Enigma Express
Ready to wear. Ready to carry.
The complete beltless system, pre-assembled with a holster. Open the box and start learning.
The Express arrives fully assembled with a Skeleton (pistol) or City Special (revolver) holster. It works only with those two. Want a different holster? Choose the Enigma OS instead.
Ready to wear
Arrives pre-assembled. No sourcing parts, no building from scratch.
Beltless
The system carries its own structure. Wear whatever you want.
Appendix carry
Designed for the front of the torso, between 10 and 2:30.
Who it's for
People who want a complete, ready-to-go setup, with no belt required.
People who wear varied clothing and need concealment that stays consistent, on a supported firearm.
How it works
Your body is the foundation, not your pants.
Most holsters clip to your waistband, so your pants do the work. The Enigma moves the support structure onto your body, separate from your clothing.
What changes
Your pants are no longer the anchor. You place the gun where it conceals best on your body, and it stays put when you move, sit, or drive.
What stays the same
A secure Kydex holster gives you crisp retention and trigger protection, with a consistent, repeatable draw.
What's included
A complete system, in the box.
Faceplate / chassis
Thin, flexible plate that holds the holster close to the body. Textured for consistent access.
Kydex holster
Skeleton (pistols) or City Special (revolvers), for crisp retention and a clean draw.
System belt
Soft, low-profile 1.5" non-stretch belt. Fits up to 46" (64" with the Sport Belt).
Leg leash
Keeps the holster from riding up on the draw. Two options included, fits thighs up to 36".
Fidlock buckle
One-hand magnetic on and off. An optional Reduced Size Buckle is available.
eMod inserts
Two angled, interchangeable inserts that fine-tune grip rotation.

Getting started
Assembled, but not yet fitted.
The Express is ready to wear, but small adjustments make a big difference. Plan a short dial-in over your first few wears.
Your first steps
- Read the safety information. This is critical. Do it first.
- Watch the Quick Start. How to put it on and make initial adjustments.
- Set the leg leash. No tighter than a pair of briefs.
- Test: stand, sit, walk. Record yourself moving to check concealment.
Concealment
Concealment is a skill.
The Enigma gives you the tools. A few core principles get you there faster, with less trial and error. They apply to every body type.
Find your sweet spot
Your body has peaks and valleys. Place the gun in a valley, off your peaks, where fabric naturally drapes.
Grip rotation & tuck
The grip is what prints. Rotating it toward your body and tucking it in is the key to staying hidden.
