Blackhawk Duty SERPA Level 3 w/ light

[screech60]

Anyone tried this particular setup? I have the Level 2 SERPA and really like it. However, I also have the Surefire X200 and was carrying it in the Safariland 6280. I really miss not having a weapons-mounted light. A wonderful piece of equipment when conducting building searches, etc. My questions:

1) What steps are required to unholster the Level 3... just the trigger finger depression or do you have to "rock" the weapon? Blackhawks advertising says, "The level 3 SERPA Auto Lock holster uses your natural drawing motion to release the weapon. No un-natural motion or complicated sequences to remember, just grab and draw."

2) The Night Ops Weapon Mounted Light... how does it compare to the X200?

Sorry for the redundancy. I see this basic thread is in the duty gear section as well. Still, any comments on these questions would be appreciated.

Here is an article about a blackhawk holster- level 3 w/tac light. I don't think it answers your specific questions, but it is still a good read.

Here's a photo of the L3 that Paladin just posted elsewhere that clarifies many questions folks have had.

Thanks for the info and links, Nick, Palladin, and Sgt. I'm going to ponder the Level III/light option for now. I do like my level II with the high ride attachment (Thanks for that link Sgt.)

EXACTLY.

Thumb, finger, out. Easy as that. No rocking, no reaching. Very simple.
