Conceals excellently! Best holster I have used.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I absolutely LOVE this holster. I'm petite, but it fits so well. And the quality is amazing. I'm excited to wear it each time :-)

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.

This is one of the most comfortable holsters, That I have ever bought. 100% would buy again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

"Fit for a King" -@Traeger.King

Thank you for the quality product! I will be ordering more items soon!!!

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

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.

Color isn’t quite what I expected, but it has grown on me. Great holster

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!

Works just liked advertised. It’s very comfortable.

Hands down the best concealment holsters I've ever used!

This is by far the most comfortable holster I’ve ever had. Great fit, workmanship and quality. Keep up the good work.

Excellent holster

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.

Great product. Nice fit and comfortable to wear.

By far the most comfortable holster I have ever used! Bought another for my CZ I loved this one so much!

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!

Best holster I’ve ever had. It is a little pricy which is why I was hesitant, but so far I love it.

Both my sons are using this rig and love it.... I’m next. It’s worth the wait!

Awesome holster and has met my expectations. Keep up the great work!

Great build quality, super slim, and comfortable to wear. I would recommend this to anyone that appendix carries.

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.

Great quality holster. It’s low key, comfortable and my G19 with APLc fit perfectly. Will purchase another in the future.

Great comfort and concealability, with excellent craftsmanship.

Great, comfortable holster

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.

Good

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.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely the best holster that I have used

First holster, did my research, this is worth the money.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect Fit, super comfortable!!

It was expensive but when I got it it was worth it

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Very well made and conceals extremely well for me being a skinny guy.

Love the holster.

Better than expected! The fitment is very precise. Conceals extremely well!

Tier 1 has a great product! Comfortable holster!

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.

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.

I own the Agis, Axis Slim, & now the Axis Elite & they are the most comfortable holsters I’ve ever worn.

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.

Great communication during ordering process. Perfect fit.

Great great great holster when I first bought my gun they told me I will go through several holsters and they were right it wasn’t until I got to this one that it felt,knew it was the one !!! I was skeptical about pointing a barrel down to the family jewels but the retention comfort and overall quality of this holster is amazing !! I am so satisfied !! I may not shop for holsters anymore but maybe a weekend holster or edc for my vehicle and or accessories but beyond happy with my holster !!!

Exact fit couldn't have asked for anything better, I originally thought it wasn't going to be as good as it was hyped up to be for the price. But when I received it and adjusted retention fits like a glove and well worth ever bit of the price. I'm considering on buying 2 more in the near future.

I love this holster! I came from alien gear. After seeing alot of good things on youtube and other reviews, I made the jump. Sure, they might be more expensive then a couple of manufacturers, but the quality and the way I can conceal my 19 is amazingly better than the others. Took a little extra time because of the Corona virus, but I was expecting way more. Will definitely be getting one for my 43x. 10/10 would buy again.

I love Tier 1 Concealed products. This is my second Axis holster. With a tremendous amount of kydex holster making companies, I prefer to use a proven design from a company with a reliable track record. I have experience in federal law enforcement, as well as personal protection. I can assure you my opinion carries considerable weight when it comes to choosing the right gear for the job in firearm concealment. I recommend sticking with these holsters over other inferior designs.

Love it

After using other appendix carry holsters I was starting to give up on appendix carry all together. Other holsters either don’t conceal well or are very uncomfortable. Then I decided to try one last holster. That was the axis elite. This will be the last holster I buy. It conceals better than any holster I’ve ever owned and is far more comfortable as well. 10/10 would recommend.

I think it's honestly a very well built holster! I'd like to see in the future, the idea of a hybrid version of this design perhaps, maybe with a leather backing and only using half the kydex with a built in wedge into the system! That would top everything out there! But overall love the build and quality, very comfortable after utilizing both wedges on the holster.

