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.

I just purchased the OWB Protos-M holster for my new Glock 43X and it arrived a couple of days ago. I wore it to the range today and suffice it to say it met all of my expectations. Smooth leather against my waste and a solid kydex holster that provides adequate retention and trigger protection. It was so comfortable after the first couple of hours I forgot I was wearing it. Great value for the price. I would highly recommend this OWB holster. Thanks Black Arch for offering such a fine product. I’m lucky to have come across your website.

I have been wearing Black Arch IWB holsters for years. The quality of this OWB holster is just as good as my IWB holsters. I haven’t bothered to look anywhere else for years.

I've bought just about every owb holster and this by far is the best one yet. Very comfortable and well made. %100 percent advise to get this holster if you're looking.
