Give Your Holster a Chance

Daily Snaps | August 26, 2021

It’s easy to put on a holster and immediately say to yourself, “Nope, this isn’t for me.”

I actually had that exact thought about the Enigma when I first got it. And know it’s in my holster rotation as my go-to whenever I’m wearing a skirt or if my pants have an elastic waistband.

Instead of immediately tossing a new holster aside because it didn’t magically fit, give it a chance. And give yourself the time and patience to see how the holster will work for your carry setup and your lifestyle.

Play around with the holster and see if there are any adjustments you can make to it. Maybe you need to tweak your carry position by sliding your setup over to the left or right a little bit. Sometimes small changes like that can make a difference.

Take the time to make the adjustments, carry around your house, and play dress up in your closet so you can really get a practical sense of the holster and if it’s something you’ll be able to use.

With the Enigma there are many places to make adjustments so it definitely took me some time to get to where I felt it was comfortable...comfortable as a holster can be.

And remember, comfort level is different for everyone, especially for us women. Each of our bodies are shaped differently, we have different clothing styles for different occasions, and then add to the mix that once a month we are bloated and have a couple extra pounds we are carrying. So carry and practice during these times and occasions.

Finding your sweet spot with a holster and how carrying is going to fit your lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight.
