BLACKHAWK! CQC Carbon Fiber Holsters
®
Congratulations! You have just purchased the most advanced concealment holster on the market today. Here is a list of its many unique features,
®
• Available with patented SERPA
Technology/Active Retention System®which
provides lightening fast access and unparalleled security without cumbersome
straps and snaps
• Molded from a durable resilient blend of carbon fiber and impact-modified nylon
for low maintenance and high performance in all environments
• Micro fiber inlay with carbon fiber pattern gives not only a sleek, cutting-edge
look, but provides superior sound deadening performance
• Advanced modular platform system for a variety of carry options included with
every holster
• All hardware either stainless steel or brass for all weather performance
®
Instructions for use (applies to both SERPA
and standard models):
1. Make sure the handgun is unloaded and that the holster selected is the correct
model for your handgun. See the original package for fit information. CQC Carbon
®
Fiber Holsters
are marked on the back of the holster as to the primary model of
gun designed to fit in the holster. Because of their high level of performance CQC
Carbon Fiber Holsters
®
are very gun specific and only the guns listed in the fit information should be used with a particular holster. DO NOT under any
circumstances attempt to use a non-listed or modified gun in the holster.
2. Using an UNLOADED handgun push the gun into the holster as far as it will go.
On both models you should both hear and feel the engagement of the passive detent mechanism. Also on the SERPA Active Retention System
®
models, the
trigger guard lock will engage and the finger-activation platform will return to its
outermost position.
3. Passive retention adjustment for both the SERPA
®
and non-SERPA®models is
the same. Using a screwdriver turn the Phillips screw head located on the front
of the holster one full turn counter-clock wise. Insert the UNLOADED handgun
onto the holster as far as it will go. Gradually turn the adjustment screw clockwise one 1/8 of a turn at a time. Then remove the UNLOADED handgun each 1/8
turn of the screw from the holster to determine the amount of retention on the
handgun.
A small adjustment makes a big difference in the retention feature of the holster.
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
®
SERPA Active Retention
models simply grasp the handgun in a natural firm grip.
is very simple. On the
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.
