Review: Blackhawk CQC Serpa Holster with Belt and Paddle Attachment for Glock 29/30/39
I recently had the pleasure of testing the Blackhawk CQC Serpa Holster with belt and paddle attachment, designed for my Glock 29, 30, and 39. As an avid shooter and gun enthusiast, I was excited to see how this holster would perform in real-world usage.
Initial Impressions:
Upon opening the package, I was impressed by the holster’s sturdy construction and sleek design. The black finish and high-quality material gave it a premium feel, and the compact size made it easy to stow away in my gear bag or on my belt.
Fitment and Adjustability:
The holster is designed to fit a range of Glock models (29, 30, and 39), and I was relieved to find that it fit my Glock 29 snugly. The adjustable retention device allows for a secure hold on the pistol, and the paddle attachment made it easy to attach to my belt. The belt itself is sturdy and has a good grip, preventing the holster from rotating or shifting during wear.
Retention and Security:
One of the standout features of this holster is its retention and security system. The Serpa design uses a passive retention mechanism that provides a secure hold on the pistol, even when drawn. The paddle attachment ensures a snug fit on the belt, and the belt itself has a reinforced stitch for added strength.

I was pleased to find that the draw was smooth and effortless, thanks to the incorporated trigger guard and slight angling of the holster. This made it easy to access my Glock quickly and accurately, even in high-stress situations.
