Selecting an inside-the-waistband holster for daily carry requires balancing comfort, retention, and adaptability. Whether you spend time at the range or prioritize concealed carry for personal defense, a low-profile, adjustable holster can make the difference between a confident draw and a fumbled one.

BLACKHAWK A.R.C. is built for that balance. The A.R.C. Appendix Reversible Carry inside the waistband holster is molded from injection molded polymer for comfort and contouring to the body, with a passive retention detent and adjustment screw to tune draw resistance. It includes two cant and ride-height adjustment belt clips that fit 1.5″ to 1.75″ belts and is configured to allow use with rear-mounted red dots. Made in USA and offered at a street price of $19.99, this is a pragmatic option for shooters who want proven function without an inflated cost.

The injection molded polymer shell resists wear and maintains consistent retention under repeated draws. The passive retention detent with adjustment screw lets you set a secure hold for training or daily carry; tighten for added security during high-movement activities, loosen for a faster presentation at the range. Its reversible design accommodates strong-side or appendix carry, increasing versatility for different body types and carry preferences.

Design and Fit

The dual cant and ride-height adjustment belt clips allow precise positioning on belts from 1.5″ to 1.75″, letting you tune concealment and draw angle without tools beyond the included hardware. Because the A.R.C. accommodates rear-mounted red dots, it supports modern pistol optics that many carry pistols now use. The low-profile polymer body reduces printing under clothing and holds shape for consistent reholstering.

Practical Carry Notes

For appendix carry, the molded shell rides close to the torso and the adjustable clips let you lower or rotate the pistol for comfort during sitting or moving. When using red-dot-equipped pistols, confirm your slide/optic footprint clears the inside lip of the holster before purchase; the A.R.C. is explicitly designed to allow many rear-mounted dots, increasing its future-proof utility.
