There are three key components to appendix carry concealment, and they all work together to produce the desired result: getting enough grip tuck, grip rotation and finding your concealment sweet spot. To get good concealment and reduce printing, it’s important to start with finding your concealment sweet spot. This article is part of our Basic […]
When I said that on a livestream several weeks ago, I knew it sounded crazy enough to require a much more straightforward explanation than I gave at the time. If you’re reading this, you probably already have some idea of how different our products are, and how different our approach is.

Bottom line up front: Our Floodlight holsters are the only holsters compatible with the Light Bearing Enigma Express.

For the Light […]
Yes, you can use the Shield EZ with the PHLster Enigma system. But to avoid disappointment, read these tips first.
There are a few major differences between the Enigma OS – Light Bearing, and the new Enigma Express Light Bearing. Whether or not you decide to upgrade is a personal decision, and depends on your needs. Generally speaking, if you’re happy with your current setup, there’s no need to upgrade.

Learn how to wear, adjust, and fine-tune your Light Bearing Enigma Express.
Start by watching the Quick Start video. Adjust your shock cord, then your retention screws. Because the Floodlight2 is a “universal” fit holster that accommodates a variety of guns, it requires a specific reholstering technique for best results. DO NOT attempt to reholster by fishing the muzzle of your gun into the top of the holster.
How to assemble a Tenicor holster with the Light Bearing PHLster Enigma. Note: Tenicor holsters can be used with the Light Bearing Enigma only. When you assemble the holster onto the faceplate, you will use some of the hardware that comes with the Tenicor holster, as described per model below. If your holster has the Tenicor Camming Bar, leave that in place. You will not remove it for Enigma assembly.
*If you’re carrying a longer-muzzled gun or a revolver, adding extra holster length may not be necessary for you, but for short semiautomatic guns, it’s often helpful.
Guns with short muzzles can be top-heavy and difficult to conceal comfortably. To solve this, some holsters have extra length added to the muzzle end. Like the keel on a boat, the extra muzzle length helps balance the holster, making it more comfortable and easier to conceal. This is especially true if you have a bit of a belly, which tends to push the grip out more and make the muzzle dig in.
Note that while extra muzzle length reduces grip printing, it can increase muzzle printing, which can be a concern with lower carry positions and tight fitting pants such as leggings or yoga pants.
