Frequently Asked Questions
Can this holster be used for appendix carry as well as strong-side carry?
Yes. The A.R.C. stands for Appendix Reversible Carry, and the holster is specifically designed to support both appendix (AIWB) and strong-side inside-the-waistband positions. The adjustable cant and ride height, combined with the ambidextrous belt clip configuration, allow you to fine-tune the holster's position and angle for whichever carry style suits you best.
Will this holster fit my Springfield XD Mod2 with a 3.3" barrel?
Yes. This BLACKHAWK A.R.C. holster is designed to fit the Springfield XD, Mod2, and XDM with barrel lengths ranging from 3" to 4.5", making it fully compatible with the 3.3" Mod2 variant. Always verify your specific model against the manufacturer's fit guide before purchasing to ensure the best fit and retention.
How do I adjust the retention on this holster?
The A.R.C. IWB holster features an adjustable retention detent system. Using a small screwdriver, you can tighten or loosen the detent screw to increase or decrease the amount of force required to draw your firearm. This allows you to customize the draw resistance to match your training level, activity, and personal comfort — from a lighter competition-style draw to a more secure everyday carry setting.
