what can I say but exceptional quality just like the other tier1 rigs I have purchased.They are no doubt the best apeendix carry set up at there period.
Derrick C.
I'll never use another AIWB holster again.

This is my 3rd axis elite but the first for a full sized pistol, Sig 320 Legion X5. I was super surprised how well it felt and concealed. Quality is amazing as always! Top product, thank you!!!!
Dan
Ok, I am sold. You hear about products and how they are the best but you find out they are not after you spend money and time trying them. Not so for the Axis! From the minute I unpacked it I could see the difference from my last IWB/appendix holster. More stout, better attention to detail, adjusted perfectly out of the box for me (how did you know?!) and the fit? The appendix fit was way better that the last one that didn’t have a mag holster. Stop wasting time on shopping around and searching for the perfect fitting holster, buy the Axis. Go ahead, do it! You won’t regret it! I sure don’t...
Matthew J.
I wanted to wait to give a review, until I had some time with it. Over all I think its great. Carring a gun sucks period, its not comfortable or easy. This holster does make it easier its very comfortable (for sticking a gun done your pants). It does conceal well. Does it disappear, NO. But over all I love my holster I would absolutely buy it again. I will continue to use and enjoy it. Thanks Tier 1 for a great product and getting it to me in a timely manner.

I'm 5'6" 162 pounds. This fits great and is not uncomfortable. Rotate your belt buckle to 10 or 2 o'clock. For the past year I was wearing IWB at 4 oclock with a PPS M2. Went to a G19 for ammo capacity and figured I'd give the T1 Elite a try. So far I'm glad I did. I bought the wedge pack as well but as of now I don't think it's needed. No edges are abrasive and I'm not printing. The retention is easy to adjust. Thumbs up.
James C.
I bought an elite on eBay for my 43x and decided I needed to carry my 19 more. The Buffalo plaid became available and I grabbed it. I didn’t think a larger firearm would be more comfortable than the 43x but I wear the 19 axis elite all day and no issues. Driving, sitting, standing. It’s worth every penny. Picked up a 48 mos and will definitely be ordering another axis elite!
Bryant L.
I love it. I’m 6’4” skinny and I’m carrying a Glock 34 with a x-300A and I’m not printing. Comfortable while walking, sitting down, and driving definitely worth the price and wait time.
Bill V.
If I were to describe this holster in one word...... it would be........ Mint
Brandon V.
The elite is an amazing revision of the axis slim. The overall smaller package with increased concealment is well thought out and obviously a product of guys who run their gear. 10/10 Tier1.
Derrick C.
I thought the hype was just hype. I thought the difference would not be worth the extra cash. I was wrong. I'll never use another holster brand again.
Reed M.
I've been using the Axis Elite for several weeks with a Glock 48 and Shield Arms magazines. The holster is extremely well made, and the retention is perfect right out of the box! Since the mags are not built for an ambidextrous mag-release, the spare magazine doesn't "click" into place like a stock Glock mag would, but I just tightened the retention and have zero issues. I have a Xiphos V2, a T1 Echo, and another Axis Elite on order for a Sig P365XL, so I guess you can say I believe in Tier 1's product! Tier 1 makes the best inside the waistband holsters on the market.
John M.
Very impressed with my new Axis elite (coyote brown w/o sweatguard) holster. Quality through and through. Btw, Tier1 customer service was just as outstanding. The response was almost immediate or same day for all my order changes and adjustment requests. Thanks T1, you guys nailed it!!
DaKotah P.
I love this holster I have fallen asleep many oh times forgetting this holster what is I plan on getting a second one when on it is the most comfortable holster I've ever owned and I do plan on purchasing a second one in the future
Ethan F.
Love this holster! For the money it can’t be beat!
I didn’t follow good advice and start with Tier 1. Instead I tried two other brands and quickly found they do not compare which cost me more money. Already placed an order for a second holster.
Vincente N.
Stoked on this guy! I thought I could cheap out and guy an 80 Amazon nock off but it was so stiff and uncomfortable. So I sucked it up and bought one of these bad boys and it’s night and day difference. Definitely worth the extra buck
Benjamin P.
Conceals my full size surprisingly well also is quite comfortable, overall just a well made holster!
Jeremy P.
Awesome quality.. Very comfortable. Extra mag what!!! Love it..
Daniel N.
Great product! Very comfortable and perfectly designed for concealablity and accessibility. Highly recommended!
Gabriel S.
Very comfortable....fast shipping.! Quality!
Colin M.
