Blackhawk 417565UG Standard ARC IWB Holster - Ultimate Concealment & Comfort

The Blackhawk 417565UG Standard ARC IWB holster brings serious versatility to appendix carry without sacrificing the comfort you need for all-day concealed wear. Built from injection-molded polymer, this inside-the-waistband holster strikes the balance between durability and the softness your body demands during long shifts or extended time on your feet. Whether you're right- or left-handed, the fully ambidextrous design means one holster works for either side—no need to buy two.

Retention is handled by a passive detent system with an adjustment screw, so you dial in the security level that feels right to you. The two included belt clips accommodate 1.5" to 1.75" belts and are fully adjustable for both cant and ride height, letting you customize carry angle and position until you find your sweet spot. That flexibility is what makes the ARC (Appendix Reversible Carry) design stand out: it adapts to your body and your preferences, not the other way around.

This holster is cut to support rear-mounted red dot optics, so if you've upgraded your pistol's sighting system, you're covered. Made in the USA, the 417565UG is engineered for the Springfield XDS 3.3" and 4" platforms and delivers the kind of reliable, low-profile carry that makes concealed carry feel effortless day after day.
