Dear Valued Blackhawk Dealer or Distributor,
Blackhawk Products Group is announcing a safety recall that applies to the "High Wall" versions of Blackhawk's Carbon Fiber SERPA Holsters and Blackhawk Sportster Holsters intended to fit only Glock Models 20 and 21 and the Smith & Wesson M&P in any caliber or configuration that are marked: "Glock 20/21"; "Glock 20/21 S&W M&P; or "Glock 20/21 S&W M&P .45". These holsters also have the Component Part Number C1215 or C1215-L molded into the bottom of the rear wall of the holster body.
No other holster models, sizes or "fits" are affected by, or included in, this recall. This safety recall does not apply to "Low Wall" versions of the holsters mentioned and the SERPA mechanism is not the cause of, or anyway involved in, this recall.
It has been determined that employing certain movements when attempting to place the Smith and Wesson M&P Pistol (in any caliber or configuration) 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". A discharge or "firing" of the weapon in this manner could cause property damage or personal injury or death to the user and/or others.
Therefore, we are recalling all of the "High Wall" versions of these holsters and these versions ONLY.
As such, you should immediately determine if any of your personal holsters or any holsters in your inventory are included in the two groups of holsters affected by this recall as described in the actual Announcement linked below. If they are, you must stop using them and/or offering them for sale and return them to Blackhawk Products Group for replacement.
A modified design has already been completed and will be available to make the replacement holsters compatible with BOTH the Glock 20 and 21 AND the Smith and Wesson M&P 45. Please note that those right and left hand holsters currently designated for the Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm and 40cal (410025BK and 410525BK ) are NOT affected by this action and they will still be the recommended models for those firearms.
If, after reading the linked Announcement, you have any questions or concerns, in addition to the contact information contained within it, please feel free to contact your Blackhawk customer service representative directly.
