The Dual Clip Protos-M® is numbered among the smallest dual clip hybrid holsters in the industry. Each holster is custom designed for your particular handgun, which reduces bulk and increases comfort. You will find that our adjustable retention and flared mouth ensure safe and quick access to your handgun. The IWB Protos-M® is compatible with our entire line of Protos-M® Backers, with a few simple screws you can move the shell from one backer to another, allowing your carry method to change as your needs change.
Each Protos-M® shell and Dri-Matrix ™ 2.0 backer is custom designed for your particular handgun. This ensures proper coverage of your handgun without increasing its size. Our leading competitor’s holster is over 53% larger than the Protos-M®.

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

NOT compatible with Glock 29 and 30 Gen 5.

Protos-M 2.0

Our flagship holster, the Protos-M, is the result of countless hours of design, prototyping and testing resulting in the best hybrid holster on the market today. Our patented ¾ hybrid shell gives the perfect blend of adjustable, repeatable and safe retention usually reserved for full Kydex holsters. With Kydex wrapping the trigger guard you never have to worry about the backer collapsing in on itself, making it safer than traditional hybrids.

This is the most comfortable holster I own. I even able to tuck dress shorts and make firearm completely invisible. The backing is soft and makes you forget you are carrying. I can't recommend it enough. I have owned similar offerings from other companies and Black Arch is hands down the most comfortable.

I can’t say enough good things about this holster. This is my 2nd one. Comfortable all day long in any situation. Fit, finish, and function are top notch! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've tried more than a few IWB holsters and found them all lacking until I bought a Black Arch Protos. This is hands down, the best IWB holster I've ever worn. I carry every day, all day. Comfortable, secure and protective, plus the construction quality is top-notch and well thought out.

Amazing

Super comfortable. My favorite hybrid holster that I've tried!

Honestly, this is the holster I've been looking for my entire carry life. I've tried to many over the years that have come close to what I'm looking for, but this just hits all the right features and comforts for me. Was referred to this site by someone at T-Rex when I asked them if they were planning to add the PX4 Compact to their holster line. Very happy that I've found this now. I hope y'all expand into more owb options down the road.
