Blackhawk A.R.C. IWB Holster Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

this flexible plastic holster is designed for inside the waistband carry. it is adjustable for angle of presentation, L/R hand draw, and degree of retention. the adjustments withstand physical activity and remain tight. worn over a period of days none of the adjustments failed or became loose. the belt loops/hooks, while flexible, do not fail to maintain a secure grip under all kinds of activity. (vehicle entry/exit; standing; sitting; crouching; bending) with retention screw adjusted very tight, the pistol (glock17) did
not fall out , nor was the holster damaged by this extra tightening. this was my main concern from the beginning.
speed of draw was acceptable. re-holstering was positive , with a quiet click providing tactile and audible feedback. the short term evaluation is that this holster is functional for light duty when only a small investment is preferred.

I use it for my Kahr K9, MK9, and T9, and my Kimber Super Carry Pro, and my Springfield Armory RO Champion. I did have to open up the front opening to accommodate the longer barrels. I wish they made it for 1911 Commander size so I could have left well enough alone. Very comfortable. Easy to re-holster. It's my EDC option now.

A solid, basic IWB appendix holster. Decently comfortable considering the weapon size. My only complaint is that the belt clip feels just a little to cheap. It has yet to fail me, though. Overall, I'd recommend this holster to anyone who wants to give appendix carry a try without breaking the bank.

Has 2 height settings and approx. 130 degree adjustable cant and draw tension can be adjusted. More comfortable then I thought.

Could be a bit better if had lock washer but staying put for now and for the price good value. Oh and it's ambidextrous in all in one SKU

I think this is a great IWB holster at a good price. I like that you can wear on either side. Practiced quite a bit with it with no problems. Only possible thing would be if it snagged clothing returning gun to holster, but that didn't happen to me.

It works better than all the kydex holsters I've used and fits my S&W M-640 in a way that makes it more concealable than my Ruger LCP II.
If One is made to fit the Ruger LCP II I will buy it.
It is comfortable where Kydex is not.

Purchased to try appendix carry. The A.R.C. is comfortable to wear and a great price especially for "trying out" appendix carry. Quality is really good considering the lower price.

I was a bit put off by the polymer and the arrangement of the clip but since carrying a J frame M-640 daily IWB I am impressed with it.
Comfortable in a way the Kydex I use for the Ruger LCP II is not it doesn't dig into my hip but fter warming up to body temperature actually feels softer.
I plan on buying another one for the Colt Gov 1911A1.

The holster is fine. The one bolt attachment point to the belt hook seems flimsy. Barely any threads actually hold, with the length of the bolt provided.

Couldn't ask for a better product! Ordered on tactical gear because it was the best price and shipping was very fast.
