There are three key components to getting your desired level of concealment and that is getting
enough grip tuck, slide tuck, and placing your gun in your concealment sweet spot.
Make sure to watch the prerequisite to this video so that you can get a better idea for what each of
those things mean and the best way to apply them to you. In this specific video we're going to be
addressing our concealment sweet spot by bringing in multiple different body types and discussing
where their peaks and valleys lie, and the best place to put their gun to achieve their desired
level of concealment. We've chosen to use the enigma during these demonstrations because
the enigma allows us to place the gun completely divorced from our waistband and that gives us the
freedom we need to place the gun in each person's concealment sweet spot. Every body type has peaks
and valleys, but they all differ in shape and proportions. We are going to use this idea of
peaks and valleys to help each model discover their concealment sweet spot. The goal is to keep
the gun off of our natural peaks and to instead nestle them into a valley. Please note that
placing the gun too low can be uncomfortable and will likely cause the gun to ride up as it makes
contact with your leg. Note also that placing it too high can inhibit your drawing pattern.
This model has a rounded peak on his lower torso with straight valleys on either side. Here you can
see that a gun carried at 12 o'clock is pushed outward dramatically, this caused the model
significant discomfort as the muzzle dug into his groin and the slide side protrudes and prints
badly. Here we move the gun closer to one o'clock to take it off his peak, this improves concealment
somewhat but the muzzle is still uncomfortable. Here you can see him use the poke and check method
to identify that he needs more grip rotation. We added the large emod wing insert to increase
grip rotation and added a wedge to the slide side of the holster to improve slide tuck and grip
rotation. The model was much more comfortable with the wedge installed because the muzzle no longer
put pressure on his groin and his concealment is now excellent. This model has a gently rounded
torso that peaks at 12 o'clock with proportionally long valleys on the side of her abdomen. With the
gun placed at 12 o'clock the gun tips outward as she experienced grip and optic printing we moved
the gun off her peak into a valley on the side of her torso and increased the ride height. We also
switched the holster to a p365xl model to prevent the slide from tipping outward. This model has a
generally flat center torso with short angles off his center line to his hip bones. The gun placed
on his center line tips out slightly and the grip prints. We moved the gun off of his center and
installed the large emod wing insert and installed the slide side wedge to greatly reduce printing.
This model has a generally flat center torso that more gently curves around her hip bones.
We placed the gun in the center of her stomach as this was her ideal location.
If the gun had been placed on the side the optic and the magazine would have protruded and printed.
A wedge was not necessary with her build and would have increased her below the belt printing.
This model has a continuously curvy torso with a peak at the center of his abdomen. When placed at
12 o'clock the gun is pushed out by his stomach. Note that the belt is also pulling the muzzle into
his groin. Misadjusted belts can make concealment much more difficult. We moved the holster to a
valley on the side of his torso added the large emod insert and added a wedge. The gun is tucked
tightly into his body and conceals very well in this position. This model's torso has peaks at 10
o'clock and 2 o'clock with a valley in between. With the gun at 12 o'clock the slide tipped out
slightly and the grip was not adequately rotated. We moved the gun to a valley at 11 o'clock and
that allowed the slide and grip to tuck into her torso and provide ideal concealment. We hope this
video will guide you as you go through the process of discovering your own concealment sweet spot
but remember that concealing a gun is a lot like fitting a prosthetic,
it might take some time and effort but anyone can conceal appropriately with the right gun,
holster, gear choices, modifications, and sweet spot, and if you're looking for more resources
