Celebrating 15 Years of Crafting Better Carry

In October of 2010, Black Arch Holsters was founded in a college apartment with one goal in mind: to build holsters that worked better for people who carry every day. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just functional, durable gear made by people who carry — for people who carry.

That mission hasn't changed. But almost everything else has.

What started with a few tools on a folding table has grown into a trusted brand serving tens of thousands across the country. Our shop has expanded, our team has grown, and our designs have evolved — but at the core, we still build holsters around how real people live, move, and carry.

From Apartment to Industry Staple

In those early days, every order was built by hand, packed by hand, and shipped out one at a time. Feedback came directly from the customers who wore our gear — and we listened.

Now, we offer a full lineup of holsters built around modularity, concealment, and comfort. From the Protos-M platform to the side car compatible Entrada, adaptable Rev-Con, and the premium Gradient, each product is the result of years of refinement and real-world feedback.

We’ve put in the work — and we’re proud to be a trusted name in the EDC and firearms community 15 years later.

Built by You

We didn’t get here alone.

Every customer who trusted us with their carry setup, every review, every return, every piece of feedback — that’s what shaped us. You helped us grow. You helped us improve. And you made it clear that quality and function always win.

So as we mark 15 years in business, we see it as a milestone shared with every person who’s carried Black Arch gear.

What’s Ahead

We’re not done.

More product updates, fresh designs, and platform improvements are already in the works. We’re doubling down on what’s always mattered: building gear that holds up, holds tight, and holds true to what you need out of your holster.

Thank you for 15 years of support. We’re just getting started.
