Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of the Enigma holster system?

The Enigma holster's main advantage is its ability to provide deep concealment for firearms without requiring a traditional belt, making it ideal for appendix carry and situations where belt-based holsters are impractical.

How does the Enigma holster ensure retention and stability without a belt?

It uses a midsection band that wraps around the body and a leg leash that attaches to the holster and the wearer's thigh, working together to keep the holster securely in place.

Is the Enigma holster comfortable for extended wear?

Comfort depends on proper fit. The band should be snug but not overtightened, as it lacks stretch. Wearing an undershirt can add a layer of comfort, though it may increase heat in warmer climates.

What are the safety considerations when reholstering with the Enigma?

Always visually confirm the holster is clear. A slight pelvic thrust can create a clear path. If any resistance is felt during reholstering, stop immediately, remove the firearm, and reassess the situation to prevent accidental discharge.
