shot my M&P .45 for the first time

[Rastoff]

I was very aware of the potential hazard of a AD when drawing...

If this were the only issue I would never say anything. There are other, potentially more serious issues with the Serpa. Even so, if you're happy with it, press on.

I sold it along with the Glock and everything else I had to go with it.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but, do not buy a Serpa holster. There are many reasons why this holster is not a good one, but I'll save that for another time.

If you want a level 2 holster, this one is far better: Safariland(R) Model 6378 ALS(R) Paddle Holster|The SAFARILAND Group

Friend I hear you and we all want to save a few dollars. However, the holster is an area we shouldn't skimp on. You might only carry when on the ATV, but if you're out for 6 hours, you might wish you had a better one. We only care about comfort when we're uncomfortable. Better to be a little uncomfortable in the pocket book for a moment than to have an uncomfortable holster for hours one day.

Thank you, I'm going to check and see if they have something I like for my 642-1.

Well I shot it some more yesterday while out riding and I am really liking it a lot.

I hit that rock more times than I missed it. One day here soon I'll hit the range and see just how well I really do.

I wear a Blackhawk SERPA® Level 3 Duty Holster at work and love it. Practice is everything.

Anyway, congrats on your purchase, the M&P is a great pistol.
