“Are you mentally off or do you find conspiracy in every conversation?“

Inconsistencies, actually. First you say Serpa holsters are unsafe. Then you say you’re not blaming them.

Which is it?

“People who dramatize those ‘ah ha gotcha’ moments are usually looking for approval or attention.”

Sometimes it’s the simple satisfaction of calling bull**** bull****.

You don’t read well or you like to put words in others mouths.

I have been stating that Serpas are not used at many ranges and training centers because of their history of shooter accidents. Fact.

I don’t actually blame any equipment in doing so and later went on to explain that accidents are usually th result of a chain of events, that ultimately end up in pilot (shooter error). The many rules we follow are written in the blood of accidents.

Sometimes new equipment or technology results in new practices, good or bad, and leads back to new rules from resulting not seen before accidents. Cops going from revolvers to glocks experiences that. Training changed as a result.

In the case of the Serpa, my biggest beef comes back to my comment about the number of gun owners vs those that are actually even trained in holster skills. A beginner without significant instruction runs the risk of developing bad habits with the design. An experienced shooter would already know what good and bad habits are. I don’t care what an experienced shooter uses, but I cautioned against the new shooter using it because of the real life experience training centers have seen from folks using the Serpa.

Now we could have had a constructive conversation about different training techniques or ideology, but you pretty much choose to shut that down with denigrating and generally disrespectful remarks. It’s entirely up to you if you want to continue that or actually have a shooters discussion.
