The Blackhawk Serpa CQC 410567BKL delivers rapid draw capability with active retention security for Glock 42 pistols. This outside-the-waistband holster combines the speed of competition holsters with duty-grade retention mechanisms. Left-handed shooters gain access to professional-level gear engineered for consistent performance under stress.
What Makes This Different
The Serpa CQC system uses an indexed finger release that activates naturally during the drawing motion, eliminating fumbling with thumb breaks or retention straps. Unlike passive friction holsters, the active retention mechanism secures the firearm until the proper release sequence is executed. The polymer construction maintains consistent retention force regardless of temperature fluctuations or moisture exposure. This design provides Level 2 retention without sacrificing draw speed.

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.2-second draw times after minimal training with the indexed release system. The holster maintains positive retention during physical activity, making it suitable for duty carry, competition shooting, and concealed carry applications. Weather resistance testing shows no retention degradation after exposure to rain, snow, and temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F.
