Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster fit the Ruger LC9s or LC9s Pro?
The BLACKHAWK A.R.C. IWB holster is specifically designed and fitted for the Ruger LC9 and LC380. While the LC9s shares a very similar frame, fitment can vary slightly due to differences in the trigger guard profile. We recommend verifying compatibility with BLACKHAWK directly or contacting our team at Goodland Guns before purchasing if you own an LC9s or LC9s Pro variant.
Can I use this holster for strong-side or cross-draw carry, or is it only for appendix carry?
While the A.R.C. is optimized for appendix carry, its ambidextrous design and adjustable cant clips give you flexibility to experiment with other IWB carry positions. By repositioning the belt clips and adjusting cant angle, many users successfully adapt it for strong-side hip carry as well, making it a genuinely versatile everyday carry solution.
How do I adjust the retention on this holster?
The A.R.C. IWB holster features an adjustable retention detent system, which typically involves a small set screw near the trigger guard area of the holster. Using the appropriate tool (usually a small hex key), you can tighten or loosen the detent to increase or decrease the resistance you feel when drawing or re-holstering your Ruger LC9 or LC380. Always test retention adjustments in a safe environment before carrying.
