I was thinking of the Goldberg tv show dad :)

You already could it's called the prison wallet

Donald Duck approved. 🤣

This comment is my spirit animal.

I think Stav did a great review.

That was even more of a first impression. Can't wait to see what else she does with it.

Did it to

🤣🤣😂😂 absolutely

I loathe belly bands and it is so TRUE, it is such an operation to go to the girlz room. I'm sold!

Like The Savvy Pup, my question is the same...how is it against bare skin? I’m in the hot, humid south and wearing another tanks or tee under your clothing isn’t gonna happen.

What about the leg strap and underwear?

I've heard (another review) that Mrs.Enigma wears a bandeau top/bra under the holster to avoid sweat/chafing, they're pretty stretchy for all sizes. I'm going to try that myself.

Thank you for your comment. I was going to ask about using the bathroom with this

It's a Dark Star Gear Orion. Very good holster!!

Hot pink for concealed carry? Lmfao no thanks

@@googlesucks3163 not sure how anybody would see your holster if youre effectively concealing

@@joshhill4903 white t shirt

@@googlesucks3163 if a pink holster would print through color then likely your (not skin tone) edc likely will aswell- different materials will have difference opacity.

This is on my list of upgrades. But I want a red dot first.

If I had to wear a business suit I would get a galco miami shoulder holster. No doubt about it 😂

Yep Tessah did a good job showing it!

I think people would be amazed how many medical folks carry firearms. A lot of EMS does. It's always kept super low key, because it's usually against policy and the general public probably wouldn't like the idea. But yeah, it definitely happens quite a bit. A lot of EMTs are moonlighting after their day jobs as correctional officers and cops and stuff. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of nurses, especially in the ER, are carrying too, but I don't have direct experience with that like I do with EMS (not that I'm admitting to having carried on shifts, myself). Patients can be dangerous, everyone's heard the stories, and many people want protection. It's better to get fired for violating a policy than losing your life.

​@@fakecubed I don't see why people would have anything against EMTs carrying, that just makes sense.

@@Chicky_Lumps It certainly doesn’t bother me. But it’s a perception thing and you have to remember that most EMS is working in fairly built up areas, cities and metro areas, where guns are unpopular to begin with. EMS aren’t supposed to be cops, and so the public may think they’re out of their lane. That’s why it’s generally against policy. Plus, EMS is supposed to avoid danger. An EMT or paramedic to turns into a patient himself ties up two EMS. They’re supposed to wait back and let the cops and fire fighters make the scene nice and safe for them before they come in and do medicine. EMS is not expendable. There may be the worry that if an EMT carries a gun on a shift, they may be overconfident or get themselves into a gunfight and get hurt, when they should be super cautious and avoid getting hurt at all costs. It’s nonsense of course. No matter how careful somebody is, there is still danger on the job, and an EMT or paramedic who can’t defend himself at all may end up dead instead of merely wounded, and there’s only a small fraction of the population who is willing and able to get through the training and serve the community. Of those who do get through it, the burn out rate is very high. It’s high stress, and you spend all your time meeting people on their worst day of their lives, and losing patients isn’t fun either. So I’m of the opinion that anyone who is willing to do the job should not eschew any safety gear for themselves, including firearms, and the public should just get the heck over it. Whatever it takes to keep EMS in the job and comfortable, that’s a net good. But anyway, departments are worried about liability and want to cover their butts so they generally have a policy against it. But many do ignore that policy.

Yah their price is ridiculous. I think this holster should be $90 max. It cost more than most sidecars that allow you to carry an extra magazine. If you buy their sport belt you're paying significantly close to $180

Why not just buy a adjustable belt and a iwb holster? Thats basically what it is??

​@rossauce12 this is much more concealable,and versatile

@@mmafanatic-tz5or I agree and the holster I decided to go with was the PHLste flood light. Cost 138 it was 99 but oh no it don't come with the clips which are another 38 bucks.