I've only ever owned cheap holsters and they've always been uncomfortable. I finally pulled the trigger and bought this little guy. It's worth every single cent. I can't recommend this holster enough and I can't imagine that any holster works better in terms of concealment, retention, and sex appeal. Buy one, dummy.
Jason W.
Well made, cant beat it.
Luis O.
The holster is incredibly comfortable. Surprisingly so, given its size. There is always that comfortable click when holstering.
Allows you to purchase the handle securely every time and with the index finger in the precise place needed. No exceptions.
Been wearing it all day every day in the tropics. 90+ temp high humidity and it’s comfortable for all day wear. Even driving for long periods of time are not a problem. I can honestly say I sometimes forget I have it with me. Prints a little bit but it’s mostly the extended magazine. If I use a regular mag you can hardly tell. I also wear solid color polos so there is nothing to break the pattern. The wedges help with the printing and make it even more comfortable. Two thumbs up
John N.
Slim Elite fits me way better than my previous holster and is actually comfortable to carry. Just bought the TLR-6 light for the M&P Shield, great fitment to the holster with the firearm snug to the holster. Will recommend the holster to friends.
Brian B.
This holster is the most comfortable IWB I have ever warn. Top-notch quality workmanship and considerable conceal ability. Thank you T1 I will be buying two more.
Jason P.
I've always heard good things, and my expectations were exceeded. Very fast turn around, love the plaid, and it works with the new Arex Delta + TLR7
Benjam L.
Not my first go round with tier 1.Always good quality but this is best holster to date
Gabriel R.
Worth every penny! You get what you pay for
Joshua J.
It feels great and holds my gun. All that's left for me to do is find my blue thread lock and make sure it stays tight.
Joseph C.
Aside from the gun itself, this is the absolute best purchase I’ve made so far. I was extremely surprised at the level of comfort and how well I am able to conceal the Glock 19 with spare mag. I’m not a big guy (5’8”, 175lbs.) and feel absolutely comfortable conceal carrying. I can sit with no pain, squat and move without any of the discomfort I was worried about. Tier 1, I took the advice of a “YouTuber” and saved money by going for the best first to save myself from having to buy another holster. Best move I could have made. I recommend this to everyone carrying concealed, hands down!
Bill S.
Excellent holster. Best one I’ve owned. Comfortable.
Tyler .
Have several T1C products, will definitely be ordering more in the future! Top notch products! Keep killin it!
Dave O.
This holster fits the VP9 and spare mag perfectly. The adjustment point for the mag and pistol makes setting the desired retention a breeze. After having adjusted the holster to ride a little higher above the belt line the comfort of sitting and squatting is better. To help the comfort of this holster I lightly rounded over the bottom edges that contact me with a fine file. Let's be real, this is an appendix carry holster and it will take some getting used to but I don't see that being a problem with this holster.
Great job Tier 1

Reagan B.
Ordered for the first time for my M&P shield. Very well made, love the design, and it fits great!!! I am going to order for my other guns next.
Joel S.
Great holster, clean workmanship. I would highly recommend it.
Zach T.
Love the holster! I have an Axis Slim but this was my first Elite. I ordered it for my Beretta 92X compact, and the CS team reached out to me saying it might not fit since the holster is designed for the model with the rail. Well, it ended up fitting perfectly. Awesome holster
Cody H.
My end game setup.
5'8" 155lbs + Axis Elite = 28, 9mm rounds, invisible.
This is my third tier one holster and all have them have been top notch. I still will use the xiphos with the ulticlips when I choose to go without a belt and that works great as well. As for this holster, this is my final setup. I carried the xiphos with a neo mag carrier for the extended 15 rd magazine for the sig 365 XL and ended up really desiring all of my firearm gear to be in the same place.
I ordered this and to be completely honest, I actually wish the magazine portion of the holster was just a but further down by default, but that is just me. I ended up undoing and redoing the para cord to drop the magazine side down one loop while simultaneously raising the belt loop clip. The result is an identical cant (horizontal) of the firearm grip before this mod, while also having the magazine portion sit around .6" lower which really perfected the setup for me.
10/10 first holster I would buy again.
Isaac D.
I was overall extremely pleased with this holster. Fit and finish were excellent, and there were no sharp edges. The shock cord system, which I was not initially sold on, has also clearly been thought out, and after carrying the holster for 2 weeks now the benefits are clearly obvious. Comfort was greatly increased with a wedge pack (not a fault of the holster, simply a concession to any AIWB type holster).
Shawn P.
Great holster with great quality. My only complaint and its a small one is i wish that the claw was a bit longer so that it wouldn’t ride up but other than that this has been exactly what i wanted
Loyd L.
