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

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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!
Grayson S.
This holster was recommended by my co-workers, and I was not disappointed. Most comfortable holster I have ever worn. It is also one of the best holsters for concealing as the print profile is almost non existent
Jacob W.
This is a solid edc holster.
I have a 43x with tlr6 and it fits great. The wing attachment keeps it locked down,
And it’s incredibly comfortable. I wasn’t sure about a connected rig like this, I’m a bit bigger but it’s been the best
Holster purchase I’ve ever made and well worth the wait.
MIchael L.
Fantastic holster. Rides and carries comfortably.
Mo S.
The best holster I ever had! Slim and comfortable. Great company, customer service on point. I will recommend this holster to anyone.
Marc L.
This holster is top quality and I highly recommend it. Great company to work with.
Pier L.
So far so good. Fits comfortably. Conceals a Glock 19 pretty good. Well made with quality materials and polished finishes.
Darrell W.
Top notch holsters. The only thing that's missing from the get go is DCC clips.
Ronald V.
This is a well designed holster. There no excess material in the way which keeps the holster compact. The quality is second to none.
Isaac S.
The Tier 1 Axis Elite is the most comfortable and concealable holster I’ve ever used. I recommend This holster to anyone who is licensed to conceal a firearm.
Joseph S.
Opted for mid height guard and non extended mag carrier. Absolutely perfect holster. Yes, the price is a bit high, but the quality, and comfort is unparalleled. By far. Don't hesitate. Just buy it.
Randall G.
Tried other holsters and nothing compares. Right out the box it's the most comfortable holster I've ever had pleasure of using. I will definitely be getting more holsters holsters for my other guns and can't wait. Highly recommend for anyone carrying appendix
Guillermo B.
I was getting concerned about the lead time for this product. Reached out to customer service and they were very helpful. Soon after that my product shipped so I was stressing for no reason. I guess I was excited.
WOW. Amazing craftsmanship from this company. Looks incredible and the fit is superior to anything out there in the market. Would highly recommend this product and company.
Wes H.
I am currently running a Sig P365 in this rig, and it is super comfortable, and very concealed. Standing, driving, sitting... it beats every other concealed option I have tried, and I have 3 boxes full of holsters. Will definitely be buying more.
Conrad F.
This was my first CCW. I tried 2 others holsters and it just didnt work out well. I live in a very hot weather area so i can only wear minimal clothing year round. I simply cannot recommend this enough. If it works for me it will work for anyone! Its really good at holding tight as not to print too much on a t shirt. But my main thing it the build quality. I feel so safe wearing this holster. I've worn it for just over a year now. Nearly everyday, and it looks brand new and feels just like the day I got it. NOTHING is going to touch that trigger with how sturdy this thing is.
Ben D.
Holster looks and feels great. Conceals super well. Had a slight pressure point that was easily fixed with a medium wedge out of the wedge pack. Comfortable for all day wear and conceals like no other! Great set up.
Leland T.
Nice fitting unit. Gun fits snug with no problem of it falling or being dislodged. Fits secure and tight,
However with some blue jeans it's clips align with the belt loops and clause slight problems of attachment and removal. Expense is a concern and delay getting item, however it took less time than advertised.
Marshall B.
More comfortable and concealable than I expected. Got it for my M&P 2.0c. I prefer this over my xiphos 2.0 for my shield. I highly recommend it!
J.L. D.
Great holster! Worth the wait. You will most likely need the wedge pack for your individual comfort level and setup. I would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a serious CC holster. A+
Chris B.
Being a bigger guy, it is difficult to find a holster that is comfortable to wear appendix. The Axis Elite is the perfect holster for my body type. It's flexible center and the claw help me conceal. The price and wait are completely worth it. I recommend to anyone looking to conceal in the appendix position.
Kevin F.
I love them soo much I bought 2. I wish the claw on the light bearing holster was higher in line behind the belt but I keep my belt clips higher so it’s hard to have the best of both worlds. The claw on the non light bearing holster is perfect. I still give both 5 stars!!
Jason C.
I never leave reviews but I’m so pleased with my holster I wanted to leave a brief review. I own many holsters but this one is hands down the best. I also bought the xl wedge which helps to bring the gun closer to the body.
I had buyers remorse after spending $160 on an appendix holster for a Glock 17. I thought it would be impossible to conceal. I am 6’5” and 235 pounds and It hardly prints with just a t-shirt. I am going to order one for my Glock 43. Thanks Tier One,
Ahmad Y.
This holster is perfect. I’m a smaller guy and am still able to conceal without any printing. It looks amazing with my Sig P320 Rxp xcompact.
Manuel A.
It was well worth the wait!!!
Tyler S.
Amazing holster. Had one for my Glock 19 w/inforce apl. And had to get on for my surefire x300. Super comfortable even with the added length.
Highly reccomend!
Craig V.
Really love this holster. Best I’ve ever had. Comfortable and easy to conceal in even a minimalist shirt. Retentions great as well.
Jonathan L.
I love the holster I can’t wait to get one for my glock45
Bryce G.
Love this holster! I had the first version of the axis holster a year or so ago and when they came out with the Axis Elite, with all of the concealability upgrades, I knew I had to get one. Don't go cheap on holsters, you get what you pay for. T1C is one if not the best holster company out there.
Gerald B.
I absolutely love this holster I actually forget that I am even wearing it sometimes. The upgrades were perfect and adding the wedge was like the finishing touch.
Gerry B.
Conceals perfectly and just looks overall badass
Mitchell C.
