Are you searching for the ideal outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster that offers uncompromising security, lightning-fast draws, and surprising concealability for your Sig Sauer P365 or P365XL? Do you need a reliable OWB holster that can accommodate modern pistol enhancements like red dot sights, all while providing all-day comfort? Look no further. The Blackhawk SERPA Close Quarters Concealment (CQC) Holster is meticulously engineered to meet the demanding needs of concealed carry permit holders, law enforcement professionals, competitive shooters, and everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts. Crafted with precision in the U.S.A., this holster sets the benchmark for OWB performance, ensuring your firearm is always secure yet instantly accessible.

Why Choose the Blackhawk SERPA CQC for Your Sig P365/P365XL?

When it comes to carrying a firearm, the balance between security, accessibility, and comfort is paramount. Many holsters excel in one area but fall short in others. The Blackhawk SERPA CQC holster for the P365 and P365XL (note: this holster is designed exclusively for the original P365 and the P365XL models) masterfully integrates these crucial elements into a single, high-performance package. It's the go-to solution for those who demand the best in firearm retention without sacrificing draw speed or the ability to discreetly carry their weapon.

What makes the SERPA CQC stand out as a top choice for your P365 or P365XL? It’s a combination of patented technology, intelligent design, and a deep understanding of shooter needs. From its unique Auto-Lock retention system to its thoughtful "speed cut" profile, every aspect of this holster is engineered for optimal performance in real-world scenarios.

Unparalleled Security with the Patented SERPA Auto-Lock™ System

One of the most critical features of any holster is its ability to securely retain your firearm, preventing accidental dislodgement while ensuring it's always ready when you need it. The Blackhawk SERPA CQC holster employs the revolutionary and patented Auto-Lock™ retention system, a hallmark of all SERPA holsters. This active retention device provides a Level 2 retention, meaning it secures your pistol firmly in place until you decide to draw.

How does the Auto-Lock™ work?

• The mechanism is brilliantly simple and intuitive. As you re-holster your Sig P365 or P365XL, the Auto-Lock™ automatically engages, creating a positive, audible "click" that confirms your firearm is safely secured.
• To release your weapon, simply grip the pistol naturally. As your finger extends forward in the natural "finger-off-the-trigger" position, it rests precisely in the SERPA’s integrated Finger Tray. Apply a small amount of pressure with your index finger against the release button, and the Auto-Lock™ disengages, allowing for a smooth and unobstructed draw.
• This design ensures that the firearm can only be released when a deliberate and correct drawing motion is initiated, significantly enhancing safety and preventing unauthorized access or accidental drops. This system is praised by law enforcement and military personnel worldwide for its reliability and speed under pressure.

Beyond the active Auto-Lock™, the SERPA CQC also features a user-adjustable passive retention detent screw. This allows you to fine-tune the tension of the holster, customizing the level of resistance during the draw and re-holster process to your personal preference. Whether you prefer a tighter fit for rigorous activity or a slightly looser feel for competition, this adjustability ensures optimal performance tailored to your specific needs.

Swift Draw and Target Acquisition with the "Speed Cut" Design

In any defensive or competitive shooting situation, seconds, even fractions of a second, can make all the difference. The Blackhawk SERPA CQC holster is designed with a unique "speed cut" profile that significantly contributes to a faster and more efficient draw cycle.

What is the "Speed Cut" design and why is it important?

• Unlike traditional holsters that might fully encapsulate the top of the firearm, the SERPA CQC features an open-top, low-cut design. This exposes more of the upper portion of the pistol, allowing the muzzle of your P365 or P365XL to begin moving level faster as you draw. This means less vertical travel is needed before your sight picture is aligned, resulting in quicker target acquisition and more accurate initial shots. For concealed carriers, this translates to faster response times in critical situations, and for competitive shooters, it means valuable time saved on the clock.

Red Dot Sight Compatibility:

• A major advantage of the "speed cut" design is its inherent compatibility with pistol-mounted reflex sights (also known as red dot sights or MRDS). As red dot sights become increasingly popular for their enhanced aiming capabilities, many traditional holsters struggle to accommodate them. The SERPA CQC’s open-top design provides ample clearance for most common red dot sights mounted on your Sig P365 or P365XL, eliminating the need to search for a specialized, often bulkier, holster. This means you can upgrade your firearm with confidence, knowing your holster will remain fully functional and effective.

Maximizing Concealability for Outside-the-Waistband Carry

While OWB carry is often associated with open carry or range use, the Blackhawk SERPA CQC is specifically engineered to be one of the most concealable OWB holsters available. The challenge with OWB holsters is typically their tendency to "print" or create an outline under clothing, making concealed carry difficult.

How does the SERPA CQC enhance OWB concealability?

• The SERPA CQC features a remarkably thin profile and is designed to hug the body tightly. Its contoured shape minimizes bulk, keeping the overall footprint of the holster as close to your waistline as possible. This "thin form" design, combined with the adjustable cant (angle) of the holster, allows you to position your P365 or P365XL optimally to avoid printing, even under a light jacket or an untucked shirt. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who prefer the comfort and accessibility of OWB carry but still require a level of discretion for everyday concealed carry.

Versatility and Modularity: Adaptable to Your Needs

The Blackhawk SERPA CQC Holster is not just a standalone carry solution; it’s a foundational component of a highly versatile and modular system. Each SERPA CQC holster comes standard with two essential platforms in the box: the CQC Belt Loop and the CQC Paddle.

CQC Belt Loop:

• The belt loop attachment provides a secure and stable method of carrying your holster on your belt. It’s ideal for duty use, range training, or situations where maximum stability is desired. The adjustable cant feature allows you to customize the angle of your firearm for a faster, more natural draw, whether you prefer a straight draw, a slight forward cant, or even a cross-draw configuration.

CQC Paddle Platform:

• For situations requiring quick attachment and removal, the CQC Paddle offers unparalleled convenience. This innovative platform allows you to securely wear the holster without threading it through a belt, making it perfect for quick trips, range sessions, or when you need to don and doff your firearm frequently. Despite its ease of use, the paddle design ensures excellent retention on your waistband or belt, providing a comfortable and stable carry. Like the belt loop, the paddle also offers adjustable cant, empowering you to fine-tune your carry position for optimal comfort and draw efficiency.

Expanding Your Carry Options:

• Beyond the included attachments, the SERPA CQC Holster is designed to be compatible with a wide array of Blackhawk’s modular holster platforms. This extensive compatibility significantly expands its use cases, allowing you to seamlessly transition your P365 or P365XL between different carry methods without needing a new holster body.
• Shoulder Harness Platforms: Transform your OWB holster into a comfortable and discreet shoulder rig for deep concealment or specific professional needs.
• S.T.R.I.K.E.® Platforms: Integrate your holster directly onto MOLLE/PALS webbing found on tactical vests, chest rigs, or backpacks, making it ideal for tactical applications, military, or law enforcement use.
• Quick Disconnect Systems: Allows for rapid and tool-free transition of your holster between multiple platforms (e.g., from a belt loop to a tactical thigh rig, or to a chest mount). This is invaluable for professionals who need to adapt their gear setup on the fly.
• Tactical Holster Platforms: Attach your SERPA CQC to drop-leg or thigh rigs for a lower carry position, popular for tactical operations or when wearing body armor.

This exceptional modularity means your investment in a Blackhawk SERPA CQC holster goes further, providing a versatile solution that adapts to virtually any carrying requirement or mission profile.
