What holster is the cutie patootie using?
She's using the PHLster Enigma, which is a high performance concealment system that allows you to carry invisibly in almost any clothing, without needing a belt.
- How does that holster work?
- The Enigma uses a kydex holster attached to a high tech faceplate, on its own inner belt with a magnetic locking buckle.
- How does she draw?
- With the Enigma, your waistband isn't an obstacle - it's just another garment to clear.
- Isn't that uncomfortable?
- I've fallen asleep in mine. Comfort is a skill, and it's pretty easy to learn.
- Are you for real? People actually wear these things?
- Yup. Thousands of them, from all walks of life.

The PHLster Enigma is a rugged, fight-tested holster system for carrying your firearm without the need for a belt. With an unparalleled level of adjustment and customization, you can fine tune every aspect of your concealment, allowing you to carry your gun safely and invisibly on any body type, in almost any clothing.
PERFORMANCE TESTED
Life comes at you fast. Whether you're fighting for your life against a violent attacker, or just wrestling around with your toddlers before dinner, you need to know your gun will stay securely on your body through any activity.
The Enigma has been thoroughly performance tested. The inner belt keeps your gun anchored securely around your waist, and the leg leash keeps the holster from riding up when you draw.
HOW IT WORKS
With its informed design and rugged performance testing, the Enigma is unlike any other beltless gun holster on the market. From jiu jitsu to marathon running to parkour, the Enigma moves with you and ensures your gun stays in a secure, consistent, repeatable spot for a fast draw every time. Explore the design features that make the Enigma unique.
MATERIALS
The Enigma's faceplate is made from a polymer blend that combines toughness and flexibility. It conforms to the body, yet stays stiff enough to activate the holster's wing for good concealment mechanics. Slimmer than any belt clip or holster attachment, the Enigma faceplate allows for zero signature carry under your clothing.
CUSTOMIZATION
Almost every part of the Enigma is adjustable and customizable. That's why the Enigma works for so many different body types and life activities. You can switch it up and make it your own.
-
Buckle - swaps from right to left side. This accommodates different body types, or extra gear on your belt. It also has two position adjustments that help control optic rotation, or help shorten the overall footprint of the holster.
-
Leg leash - wear two different ways depending on body type. Swap out the fabric for your favorite webbing. Or ditch the leg leash entirely and use a DCC clip instead.
-
Belt - change up the belt webbing in minutes, with no tools required. Or switch to the optional Sport Belt, which adds a comfortable, wide, stretchy back panel - with pockets.

Just make sure your holster meets all the requirements in the Fit Guide, and you're good to go. (Note that the Enigma OS is NOT for guns with lights or lasers -for that, you'll need the Light Bearing Enigma OS below.)

Light Bearing Enigma Express - holster included
The Light Bearing Enigma Express is for large, duty-sized guns equipped with a Surefire X300 or Streamlight TLR1 weapon-mounted light. While the holster fits a variety of guns, only those two lights are supported. It will not fit any other model of light. (If you have a different light, see the Light Bearing OS below.)
Light Bearing Enigma OS - holster NOT included
The Light Bearing Enigma OS is for guns equipped with a weapon-mounted light or laser. You must provide your own compatible holster.
