BlackHawk Recalls Holsters


Law Officer Team | From the February 2008 Issue Thursday, January 31, 2008

BlackHawk Products Group has issued a safety recall affecting two holster groups intended to fit Glock pistol models 20 and 21 and the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol in any caliber or configuration. The safety recall applies to several “high wall” models of the Blackhawk Carbon Fiber SERPA and the Blackhawk Sportster holsters.
BlackHawk states, “As a result of a single incident, it has been determined that employing certain movements when attempting to place the Smith & Wesson M&P pistol into these high-wall holsters can cause the handgun to engage that high wall and unexpectedly discharge if there is a round in the chamber and the trigger is in what Smith & Wesson calls ‘the striker fire action mode.’”
