Blackhawk Holster A.R.C.

This is an exceptional inexpensive solution. It's rapidly become my EDC holster. When you carry everyday you have a drawer full of holsters. This one is my choice everytime for my S&W J frame. Very comfortable, very easy to conceal. Very good retantion and not too thick.

Being a lefty I liked that the holster was ambi aside from the retention screw being slightly obscured( this being a set it and forget it item) it’s not a problem running left handed. The versatility is also a huge pro as it seems to work in multiple positions. The plastic feels like quality soft touch auto interior plastic which was the only worry I had about it not handling it in person before buying. TLDR: if you need a cheap holster this is a fantastic option feels quality for a very affordable price.

Solid, sturdy, versatile..... But no so comfortable. I am used to hybrid holsters though. Leather or nylon backing, kydex mold where this holster is molded only. Maybe in time I can adjust. Still for the money, good purchase.

Have fallen away from this revolver IWB. Clip is unreliable and flimsy.. into the drawer of bad experience it went. Update 01/09/19; stumbled upon this holster in the box of misfit toys. Reconfigured the clip with drill and a dreml tool to accept a pull the dot belt loop I had. That was the ticket it needed. Nice thin, comfortable holster. Plan to wear it most days now for the immediate future. Stay Safe

Best J Frame Holster for the Money. It locks in well. The height is adjustable (which is important for a small handle revolver). The cant is also settable. The only negative is a question mark on how long it will last with daily use. It is light but seems solid.

Been wearing the holster for a few weeks now and I don't have any complaints. Comfortable to wear, conceals nicely, and holds the revolver snug enough to keep from falling out upside down but easy enough to pull out smoothly once you get get the right tension.

This is a great hoster! Built really well and the rounded edges don't dig in like some kydex. I carry at appendix or 4oclock at it works great for either. S&W 642 .38. issue with the screws, clips, or quality. I can only imagine the people having issues are severely incompetent.

I have two of these Blackhawk holsters, both for J frames, a Smith and a Charter. There are plenty of cheap nylon fit-all bag holsters. Mostly garbage from wear, stitching, too loose or too tight. I have leather, more expensive, have to break in, Something molded or with a retention strap is even more. I don't have to worry about sweat damp leather or tanning chemicals affecting the gun finish in storage. I like kydex for the way most are built to "click" in. I worry about the hard plastic wearing the finish on my revolvers. These holsters click in like kydex. There's an adjustment screw. I like the soft molded thermoplastic. I think it's less likely to wear the gun finish. My kydex holsters have better clips. The soft J clip works well. Neither have broken. Easy to take off and on. Seems less durable. It's screwed on. If it breaks it can be replaced with something else like an Ulti-Clip. It's a good, lightweight little holster. I'll buy another.
