The Blackhawk A.R.C. (Appendix Reversible Carry) IWB holster is a no-nonsense carry solution built for shooters who want comfort without sacrificing accessibility. Designed to work equally well for right- and left-hand draw, this inside-the-waistband holster fits Glock 19/23/32/45 pistols and suits anyone looking for a dependable daily-carry or range holster that plays well with standard belt widths.

Comfort matters on an IWB rig, especially if you're wearing it eight-plus hours. The A.R.C. uses injection-molded polymer construction—tough enough to hold its shape and handle daily use, soft enough that it won't dig into your ribs or leave marks. Unlike rigid kydex that can feel like wearing a roof shingle, the material here strikes a balance between durability and wearability. The truly ambidextrous design means you're not buying two different holsters; swap sides based on your carry preference or dominant hand without changing gear.

Retention and positioning are tunable. An adjustable passive retention detent lets you dial in how much resistance you want when drawing, and the two included belt clips give you options for cant and ride height—so you can carry appendix-style, midline, or further back depending on your body and wardrobe. The clips accommodate belts from 1.5 to 1.75 inches, which covers most quality carry belts. The holster also supports rear-mounted red dots, useful if you're running a slide-mounted optic on your Glock.

Built in the USA, the A.R.C. delivers the kind of straightforward engineering that appeals to shooters who care more about function than flash. If you're in the market for a versatile IWB rig that works for both strong and weak side carry, this is worth your attention.