@@Riverrockphotos yah they need to bring their cost down. It's just too expensive. Spending over half of what I would on a decent gun.

Also, if a man is carrying with belts/clips going to the bathroom can expose the weapon and can also cause the pants to drop due to the weight of the weapon.

@@Swampthing401 I don't have any personal experience with belly bands. From reviews, a large number of them don't have proper holsters. I can use a proper kydex holster with the enigma, and it's super secure.

i know its a year later but they sell a clip system now that you can add to the holster on the outside portion of the enigma to help keep the pistol grip above the pants so the system does not drop below the belt line.

@@chrisboyd1408 dont know about you but when i pee i just unzip my zipper and handle business. there is no need to undo your pants to pee, unless you wear pant with no zipper

Those videos are super old school!

John taught me how to do kydex, in the spare bedroom of his philly Apt. On video. Cardboard shields on his sander!

man, your life must really suck if you need to carry a firearm in your house, more so if you need to conceal it.. no offence

@@gggromay its humor my man, no need to be so serious

@@gggromay So a stranger comes to your front door, and you don't have a camera or a peephole to see who it is, but you open the door anyway, and see the stranger pointing a gun at you. Or, you have a 2-3 story home with bedrooms upstairs, and while you are upstairs, a perp(s) breaks in to rob you (or worse). Yeah, maybe you have an alarm system or cameras, but many don't. Or, perhaps you unknowingly left a door unlocked during the day while you are in your home office working. Hmmm...more scenarios could happen while you seem safe at home with no gun on you. At the least, the gun, holstered, moves with you while moving about your home.

You're welcome!

Can you use it with shorts?

@@aviationdylan3353, you can use it with anything. Jeans, gym shorts, sweatpants, scrubs. Mine has completely replaced any belt and holster combo I used before.

@@jpabe9321 Perfecttt, I rarely wear pants, mostly athletic shorts. I was looking at the belly bands but they look cheap asf. While this is expensive, this seems perfect.

@@aviationdylan3353, the Enigma's a big step up over belly bands, the biggest advantage being that you're using an actual kydex holster with the Enigma. With belly bands, especially those cheap nylon or neoprene ones, you're gun can shift around while you carry and screw up your draw and presentation, and doesn't actually protect the trigger.

@@jpabe9321 exactly, what pistol do you carry with the Enigma? And how is the printing with shorts and a t-shirt.

It’s an advantage!

"The Humble Marksman" did a review on the CPX2 w/red dot. Highly recommended in his opinion. Check out his channel, good stuff. And a 14oz blaster with 10 rounds and a dot is *solid* edc!

@@AOMartialArts It's not solid. That firearm is noted for poor quality. Most ppl who talk about how great cheap guns are and their high quality haven't shot them enough. There are exceptions but SCCY firearms are well known for QC issues. And I say this as someone who has owned 3 at one time. Finally learned my lesson after selling off the last one.

@@procrastinator6902 I’m glad you made comment on SCCY. My first EDC was one but after I couldn’t adapt to the long trigger, I sold it. So glad I did too

It's super useful.

A real holster, and a real belt. The geometry of the faceplate allows the belt to orient your pistol in ways a belly band can't.

Meets the same need in a MUCH better way.

@activeselfprotectionextra Have you taken a look at the Crossbreed Modular Belly Band? I didn’t care for the idea of carrying with a belly band until I saw it then got it. It’s a kydex holster that velcros to the belly band. So far I’ve gone on runs, worked out with on and gone to church with it tucked underneath my dress shirt.

@@angelo_higherpurposetraining I believe that's the one belly band John said he's actually ok with in one of his videos Any issues with the band bunching? That's one problem I've had with belly bands due to the shape I'm in (round 😂)

@@ASPextra I've been mostly happy with my Smart Carry holster, but it has gotten loose and is starting to wear out, so I'm glad I just ordered this. Looks good.

Yeah that definitely depends on body shape with the leg leash. If you're wider in the hips than waist it'll ride up without something to keep it down. If not, no need!