The holster is better than expected which is why i'm ordering two more. Quicker delivery than quoted and outstanding communication with customer service while ordering made this a great purchase.
Jeffery K.
Tier 1 Axis Elite for my Glock 19.5, these holsters are hands down my favorite. Conceals excellent. Draws are quick and precise with the Axis Elite.
Tyler M.
I received the Axis Elite last week, and I was extremely impressed with it. I carry a Shadow Systems M920 with a TLR-8 and I have zero fear of losing my gun because it fits so well. The clips and “claw” can be adjusted to accommodate different heights, and the screws that hold the two sides can be tightened or loosened to change up the retention. The gun/mag sections of the holster do flex with your movement. I only suggest that if you’re going to take this thing apart to make adjustments, that you do it on the floor. The rubber washers and spacers are made of material that rivals any bouncy ball company.
My only complaint, and this is clearly cosmetic, was that the holes that were drilled for the ulti clips were a tad misaligned and inconsistent. Again, it’s clearly cosmetic and does not affect the holster in any way and you can’t even tell because the holes are completely covered by the washer/screws.
All in all, it’s an excellent holster!
Jorge E.
The most comfortable holster in the market today!!!!!!, excellent quality!!!!!
Tyler H.
This is my first appendix holster. Very comfortable. I like how the mag holder folds with your body. The yeti is also my favorite, looks very sharp in person. Would recommend this holster to anybody whose looking to carry appendix.
Jared H.
A lot to say, this product and quality is really clean. I originally ordered the axis slim, but about a week into the order I changed my mind and contact them for an axis elite. (Which cost more) and they gladly changed it at no charge. So that was a big plus.
Also, the reason I posted the picture with the back presented, is to show how I added the wedges as well. I cut one and added it on one of the corners because it was digging into my thigh and it helped a lot. I recommend the wedges no matter what size you.
Jonathan G.
Such an amazing holster! Immediately noticed the upgrades from the Axis Slim. Im so happy with this holster and the spare mag being canted more definitely makes mag change easier and quicker!
dario c.
Amazing quality best holster I've had so far
Justin B.
This holster feels like your not wearing a holster.I only have had it for a couple months but way better than any other holster so far. Highly recommend.
Ryan S.
Came in the mail just short of their lead times! The fit and finish are fantastic. This holster is actually really easy to conceal and mine is holding a Glock 17 with tlr and rmr! Great holster, great company and I highly recommend it!
Jacob M.
The wait was well worth it. I am on the bit heavier side and I was worried about appendix carry. I was amazed putting on this holster. It tucks perfectly. I can sit, drive, run, anything. Can't say enough how please I am with this holster. You can really tell they did their homework designing them. Thanks Tier 1!
Greg C.
I’ve tried many other appendix carry rigs and pretty much lost hope. I happened to watch the Warrior Poets video on this brand and figured I’d give it a go and man am I glad I did. This is appendix carry done right!! Thanks T1C!!
Stephen M.
I have had numerous holsters for my CC and this is by far the Best I have Ever used. I want to purchase another for more of my guns. It feels like it's not even there, and you can't tell I have it on.
Chris R.
Never thought I’d be able to conceal carry a Sig P320 with a carry grip module with tighter clothes on. I’m 185 lbs at 5’ 9” and this AXIS Elite hides a full length grip pistol like a champ. 10/10 recommend this platform for appendix carry, especially if you’re lookin’ to carry full size gats.
Jacob G.
It's super comfortable, love the color, and the retention is awesome. My gen 3 Glock 17 with my streem lite tlr 1 s fit like a dream, and it conceals with no print. Definitely recommend to any and everyone!
Pete V.
Very Satisfied with how comfortable it is. The way the Axis Elite flexes while moving is great.
Justin C.
Pros: Virtually no printing. Comfortable after 8hrs of use. Retention and position are easily adjustable. Clips are quite strong.
Cons: Expensive (but worth it).
Nathan S.
I love this holster! It’s extremely comfortable and doesn’t get in my way or irritate me no matter what I am doing - walking, jumping, squatting, bending over, sitting. Finding a holster that I can comfortably wear all day with gym shorts in the Texas heat is no easy feat, but this holster does that. My wife wants one now too. We will definitely be ordering more. Thanks T1C
David M.
Recently but the Axis Elite for my Sig M18. Swapped out the module for the Wilson Combat. I couldn't be happier with it. My first time owning a aiwb holster and have zero complaints. I will be buying more from Tier1 in the near future.
Dan K.
My first ,but not last T1 holster. It came highly reviewed and did not disappoint. Fit, finish, and flex of the elastic was perfect!
