5. CARE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!: Failure to routinely inspect, test and care for your holster may prevent your firearm from
being properly deployed and/or defeat retention characteristics. It is critical that you strictly follow these
care instructions.
5.1 Inspecting Your SERPA ® Holster
Although your holster does not have a specific service life, no holster lasts forever. Your holster’s functionality
and retention properties will diminish as the holster ages and is used. Therefore, you should test and inspect
your holster frequently (at least monthly) and each time before going on duty. Replace your holster if it cannot
meet these criteria:
• Carefully inspect your holster for cracking, deformation, missing parts and excessive wear.
• Adjust the passive retention screw and mounting screws as necessary.
• Check to ensure that all other screws are securely tightened. Replace missing screws immediately.
Contact BLACKHAWK! ® if you need additional parts.
