Excellent daily carry holster. Great retention, plenty of adjustability for the right fit, and untouchable concealment. No curve or shape is without purpose here. For those who need a little extra help hiding bigger pistols, including very athletic and kinda-fit builds, this is the one. Completely satisfied.
David A.
If you haven’t gotten a Tier 1 holster then I have no clue what you’re waiting on. This company by far is the best at what they do in my opinion. This is and will be the only go to company for all of my handguns holster needs. Thanks Tier 1 for a great product! Fits my full size P320 with the X Carry grip module and Olight PL-2 Valkyrie like a glove.
Nathan E.
This holster is everything I hoped for. Highly recommended.
David A.
At first I was a little scared about the price as me and pure kydex don’t get along due to my tactical tummy. This holster however is the most functional, concealable, and comfortable holster I own. Lightning fast draws and top notch craftsmanship. Makes my Glock 19 disappear until it needs to come out then poof it’s drawn with lightning speed every time. Well done!
Paul D.
Great product, very comfortable than my previous appendix holster, but even better is their customer service.
Kurt W.
In a time where people are just pumping out products that "will get the job done" you have to appreciate the fact that Tier 1 has developed carry options that work better than most. Sure they cost a little more and take a little while to get shipped out. Cheap stuff ain't good and good stuff ain't cheap. Having used an Axis Slim for a year I had no doubt the Axis Elite was going to be worth the time and money. I will be a customer for years to come. Keep up the great work.
Joseph M.
Damn good holster, carrying my Glock 43 feels as if nothing is there. Running this holster with a kore essentials belt and they are perfect for one another. If you’re having doubt about buying this holster go ahead and pull the trigger...you won’t regret it, trust me. Now looking to buy the wedge pack and see if it takes this setup to another level.
Thank you Tier 1
Raymond S.
Holster is one of a kind, firearm fits perfectly, it’s conceals surprisingly well!
Love it!
Jacob G.
By far the most comfortable Hollister I’ve worn and by far the smoothest quick draw. If your looks for a great light weight compact concealed holster, look no further because this thing does the job better than any other. I expected it to be pretty good but I got really excited over it on just how easy it is to use. Makes life so much more simpler when it comes to my concealed carry. I recommend everyone who is looking for a concealed holster. 10-10!
Cordell W.
Sorry I don’t have a pic on me currently but being a bigger guy trying to lose weight this holster was super comfortable still I had no issues even having a gut I freaking love this thing! I have NO complaints!!!!!
Jonathan O.
Believe the hype my friends. This is the pinnacle of aiwb holsters it doesn't get better than this. I carry this M17 all day every day comfortably and confidently. I'm 5'10" 165 lbs and it hides a full size duty gun beautifully. Can't say enough good things about this rig!
Michael S.
By far the best holster I have used. Really comfortable and with the wedge kit it really is a great fit. I will be buying another one for my Glock 43.
Joseph W.
This is by far the best holster I have purchased. Comfort is on a different level from all the other holsters and concealability is on point!
matt s.
Easily one of the most comfortable holster I've ever had.
james s.
This is one of the utmost comfortable holsters I’ve ever owned. It has converted me to an appendix carry man. I never have pinching or binding, I am also not an overweight man, I do not have a muffin top and I even wear pants that fit. I do not have to buy pants that are over sized in the waste. Well made T1C
Clayton R.
Holster is amazing, conceals nicely, is comfortable everything I was looking for. The hardware to hold it together however I've had a lot of trouble with working loose. The screws can be cranked down so they dont work loose but then the tension is too high and the gun is hard to get out. Going to try to lock-tite the screws so that I don't find myself out and about with my holster falling apart again.
Dustin W.
Great holster for even a full sized pistol. Does well enough to conceal!
Ty U.
Amazing product. Said expected lead time was 20 days and it shipped in 8!!! I have 2 T1C holsters and will get more.
Eliseo R.
Absolutely love the holster, comfortable, easy to take off and you barely notice it’s on yourself at times.
tyler s.
Love this holster.... even when I don't wanna use my mag holder its easy to take off and back on with the cord. Great fit for my gun , I should of built a smaller gun than the glock 17 gen 5 with a streamlight but i make it work . Thanks alot I will be getting another in the future
ross w.
Best holster ever!
Mathew M.
Great product. Highly recommend.
Andrew D.
Love this holster. Couldn’t be happier. Very comfortable and very concealable especially with the wedge. Will continue to bring my business here.
Josh S.
