Selecting an EDC holster is a very personal choice.
Besides preferring ones made in America, my second biggest preference for holsters is having choices.
From carry position, color, style, to light bearing options, the more offered the better.
Black Arch makes a wide range of holsters for Springfield Armory pistols like the Hellcat Pro. Shown above are five variations. From clockwise top is an Entrada, three color variations of the Rev-Con,and the Protos-M.
If thats the case, I can find exactly what I want and need.
Personally, I am a fan of Kydex holsters or other forms of plastic material.
You get a very nice retention system with a lot of durability.
There are three main holster lines in the Black Arch catalog: Rev-Con, Entrada (shown),and Protos-M.

A company holster company that recently caught my attention is Black Arch Holsters.
Another aspect I value about a holster manufacture is how quickly they embrace new pistols on the market.
Black Arch happened to be one of the first to the market with theirHellcat Pro holsters.
Inside-the-waistband holsters are often the best rigs for maximum concealment. Black Arch offers a number of features that make them worth learning about, such as is the case with this Entrada.
Black Arch makes three main types of holsters: the Entrada, Protos-M, and Rev-Con.
The Entrada holster is your sidecar-bang out holster made for AIWB (appendix inside the waistband) carry.
The Entrada has two clips, a wing and a flexible attachment for an extra mag.
Black Arch makes what might be the best hybrid holster on the market with its Protos-M, as the shell fully covers and wraps around the pistol’s trigger guard.
The Entrada is compatible with most optics as well as suppressor height sights.
You may be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable holster than this.
It featuresadjustable cantand adjustable retention.
Pistols with flashlights are no problem for Black Arch. A weaponlight can make a big difference in your low light defense, and Black Arch makes it possible to carry.
And a threaded barrel pass-through is also incorporated.
They also offer a wing attachment for the Rev-Con.
For years, Ive been carrying at the 3:30 position because I never found AIWB to be comfortable.
The issue with me being a 6, 160-lb.
AIWB also allows me to retain more awareness and control over my EDC.
The Entrada is sturdy yet flexible where it needs to be.
If youd ask me my favorite color, its, of course, going to be the Multicam Black.
I am a sucker for MCB.
Black Arch also offers a neat-looking belt for EDC, but I dont have any experience with it yet.
Maybe Ill do a review on one down the road?
Do yourself a favor if you are rocking a Hellcat Pro.
