Blackhawk A.R.C. IWB Holster - Urban Gray, Ambidextrous, Fits Glock 48

The Blackhawk A.R.C. IWB holster is a purpose-built inside-the-waistband carry solution for shooters who refuse to compromise between comfort and accessibility. Sized specifically for the Glock 48, this ambidextrous holster delivers the appendix-carry versatility its name promises—A.R.C. stands for Appendix Reversible Carry—making it equally at home worn strong-side or weak-side, left hand or right. Whether you're breaking in a new daily carry setup or refining your EDC draw, the A.R.C. gives you the flexibility to find what works best for your body and routine.

Built from injection-molded polymer, the A.R.C. strikes that rare balance between supple enough to disappear under a shirt and durable enough to handle thousands of draws without wear. The construction breathes better than rigid kydex in all-day wear, yet retains its shape and lock integrity through your entire rotation. Two included belt clips let you dial in both cant and ride height—crucial for appendix comfort—and they accommodate belts from 1.5" to 1.75" wide. Passive retention is user-adjustable via a detent screw, so you control how much resistance you feel on the draw.

If you're running a rear-mounted red dot on your Glock 48, the A.R.C. is designed to work with it. Made in the USA, this holster is engineered by Blackhawk's team with the realities of modern carry in mind. Urban Gray colorway keeps things subdued when concealment matters.
