Phlster
4.8
(6)
"Enigma is my go to when I’m in the office. Invisible with a tucked in shirt."

"Phlster is the only way if you ask me."
"Enigma is taking over my rotation slowly but surely."
"Love my enigmas."
"Enigma’s biggest pro is that is completely separate from clothing, so you can set it higher or lower than your belt line. It conceals better than a belt holster because the faceplate is thinner than belt clips and creates a smoother profile to limit printing."
