The name says it all. Truly top tier holsters. I have been a career trex arms guy. I have around 8 trex arms rigs right now. They are a great company as well but wow.. the axis elite is on a whole different playing field. The way they married that weapon system holster and mag pouch together with whatever bungee cord they use is absolutely brilliant. I love seeing innovation in the firearms world and this company has certainly done it. I forget it am wearing it thats how comfortable it is. (Sig P320 M18 w/optic and TLR-1 HL) I will certainly be purchasing more holsters as needed. Thanks for your hard work. Keep fighting the good fight!

Great holster. It does its job of keeping my weapon concealed without larger sized shirts. Its comfortable and looks good also. Verry satisfied with the product . I have 3 other holsters and this one is by far my favorite.
Ryan B.
I’m new to anything holsters. I’ve heard time and time again that this holster co is one of the top ones. Now having it and wearing it, I see why it’s what everyone says. No compliants here. Also I’m a plus gut sized guy and no problems.
Charles J.
Outstanding holster from a great company. It's worth it to buy once, cry once. Money is tight for me so I spent it on the best holster I knew of. These guys make the best holsters out there for everyday carry. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I couldn't be happier!
Philip B.
Was initially worried I just spent a lot of money on something I wasn’t going to use when I saw how bulky it looked compared to my sidecar.... stuck this sucker down my pants and have never felt more compelled to write a review of an item in my life. You will NOT question if this was worth the money when you put this on.
Ronald D.
At first I thought it was going to be a little much with a mag holster and no wedge installed, considering I'm 5' 9" with a small pudge but aftering wearing all day to include sitting down and draws here and there... it became comfortable and unnoticeable. Perfect fit to-the-t and looking forward to another for my others.
Bryce P.
I was hesitant to pull the trigger given my short stature and tactical tummy! Glad I did as this is the most comfortable holster I have ever owned! I’ll definitely be back!
Marcus M.
This holster is very flexible and has great retention. The spare magazine holder that is designed specifically for the Shield Arms 15 magazine fits perfectly.
The design is very slimline and perfect for carrying the Glock 48. I would highly recommend this holster to anyone that would like a quality holster for a price that is worth the product that you receive.
I give this product five stars for the quality of holster that you receive for the price, the retention and flexibility of the holster, and the ability to customize the color scheme to your liking.
Great Holster!
Ernesto R.
I'm a slim guy and the style clothes i choose to wear is rather fit to my body. Even that being the case I've worn this holster and its undetectable that I'm carrying. I didn't have to change the size pants or shirts that i wear which is a plus. when i sit down in the car or in any place for that matter i don't feel any discomfort at all. Unless you are going for a long drive but that is a different story. in my opinion its a really great holster and shouldn't be over looked i really like this product. thank you tier 1 concealed.
Sharon B.
My gun with light fit so perfectly into this holster and it is small and weighs almost nothing which is wonderful also! Thank you for your WONDERFUL product and service. Greatly appreciate it!
Dylan J.
By far the best holster I’ve ever tried. This is my third Tier 1 holster and I couldn’t be happier with the comfort and top shelf concealability. Every part of this system is extremely well designed. It’s clear that a LOT of time went into this product. Truly couldn’t be happier!!
Mike G.
Ive tried a lot of IWB holsters over the years and like some better than others but none were even close to perfect. I tried a TIER 1 AGIS ELITE and thought it was nearly perfect until i tried the AXIS ELITE and now have found the perfect holster, fit finish etc... TOP SHELF !!!!
Edward R.
I purchased your Axis Elite in September for my P320. I have carried IWB from the 4 o'clock position for many years. I was a little hesitant as I had never used appendix carry before and couldn't get the thought from my head that it would be very uncomfortable to sit down. Happy to say that I was wrong! Drawing form the Axis Elite in the front is a much more natural movement than contorting and twisting around to get your hand to the back. I can even draw from a sitting position. Something that is very difficult from the 4 o'clock. I was also happy to discover there was no discomfort when sitting. There was a slight learning curve trying to find a good way to wear my belt and how to re-position the buckle to allow for the holster. If I had one issue, it would be that the bottom of the holster can dig a little just above your junk. I did change the position of the belt clips to raise the holster slightly and this did help, but something soft at the bottom edge of the kydex might be a suggestion. Also love the easy access to the extra magazine.
Joshua T.
Very comfortable, great retention as well. I was surprised how well I could conceal with just shorts and the right t-shirt, I have a bit of a spare tire. I love this holster and I actually almost got in trouble at work because I forgot I even had it on and forgot to take it off before leaving my truck to start my shift. It's that comfortable for me. Well worth the purchase and the wait.
