Bought the heritage and protos M
Both are extremely comfortable, durable and the quality is top notch

No movement at all. These clips are so secure that you have difficulty removing the holster from your belt.
Hi Jason, thanks for the great review! We’re glad the clips keep your holster secure and movement free. We appreciate you choosing Black Arch Holsters!

Simple but must have upgrade
Thanks for the 5 stars, glad the DCC Mod 4 upgrade is earning its spot as a must have!

I was hesitant to purchase these when I bought my holster, because most times I’ve bought holsters, the clips were fine. That was not the case here.
Not to knock the original clips, but they’re not the greatest. I love the style of the holster, but the clips were not living up to what I was expecting.
I got these and it’s like night and day. The ease of use and the comfort far exceed the originals.
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that the DCC Mod 4 Unil clips made such a positive difference for you. Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Black Arch Holsters!

These things lock down no question, it's not moving once they click on the the belt, but man, it is not easy to move them or adjust them after they are on, so if you dont get placement perfect the first time, you are fighting to get them off so you can readjust. So 3 stars for very very very good and tight fitment but a huge pain in the ace to remove them.
Hi Zachary, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you appreciate the fit, but sorry to hear about the difficulty in readjusting. Those clips will 'break in' in a couple of weeks of you putting the holster on and off and it should make them easier to adjust and move around.

I bought these along with the new holster and these clips compared to the ones it comes with these are slimmer and feels pretty secure
Thanks for the review, glad the slimmer clips are feeling secure for you! Appreciate you picking those up along with the holster.

Strong. Grips under the belt and holds in place very well.

I got the DCC Mod 4 Universal clips for my Entrada for my M & P Shield Plus. The holster is great and the DCC clips hold it in place VERY securely.
Thanks for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear the DCC clips are working perfectly with your Entrada setup. Appreciate the support and feedback!

It's extremely comfortable, the most comfortable holster I've used so far. It could maybe be a little better for concealment with a claw though and I ended up swapping the clips for rock solid clips that come with vedder holsters for a better cant. Since switching the clips though, printing is far less noticeable.
Thanks so much for the feedback! We’re glad to hear this holster has been the most comfortable one you’ve used so far. Great call on swapping clips to fine-tune the cant—everyone’s setup is a little different, and it’s awesome you found what works best for you. We appreciate your note on concealment with a claw too. Thanks again for the support!

Protos-M Dual Clip DCC Mod 4 Universal Upgrade
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
M
Not much what I would call an upgrade. Clips seem quickly made/produced with sharp edges and points. Probably going to reinstall the factory clips and call this a learning experience. Also ordered the comfort pad for the holster. This addition is very comfortable albeit a pretty expensive piece of foam and Velcro. Neither is something I'll purchase again for the money spent.
Thanks for the honest feedback—sorry the DCC clips and Concealed Carry Wedge missed the mark for you. The steel clips are precision-stamped for extra grip, so they shouldn’t have rough edges. If yours feel sharp or if you’d prefer to swap back to our standard clips (or arrange a return), just email support@blackarchholsters.com and we’ll get you taken care of right away. We appreciate you giving Black Arch a try!

Complete security. These things won’t let go.

Overall very pleased with the holster. You guys should just add the DCC monoblock clips to it, instead of forcing an upgrade. The plastic clips are cool for the casual range session, but absolutely not good for real life scenarios.

We appreciate the feedback! Glad to hear you’re pleased with the Protos-M for your CR920XP. We totally understand the preference for DCC Mod 4 clips, and we’ll pass that suggestion along to our team. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—and we’ll definitely check out your full review on ETA Wheels!

Recently purchased three gradient minimalist holsters and a gradient hybrid for myself, my wife and both daughters. The grafient minimalist for my P365 Legion is the best holster I have used for appendix carry comfort and concealment are outstanding.
My wife carries a P365x and younger daughter carries a P365, both use the minimalist to appendix carry and also love the comfort and concealment.
My other daughter carries the P365 Rose and loves the gradient hybrid to side carry and she also loves the option of removing the leather backer and installs waistband clips to use as appendix carry.
The staff at Black Arch is top tier. Their customer service is exceptional and you can tell they want their customers more than happy.
Their holsters are amazing in terms of comfort and concealment as well as price.
They have earned my business and I highly recommend them to all my friends.
Thank you Black Arch, I sincerely appreciate everything.
Wow, this is incredible! Outfitting your entire family with Black Arch holsters is the highest compliment we could receive. We’re thrilled to hear that the Gradient Minimalist and Hybrid are delivering the comfort and concealment you all need for your carry styles. And a huge thank you for the kind words about our team—we truly appreciate your support and recommendations. Carry confidently, and we’re always here if you need anything!

