yes, they do, mine is OD and made for a 1911, I am positive they had tan available but out of stock when I bought mine.
Try lapolicegear.com, call them if it's not on their website, they are good to go.

Roughneck had/has a Tan Safariland for 1911 w/ light. So I know they do make them. It's probably one of their more popular models, right next to the M9 model.

Actually Thor, I think Roughs is black and he sprayed it.
But yeah, they ABSOLUTELY make all their holsters in tan, its just a matter of finding one in stock, you might have to get one on backorder. They are the best, so all of our trigger pullers and door kickers want them for overseas.
A buddy of mine with 2/75th Rangers was issued a SERPA for his M9 on his last deployment to the 'Stan. He said he used it for about two weeks, then he personally purchased a Safariland 6005 and used that.

Roughneck's Safariland with light for the 1911 is now mine, but it is black and spray painted, just for you information Thor.
