Blackhawk 417549UG Standard ARC IWB Holster - Ambidextrous, Comfortable, Concealed Carry
- Type:
- Inside-The-Waistband
The Blackhawk 417549UG Standard ARC IWB Holster is a fully ambidextrous inside-the-waistband carry solution designed for shooters who value both comfort and versatility in everyday concealed carry. Built from injection-molded polymer, this holster delivers a soft touch against your body without sacrificing durability—it's the kind of rig you can wear all day without thinking about it. Whether you're right-handed or left-handed, the ARC (Appendix Reversible Carry) design lets you carry either way, making it an ideal choice for shooters who switch hands or want one holster to work across a household of different shooters.
The 417549UG comes with two belt clips and allows you to adjust both cant and ride height, so you can dial in the carry position that feels natural to you. The retention detent is user-adjustable via screw, giving you control over how firmly the holster grips your gun—tight enough for security, smooth enough for a reliable draw. It's compatible with Ruger LC9 and LC380 pistols and accommodates belts between 1.5" and 1.75" wide. The holster also works with rear-mounted red dots, so if you've upgraded your sights, there's no need to swap holsters. Made in the USA, this is the kind of no-nonsense carry gear that works as hard as you do.
If you pocket-carry or appendix-carry, run concealed carry in urban or rural settings, or simply want a dependable IWB holster that doesn't force you into one carry style, the Blackhawk ARC is worth a serious look. It's the kind of tool that disappears into your routine and just works.
