About PHLster

Education has always
been the mission.

Since 2010, we've been figuring out how to conceal and carry better, and teaching everyone what we learn.

PHLster Enigma holster and pistol.

2010

It started on YouTube.

We began by sharing how to make DIY Kydex holsters, back when that information wasn't widely available. Not everyone wanted to build their own, so commissions piled up, and we started standardizing our designs.

Trying bold new things, continually, turned PHLster from a normal holster company into a concealment technology company.

We'd rather lead
than cover every gun.

To bring new concepts to market quickly and often, we don't chase the widest gun-fit list. That's the cost of staying on the cutting edge. What you'll find instead are the most advanced concealment solutions for the most popular, reliable carry pistols. And for everything else, universal options like the Floodlight2 and Enigma OS are as uncompromising and adaptable as we can make them.
