Blackhawk Drop-Leg Holster Problem

Postby EricK » Thu Jun 17, 2010 4:12 pm

Hey, everyone!

I just got a KSC G17 from EhobbyAsia and also ordered the Blackhawk! Drop-Leg holster from LA Police Gear for the 17/19/22/23/31/32 to carry it in. (http://www.lapolicegear.com/blsetahobe92.html)

Here's the problem: it doesn't fit. The first one that LAPG sent me the 17 got stuck going in. I figured the molding was messed up because my KSC G17 fit perfectly into my brothers Blackhawk! drop-leg platform that he also had ordered (only difference is that his is Left handed), so I sent the first one back.

The replacement showed up today and guess what? Same problem. The 17 gets further down in this holster before sticking than the last one did, but it still gets stuck just before the SERPA lock grips the trigger guard.

If I force the replica into the locked position, it looks like the slide of the G17 is pushed back a little.

I've tried adjusting everything, particularly the retention screw, which I naturally tried adjusting first, but I had no luck.

Anybody else have this problem, or know of a way to fix it?


Thanks in advance,

Eric

I had that problem with my WE1911 and the regular size SERPA holster. I bought the CQC style SERPA holster also and it didn't have the problem. For the regular size SERPA I Dremeled it out a little on the points it was catching. Now it works great.

Heres the issue, the AS Glocks are pretty close but not exactly the same specs as the real Glock I have 5 or so real Glock holsters, some fit the AS Glock some don't (Fobus). Like mentioned above, figure where its hanging up then get busy with the Dremel.