I absolutely love this holster. It’s extremely comfortable to wear and conceals my Glock 19 very well. Highly recommend!!
David G.
Before carrying appendix I only carried at 4:00 on my waste with a custom IWB Kydex holster. I considered "going appendix" for over a year but hesitated because of the anticipation of discomfort more than fear of safety. You can always solve the safety problem by being ultra careful.
I finally made the decision, bought the Tier-1 Concealed with great hesitation and wore it appendix. As it turns out, it is very comfortable, sitting high on my waste band. Also, it is easier to conceal that the 4:00 hip position. There's no visible bulge in the back side of my pants / shirt, which is where people "look for a gun". On my belly, it fits better, and nobody seems to look there. I doubt you could carry appendix with a "pot belly", but that's an issue unique to each person.
After just a few weeks, I would never go back! For general purpose concealed carry, it's comfortable, easier to conceal, and gives me the added value of an additional magazine which didn't previously fit well.
Finally, the physics of body position seem to make it easier to draw from appendix. You don't have to contort your shoulder to reach behind yourself. You can keep your body square to the target and draw. That's very important.
The one situation where I would go back to my 4:00 waste-based holster would be when wearing a suit with a tucked in dress shirt and a tie. It's rare for me, but in that situation, I would go with 4:00 waste IWB.
Tier-1 is a great product, great company. Would recommend to all.
Helios A.
It freaked me out at first.
The gun wouldn’t fit in!
I thought I had messed up, I was so upset.
$200!!
Turns out they ship extremely tight.
I just had to loosen up the screws and lower the top spacer on the gun side, the mag side was perfect.
I wasn’t too sure about the ulti clip at first but it turns out it’s a great investment.
The ulti clip allows you to secure the holster to your actual pants and not hang on a belt.
This is great because it eliminates the need for a nylon gun belt and allows you to wear whatever belt/belt buckle of your choice or no belt at all, spend the $23.95 on the clip and skip the $100 war bel.
Artur B.
Sorry, I do not have much time for writing reviews, but I could not just ignore this one! All I want to say that I have tried out a lot of holsters and none of them got even close to the level of comfort of this one! These guys really know what they are doing. They thought through everything. If this holster is not comfortable enough for you, please stop looking, because there is nothing better than this out there - just sell your gun and stop carrying!
P.S. the handgun I am got this holster for is a Glock 34 (5+ inch barrel), it is nearly 8 inches long... I think hardly any company could say that they have achieved a way to make carrying a gun that big comfortable!
NELSON M.
This holster is awesome right out of the box it fit perfect. I thought I would need to add a wedge for concealment and even installed one but much to my surprise I didn’t need it and ended up removing the wedge.
Johnathan M.
An incredible holster! I’ve carried appendix for years but never spend the money on the best. There is a difference! It’s more comfortable and more easy to conceal. The package is awesome wish I’d done it sooner.
Alex Z.
Badass holster. Top notch quality
Paul N.
IT LOOKS AND FEELS AMAZING! I Carry it every day since I got it! Strongly recommend it! Don’t wait ! Buy it with confidence!
Robert F.
The holster itself feels great. It definitely took a while to get used to but appendix carrying a Sig320 will always but a little rough. The only downside with the whole process is it took a while to get here. And the communication sucks. But with Covid going on I understand
Casin B.
Amazing holster! Great adjustment and love the fact that it comes suppressor sight and RMR ready.
Jared S.
This is my 3rd Tier 1 holster. I also have an AGIS and Axis Slim. Not sure how they did it, but the new Elite is even better than those two. Extremely comfortable and does an excellent job concealing the gun. Retention is excellent. I needed this holster for a 5” M&P which was not an option, but with a quick chat with them, they said it was no problem to make it for the 5” and delivered a great product. I’ll be back for more, and I will continue to tell everyone about them.
Ben H.
Conceals excellently! Best holster I have used.
Justin M.
I’m a bigger guy and I’ve tried other appendix holsters before but it was never comfortable. I gave the Axis Elite a shot and man what a difference! It’s the most adjustable and comfortable appendix holster I’ve had!
Ian N.
Awesome holster. Love it. Gonna get another soon for another firearm. Only thing I feel would make it slightly better would be a neoprene (or something similar) padding between the holster and skin. Still an outstanding holter.
Jerald T.
THE Best Appendix Carry holster in the market. It’s comfortable, reliable and It conceals fairly well.
Note: shock cord system is a GAME CHANGER.
Taylor O.
