Phlster Enigma V2

New from PHLster is the Enigma V2, an updated version of their breakout concealed carry holster. The Enigma's faceplate is made from a polymer blend that combines toughness and flexibility. It conforms to the body yet stays stiff enough to activate the holster's wing for improved concealment. Slimmer than any belt clip or holster attachment, the Enigma faceplate allows for zero signature carry under your clothing.

Enigma V2 Features:

  • Stronger, more durable faceplate with a textured surface that helps grip clothes.
  • Two new leg leash options for ultimate customization and comfort.
  • Easy, one-touch leg leash adjustments with our new patented quick-adjust buckles.
  • Softer webbing and skin-friendly materials.
  • Thin, curved faceplate lowers the gun without compromising grip access.
  • Locking magnetic buckle
  • Variable stiffness flexible faceplate for extreme grip tuck.
  • Anti-slip texture on the faceplate.

The new version of the Enigma has a more durable faceplate material, a more comfortable belt and leg leash webbing and two different leg leash options which both have new quick-adjust leg leash buckles.

The new leg leash options are still the same low-profile, ultra-slim design, but with added convenience and comfort. The buckles also snap together a bit tighter to prevent unintentional opening. You can now adjust the drop height and thigh circumference separately on the single point leash, making it easy to change your gun's ride height while keeping the thigh circumference the same. The two-point leg leash has a simplified version of the same buckle. Simply pull the free end of the webbing to tighten, and the tension bar locks down to hold your adjustment. No more fussing with triglides or knots, as the patented new buckles make fitting your leg leash a much easier task.

MSRP for the Enigma Express holster begins at $154, and more information on the Enigma system as well as other products from PHLster is available at phlsterholsters.com.
