Protos-M Dual Clip IWB Holster

The Protos-M Dual Clip IWB Holster from Black Arch Holsters is built for unmatched comfort and stability, delivering a carry experience that’s as secure as it is comfortable. Featuring a breathable, padded backer, this holster provides superior airflow and cushion, keeping you cool and comfortable even during long hours of wear.

At its core, the Protos-M’s 3/4 shell construction delivers full trigger guard coverage, adjustable retention, and rigid firearm protection while reducing unnecessary bulk. The dual-clip design distributes the weight of your firearm evenly across the backer, improving stability and reducing pressure points for all-day comfort.

For even greater versatility, the Protos-M shell is modular—allowing you to swap it seamlessly onto our Single Clip or OWB Protos-M backers, so you can adapt to your carry preferences without purchasing a completely new holster.

Key Features:

  • Breathable, Padded Backer: Features a cushioned, ventilated design that enhances airflow and comfort during extended wear.
  • Dual-Clip Design: Distributes weight evenly for maximum stability and reduced pressure points.
  • 3/4 Shell Design: Provides rigid protection for the trigger guard while minimizing bulk for enhanced comfort.
  • Comfort-Focused Fit: Ergonomic design with soft, absorbent padding for all-day carry in any weather.
  • Exceptional Concealability: Slim profile keeps your firearm discreet under light or fitted clothing.
  • Adjustable Cant & Ride Height: Choose from 9 different positions ranging from 0-15 degrees to achieve your ideal draw angle and carry depth.
  • Secure Retention: Precision-molded shell with adjustable retention ensures your firearm stays locked in place.
  • Smooth, Consistent Draw: Optimized for reliable, rapid access every time.
  • Modular Flexibility: Shell can be placed on Black Arch’s Single Clip or OWB Protos-M backers for versatile carry options.
  • Sweat Guard: Protects your firearm while preventing skin contact for enhanced comfort.

The Protos-M Dual Clip IWB Holster is the ultimate solution for those who prioritize comfort and stability in their everyday carry. The breathable, padded backer and dual-clip design work together to eliminate pressure points, improve airflow, and deliver all-day wearability—whether you’re braving summer heat or layering up in colder weather. Combine that with Black Arch’s modular 3/4 shell, and you get a holster that’s as adaptable as it is comfortable.

*Protos Shells are cross compatible with Dri-Matrix ™ and Dri-Matrix ™ 2.0 of the same make and model holster.

Game changer. Strong side comfort.

I love this holster. I have owned and not carried my full sized M&P for years. It is now fits where my shield used to.

Worth Every Penny

Easily the most comfortable holster I have ever worn. I have avoided IWB holsters for years, because I could not find a comfortable one, but that changed with the Protos M.

I'm happy with my purchase.

Best holster by far. Super comfortable, great retention, and looks fantastic. I only wish they had light bearing options for my PDP, P320, VP9 etc. I like these holsters so much, I've told friends and family about them.