Despite the Glock48 version of this holster saying its made for the factory mags it works just fine with the Shield arms 15 rounds mags. I would assume they say that because the shield arms ones cause more wear on the kydex but its no big deal because you don't draw the mag out 100 times a day in fact its more like once a year lol. Also a super confortable holster. If you get the full sweat guard version it digs into your stomach a little more. I just took a razor knife to one of the sharper angles to fix that. Love supporting local buisness too! Props to Tier 1 for the good product.
Hayden G.
I was very hesitant to buy the axis elite when I already had a t-rex sidecar. It was well worth the money and the 2-3 week wait. The fit and finish is second to none and the flex between the magazine and the gun makes it hands down the most comfortable appendix holster I’ve worn. Plus, It looks great!
Eric F.
I have always been somewhat against appendix carry just because of the discomfort. So because of that I carried subcompact, single stack pistols in the 4 o’clock position. After being convinced by my best friend, who is an appendix carry advocate, I did some research and landed on the axis elite. I could not be more happy that I did. I use the medium wedge and now carry a Glock 19 more comfortably than any other gun that I’ve ever carried in any position. To anyone that is hesitant or reserved about making this purchase because of the price, I can tell you without a doubt that it is more than worth it! Pull the trigger (pun intended) and you’ll be glad that you did. For reference, at 6’2” and 185 lbs I have no problem concealing with very minimal printing even with tighter t shirts. Tier 1 is the best I’ve tried and I will be buying more holsters from them in the future.
Ben H.
This is one of the most comfortable holsters, That I have ever bought. 100% would buy again.
jon r.
It’s great. Let me put it to you like this... I used to carry a g43 and extra mag up front in separate holsters. Now I carry a g19 w/RMR and extra g17 mag in my T1. With this holster they feel the same. The low profile design is fantastic and the ride height perfect. With the use of a large wedge it’s a fantastic system. Even when driving it doesn’t dig in nearly as much as my old setup. Sits sight to the body and still allows for quick draw.
Douglas F.
Not a skinny guy but not rocking beer gut just plain average build. Was very skeptical at first, as I have tried running a holster apendix carry and hated it. But this one really does fit and carry well. I really though there would be no way sitting down would be comfortable, I really thought people just said it was cause apendix carry is the in thing. But it really is comfortable sitting in a car or truck. Fit and finish is great and turn around was fast even during a panic time.
Keith W.
This is my second holster from you guys. Absolutely worth every penny. After years of buying and trying many different holsters when I discovered these rigs I never looked for another set up. I am hopeful there will be many more different pistol options on the future. Keep crushing the holster game. You guys are legit. If anyone reading this review is feeling froggy then jump!
Tim H.
All day, everyday.
Don’t waste your money on cheap stuff.
I have tried the OWB leather holsters, but wearing those with a T-Shirt and a full size service pistol is not an option if you care at all about printing. The future is appendix. Way faster to employ (at least for me), and you can easily conceal a full size pistol and spare mag, comfortably. Tier 1 by far does it best. I have probably ten other kydex holsters from various brands... that all sit in a box next to the safe. I have two Tier 1 holsters now, and they are the only two now that ever have a pistol in them. Just wish I would have found Tier 1 sooner so I could have all the money back I spent on other kydex holsters.
Harrison C.
This holster is super comfortable and very concealable. Not to mention that the website said lead time was 15-20 days and they got it to me in 11!

Steven C.
Thank you for the quality product! I will be ordering more items soon!!!
tarryn s.
As an abnormally skinny guy, it’s been insanely painful trying to find a holster that actually conceals my Glock19. I’ve finally found one, hundreds of dollars later. If you have a slim build, look no further. My weapon and extra mag are invisible in shorts and a t-shirt. Could not be happier. I do carpentry and home maintenance all day, and have had zero discomfort or printing issues. Don’t waste your money elsewhere. This is what you need right here if you carry appendix. Thanks T1C <3
Michael D.
It's pretty comfortable! Though, if I could change one thing, I'd have it ride a little bit lower so it clears my tactical gut extension a little better. But smaller folks probably won't mind the ride height. Other than that, it does everything a holster should do (protect trigger, hold firearm, allow full firing grip, etc) and I'd probably buy another one.
Ralph G.
Color isn’t quite what I expected, but it has grown on me. Great holster
Ronald V.
So comfortable especially when carrying. Conceals my glock 48 like a charm, and the ulti-clips help for me to wear even basketball shorts and STILL conceal!
