Announcing the Protos-M
BLACK ARCH ANNOUNCES THE PROTOS-M HOLSTER
Logan, UT — June 28, 2016 — Black Arch, a manufacturer of hybrid holsters, announced today the release of its latest product, the Protos-M. Designed to be completely modular, this holster is intended to meet the needs of those who carry daily, train hard, and compete to win.
The Protos-M is able to adapt to any mode of carry (IWB, OWB, and AIWB) by using one of three interchangeable backers. This means that you can carry your gun in different positions and levels of concealment with a single holster. The Protos-M uses their patent-pending ¾ Hybrid system, which means that you will experience the exact same draw no matter which backer you use (note: each backer is custom designed and only compatible with a single model of gun).
More than just a modular holster, the Protos-M is engineered for all-day carry and built to last. Precision-molded kydex, hand-finished leather, and stainless steel components all come together in this new design to create the highest quality holster possible. Completely redesigned backers provide a smaller footprint and make these holsters incredibly concealable and comfortable.
The Protos-M will retail for $94.95 with one backer included and is currently available for pre-order online at blackarchholsters.com. Individual backers will be available for $34.95. The complete Protos-M system box set will retail for $209.95, including one shell, three backers, extra hardware, and accessories. Pre-orders will begin shipping Friday, July 8th. All Black Arch holsters include free shipping and a lead time of only 2-4 business days.

Just received my OWB Protos-M and 2 Mag carriers in Hexcam and couldn’t be more pleased.
The holster was for my Walther PPQ M2 and the fit is excellent. Tried it on and with just a T-shirt I had good concealment, in fact the printing was less that the,holster I was using for my S&W shield. Don’t have any thoughts on changing the Shields holster as it is of excellent quality and does a good job but sure am tempted. One thing I noticed is once you belt the OWB Protos up and run your belt through the last loophole and cinch your belt the holster does not move, it is locked in so make sure you have it positioned where you want. This may be a break In thing, just make sure it is where you want it before tightening your belt.
The mag carriers are equally good. Easy to put on and take off without removing your belt. Tension on the mags is good, you can shake your mags out but you have to work at it and they come with spare ranger bands. Like em a lot.
This is just an initial mishap mash of thoughts as I haven’t had a chance to carry my pistol all day, but will give it a good workout in the weeks coming. So far quality product and the Hexcam clammy color is off the hook. Quality product, wished I hadn’t purchased cause I am now seriously considering some new duds for my other pistols… Thanks Black Arch you folks make a quality product and so far great customer service.
Any near future plans for adding a Kahr to your Protos line?
