Blackhawk A.R.C. IWB Urban Gray Polymer Belt Clip for S&W M&P Shield & Shield 2.0 - Ambidextrous

The Blackhawk A.R.C. IWB holster is built for shooters who carry daily and refuse to sacrifice comfort or accessibility. This ambidextrous inside-the-waistband holster works equally well for right- and left-hand draw, making it ideal for anyone who wants one versatile carry solution or a backup rig that works for both sides of the body. The injection-molded polymer construction strikes a balance between durability and comfort—tough enough for serious carry, soft enough that you'll actually wear it all day without complaint.

What sets the A.R.C. apart is its flexibility. Two included belt clips let you dial in both cant angle and ride height to match your body, your belt width, and your preference. The passive retention detent includes an adjustment screw, so you control how much friction the holster applies to your M&P Shield or Shield 2.0—tight enough to secure your gun, not so tight that a quick draw becomes a wrestle. The design also clears space for rear-mounted red dots, so if you've upgraded your Shield with modern sights, this holster won't fight you.

Made in the USA, the A.R.C. accommodates belts from 1.5 to 1.75 inches wide. Whether you're heading to the range, carrying daily, or building a defensive pistol setup, this is the kind of no-nonsense holster that earns its place in your gear rotation.
