Enigma Express: What is it?

The Enigma is a chassis system that is worn separate from your pants, and goes with any type of clothing. The Enigma Express comes fully assembled with one of our Skeleton holsters, and is available only for the specific guns listed on its product page. (Note: If your gun is not on the fit list, you cannot use the Enigma Express, and will need to use the Enigma OS instead.)

Though it comes to you assembled, you will still need to make custom belt and leg leash adjustments.

Do you need extra holster length?*

*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.
