Learn the Enigma
First Setup and Adjustment
In this section we will go over getting your Enigma setup for daily use. If your Enigma requires assembly, navigate to the assembly instructions for your specific Enigma model below.
Before You Start
Before putting your Enigma on you will want to locate your body’s natural concealment sweet spot.
Peaks and Valleys
You can do this by observing your body’s natural landscape, and identifying your valleys. Place your Enigma in a valley, and keep it off of your peaks.
Sweet Spot
It’s important to begin with finding your sweet spot before moving on. Your Sweet Spot is the foundation of concealment success and comfort.

Leg leash
Think of the leg leash like a seatbelt in a car. Most of the time it’s passive and unnecessary, but it’s absolutely crucial in an accident. The leg leash helps keep the holster from riding up when you draw and ensures your gun is always where it should be.
Your Enigma came with two leg leash options. Refer to our detailed leg leash guide to learn how to adjust your leash of choice.
Troubleshooting
Your belt is too loose
If you can move your Enigma from side to side on your body then your belt is too loose. Make sure your belt is tight enough that the Enigma cannot move from side to side.
Your gun isn’t in your Sweet Spot
Revisit your concealment sweet spot. Make sure your gun is placed in a natural valley. Hint: most body types will find a valley off to either side of their navel.
Expecting that there won’t be a customization period
A holster is a daily wear item, and functions much like a prosthetic. It is normal to go through an adjustment period as you dial things in.
