OWB Protos-M
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.
OWB Protos-M
Each Protos-M Kydex shell and leather backer is custom designed for your particular handgun. This ensures proper coverage of handgun without increasing its size.
Optic Cut
Most Protos-M holsters are optic cut. (Non optic holsters will state NON-OPTIC)
Customization is key
Customize your belt loop size, holster color and what make and model it is for.
Modular
Same shell different backers. Our patented 3/4 hybrid shell comes with multiple backer options. Select from three different backers, dual clip, single clip or outside the waistband. You can also purchase the backers separately from our accessories page to switch between multiple backers.

Let customers speak for us
This holster was exactly what my friend wanted and it fit beautifully for his firearm. Customer service was great! Thank you!
I’ve had a T-Rex sidecar which did not work for me at all. The Entrada has been much better. Very well put together holster.
Great for switching frequently between clothes, don't need a belt, but if you do, it is more sturdy for a better draw.
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.
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.
I don’t review things often, good or bad. But this holster is worth my time. It is easily the most comfortable holster I have worn in my 10 years of carrying concealed. I’ve always heard people talk about “forgetting they are wearing their gun”. Usually that is met with an eye-roll from me. With the Protos-M holster, I’m now that guy. I can easily wear it all day long, and if it weren’t for the aggressive stippling of the gun grip, I would forget it was on.
Thank You Black Arch. Well Done.
Excellent, just excellent. I can tell this is a high quality holster, and can’t wait to wear this.
One of the best customer service I’ve ever dealt with fast replies to my questions . Holster fits my gun perfectly you can hear and feel it snap into place will definitely be getting more Holsters in the future .
This was my first Concealed Carry holster and I like it a lot. It holds my firearm tightly and the design is great for a 4 o’clock carry position. Would highly recommend.
Dual Clip Protos-M has been my favorite holster for years. I own several. Saved a few bucks by getting the blem item. Works great with my G48.
It's great, by far the beast IWB holster I have. The only thing I wish it had is a wedge.
All of the holster I have ordered from Black Arch have been great.
It fits great and doesn’t dig into my side
