This summer, RCS brought back their legendary Phantom modular holster for a limited run. But like a visit from an old friend and the warmth of summer, all good things come to an end. This weekend is the LAST CHANCE to order the iconic Phantom and Phantom LC holsters before the order books are closed indefinitely.

Back in July, RCS revived the RCS Phantom – the pioneering modular, polymer, pancake-style holster that set the gold standard in concealment holsters. This was the first time the whole line has been available for order since 2015.  In the weeks since then, they have released nearly 40 different model-fits of Phantom and Phantom LC holsters.  Many of the model-fits had never been available in a Phantom prior to this event.

Introduced by RCS in 2006 and famously featured in the Magpul Dynamics DVD series, the Phantom holds a special place in the hearts of concealed-carry enthusiasts. Those who remember its initial release likely also remember the anticipation, with lead times reaching 16-18 weeks at the peak. The Phantom’s revolutionary design has served as an inspiration for countless holster companies, cementing its place as the blueprint for the modern concealed-carry holster.

For the last 10 weeks, RCS has gradually announced new model fits.  Notable Phantom models include:

Ft. Lauderdale, FL – October 26, 2023 – FALCO® Holsters, a globally renowned name in bespoke leather holsters, proudly introduces new concealed carry solutions. Elevating craftsmanship to new heights, the company unveils cutting-edge leather inside-the-waistband (IWB) and shoulder holsters featuring enhanced retention screw customization, an integrated sight rail, plus a luxuriously soft leather underlay protecting the gun finish, adding comfort for gun owners, and increasing the overall sturdiness of the holsters.

Katarína Zacharová, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FALCO Holsters, commented, “We pride ourselves in listening to what our customers want, so we tasked our engineers with creating new IWB and shoulder holster models to incorporate more adjustable retention screws. Next, we incorporated an integrated sight rail with a layer of soft leather on the inside of the holster. Together, these features offer added protection from abrasions during unholstering and reholstering. The suede layer makes for a quieter, smoother draw and delivers even more stability to these holsters.”

Enhanced Retention Screw Customization

Most holsters have one screw near the trigger guard, but with multiple strategically placed screws, users are empowered to precisely tailor the fit and retention strength of their holsters, ensuring a secure and personalized carrying experience. “The additional screw is closer to the barrel, letting you choose exactly where to apply the retention pressure on your gun,” said Zacharová.

Integrated Sight Rail

Beyond safeguarding pistol and revolver sights and the holster’s interior from wear, the integrated sight rail channel ensures the holster stays open even without the firearm. “Incorporating these features significantly extends the holster’s lifespan,” Zacharová added.

Soft Leather Underlay

By incorporating the soft leather underlay mounted over the integrated sight rail channel on the inside of the holster, firearm finishes and sights are more protected from daily wear. “The result is a holster that not only secures and shields your firearm from wear but encourages a better drawing experience,” she added. “Plus, the life of the holster is lengthened because there is less stress on the interior.”

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 18, 2023 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has expanded its Stache IWB Holster line to accommodate two more popular concealed carry pistols – the Springfield Hellcat Pro and the SIG P365 X-Macro.

Introduced in 2021, the Stache holster is a slim, lightweight polymer IWB holster designed to let the user choose between left-hand or right-hand carry. The Stache holster also allows the wearer to customize ride height, angle and how tightly the holster tucks the pistol against the user’s body.

“The Stache has proven to be very popular because of its modularity and comfortable design,” said Justin Hoffman, product manager at Blackhawk. “It’s exciting to give both professionals and responsibly armed citizens who carry Hellcat Pros and P365 X-Macros on and off-duty, the same versatile and dependable concealment option so many others have trusted in harm’s way. We look forward to expanding the Stache line to even more models of carry pistols soon.”

Stache holsters work well with popular Blackhawk accessories like the N.A.C.H.O. Belly Band, which allows the user to easily conceal a holstered pistol along with spare magazines, a flashlight, wallet or similar items without requiring a belt or normal pants. The holster is also compatible with the Stache R.A.H.C., which is designed to help conceal a holstered pistol while jogging or otherwise not wearing a gun belt.

The base model Stache for the Springfield Hellcat Pro and SIG P365 X-Macro are available now, with Premium Stache holsters for both pistols coming soon. The Premium Stache holsters combine the versatile Stache holster with a Stache Magazine carrier, making it easy and simple to always have an extra magazine carried next to the pistol.

All Stache holsters come standard with 1.5” IWB belt clips included. Larger 1.75” IWB clips are available separately. To learn more, visit blackhawk.com
