Last updated November 2026 · By Nick Hall, appendix carrier who tracks holster launches and fit lists for USA Gun Shop readers
Quick take: PHLster has replaced its Pro appendix holster with the ProV2, which swaps formed Kydex for an injection-molded shell with a ribbed, rounded body side. It costs $115 with DCC clips in the box, and launches in three fits covering the popular 9mm Glocks and the SIG P365 Fuse and X Macro.
- What it is: An injection-molded IWB holster built around PHLster’s patent-pending ComfortScape surface, about 10% slimmer than the original Pro.
- Price: $115 for the holster with a pair of DCC Mod4 clips, or $170 preassembled on an Enigma OS Standard.
- Where: Direct from phlsterholsters.com, where the ProV2 took over the Pro’s product page on November 12, 2026.
- Why it matters: The ProV2 drops the Pro’s built-in wedge and soft loops, and the Walther PDP and standard P365 fits are not on the launch list.
Most holster updates are a new color or one more pistol on the fit list. This one is different. PHLster changed what the holster is made of, and that let it reshape the side that actually touches you.

What PHLster Changed on the ProV2
PHLster put the ProV2 on its site on the evening of November 12, 2026, and posted a launch video titled The ALL NEW Pro V2 is HERE to its YouTube channel the same night. It lives on the same product page the original Pro used, so the Pro is gone and the ProV2 is what you get.
The headline change is the material. The original Pro was Kydex, formed to each pistol. The ProV2 uses what PHLster calls an injection-molded plastic blend, which it says is stronger and more durable than Kydex while keeping a crisp, snappy draw.
Molding is what makes the rest possible. The body side carries PHLster’s patent-pending ComfortScape surface: segmented ribs with channels between them so sweat can escape and air can move. A gap-filler piece closes the space in front of the trigger guard, so every surface that touches you is rounded. PHLster’s own line for it is “ProV2 is gun-shaped on the inside, and you-shaped on the outside.”
And it’s slimmer. PHLster puts the ProV2 at about 10% slimmer than the original Pro, and it drops the Pro’s molded wedge. “ProV2 has no distinct built-in wedge,” the FAQ says. Instead, the whole exterior is shaped to roll the grip in toward your body, and you can still stick on a WedgeRx foam wedge if you want more push.
Price, Clips and the $170 Enigma Option
The holster-only ProV2 is $115, and that now includes a pair of DCC Mod4 clips for a 1.5-inch belt. You also get the ModWing claw with short and tall inserts, plus a mirror-image filler piece so a left-handed shooter can swap all the hardware over.
For context, the original Pro listed at $88 in mid-2026 with pull-the-dot soft loops, and DCC clips were an add-on. PHLster says “ProV2 costs less than the original Pro/DCC package.” The catch is that soft loops are out completely, because the ProV2 is not compatible with them.
The second option is the ProV2 preassembled on PHLster’s Enigma OS Standard beltless chassis for $170, ordered right or left hand. That setup is appendix only, comes with the EMOD installed on the ModWing, and skips the DCC clips. It will not work with the Enigma Express, which takes the Skeleton holster only.
Retention is fixed, with a tactile click when the gun seats and no adjustment screw. PHLster backs it with a lifetime warranty and 30-day returns.
Every PHLster ProV2 Fit at Launch
There are three fits. The Glock 19/17/26/34/45/47 holster also covers the 19X and 49, and Gen 1 to Gen 4 .40 and .357 SIG models in matching sizes. The Glock 48/43X/43 holster covers the MOS versions. The P365 Fuse/X Macro holster takes the SIG P365 Fuse, Fuse Comp, X Macro, X Macro Comp and X Macro Tacops, with or without a manual safety.
Length depends on the gun. The G17 version is G17-length, the G48 version runs about half an inch past the pistol, and the Fuse/X Macro version is 0.3 inches longer than the Fuse. The open, rounded muzzle end takes threaded barrels and compensators, and the holster clears slide-mounted red dots and suppressor-height sights. Weapon lights are a no.