Ok so first off a disclaimer:
I’m not a special forces operator, or secret agent, or x-leo, or hell even a volunteer firefighter. I’m just a dude. Been in construction and music industries most of my life.
I have however, carried a concealed pistol for over 25 years; mostly compact and sub compact striker-fired pistols at 4 o’clock but in the last 5 years appendix.
Here’s why I think my opinion matters:
I’m small, really small: 5.5, 125lbs.
I’m a SUPER anal-retentive, and damn near perfectionist about most things. Regarding holsters: I’ve never owned a one that I didn’t modify in some way. Furthermore, I’m fairly intelligent and mechanical inclined.
With that said I’d like to praise my Tier One holster before I criticize it. They have (in my opinion) revolutionized the appendix carry holster.
Yeah ok, credit is due to the “other” company that first came up with it. Fine. But Tier One has it pretty much down with the Axis Elite imo. This design just kicks ass what can I say. It obviously took a lot of thought and analysis to come up with this design. High-quality materials, great retention, and it conceals VERY well.
Here’s my criticism: when compared to my last holster, I’ll not name it here because that’s inappropriate, suffice it to say it’s Kydex and it’s not a side by side holster (attached mag holder) but is a premium brand.
That holster was much better fitted to my (mostly) stock Glock in general.
Would I return it if they had a no-questions-asked, open return policy? No; absolutely not.
However, I feel it could have been better fitted particularly in the front area of the pistol side where the “T1” Raised area is. I think that as their lay the T1 part looks great. However, it does, however slightly, cause an increase in print that could be eliminated. Aside from that and the fact that it is a little pricy, that’s all I got. Everything else is great.
Thanks T1 and keep up the good work
Tyler T.
It’s worth every penny! Yes it take awhile to get here so order today!
It is the most comfortable out there
Tier 1 you guys are awesome!
Scott W.
The only holsters ill wear. I wish the elite was made for left handed as well, I have the axis slim for like 4 or 5 different guns my wife has an axis elite for her glock 45 I have a glock 17 in an axis slim as my usual edc.
Todd S.
My EDC set up. The axis elite is perfect. Gives me the fastest draw and shots on target with absolutely no fear of carrying one in the chamber.
Sean F.
Most comfortable aiwb holster I've had yet. Works well with sweats and basketball shorts if you snitch em' down good. Really great product and worth every penny.
Adam C.
I could not be more thrilled with my purchase. I am able to conceal a full size, CZ P10F, as long as not wearing a tight fitting under armour type shirt. It really is remarkable. This is my first CC holster ever, and I will definitely be purchasing again for my future compact pistol purchase. I did affix large wedge, and have the multi-clip which works astonishingly well without a belt. I am in healthcare, so I am usually wearing scrub pants, with only elastic and string. You wouldn't think that could hold a full size gun, with 39 rounds, but it can. Buy this holster. You will not regret.
Eric G.
I only had it a short while but it’s extremely comfortable and flexible where it needs to be. I have already ordered another one for my other pistol. I am very happy with the quality of craftsmanship that was put into this design and extremely happy with my purchase. Y’all did an awesome job.
Joseph S.
All blacked out axis elite with a medium wedge for the Springfield hellcat. I only mention this because I couldn't really find any reviews on it or videos of anyone using it for this handgun. Hands down the most comfortable appendix carry I've tried to date. A bit bummed that I had spent so much money on other competitors holsters before finding this one. I'd like to state that while the price may seem jarring at first, I can say with confidence that this holster is worth each and every penny. The attention to detail and the comfort alone is worth the price of admission. I would recommend getting a pack of the wedges, too. Not absolutely necessary, but for a smaller person like myself that doesn't wear the baggiest of clothing, it helps with deeper concealment and makes sitting in the car for longer periods much more comfortable than it already is. But even without the wedge, it worked flawlessly as well. Just go ahead and get one. From purchase to in hands, it was about 28 days. Not bad at all. Thanks everyone over at T1C. Happy customer for life.
Brandon W.
Just buy it already!!! If you’re like me you watched countless videos on this holster. Yes it’s as good as everybody says. Yes you should buy it. Yes lead times are long but the sooner you order the sooner it will arrive! My set up is a Glock 19 with a tlr7a and a 507c v2.
Adam R.
Best concealed appendix holster!! You will not regret this model. I own two, one for my Glock 19 and another for my glock 43. They are super comfy to conceal.
Eric B.
I now own three of these and they are by far the most comfortable and safest holsters I have ever had.
Keep up the outstanding work guys.
George H.
It’s a nice holster if you want to wait 6 to 7 weeks for it!
Scott A.
I have always scoffed at appendix carry as it never worked for me before. A few people I work with let me try their T1C setup and I liked it. I decided to pull the trigger and I couldn’t be happier with the holster. My line of work depends on conceal ability as a plain clothes LE Officer. I will now exclusively use T1C!
Ray L.
Anyone that is on the fence about getting a Tier 1 holster should not hesitate to buy one. All around a great IWB holster. The fit and feel is second to none. I will be ordering one for my G43 as well. Thanks for a great product Tier
Kevin H.
was looking for a good concealed carry holster and tried a few others, I could never get the right fit or draw from the others. I purchased the Axis Elite due to friends raving about the quality and I can say first had its the best concealed holster I have ever used with my Glock G-45. I dont go anywhere now with out and its not a burden to carry and wonder if I am showing anywhere. The draw is smooth and the appendix carry is comfortable. Looking to buy another for my G43x next.
Mason M.
By far the best holister I have ever tired. The price is up there, but I havent ever had a such a comfortable kydex holister nor one that conceals this well. In my opinion, it is worth the money. Can't go wrong.
