G-Code Eclipse Holster
Rob PincusLike its namesake, the Eclipse Holster from G-Code Holsters enhances the wearer’s ability to carry concealed on the centerline (aka midline or appendix carry). Rob Pincus is carrying a Canik Prime pistol with extended magazine in an Eclipse holster, and the gun is not visible.
The G-Code Eclipse is a minimalist holster, and like many G-Code holsters, numerous options exist when ordering one, including clips, clip length, colors, materials, and finishes. Rob offers his advice on some points (tactical fuzz is a YES) but notes that each individual will have their personal preferences. Rob also has some tips for positioning and adjusting the Eclipse for deep concealment.
Rob has reviewed several other G-Code Holsters and gear here on PDN. Find them at the link.
Today we're gonna talk about the G-Code Eclipse holster. Now, the Eclipse holster obviously is a little bit of a play on words. Eclipse means to block something from view, make sure that you can't see it, and this holster doesn't necessarily block the gun from view, but it does absolutely enhance your ability to carry in a deep concealment way on your center line. Now, center line is defined as anywhere between the hips. G-Code refers to this as midline carry as well sometimes.
center line, midline, appendix carry for the right-handed. Left-handed, it's gonna be over here. Anywhere basically between 1:30, 2:00 o'clock and going over here to about 10:30, 10:00 o'clock, that's where center line carry is, and that's where the Eclipse holster helps make your carry pistol disappear. And you can see that I'm just wearing an untucked shirt here, nothing special, nothing especially blousy either. Pretty good fitting shirt, and I am completely concealing this Canik Prime carry pistol.
Now, I, I even put in the extended magazine. Now, of course, they do make larger magazines, larger base plates, but I wanted to go just one step beyond what we normally would have for the size of this gun just to make the point even more fervently that the Eclipse holster does its job. Let's go ahead and put the pistol down over here, and we'll take a look specifically at the holster. Now, this one happens to be gray Kydex with the black tactical fuzz. That's gonna make this a lot more comfortable, and it's gonna be less annoying, especially in a hot climate where you're carrying right up against your skin.
This is nice and smooth. It also does a lot to dissipate sweat from building up between you and the holster if you're in a hotter climate. There is a clip here that is adjustable. This one is a three-hole clip. They have variations of this clip, which has a negative angle designed to push the top of the gun back towards your body.
You've seen this on other holsters from G-Code as well. You can get different heights of the clip, and you can also get different adjustments from the Mojo device, this aluminum device that facilitates the connection between the clip and the holster itself. There's also the Super Mojo module that can be placed in here when you order it. Like all G-Code holsters, or at least almost all G-Code holsters, there are a plethora of options when you get ready to order this. So you can have different heights on your clip.
You can have fuzz or no fuzz. You can have different colors. You can even get the Multicam coating that they have on some of their holster options. You also get the Super Mojo or regular Mojo, and this comes in about a dozen, 15 different colors. You'll see that dropdown menu at the tacticalholsters.com website, where you can get your G-Codes custom ordered.
Of course, if they're in the store, if you have some people stocking these in your area, first of all, you're lucky that your retailer is stocking a wide variety of G-Code holsters, but then they're gonna be picking the exact color, fuzz, clip height, all the combinations of the interesting things that you might wanna do. Now, the other thing you can do with this, of course, there's a sight channel on all the G-Code holsters. This one is relieved for the RMR cut, which means that if I had a red dot here, you can see there wouldn't be any interference whatsoever, and a lot more people these days are carrying guns with the red dot or green dot sights with that carry optic, and this is not gonna have any problem whatsoever. Although, you can get a higher level of coverage from the holster on the pistol itself without getting that RMR cut. That's an option from G-Code as well.
The Eclipse is definitely a minimalist holster. I've used a lot of other holsters. I've talked about them here at Personal Defense Network. Of course, G-Code is the sponsor of the 2026 Personal Defense Network training tour. They've been with us for a few years, so you've seen a lot of their products here.
we've also had a lot of their products on the range, from the Paradigm holsters all the way up to this kind of a, a semi-custom setup that you get to pick the finishes, the colors, and the exact fit, which is, of course, important when you want to use this holster to eclipse your carry gun, to make it so that no one can see that you're carrying. Now, when you adjust this for your body, for your clothes, for your belt line, you're gonna have to figure out exactly, because of the way that the grip is gonna be the most pronounced thing that potentially prints, you're gonna wanna make sure that you position this so that it can move when you sit down and when you stand up. We want that. That's why most appendix carry holsters are single point. So we want a little bit of flexibility there, but the main adjustment we're gonna make is the location from outside to inside where we want this to be.
You can see that with this G-Code EDC belt, I've pushed the buckle, which could be protruding if I left it in the traditional space. You can see where it's gonna potentially print on the shirt as well. So I just push that over to my left side a little bit off center line. If you're a gig line guy, that's not gonna work for you. I get it.
You gotta let that go. I had to as well. And then we're gonna go ahead, obviously, and untuck, settle the shirt, and then I should be able to go through a normal range of motion as I'm going throughout my day, even reaching into my pocket, pulling something out, my wallet, put it back in, and not have to worry about printing or clearly demonstrating to everybody that I'm carrying a firearm. That's responsible concealed carry. It's also a tactical advantage, obviously, to not have people know you're carrying, and it's very easy to get to this firearm when you need it and get a good full grip, and that's gonna be set by the combination of how you dress, where your belt is, exactly where you place the gun, and how high you set this clip, and then that Super Mojo device can also help you with the angle when you set up your Eclipse holster from G-Code.