PHLster is blunt about the exclusions: “If your gun is not listed, it is not compatible.” That rules out the P365-380, the P320, any SIG with a metal frame including the AXG and AXG Legion, Glock-pattern clones like the PSA Dagger and Shadow Systems frames, and Gen 5 and Gen 6 .40 and .357 Glocks.
But the bigger gap is two guns the old Pro used to fit. The original Pro came in a SIG P365/P365X/P365XL cut and a Walther PDP cut, and neither one is on the ProV2 launch list. If you carry a standard P365 or a PDP, check our SIG P365 models explained guide to confirm which frame you own, then hang on to the holster you have.
Why the Long Muzzle Is the Point
If you have carried appendix with any belly at all, you know how it goes. The grip tips out and prints, and the muzzle digs in when you sit. That’s the problem the Pro line was built for, and the ProV2 keeps the same answer: a holster deliberately longer and wider than the muzzle.
PHLster explains it this way: “Like the keel on a boat, the extra length helps balance top-heavy short-muzzle pistols,” which is why a Glock 48 rides in a holster half an inch longer than the gun, and why PHLster says that extra length makes a short pistol more comfortable and easier to conceal when a belly pushes the grip out. If you’re newer to it, start with our appendix carry guide.
The tradeoff is footprint below the belt. PHLster itself steers people in tight pants or leggings to the Skeleton, which has no added muzzle length, and that’s honest advice.
For Glock 19 owners, the ProV2 now goes up against the picks in our best Glock 19 holsters roundup, at a price that includes the clips most people were buying anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PHLster ProV2?
The ProV2 is PHLster's contoured inside-the-waistband holster for appendix, strong-side or behind-the-hip carry. It replaces the original Kydex Pro with an injection-molded plastic blend, adds PHLster's patent-pending ComfortScape ribbed body-side surface, and is about 10% slimmer than the Pro. It went on sale November 12, 2026.
How much does the PHLster ProV2 cost?
PHLster lists the holster-only ProV2 at $115, which includes a pair of DCC Mod4 clips for a 1.5-inch belt. The ProV2 preassembled on an Enigma OS Standard is $170, and that version does not include the DCC clips.
Which guns does the PHLster ProV2 fit?
At launch the ProV2 comes in three fits: Glock 19/17/26/34/45/47 (which also covers the 19X and 49), Glock 48/43X/43 including MOS models, and SIG P365 Fuse/X Macro, which covers the Fuse, Fuse Comp, X Macro, X Macro Comp and X Macro Tacops with or without a manual safety. PHLster says a gun that is not listed is not compatible.
Does the PHLster ProV2 fit a standard SIG P365 or Walther PDP?
No. The ProV2 launch fits do not include the standard P365, P365X, P365XL or the Walther PDP, which the original Pro offered. The P365-380, P320 and metal-frame SIGs such as the AXG Legion are listed as not compatible.
Does the PHLster ProV2 work with a red dot or a weapon light?
It works with slide-mounted red dots and suppressor-height sights, and the open muzzle end takes threaded barrels and compensators. It is not compatible with weapon lights or lasers.
Does the ProV2 have a built-in wedge like the original Pro?
No. PHLster says the ProV2 has no distinct built-in wedge. Its whole exterior is shaped to rotate the grip toward your body, and you can add a WedgeRx foam wedge if you want more adjustment.
Can the PHLster ProV2 be used with the Enigma?
Yes, with the Enigma OS Standard. PHLster sells the ProV2 preassembled on the Enigma OS Standard for $170, right or left hand, for appendix carry only. It is not compatible with the Enigma Express, which uses the Skeleton holster.
Is the PHLster ProV2 ambidextrous, and is retention adjustable?
The holster-only ProV2 is ambidextrous: you swap all the hardware to the other side and use the included mirror-image filler piece. Retention is fixed, with a tactile click when the gun seats and no adjustment screw.