Loving my Axis Elite. Conceals my Glock 19 well and rides very comfortably. I went with the black carbon with blue cord and I’m delighted with the look. Great work team. Liked it so much that I ordered another with room for my Inforce weapons light. 10/10 would recommend.

Love this holster for my M18. It fits well and adjustung it was easy. Once it was set up it is comfortable and can wear it all day with no issues. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a IWB holster.

Concealable, comfortable, functional. I was not expecting how comfortable this holster would be. It conceals a G19 as well as my M&p shield in a similar style holster. I tried a bunch of great holsters but this one is next level!

This is my first experience with a more expensive holster. I loved it right out of the box. I’m a bigger guy, and have always been nervous of printing. I felt like my handle was always poking out. With this holster I immediately lost all my worries. Even with the +2 mag extensions on my G43 mags it conceals great. I would, and already have, recommend tier 1 to anyone looking for a holster.

Smooth draw! Doesn't feel like there is much holding it when I draw but when I try to dump the gun it doesn't fall! Its the most comfortable appendix holster I can find for my body type (5'9", 156lbs) it leaves room for what I want to do to my gun, add an optic, comp, extended spare mag but will still run smooth with out the cool looking stuff on my gun. Awesome job T1C!

My 2nd Axis Elite. Best AIWB Holster money can buy!

Good quality, I'm on the fluffier side of tactical panda, so I'm still trying to see if this holster will work me. No complaints, I do think 2 sets of wedges should come with it, cus you need to play with each size and pretty much destroy the sticky bottom to test them.

The wait felt like forever, but it was worth it! I received mine for the G19X with a TLR7A and it is easily the best concealed holster I’ve owned. I’ve carried all over the world with a list of holsters and this one is the most comfortable and concealable. If you’re doing your research, which you should, stop here. Essential kit for any handgun owner.

Great fit and finish. By far the most comfortable holster I have worn, which is good because I carry every day. I am very happy with this product.

Super happy with the holster and the awesome customer service!!!

So far, I love this thing. Thanks y’all I’m telling ALL my friends

Hands down the best holster I’ve ever owned. If I have one regret in life it’s that I didn’t pick one of these up earlier. Was always kind of hesitant to spend that much on a holster but it’s worth every penny. You won’t be disappointed.

I honestly love this IWB holster use it almost everyday and the color option are great! Very well molded! Keeps the gun the and clip well held in! Very great holster would purchase another if I ever needed one!

Hands down the most comfortable iwb holster I’ve used. Bought the wedge pack, probably won’t use them. The flex with the rip cord really aids in comfort and concealability. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a phenomenal holster. Thanks Tier 1!

