Dual Clip Protos-M® 2.0 for Springfield Echelon 4.0"

Most comfy holster I’ve ever used. Doesn’t get hot after a while. Works great for all season attire.

I love this holster for my HK VP9CC. It’s super comfortable and I have been wearing it daily for the last couple weeks. The backing feels great with and without an undershirt. I’m happy they made a left handed version, not all companies do. Shipping time was fast, I got my holster in the mail within a week after placing my order. Very pleased with this purchase, I will probably buy one for my PDP in the near future.

I wear at the 0230 position, Very comfortable . I carry a Compensated Shadow Systems XR920 . The leather at the top of the holster makes a big difference in comfort while sitting or driving . I can wear all day and not feel my right side printed and sore . I would buy again .

I guess I'm a bit of a fan boy now given that I have 5 different Black Arch holsters and the belt. However, all holsters have be a one and done purchase. They never need "fixing" or have any issues which is why I keep coming back for every new pistol I buy. This one is for my Smith and Wesson M&P9 M2.0 full size with the factory threaded barrel. So long as Black Arch keeps making holsters I'll come back for every new pistol I buy. They are the most comfortable holster I've ever used, post break in lol, and high quality.

I didn’t think I liked 4 o’clock carry…then I hit this bad boy! It’s so danged comfortable…I could almost sleep wearing it!

It is always very difficult to make a decision on a holster when they are not cheap and everybody has their unique style. Furthermore when you can’t test it before you buy it makes it even more difficult. After a few hours of searching online one holster manufacturer after another somehow I discovered Black arch holster company and I’m glad that I did. After reading numerous reviews with high marks and good photos of what appeared to be quality stitching nice leather and professionally molded shells that had adjustable retention and a 30 day return option I ordered mine. I read review after review of other people saying just get it and you won’t regret it. So after two weeks now of wearing mine while on duty in civilian clothes, out with the family, taking walks, I have nothing but good things to say about its comfort conceal ability and craftsmanship. I’m not a small guy 265 pounds so I’m not chiseled and never wanted to appendix carry, and the Protos M 2.0 has checked all the boxes. I had an old alien gear modular holster set up and it was very uncomfortable so I was concerned a little bit with a similar footprint which the Protos M as it’s a little similar in design concept. But this holster is comfortable! Totally surprised by how comfortable it is when it’s in inside my waistband and everybody who’s ever carried inside the waistband knows how uncomfortable a weapon can be which usually results in you not carrying your gun off duty or with your family because it’s just inconvenient you leave it in your car or at home. Being in law-enforcement and being out with my family these days and now having this holster makes it where I don’t have a problem carrying every day whether in shorts pants or wherever and actually forget that I have a gun on the side of my hip that is a micro compact pistol with 18 rounds! Great job Black arch holster keep it up… I am already looking at buying an outside the waist band holster in the future from these guys!!! I have no doubt after seeing the quality stitching of the leather used on this that’ll last me many many years to come. I only do reviews after I’ve used the product long enough to have an accurate opinion of the item and I really like this holster. Nothing but “Quality craftsmanship!” Bought it on the 250th anniversary sale so thank you Black Arch!

The most comfortable holster I've ever owned and I have a drawer full of ones that pale in comparison. It is the epitomy of the peferct holster 10/10. I'd give an 11/10 if there were light bearing options.

I couldn't be more happier with this holster. Quality is there and so is fit and finish. Did I mention how comfortable it is to wear!

Great holster, most times I can barely tell that it’s there. I’d like to be able to have a little more cant to it, but I’ll get use to that.

So as I said I did, I ordered this Protos-m for a newly acquired Glock 19 gen 6, with an optic. It arrived today and is perfect! Fits so nicely and wears like the one I ordered for a H&K CC9. No regrets and thinnest profile most comfortable top notch leather that doesn’t take years to break in and digs into you. Trigger is completely covered and is shown in pics. So glad I took the plunge. You do get what you pay for. No discounts or incentives for writing this review, it’s honest.

I've had lots of guns, and many many many holsters. This is truly the most comfortable I've had, I know it's there, but not in a typical CCW way; you know it's there but doesn't dig into you. I bought another Black Arch for a S&W Bodyguard Comp and that was good too, but not as good as this level. They didn't have this specific one for that model but it is good too, just not this good.

This is a H&K CC9, with an optic. The differences between that one, and this one, is the cooler backing, and a different level of protection about the trigger. This has a special piece of kydex that covers up the trigger guard on both the leather and the pants side, to prevent an accidental discharge upon reholstering, or just carrying. It was something I was concerned about when purchasing, based on the one I had with the bodyguard. Rest assured, this is very well designed and made and that should put your mind at ease.

But the holster carries your firearm close to your body, so you aren't in a situation whereas you are exposing the fact you are concealed carrying. And the trigger area is completely surrounded by kydex and gives you a satisfying little click upon holstering.

You'll want to consider this for sure, it isn't just some cheap kydex shell with clips, the leather is soft and flexible. It isn't a hard slab of leather that takes forever to become comfortable. It helps me so much to be able to throw it on and be able to safely carry immediately upon arrival.

How good is it? Right after this arrived, I ordered one for a Glock 19 gen 6 with an optic that was recently acquired. If Black Arch has a holster for a firearm purchased and will carry, it will be my first pick of holsters. Yes, that good.

Thank you Black Arch. It is a perfect fit for the Tisas 1911 and is extremely comfortable. The dual clip gives great support for the weight with loaded magazine. The clips were easy to adjust to fit my body shape (large). No printing, no pinching, easy access, and good retention. Still getting used to reholstering. Thank you again Black Arch! Appreciate your team in sending out quickly.

Perfect fit for Sig 365 xmacro, accommodates threaded barrel w/ protector. Just as perfect as my original 365 holster. Will be ordering the single clip version for Glock 45.6

Great quality trigger guard completely covered very comfortable!

I wish there was a was to add more cant not just from the clips but being able to rotate the kydex itself. Other than that, I love this holster.

5 stars for excellent quality and fit. The holster of the month option is nice as well I got that Hexcam and it looks great! Fits Shadow 2 Carry like a glove. Ok ya I have a few holsters from other companies that can say that.... The reason why they're in the drawer is I live in the tropics. Leather is comfortable, unless you're sweating. There is a marked difference in heat/sweat comfort with this one. Well done from Hawaii!!

I also have a fanny pack (sometimes its REALLY hot) and after getting this, buying a BA holster with the velcro back is a no brainer
