    Excellent holster!

    This holster is the most comfortable IWB holster I have ever used. It’s also the easiest to put on and take off that I’ve ever had, while still being very secure. My pistol draws and reholsters smoothly. Top notch build quality too.

    Buying holsters online, although a necessity is usually a roll of the dice. Like most I went online and read up and Black Arch was highly recommended. Being new to the CCW world, I ordered a few different ones that they offered for all three of my carry pistols. I texted and emailed for recommendations each time receiving a prompt response. I ended up buying the gradient hybrid and the dual clip Proto as my main holsters and a single clip Proto for one of my pistols. After wearing them for about a month doing various activities, the holsters have molded to my body and after a while you don’t even feel them there. Concealment is top-notch even when wearing snug athletic fit clothing. All of mine are attached with the upgraded DCC clips and I do use them in conjunction with an HC belt. Overall, I am extremely happy I was able to combine shipping, and the customer service was second to none. Craftsmanship is impeccable. Versatility of the holster is awesome. The fit and retainment is first class. My advice is to buy Black Arch, stop wasting time and money you’ll just be disappointed with everyone else.

    Wow—thank you for the incredible review and for trusting us across all your carry setups! We’re especially glad the comfort, concealment, and customer service stood out. It means a lot to hear the holsters have become second nature during daily wear. Welcome to the Black Arch family!

    Best Holster I’ve had yet!

    Highly recommended by a friend who has an older model but I use this for my 19 and 17 (sometimes). Bulkier than my others (mainly because of the cheater bar) but comfy and doesn’t pinch!

    Thanks for the 5-star review! We’re glad to hear the comfort and fit won you over—especially on both your 19 and 17. That concealment bar may add a bit of bulk, but it makes a big difference in keeping things tucked. Appreciate you trusting Black Arch—and shoutout to your friend for the solid recommendation!