Many thanks for updating this. I've been looking at this holster for a bit now. Seems to be one of the only holsters that allows you to dress normally and still have your gun

Haha!

The pappoose is awesome!

any updates for us?

I live in sweats. I think this is going to be perfect for me.

Have fun!

I prefer to have a layer under the gun for any holster, as I am not a big fan of the feel of a textured gun on my skin. So I would always wear an under-layer. Chonies and undershirt on, gun on, outer clothes on. But that's more my preference than a requirement.

@@ASPextra agreed

@@col.cottonhill6655, there are some mods you can use to make the belt and holster more comfortable without an undershirt. Some users have been using a Nike head wrap as a sleeve that goes over the belt with good results. Others use a bandeau bra around their torso under the holster. There's also the Papoose, a tweave liner that goes around the belt and holster, that's been really well received. There's definitely ways to make the Enigma more comfortable against your skin while you go out to kill fiddy men.

@@jpabe9321 don't forget to carry dental floss!

Check out the Phlster Concealment Workshop Facebook group. In there you’ll see John Ticker who created the “papoose” for the Enigma. He’s selling them in small batches but I believe he’s working with Phlster to get them made in larger quantities. I just received mine and it’s great. It’s basically a soft sleeve to go tightly around the whole thing so that nothing harsh it touching your skin.

It’s a great option! Glad to help!

The Enigma will mount to your existing Henry Holster.

Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful!

In scrubs it is literally ridiculously amazing.

@@ASPextra Thanks. I am a bit fluffy so it is VERY difficult to find a good rig.

If you need any help with it or have questions, check out the PHLster Concealment Workshop group on Facebook. Tons of helpful tips there!

Thanks, yep, I’m in it. :)

This. I’ve also been doing this for years, a quick way to strap while wearing sweatpants, gym shorts, etc. Same belt that you would use with pants; quick, cheap and easy solution.

I know rite, thank you! When I wear sweats or gym shorts, I just wrap a 10 buck web belt around my waist...and then spend the extra dough on coke and hookers, instead of an expensive enigma chastity belt.

You're welcome!

The BTO customer base is RABID when it comes to limited stock items like that!

For work I wear a polo shirt(tucked in/sales calls) at home I'm in sweats and jeans. The sweats is a j-frame and the pants are a subcompact. For work, it's a j frame in a crossbreed supertuck and honestly it's something I'm always adjusting. This looks right!

Great!!!

And now I'm still waiting for them to become available. Sad times! My sweat pants remain unused.

Correct. Those are high quality holsters so this is a good thing.

@@ASPextra I use the Enigma with Phlster Pro with my P365XL around the home in shorts and t-shirt! Its convenient for those instances though otherwise carry on my belt.

We have thousands more on the way this week!

They're making them like mad, so soon I know. Get on the email list.

@@PHLster Fantastic! I have put my e-mail on the waiting list and check for in stock every morning and evening! Hopefully I can get my order in when they are in stock! 👍

@@ASPextra thank you

I waited what felt like months for mine! Well worth the wait! It's amazing!

Yeah, and I can put a wedge on my DSG Orion too.

I would replace the belly band with an Enigma in a heartbeat.

Glad you think so!

It's a great solution.

Love it and stand by it. Wore it Saturday and worked wonderfully.

No, if anything gotten stronger. Fantastic system.

Excellent!

@@ASPextra I see that rash guard. How long have you been training? I love it. Been training since 2013.

Since 2006. But BJJ since 19.

The purpose built front plate makes a huge difference.

It’s good.

From what I've seen and heard from others who dress similarly for work, I think you'll really love how the Enigma pairs with your work attire. I'm not 100% positive, but I believe Tier 1 holsters use a 0.5 inch hole spacing on their proprietary wings. The Enigma is designed to work with 5/8" hole spacing like the mod wing, dark wing, raven claw. I'd contact Tier 1 and/or PHLster to be sure.

Chris! Great dude.
