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.

The Only IWB Holster You Will Ever Need

I in bought my first CC pistol in January of this year. From the very beginning i was determined to carry IWB. The problem was that no matter what holster I purchased, I could not find one that was comfortable to wear all day. I soon became the guy who has a draw full of them that promised comfort, and never delivered,
I tried 3 o’clock 5 o’clock, and every o’clock in between, and the result was the same. It felt like I was wearing a brick in my pants. What did I do? I gave up. I went to OWB, and boy, what a relief! Finally, comfort for all day!
Now I had a new problem. How do I effectively conceal OWB, especially in the summer time? It wasn’t easy. Now I had a drawer full of those. I began to question whether all of this worth the hassle. I seriously considered giving up the whole idea of CC altogether.
One night, Black Arch showed up on my social media feed. “Here we go again”, I thought, as I read about all day comfort and concealment. I decided that this would be the last one I would buy. If this doesn’t work, I’m out. I love my Hellcat Pro, but I was tired of endless circle. Regardless, I bought it.
Two weeks later, it showed up. I slipped this under my belt, and I could tell that my whole world had changed. Instant comfort. No pinching, stabbling, poking, nothing. I’ve never looked back. This is a long review with a simple message. This is the best holster on the market period, end of story. I can, and have literally worn this all day. Shorts, pants, long shirts, short shirts, it doesn’t matter. If you doubt me, I’ll be happy to send you pictures of all the other holsters I have to prove that I have literally tried everything.
Do not waste your time buying all of the other so called “comfortable” holsters on the market. If you are reading this, you know there are a ton of them out there. This is the only IWB holster you will ever need. It is the only IWB holster I will ever buy again. Simple, end of story.

Wow—thank you so much for sharing your story in detail! We’re thrilled to hear the Protos-M turned things around for you after trying so many other holsters. Comfort and concealment are exactly what we designed it for, and knowing it’s now your go-to means the world to us. We’re proud to have earned a spot in your EDC and grateful for your trust in Black Arch!