Vince H.
Works just liked advertised. It’s very comfortable.
tim p.
Hands down the best concealment holsters I've ever used!
Brian B.
This is by far the most comfortable holster I’ve ever had. Great fit, workmanship and quality. Keep up the good work.
Steven S.
Excellent holster
Matthew M.
I had researched this company as I approached the legal age of 21 to get my LTC and was impressed by the reviews. They did advertise it would take 15-20 to send the holster but they did it in less time I believe and it came out superbly right out the box! All the comfort, customization and look that I wanted I received.
David S.
Great product. Nice fit and comfortable to wear.
Brian R.
By far the most comfortable holster I have ever used! Bought another for my CZ I loved this one so much!
Dennis S.
Running the Axis Elites for a Glock 48 and a Glock 19. What a journey this holster hunt has been! I’ve tried everything to get myself to love AIWB. And before these holsters it just wasn’t working. I’m 5’6, 170 and fit. I wear what some would call tight jeans (5.11 Slims) and I’m in a T-shirt 90% of the time.
Check this out, I can run a Glock 19 in this rig along with a 2nd spare mag in a Tier1 IWB Mag Carrier. Fit jeans and a T-shirt ZERO print. I’ve got velcro on the holsters and have tried the wedge packs. Found they aren’t needed.
I’m driving 30,000 miles a year and this rig feels great while sitting in the truck. I’ve taken about 26 hours of pistol classes wearing these holsters. Been on the ground shooting with the rig. Draw and shoot from sitting. Retention draw and shoot. The rig just works and is ROCK SOLID. Just do it. I wear a 1.75” belt most of the time, clips fit the added width no problem.
Next for me an Xphios V2. Well done guys!
william b.
Best holster I’ve ever had. It is a little pricy which is why I was hesitant, but so far I love it.
Tom M.
Both my sons are using this rig and love it.... I’m next. It’s worth the wait!
Luis E.
Awesome holster and has met my expectations. Keep up the great work!
Joshua H.
Great build quality, super slim, and comfortable to wear. I would recommend this to anyone that appendix carries.
J T.
Worth the price.
One of the most comfortable holsters I have ever owned. The shock cord system is genius and the overall quality of the product is well built. Don’t second guess on buying it. Just do it.
Leonardo K.
Great quality holster. It’s low key, comfortable and my G19 with APLc fit perfectly. Will purchase another in the future.
Assaf G.
Great comfort and concealability, with excellent craftsmanship.
Myangel V.
Great, comfortable holster
Eddie C.
Loctite your screws! I forgot to and lost one but this is best holster yet! Really fits comfortably with great retention. Before with other holsters I would come home and run to gun safe to take off my gun. My EDC was becoming not such and everyday thing. But now, I come home and sometimes it takes me an hour or more before I even notice it and decide to take it off. If it was possible to keep the great all around quality while lowering the price a bit I would love it even more. Still a great product and I’ve already recommended to many. Thanks guys.
Craig S.
Most comfortable holster I’ve worn yet. Balances and carries the weight of the Glock 19 extremely well. I did change the factory position of the clips to fit me better, but that’s what they’re there for. Already ordered another holster for my G43X.
Yeeleng T.
10/10! Well built and super comfy! The claw helps conceal my gun especially with the glock 19. Being a smaller guy, I'm still able to carry my gun with ease and concealment.
Tom M.
I run a Sig p320 RXP Xcompact as my CCW with the Axis Elite holster. I couldn't be more pleased with the attention to detail and the quality of this product. I'm an 9yr Army Veteran and, I currently have 21yrs as an L.E.O. I would strongly recommend this holster.
Joshua S.
This holster is very well made and extremely comfortable. I could not be happier with this purchase. I have one for my G19 and one for my G43.
Jose R.
Absolutely the best holster that I have used
Steve B.
First holster, did my research, this is worth the money.
Casey M.
LOVE it, quality is on point, I have a Glock 19 with a Surefire X300U on it and for the added length and weight/bulkiness of the gun it conceals and carries very well, it’s not uncomfortable and is very solid, I’ll be getting the Axis Slim with the uticlips next for my 43X for more formal events when wearing dress clothing.
Kent H.
I got two of them one for my Glock 19&43 and is a huge upgrade from the g code holster. And the uniclips are not doubt the best thing ever!! You guys made an amazing holster. And thank you for filling my order durning this time, so thank you for everything.
Paul R.