Entrada DCC Mod 4 Universal Upgrade
Thanks for the review
N
Pretty easy break in, very comfortable.
That's what we like to hear!

Fit and comfort are both outstanding! Holds my AXG Legion in place and barely feel it on me. Also really like how with the right adjustments the grip is in perfect position for me. I’m 5’6” and weigh 165 pounds. In shape but on the shorter side. Very happy!
That's greate to hear! Also that is an awesome gun!

These clips stick on your belt really well (almost too well, they’re a pain to remove but worth the retention). They don’t attach to the entrada very well. I had to finangle a bunch of different washers to get the clips on because the set screws can’t go through the holes like they do on the plastic clips. Along with that, you can’t adjust the cant, though you can change the height (barely). They also don’t line up very well when on the actual holster and you have to tighten them so tight (so they don’t wiggle) that it hits parts of the holster causing the clips to bend. All in all, with some changes these could be great and I suppose they’re semi-useable, but as for now I’m going back to the plastic clips for ease of use and more adjustability.
Gage,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback. I've passed this review on to our design team so they can look into it. As far as the metal clips go, they usually take about 2 weeks to 'break in' where they will become easier to take on and off. However if you would like to do a return we can get you a full refund for them. Shoot us an email at sales@blackarchholsters.com and we can get it resolved for you so you aren't out any money. Sorry for all the hassle!

A must have upgrade!
Love hearing that—thanks for the support! Always glad when an upgrade takes the setup to the next level. Appreciate you being part of the Black Arch crew.

Picked up my second holster. They are very spendy but fantastic holsters. They come with instructions for set up and mine came with the upgraded clips in a separate baggie. My Glock holsters wear and the fabric is breathable. These are the most comfortable holsters to wear for concealment with high breath ability. I switch between these, Phlster and Henry Holsters in my carry. Each has their place. I wish these had light bearing holsters with X300/X400 and TLR series lights. Five stars and keep on crushing it.
Really appreciate the detailed review—and the return business! We’re glad the comfort, breathability, and upgraded features are delivering for you. We hear you loud and clear on the light-bearing options, and it’s something that’s definitely on our radar. Thanks for making us part of your carry rotation—and for the solid support.

Most comfortable concealed holster
That’s what we’re all about—thanks for the kind words! Glad the comfort is delivering for your carry.

Holds onto my belt better than the original polymer clip. Not Sure it’s a must have but it is an improvement.

I've purchased and used and modified close to one dozen holsters. I've swapped clips out constantly. I use lock leather holsters from other companies for mostly one reason.....They preserve the finish on my investments.....I've read a forum about the hybrid Protos-M and said to myself...Why Not? This is absolutely the very best holster I have ever spent money on....The holsters I've chosen for my style of concealed carry are a must have for any person who is looking to conceal or open carry with comfort and confidence. I'm in the construction environment 24/7 and so is my personal protection....This company gets an A+.....There is no other holster I will use....Great service and products......Thank You.....
Wow—thank you for the incredible review. It means a lot coming from someone who's clearly put holsters to the test. We’re honored the Protos-M stood out and earned your trust, especially in a demanding environment like construction. Your confidence in both our gear and service is what drives us to keep delivering. Thanks again for choosing Black Arch—we’ve got your back anytime.

As brevity as a guide. Buy this holster and upgrade the belt clips. You can’t go wrong.
Appreciate the recommendation—and the tip! The upgraded clips definitely add another layer of confidence, and we’re glad the holster’s been a win overall. Thanks for the support!

Super comfortable and versatile holster. I have three of these on varying degrees of pistol sizes and everyone of them is comfortable to carry IWB. Keep it up, ordering a fourth soon.
Thank you for the continued trust—that means a lot to us! It’s awesome to hear the comfort and versatility are consistent across your setups. We’ll keep doing our part, and we’ll be ready when it’s time for number four!
