1. A perforating gun system, comprising:
a cylindrical outer housing;
a charge carrier assembly receivable in the outer housing, wherein the charge carrier assembly comprises a charge carrier defining an interior configured to at least partially receive one or more shaped charges, a first endplate coupled to a first end of the charge carrier, and a second endplate coupled to a second end of the charge carrier; and
a detonator holder incorporated into the first endplate of the charge carrier assembly and comprising a pair of opposed longitudinal ends, a first passage extending along a first axis and configured to receive a detonating cord, and a second passage extending parallel to, but laterally offset from, the first passage, wherein the second passage is configured to receive a detonator whereby the detonator is at least partially received in the interior of the charge carrier and is configured to detonate the one or more shaped charges in response to receiving a signal.