Love the fit and feel of this holster. Very comfortable. I often forget I’m wearing it. Purchased for my SIG 365. Wish it was offered for my SIG 225A1.
Jason E.
Perfect Fit, super comfortable!!
cale d.
It was expensive but when I got it it was worth it
Matthew H.
I have 4 Tier 1 holsters, including 3 of the new Axis Elite. They are by far my favorite holster. I recently got one with the Utiliclips so that I can wear the holster with sweat pants. It works great for smaller pistols, like the Sig P365, Glock 43/43x, S&W Shield, etc.
Steffen H.
This holster is perfect. The upgraded clips make the holster stay in place no matter what you do. This is by far the most comfortable and concealable holster I own.
Ross S.
After making all of the adjustments, I must say this holster is top notch. I can conceal a Glock 19 with all the goodies and it conceals completely. No printing. Its absolutely comfortable even with a tactical beer gut and love handles. Worth the extra dollar and wait.
Pat V.
Great holster for IWB appendix carry. I have not had the time to adjust the clips to find the most comfortable setup yet, but so far it does an excellent job of concealing my Sig P320 and spare magazine. I am not the most svelte guy, and even with a more than adequate spare tire, I can usually conceal pretty well with this holster. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is that the Kydex on the muzzle end is about 3/4" longer than the muzzle itself. I would prefer that it be a closer tolerance to remove the extra material, but it doesn't interfere with use of the holster.
Jaren B.
Love this thing for my g43x! As someone switching from a leather holster, I am suprised how comfortable this is for a kydex holster. If you're considering the ulti clips, just go ahead and do it, it comes with the generic belt clips as well if they're not for you. Hides gun and extra managazine really well without having to necessarily dress around your gun which I think is great! I should have got this darn thing when I first started carrying, I would have saved myself a lot of money on holsters in the end! Definitely worth the investment, I don't imagine myself needing a new holster for years and years to come now. WORTH THE WAIT!
Michael C.
Absolutely love it! Hands down the most comfortable iwb holster I've ever carried, being a smaller person and only having a 32" waist this holster definitely conceals without any issue and sitting down or bending over isnt painful like with other holsters. I would recommend to anyone and already have gotten a few people to order one.
Antonio A.
Been wearing Axis Elite for my Glock 43x for 4 months now. Best appendix IWB I’ve ever worn. I’ve tried before and was apprehensive, as I normally carry at my 4 o’clock, but would always print given my body type. Now with my 43x and Shield Arms S15 Mags. I am carrying the perfect set up and little to minimal printing thanks to T1C. I finally found a holster company that pays attention to the details. There customer service is the best I’ve experienced too! Just canceled an order and replaced it with another order, and they placed it back in line with original order so I would not lose my spot with lead times. I will be buying from this company for years to come.
Justin N.
Thought about getting this holster many times and never committed...i sure am glad I finally did because it is hands down the most comfortable holster I have ever worn construction is great and conceals my g43x in a 32 in waist with a medium shirt flawlessly. Top notch product i will not hesitate to buy again
thanks tier 1
Jason W.
Very well made and conceals extremely well for me being a skinny guy.
Joseph W.
Love the holster.
Clinton C.
Better than expected! The fitment is very precise. Conceals extremely well!
Kevin F.
Tier 1 has a great product!
Comfortable holster!
Anthony M.
I bought my second T1 IWB holster, this time with the UltiClips. I was so shocked with how comfortable this setup is for my Glock 43. I could almost sleep with the holster on. Can’t wait to try it on a road trip. Highly highly recommend.
Craig Y.
It's quite comfortable and conceals better than any other holster I've ever owned. People have clearly thought through many little details that some other holster manufacturers have either neglected or chosen not to incorporate to save costs.
My only concern: After a week, some of the steel hardware that sits against my abdomen is starting to rust. Tier One customer support was outstanding, and new hardware is on its way.
Brian L.
I own the Agis, Axis Slim, & now the Axis Elite & they are the most comfortable holsters I’ve ever worn.
Sean O.
I have three T1C holsters in total, for each of my EDC in rotation, and there are a million reasons why I only use T1c holsters. To keep it short, however, these are no-fuss, no-frills, perfectly designed, made and executed holsters and I have no cons even if I have to nit-pick. I can't even say anything about the price because I've seen inferior holsters sold for more! When it comes to comfort while carrying, it can't possibly get more comfortable than this... within reason. The only thing these can't do is brew me some coffee.
Billy S.
Great communication during ordering process. Perfect fit.
