BLACKHAWK! CQC Carbon Fiber Holsters - Manual (Page 2)

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Keep adjusting until you are satisfied with
the degree of retention. The factors controlling the degree of retention on your
holster and gun are your personal preferences and the intended use of the
holster and gun.
4. The active retention feature of the SERPA ® holsters require no adjustment
however the passive feature should be adjusted as in step three.
5. Drawing from both models of CQC Carbon Fiber Holsters ® is very simple. On the
SERPA Active Retention ® models simply grasp the handgun in a natural firm grip.
Your index finger will naturally find and align itself with the finger-activation
platform. Depress the finger-activation platform releasing the lock mechanism
while smoothly drawing the gun from the holster. Do not attempt to pull up on the
gun until you have depressed the finger-activation platform. Standard models
(Non-SERPA
® ) require only that you remove the handgun from the holster briskly
to overcome the passive retention detent. To re-holster both models return the
handgun to the holster and push it firmly into the holster until you both feel and
hear the retention feature(s) lock in. Additionally on the SERPA Active Retention
®
models you will also observe the finger tray return to its outermost position.
WARNINGS
Anyone handling a firearm should use extreme caution in the handling of such
firearms. Because the improper use of firearms is inherently dangerous, you
should undertake a safety course on the use and maintenance of a firearm before
using one. Although the CQC Carbon Fiber Holster
® is designed with the utmost
care and concern for safety, the use of a holster with a firearm remains an activ-
ity that requires training, skill and care in the proper use of the firearm and the
holster.
In using the CQC Carbon Fiber Holster ® described in this pamphlet, the user must
be aware that each holster is designed to fit a specific group of handguns and
therefore may not fit the contours of certain handguns exactly. The CQC Carbon
Fiber Holster
® is constructed in such a fashion that it is designed for the guns
listed for each particular holster and size.
YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS HOLSTER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THESE
WARNINGS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND CARE OF THE HOLSTER
AS DESCRIBED THEREIN. IN SOME CASES THE HOLSTER MAY NEED TO BE AD-
JUSTED FOR YOU PERSONALLY AND FOR YOUR FIREARM.
1. Check to ensure that your firearm is one for which the CQC Carbon Fiber
Holster
® has been designed to fit. The CQC Carbon Fiber Holster ® has been devel-
oped for only the particular models and sizes listed in the BLACKHAWK! ® catalog.
YOU MUST NOT USE THE CQC CARBON FIBER HOLSTER ™ WITH A FIREARM
THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED.
