The BLACKHAWK A.R.C. (Appendix Reversible Carry) IWB holster for Glock 42 is purpose-built for operators and concealed carry practitioners who demand both comfort and adaptability in a single platform. The ambidextrous design eliminates the need for separate left- or right-hand models, making it an efficient choice for agencies, armories, and individual shooters who rotate carry positions or train across different body positions.
Core to the A.R.C.'s performance is its injection-molded polymer construction, engineered to balance retention security with the comfort required for all-day carry. The holster ships with two belt clips that accommodate 1.5" to 1.75" belt widths—the standard for duty and tactical rigs—and each clip features adjustable cant and ride height geometry. This modularity allows individual users to dial in the optimal draw angle and position relative to their body type and clothing configuration. The adjustable retention detent system ensures consistent weapon security without requiring custom fitting.
The Glock 42 is a thin, single-stack platform optimized for deep concealment and off-body carry in compact environments—aircraft crew, plainclothes investigation, or backup duty roles. The A.R.C.'s appendix-forward geometry naturally accommodates these shallow-print requirements while the reversible design allows for crossdraw positioning during seated operations or vehicle transitions. This holster works well for training environments where shooters need to frequently transition between concealed and exposed carry, or where standardized equipment across a team reduces inventory complexity.
BLACKHAWK's A.R.C. line is known for prioritizing comfort in sustained wear, which separates it from minimum-profile competitors. The polymer material resists sweat corrosion common to coastal environments and high-humidity regions. If you operate in concealment roles, need a training platform that covers multiple carry modes, or require ambidextrous capability without maintaining dual inventory, this holster delivers proven field reliability.
