The Enigma is a chassis that is worn on your body—not clipped to your pants like a traditional inside the waistband holster. This allows the user to place the system in their body’s natural concealment sweet spot, regardless of where their pants waistband sits.
What’s different
Your pants are no longer the foundation. The system is worn directly on your body.
What stays the same
A secure holster provides retention and trigger protection.
Why it matters
This innovative design allows the user to fine tune their comfort, concealment, access and even clothing style.

Enigma Hardware
The Enigma is a ready-made concealment solution. It already has all the hardware you need in order to get started. Our educational resources provide the rest.
System belt
A non-stretch seatbelt-like material keeps the system secure and low profile. We offer an optional Sport Belt accessory for those needing stretch and lower back support.
Magnetic buckle
The magnetic Fidlock buckle has a locking system that makes it secure while wearing, yet easily removed.
Leg leash
The leg leash is made of a soft material, and a custom buckle with quick-adjust features. The Enigma comes with a single point AND a two point leash.
Faceplate
The faceplate is carefully designed to apply just the right kind of pressure to the holster body. It has a gentle, anti-slip texture to keep clothing from impeding your draw.
Access and draw
Because the Enigma is not attached to the clothing, it allows the user to place the gun at different ride heights. This means that the user can place their gun entirely above the waistband for extremely quick access, or below the waistband for nearly undetectable concealment while still maintaining repeatable access.

Common misconceptions
“It’s just a belt under my clothes.”
While using a regular belt under clothing may be more simple, it reaches its performance limits quickly. Those limitations include extra bulk, poor balance, unreliable retention to the body, and less ability to fine-tune how the gun sits on the body. Watch our full video on this topic:
“It looks uncomfortable.”
Comfort and concealment are the result of correct placement and adjustment—which is why the next page focuses on setup and adjustment.