Rebel R.
This holster is exactly what you pay for. High quality, sleek design, safe trigger guard design, and very durable. It's my first appendix holster, and despite carrying a Glock 19, it couldn't be easier.
The shock cord lacing design is genius, and the almost endless amount of customization to ride height, cant, and holster placement is amazing. Buy once cry once. Tier 1 is what you want!
Zachary F.
Awesome! Even better in person. Ulti clips are essential.
Eric Z.
Great holster. Tucks and hides my G19 very well with jeans and a tee shirt. Very comfortable even while driving.
David G.
Just received the rig and haven't used it yet. Everything about the sale was great. Took some time to get it but I was aware of the wait because of,,,, well you know what!!! But well worth the wait. Will do an update in the future after I've used it awhile.
Charles A.
Great holster. I love it. However, the only place the grabs the pistol is on the light. When I take the light off the pistol is loose in the holster. I’ve looked and determined that my set up has to use the light for a friction source.
Otherwise I absolutely love it and it is my number one carry holster. Looking forward to getting others for my other pistols.
James P.
I think this is my 6th tier 1 holster and I love it. Comfortable, durable, and just the right amount of retention.
Derek W.
This holster is freaking sweet. The retention gives a satisfying ‘click’ when re-holstering and even with the extra magazine. I would send a warning to anymore wanting to carry a light Mount appendix. My personal opinion is that it’s pretty uncomfortable even with a wedge. I used my buddy’s T1C axis slim that uses the same firearm and without the light it’s a very pleasant experience. I will now have to order another holster without the light.
Caleb W.
Shipping was quick and product it exactly what I wanted and needed
long d.
Awesome. Will be ordering another soon.
Winston S.
Can’t believe I waited as long as I did to order. AWESOME PRODUCT!!! FYI get the wedge kit.
Jimmy P.
Its awesome. I love it wasn't sure how well it would conceal the glock 17 but it does great. Great customer service too quick with the reply.
Brittain G.
I have never been able to carry appendix position comfortably before. So I decided to give this a try and run a dedicated appendix holster. Wow.! This thing is comfortable. Wearing it all day with no issues. Even sitting down is not bad. The wedges make a difference for sure. This holster is a win for me.
Thank you.
Peter H.
Very impressed with the quality and fit of the holster. The time it took to receive was expected and quite rapid considering the ongoing issues.
John B.
Best holsters in the business!..my EDC is this G45 9mm with Trijicon RMR AND Streamlight TLR-8 and +4 and +6 baseplates and I still don’t print at all!
Wayne S.
The holster set up with extended mag along with the ULTI clips are amazing!!
Dylan Y.
Most comfortable appendix carry rig I’ve worn to date. This came in the mail for my g19 a few weeks ago, worn everyday, no hot spots, no adjustments needed. Worth the price and the lead time for sure.
Jacob R.
I received my holster yesterday and it's the best fitting holster I own. I'm truly impressed.
It conceals very well (G43x). My other holsters either lean forward and the top or the grip sticks out. This rig is definitely tier 1.
Kurt W.
This makes rig number 3. I'm hooked. Quality is top notch. If you are reading this and sitting on the fence... just do it. Yes- the wait time seems like torture, but it will make your patients muscles stronger. Good things come to those who wait. If the price has you at odds on jumping in... just remember. You spent good money on your gun. Don't you think it would want a deluxe apartment in your belt?
Anton M.
Excellent quality. Perfect fit. Get one !
Jessica P.
Made extremely well, got it in hot pink and I love it!!!
Jay F.
I first heard about the Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite holster while listening to John Lovell on his WPS Network. He raved about the product and claimed it was the ‘bees knees.’ Truth be told, I never really had any exposure to Tier 1 Concealed holsters or any combo holsters, for that matter.
I thought ... why not try something different. The reviews for the product were all off the charts and most importantly my wife approved the purchase . After purchasing the Axis Elite for my Sig P365 XL and training with the holster for a few weeks, I can honestly say that Mr. Lovell was spot on.
1. The design is brilliant - the holster is held to the magazine pouch with military grade shock cord. The ‘hinge’ between the holster and the magazine pouch makes appendix carry very comfortable. The claw on the outer right edge of the holster is designed to go under the belt and comfortably pushes the holster snugly into the right side abdominal cavity.
2. The magazine pouch is angled to facilitate quick and easy reloads. Tbt, I thought that I’d be losing time on reloads by having to pull the magazine from closer to center line. But, reloads are actually faster (at least for me) since the placement of the magazine pouch is always consistent.
