Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best holster types for different firearm uses?

For competition, specialized holsters like Black Scorpion Gear offer speed. For everyday carry (EDC), consider options like Tier 1 Concealed or Vedder Holsters for comfort and concealment. Beltless systems like the Phlster Enigma are great for athletic wear, while budget Kydex holsters offer basic functionality.

How can I minimize firearm printing when concealed carrying?

To minimize printing, use holsters with features like a wing or claw (e.g., Inheritance Armory) that press the firearm closer to your body. Appendix carry holsters and flexible sidecar designs (Vedder) can also aid concealment.

What is the Phlster Enigma system?

The Phlster Enigma is a unique, beltless chassis system designed for concealed carry. It allows users to securely carry a firearm without needing traditional belt loops, making it ideal for use with leggings, athletic shorts, or dresses.

Are custom holsters worth the investment?

Custom holsters, like those from On Point Holsters, are often worth the investment if you have a heavily modified firearm with accessories (lights, optics, compensators). They ensure a precise fit and optimal retention for specialized setups.
