If you are using a third-party adjustable retention holster with your Enigma, yes — this kit is required. It converts your adjustable retention holster to fixed retention, which is necessary for compatibility with the Enigma OS Standard.
Most non-PHLster holsters use soft rubber washers to adjust retention. These washers prevent the holster from locking up tightly to the Enigma faceplate, causing wiggle, loosening, and movement. The Fixed Retention Kit replaces those rubber washers with rigid spacers, giving you a secure, tight connection.
You need this kit if:
- Your holster has rubber washers between the shell halves for adjusting retention
- Your holster wiggles or rotates on the Enigma faceplate
- You’re using any third-party adjustable retention holster
You do NOT need this kit if:
- You’re using a PHLster holster (Skeleton, Pro, City Special)
- Your holster already uses fixed retention
How it works:
Multiple spacers are included to dial in the perfect feel. Thicker spacers provide coarse adjustment from 0.125″ to 0.3125″ in 1/16″ increments, while thinner spacers let you fine-tune from there. Simply measure your current retention setting between the holster halves, select the thick spacers that get close, and add thin spacers as needed.
Kit includes: four 0.125″ spacers, two 0.1875″ spacers, and six 0.015″ spacers — compatible with most holsters using 0.250″ rubber spacers and PHLster holsters using 0.1875″ EPDM spacers.