3. The clips can be adjusted for either conventional (high carry) or deep carry.
4. I went with the ‘just right’ - ‘medium height’ for the sweat guard. I thought the ‘high option’ might impede a secure purchase/grip when drawing. The ‘low option’ might be a bit tough on the skin depending on the abrasiveness of the respective gun’s grip. The medium guard is very comfortable and the holster facilitates very fast draws.
All in all .... 5 star design, 5 star quality and 5 star customer service.
I liked it so much. I ordered the Aegis for my M&P 2.0 Compact. Keep up the great work gents.
#Tier1Concealed
Tyler H.
I love the Axis Elite series, it was no question that my CZ P10F would require one too. For such a big gun this holster makes it disappear, I couldn’t be any happier with this holster. It will continue to be my go to iwb holster.
Joseph K.
Love this holster. It is amazingly comfortable, I almost don't notice that it is there. Yes, it took a while to get here, but the wait was worth it. The carbon fiber just looks badass even though hardly anyone sees it but me.
C J.
I have nothing but good things to say about this holster. It’s well worth the price and comfortable for all day use. I’m glad to have discovered Tier1 as a new gun owner as of this year and they will be my go to spot from now on. Cheers!
Travis Y.
I love it. Good concealment
Joe R.
The best holster there is! These holsters are definitely made by shooters for shooters. They thought of everything from the shock cord to the spare mag ridge for better concealment. The triggers completely covered but the kydex is cut deep enough for a guy with big hands like me to get a full combat draw on the gun. & their claws/wings are the best, the extra surface area keeps it in place, not sliding off your belt. Price tag is high but quality is worth it!
Eric D.
Hands down best AIWB holster on the market. I’m 5’6”, 175 pounds with a short torso, and this fits and conceals perfectly. I’ve tried other well-known brands’ AIWB holsters, and the Axis Elite reins supreme!
Kyle C.
The Elite conceals noticeably better than the Slim. Its very comfortable especially since my setup is near 4lbs. I have a high angle RH saftey, so the molding on the high sweat guard would partially disengage the saftey. I used a dremel and took the edge of the guard off and it fits great now. Overall a great improvement over the already great Slim.
Brian H.
I don’t know why I waited so long to buy this holster for my EDC! Hands down, the most comfortable holster I’ve ever owned and the best appendix carry rig I’ve ever tried. It absolutely DISAPPEARS even under a tight-ish single-color t-shirt. I have a few carry options for different times of year and I will absolutely be purchasing an Axis Elite for all of them. You should do the same.
Michael P.
Fits great... excellent holster
Forrest H.
I received my axis elite in just a little over 3 weeks which was much faster than I was expecting. So far the product is excellent and lives up to the reviews I studied before my purchase. I love the ulti-clips and I can carry my fully size M&P 9 with no issues.
martin r.
The product is great the only think I would have a complaint is how long it took to get to me! Wish you guys also made it with the option of a light
Jason B.
So I just received my Axis elite in the mail today for my sig sauer p320 compact. I immediately put the gun and spare mag in the holster and tried it out for size. I have to say this is by far the best appendix holster I have. I will definitely be getting one for my new p365. Thank you so much T1C great product the wait was definitely worth it
Shaun H.
I’m a new conceal carry recipient and I’ve tried several holsters. None conceals as good as this one. It’s surprisingly comfortable. The wedges add a bit more concealment as well. The folks from Achilles Heel Tactical where I took my first pistol course highly recommend T1C and I now do as well. I’m very happy with my purchase. The lead times are well worth the wait.
JORDAN M.
Worth the cost. Have owned several mediocre holsters in the past which add up to more cost overall. Should have gone with this one first.
sam b.
It’s amazing. Having a Sidecar that is two different pieces makes a world of difference in comfort. Highly recommended
Scott L.
Absolutely the most comfortable IWB I’ve ever owned
Matthew E.
I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time and money trying to find the perfect light bearing holster that does a good job of concealing while still being comfortable enough for 24/7 use. Let me save you the $ and tell you, while the price point may seem a little high at first, it is worth it 100%. Combined with the pads, I can wear this with a plain T shirt and still conceal my preferred carry (Glock45). T1C is the best appendix holster out there that I know of. 10/10 would recommend.
Alex W.
I love how this holster fits me. Having the ability for the sidecar to flex with the body, along with the carefully designed contours/geometry is what makes this setup awesome. I carry a Gen5 Glock 19 w/ TLR7A, and I feel extremely comfortable while wearing this with a good belt. Thank you so much!! I am glad I read other reviews and did my research, so worth it!