Jeremy R.
Thisnis my 3rd holster from T1C. Most comfortable holster I've ever owned. I decided to get the medium sweat guard and that made it more comfortable while driving. 100% recommend the Axis Elite!
Brandon M.
I love it. The holster is very comfortable and they were able to make one that covers the compensator. I have a wedge on it and it basically disappears. Quality is undeniable. Definitely will not be my last purchase
Nick C.
Recently received the Axis Elite holster for my Staccato P and it fits like a dream. The retention is good and the spare mag caddy is awesome. Would totally recommend!
Ernie B.
Coming from the leather gun only holster to this Axis Elite it is night and day. Guys the wait is worth it! Very comfortable and the adjustability is awesome!
Nathaniel V.
Fantastic fit and finish for my Sig P365XL with a Streamlight TLR6. Comfortable and easy to load. Thanks for an excellent AIWB holster!
Matthew M.
First—customer service was phenomenal! I ordered the incorrect weapon light and they sent out the correct holster before they even received the returned one!! No questions asked and they resolved the issue!
Second—the holster is fantastic.
Will be getting some for my other firearms; highly recommended!!
Tony G.
It just doesn’t get better than this. I waiting to write this review until I’ve put some time in with this holster. After using it as my main holster for the last 8 months, I can easily say this is the best AIWB holster on the market. Pair it with a GOOD belt and you’ll after brief adjustment period you’ll forget your even carrying.
Edgar Q.
By far the best holster I have owned. Makes carrying the Sig P365 with a TLR-6 and spare mag super comfortable. You can truly see and feel the attention to detail. Will be buying again.
Richardo R.
At first I wasn’t extremely happy with this holster especially with all the time I had to wait for it. Ordered a wedge pack and this holster conceals and is the most comfortable I’ve ever owned. Love the product can’t wait for the lead times to go down so I can grab another one.
Johny S.
I love this holster! Extremely comfortable works really well with my EDC belt! It works with the contour of my body and really aides me in concealing my firearm when concealing appendix. 5 stars! Must have!
Benjamin P.
This holster is the best I've ever bought. Super comfy and flexible I often forget it's there. I got the ulti clips and they make concealing with a shirt tucked in easy. Highly recommend for anyone!
Thomas L.
Excellent.
The best holster I have tried. Spreading the load over the entire front is much more comfortable and conceals better than even the smallest single holster.
The wedges are essential. I might go for a mid height sweat guard so it doesn’t poke so much when the gun is unholstered. Maybe.
Connor G.
I love the holster and it is an awesome set up. I am very pleased with the comfort, fit, and functionality of the entire set up. It was definitely worth the wait and the price tag. I will be doing business with Tier One again.
Luis B.
One of the most comfortable appendix holster I have owned. That makes 1 out of 4 so far. Won't go in the details about the competition but I ordered the extra shock cord and clasp, the wedges and obviously the holster. It's honestly the best investment in conceal carry I've made yet. Highly recommended
Clint A.
Everything is as advertised. Only gripe is I wish It would have a distinctive click when I holster. Also I had to adjust the tightness it was too tight when I first used it.
Terence Y.
Finally! A comfortable AIWB holster for my Glock 34.
Looks like I'm never buying a holster from anywhere else.
Thanks for an awesome product Tier1 Concealed!
Joey L.
What can I say? There’s literally nothing negative to be said about a Tier 1 holster. When you buy from the best, the best is what you get. I originally carried a hybrid strong side but didn’t like the possibility of someone snatching my firearm from behind me. For me the only solution seemed to be to carry appendix and I wasn’t so sure that carry position was for me. After reading several reviews I decided I would give it a try. Now I’ll never go back. I’ll also never look at another brand of holster either. These have perfect adjustable retention and feel and conceal perfectly.
jeremy m.
Great holster, positive retention on the Glock 48, super comfortable and conceals well.
I’ve already recommended to others.
Steve M.
The craftsmanship is excellent. The fit to my vp9sk with red dot is perfect. I’m extremely happy with every aspect of my new holster.
Richard N.
This is my first AIWB and I love it! Two pieces of advice to a new AIWB carrier. First would be to buy a wedge. It helped tremendously with Comfort. Also, buy a ratcheting belt. They are game changed for AIWB. I'm very pleased and will carry this holster for years to come.
Josh K.
I have been carrying concealed for years as an LEO and now retired. By far best holster I have ever had.
Robin B.
Most comfortable appendix holster I have ever worn. The wedge system helps to make the holster more comfortable. Plus it was nice to find a holster for my Sig P320 X-carry with the TRL-7A light. Awesome product!!!
Jeremy a.
