Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the Tenicor Vela Lux and Certum Lux4 holsters?

Which Tenicor holster is better for appendix carry?

The Tenicor Vela Lux is generally recommended for dedicated appendix carriers due to its integrated body contour, which is specifically designed to improve concealment and comfort in that position. However, the Certum Lux4 can also be adapted for appendix carry with the addition of custom wedges.
