Can You Use Multiple Holsters on One Enigma?

Can you change holsters on your Enigma? Yes, holsters can be changed on all Enigma models, HOWEVER, only certain holsters are compatible. It's important to use the correct holster, as using the wrong one can lead to breakage, severe injury, or death. Check the info below to see what holsters are compatible with your Enigma model.
Enigma Express and Light Bearing Express
We designed the Enigma Express to work with our Skeleton holsters only – click here to learn why.
The Enigma Express Light Bearing is designed to work only with the PHLster Floodlight2 holster.
Enigma OS – Standard and Light Bearing
The Standard and Light Bearing Enigma OS faceplates were designed with extra adjustability to accommodate different size guns and other manufacturers’ holster shells. However, make sure to choose the right Enigma model for your needs, as they are NOT interchangeable.
While the Standard and Light Bearing Enigmas can technically be used with multiple holsters, we still don’t recommend frequent switching. We designed the Enigma concept, as a whole, for more or less permanent installation. Any screws that don’t come with thread locker should have user-applied thread locker for final installation after you’ve made your adjustments (different guns will require different adjustments). Repeated disassembly substantially increases maintenance requirements. It’s like switching scopes or optics every time you go to the range. It’s better for the hardware, and for your sanity, to get your Enigma really dialed in and optimized once, and then left more or less alone.
If you’re set on frequent holster switching on your Standard or Light Bearing Enigma, make sure to have plenty of spare hardware kits handy and memorize the instructions.
Also, note that the Standard and Light Bearing Enigma models are not interchangeable, so you cannot change between a light bearing holster and a non-light bearing holster on the same Enigma.
