OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – September 22, 2023 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has released the following statement as a reply to safety concerns that have been issued from firearms manufacturers on the associated use of light-bearing holsters.

While Blackhawk appreciates handgun manufacturers cautioning holster users about light-bearing holster safety, we feel bound to point out that Blackhawk is unaware of any of these numerous uncommanded discharges with light-bearing holsters to have involved a Blackhawk T-Series holster. Our designs are weapon-light model specific and greatly minimize the gap found on the other generic weapon-light model design holsters.

As the world’s first thumb driven, dual-injected molded holster, the T-Series is Blackhawk’s premier duty-rated holster. Designed to follow Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principal, all T-Series holsters are specifically developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm. To date, the T-Series has been chosen by more than 3,200 law enforcement agencies as their duty holster of choice both in the U.S. and abroad.

    Blackhawk has never made safe products.

    How many legs were shot before agencies started banning SERPA holsters for funneling your finger onto the trigger as you drew your pistol or for failing to release the gun if the holster was dirty?

    With the T-Series, they have just found new ways of being dangerous to use.
