XDm and Blackhawk Serpa issues - XDTalk Forums

tag · 02-13-2009, 08:07 PM

I've read that people are having no issues with XDm's fitting in Blackhawk Serpa holsters. I also called Blackhawk and they said they test fitted one and there was no issue.

Based on those recommendations, I ordered one. Is this what's considered no issues with fitment, or did I just get really unlucky with manufacturing tolerances?
(Ignore me missing the holster at the end, I was looking at the camera's screen to make sure everything stayed in frame)

tag, i own a BH serpa CQC, and there is no problem with it at all. It sticks out the end by 1/2in, but the retention is good. i also use the one that came with my gear.

Is your XDM wobbling around in the CQC, or does it fit in nicely? My friends XD-45 fits perfectly in it, but my XDM wobbles whenever I walk with it in my CQC.

Did you watch the video?

i have not noticed any wobbling at all. i have worn it numerous times. but no i have not watched any video, what video? nice and snug

I have the Blackhawk and I get the wobble - not so much as to be non functional but still a wobble. I did not get that with the same type holster and the glock. Still use it with my XD and M - both fit

The video I linked to in the bottom of my first post. Unless I screwed up and it's not showing up (which is entirely possible). I'll try linking again

Video here
