Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of concealed carry holster setups?

The two primary concealed carry holster setups are Inside the Waistband (IWB) and Outside the Waistband (OWB). IWB holsters are worn inside the pants for maximum concealment, while OWB holsters are worn on the belt and can still be concealed with appropriate clothing, often offering more comfort and easier access.

How do holster wings or claws improve concealed carry?

Holster wings or claws, like the Tolster Sidekick, are accessories that attach to the holster and press against the belt. They help to pull the grip of the firearm closer to the body, significantly reducing printing and improving concealment, especially for IWB holsters.

Can you conceal carry with an Outside the Waistband (OWB) holster?

Yes, you can conceal carry with an OWB holster, especially when wearing looser clothing like hoodies or sweatshirts. Contoured OWB holsters are designed to keep the firearm close to the body, making them suitable for concealed carry in various situations.

What is the Filster Enigma system for concealed carry?

The Filster Enigma is a specialized concealed carry system that eliminates the need for a belt. It uses a band around the waist and a leg leash, allowing you to carry a firearm comfortably with leggings, skirts, dresses, or pants without belt loops, offering maximum clothing flexibility.
