Hey guys, I decided on a 9MM 2.0 with a 5" barrel for a range gun. I still want to be able to carry and am looking for a holster. I was considering the Blackhawk Serpa CQC 410525BK-R
. Anyone try the fit with a 5'' barrel? Any suggestions would be helpful, I don't want something the slide hangs out off, and I cant get the info anywhere else!

Will be carrying OWB. The compact is great for EDC, but I like options!

Thanks for any suggestions

Pretty sure I had that exact Blackhawk holster. Not 100% sure though. Anyway, it was purchased for a m&p 1.0 40 I used to have. It was the 4 inch variety, I also had a 5 inch 2.0 and it fit it great but some of the barrel did stick out. Wasn’t a big deal, wasn’t crawling around in the mud or anything. I got a alien gear for the 2.0 5 inch. I think it’s a cloak slide owb It’s the one that comes with belt attachment and the paddle. I like it fine. On the outside of the holster there is complete coverage of the 5 inch barrel. On the inside, the side against your hip, some of the barrel is exposed. I have never had anything get into this spot of barrel exposure to cause any issues. This particular holster I carry owb concealed all the time in the colder months, my vest covers it nicely, can’t tell I’m packing. In summer months I don’t carry the 5 inch concealed. Go to a smaller pistol. Been very happy with my alien gear holsters. Have another one for my 1911 and probably will own more.

Great info thanks again. still not sure if I am getting a rail accessory but am leaning towards the Leather pancake type like I have for my compact. Does the open top hold the pistol tight? My compact has a strap at the top. I ride a lot when I carry so that's why I ask.

Thanks in advance!

Here is a couple shots to show the 5"barrel in the Blackhawk holster. I went with this holster for now because I am not sure what I might put on the rail. It seems a good fit ,but the barrel is proud about 5/32 out of the holster. the site is not hanging out and is a smooth draw. Until I get some trigger time and see where I go with the accessories for this pistol this works for me. I picked it up on ebay new in package for 24.00.
