Glock 19 Holsters

You have probably hustled around and bought yourself one of the most famous shotguns in America, the Glock 19. After hitting the range a couple of time, you have gotten pretty comfortable handling it and are now ready to carry around. Now you have to identify a suitable holster from thousands of options out here. For this reason, we have developed a guide that will help you in your buying process.

PHLster Enigma

Just as the word suggests, PHLster is really an enigma. From observation, this holster does not look comfortable because of its size. However, PHLster has a way of fitting in as it is embodied in its own system. That means you do not have to wear a rigid belt in order to support the gun’s weight, or the magazine.

Some users have managed to sit by their desks all day long, do multiple three-hour drives or just walk around doing normal errands comfortably with a PHLster holster on. While wearing it with a traditional pant outfit, PHLster is more comfortable than most AIWB holsters by far. Additionally, you can comfortably carry this holster around while wearing sweatpants, yoga pants and almost any high-waisted pants.

According to the manufacturer, the Enigma design is based on the “Keel Principle,” meaning PHLster holster has an extra length in the muzzle, giving similar support that a keel gives to a boat. The additional material ensures the holster is stable whenever you push or pull your pistol. Since you can always trust that the Enigna will not be moved, you can comfortably dress with your gun instead of dressing around it. 

It is important to note that you will have to familiarize yourself with the Enigma before transitioning to seriously using it. This is because, unlike most holsters, you cannot just clip it to your belt and go.

The most conspicuous FDO Pyre’s feature is its concealment wing. The appearance is a nice, low-profile wing that appears just to hug the edge of the holster. The wing works very well with your pants, reducing any printing. This Glock 19 concealment holster works with most gun models and light.
