The

Protos Heritage™

The backer of the Protos Heritage holster incorporates a non-permeable stiffening layer in its core. This unique feature serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents sweat from reaching your firearm, ensuring its longevity and performance. Secondly, it prevents the backer from losing its shape over time due to stretching, maintaining a consistent fit and feel for years to come.

Adjustable cant and ride height

Added clip mounting holes for extra ride height and canting options.

Optic Cut

Nearly all Black Arch holsters are optic cut. (Non optic holsters will state NON-OPTIC)

3/4 Shell

Our patented 3/4 Hybrid shell gives our Protos Heritage holsters all the benefits of a rigid holster with the comfort of a hybrid.

Breathable, full leather, and American made.

Additional Clip options

The

Protos Heritage™

With the Protos Heritage, customization is key. The holster offers adjustable retention, ride height, and cant, allowing you to tailor the holster to your preferred carry style and individual needs. Whether you prefer a higher or lower ride, or a slight forward or backward cant, this holster has got you covered.

Best Hybrid on the market

Very similar to the Protos M, with a simpler backer design. I own both, and probably have a slight preference to the Heritage, but they are both fantastic and absolutely the best hybrids on the market. Anytime I’m looking at buying a new gun, I come here to check if there is a Protos holster for it.

Awesome holster very comfortable great retention easy access and decently priced

My first holster for my first carry gun. Spent a lot of time and research and can't remove how I landed on this company. Criminally underrated as the holster is fantastic. Comfortability of leather with the security of kydex. I did go ahead and purchase the metal clips to upgrade, other than that it's fantastic. Very customizable to move around and play around where it best fits you. I bought it to carry a hellcat pro for reference. Definitely recommend.

This is my 3rd BlackArch holster. I find all of them to be very high quality and extremely functional. We do training at a well respected firearms training academy and plan to use these holsters at our next class. We have full confidence that these holsters will work perfectly for our training.

The Holster and customer service is top tier in my book. only company i will use for holsters going forward!
