PHLster Enigma Instructions

Posted by Sarah on Mar 3rd 2025

Which PHLster Enigma model do you have?

Choose your PHLster Enigma model to find instructions for how to assemble it and how to adjust it. You can also find helpful info about how to wear your Enigma, how to adjust the leg leash, leg leash alternatives, how to get comfortable with it, how to install optional accessories, tips and tricks for success, troubleshooting, and much more.

The faceplate is the thin, flexible piece of gray material that will go over the holster shell.

Look at the shape of your Enigma faceplate to determine which Enigma model you have, or check your receipt.