I'm a bigger guy but this holster carriers better than any iwb that I have used.
Eric B.
Fits great! Only holster I’ll ever get. It works so well I’ve gotten about 5 or 6 close friends to order one!
Joshua H.
Extremely happy with my holster! Very comfortable, gives me that nice click when I holster my weapon and looks great. I can see why so many people swear by T1C. Came with a nice bag and a couple stickers as an added bonus. Now time for some practice.
Christopher S.
These are the best appendix rigs I have found! This is my second holster from you and I don’t ever see myself using another holster company again!
Jordan L.
Absolutely awesome holster, super comfortable and concealing is a breeze, spot on shipping and lead times. 100% will buy again
Dakota H.
Amazing holster. Very comfortable and its formed amazing to the pistol. The concealment is outstanding for a full size!
Mike F.
Always buy from Tier 1!! The retention on this holsters is always spot on and that’s why I keep coming back!
Rod C.
The Axis Elite IWB holster is awesome! It is made really well. I love the sound when re-holstering...retention is superb!
For me, it's more comfortable if I wear an undershirt first. I say that because I carry a G17 with a Streamlight TLR-1 (I can hear the comments now). With two full mags its quite heavy, but hey, it alright with me!
The belt clips and claw does its job really well, but there is still some printing...slightly. But I think its because of my pandemic belly...
I didn't need to adjust how it was setup when I received the holster. Thank you T1C! Already shared with my family!
stef
Wonderful communication and quality product!
Moris S.
I have the two hottest firearm in market right now p365 and 43x. This is my second axis elite holsters and the only holsters i will run on my carry pistols. I had some changes ordering on my second holsters and these guys took care of it how I want it. You guys are the best!
Eric M.
Super comfortable and easy to carry. Bring it with me everywhere I go!
Cameron C.
Most comfortable holster i have yet to find. Would recommend to anyone.
Carson P.
Great holster! Most comfy one I own!
ALFREDO S.
The best and the most comfortable out there....Thanks
Reed M.
This is my second Axis Elite, so I could probably end my review right there. But, I love this setup so much I am writing a second review. I am using the Tier 1 small-wide foam wedge which helps with printing slightly, and really improves all day comfort. The standard plastic belt clips make it extremely easy to take the holster on and off, hold the belt very well, and make sure everything is consistent day to day. The concealment claw (with some help from the wedge) does an outstanding job of keeping the grip in close. On my P365XL I had planned to use the flush 12 round magazine, with a 15 round in the mag carrier, but the setup conceals so well I just rock the 15 round mag all the time. I did get the mag carrier for the extended magazine which helps keep the mag and gun at the same level. I have an Axis Elite for a Glock 48 with Shield Arms magazines, and have a +5 extension for one of the mags. Although I can conceal it ok, with the mag carrier at normal height on that setup it isn't ideal. Granted, the Shield Arms +5 mag extensions are not svelte, and even with the magazine carrier set lower it probably wouldn't be ideal unless you had a good cover garment. Hopefully some mag carrier height info will help prospective buyers since I have both setups. All that said, The Glock 48 with the Shield Arms S15 mags (same dimensions as stock mag) works perfectly in the Axis Elite! I regularly forget I am wearing this, and the consistency of draw from these holsters is perfection! Check out my Xiphos review if you are considering either holster.
Jacob O.
Love this holster! It is relatively comfortable, it holds the gun well, and it fits perfectly with my Light PL-Mini2 and my Romeo1. It conceals well and has great adjustability! I am very happy with this purchase!
Chris B.
Enjoyed my first one so much I bought another. I always recommend tier1 to anyone who asks where to get a holster from high quality, comfort, and ability to conceal is on a level of its own also the customer service team deserves a nod as well as production I haven’t had to have any experience with them but I’ve heard plenty of stories be patient the quality takes time! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
Casey S.
Very comfortable. Very concealable but a little pants specific. Love it.
John G.
I own a retail firearms shop. I also own countless kydex holsters and rigs. I ordered the Tier 1 holster to run personally because it was one of the few available for the Staccato C2. I assumed it would be similar in quality and comfort as many of the other holsters that I’ve had and sold. However, this is the highest quality kydex holster I’ve owned or seen. It also is by far the most comfortable kydex appendix rig that I’ve run. I don’t know what about the design makes it more comfortable, but it is. I would highly recommend this product.
Joshua W.
This holster fits really well. Not sure why anyone would purchase another brand. I’m - relatively - skinny and it fits with my “skinny” jeans.
If you’re thinking about buying one, don’t be stupid and decide not to. Just buy it!
john s.
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.
Chase S.
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.
Jonathon B.
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
Dave O

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.