An in-depth review of my experience with Tier 1 Concealed. What this review will cover - Product Shipping Customer Service Value Recommendations Why my opinion might matter Product: My initial purchase with Tier 1 Concealed was placed for a Axis Elite Holster. Upon receiving the holster it was immediately tested for fit and retention with the firearm intended for it. The fit of holster is just spectacular and is exactly what you would expect from a high quality kydex holster. I would like to say though, that out of all the holsters I've had the pleasure of owning, the structure and craftsmanship of these unit has to either be the best I've ever seen or close to it. The retention is fantastic and is exactly what you would expect from a high-quality kydex holster. Adjustment of the retention is a snap and very responsive, can't ask for much more. After fit and retention tests, it was time to move onto actually affixing the product onto myself to test its wearability. The design of this holster is just uncompromisingly stealthy. Although nervous about testing this holster for printing, I was glad to find that, as many others have said, my firearm all but disappeared on me. Furthermore, the know factor of this holster is unbelievable for me. I often times find myself forgetting that it is there. Shipping: My order was placed on March 1, 2020. Lead times at the time of purchase were 10 to 15 days for the crafting of this holster. The holster was marked shipped on March 16, 2020, and was on my doorstep March 18th, 2020. In other words, Tier 1 Concealed was right on money with their lead times. Customer Service: Tier 1 Concealed did an excellent job answering any and all questions that I had leading up to the purchase of the holster. They made communication simple and easy to understand. This is exactly the type of customer service you should expect from any company and they did well to provide that level of service. Value: This is the most expensive holster I have bought, and will likely ever buy, and I'm going to assume that will be the case for just about everyone reading this review trying to make up their mind on if they should purchase this holster. In my opinion, I think this holster should be the standard for the quality you are purchasing; meaning that, this holster and it's price point should be the industry standard for those looking to make and sell similar products. This should be the pioneering point that all other innovation stems from for this type of holster. And for that reason alone, I think it's value is exactly where it should be. Recommendations: After having experienced Tier 1 Concealed, my recommendations for this company aren't to fix any part of their product or process at all. My recommendation for Tier 1 Concealed is to keep innovating new and exciting holsters for their consumers. Why my opinion might matter: For the past few years, I have been trying to find the ultimate setup for HCP for those of us that have limited options to carry due to handicaps, work, or lifestyle. My ultimate goal has been to find the setup that allows me to not have to "dress around the gun" and still keep my attire fashionable and comfortable. I find this to also be a problem that many women have with carrying, and I feel like I have personally found that sweet spot for those of us, men and women alike, that wear more form-fitting clothes. I also come from the perspective that I have to find something that allows me to carry comfortably because of my hips and back having had many operations done on them in my lifetime due to me being a bilateral amputee. My recommendation for this company comes, knowing that all of my above needs and specifications, and in this case, more were met by Tier 1 Concealed. The hype around their products is well founded, and I am glad to have purchased and trust my life to their products.

Fantastic holster, definitely worth the money. This is most comfortable and most concealable holster I've ever worn.

Best holster I’ve ever had

I’ve held off from upgrading because I wanted Black Point Tactical to come out with competition. I previously used their Mini wing and Dual Point light mounted AIWB holsters. At the time, it was the only holster that was commercially available that fit tac lights I had in 2013 that I could find. I’ve even customized mine with similar features and sent them to the company in hopes they would update. Anyway, I was then between the T1C Axis and T-Rex Arms Sidecar. After seeing the update to the Axis, the Axis Elite, I decided to purchase. After applying loctite to all the screws to which it’s been a sturdy and reliable holster. It conceals better and the addition of the wedge, added comfort. For what it’s worth, at the time of this review, it’s been about a month, I’m 5’9” 180 lbs with a slight dad bod. Highly recommend this holster.

Little backstory, I had given up on Kydex holsters for IWB carry, ESPECIALLY appendix. Tried several others, even one's in similar price points and they were always uncomfortable or just plain painful. I switched to leather holsters and didn't look back for years. I kept seeing people I followed on social media, and a few gunshop owners reccomend these with way too much enthusiasm. I finally bit the financial bullet and got the AXIS Elite with ulti clips for my G43x. SO WORTH THE WAIT! To begin with, it is SO COMFORTABLE. GIve a few minutes and figure out how to make it work for you, but oh man it is comfortable. More importantly that sucker stays on to your body like a glove, amazing how easily it hides a gun. Would be very easy to hide a much larger gun than mine with this rig, I would have saved so much money in holsters over the years if I had just bought one of these in the first place. Definitely reccomend and look forward to buying more holsters from them. Great job Tier 1 crew.

The holster I had bought is absolutely perfect. It fits the gun perfectly and still does after I adjusted it to fit my magazine and CCW the way I want it. It is light and I can barely feel it on me as I walk and carry it throughout the day. I will definitely be buying another one for whatever gun I buy next. Thank you Tier 1 Concealed!

Best holster I have ever tried. I accidentally ordered mine with the incorrect light, when I received it I realized what I had done, called T1C explained myself and they told me to send it back and they would fix it. They didn’t have to do that, 100% my mistake, great product, great customer service and I am now a customer for life. Trying to decide what owb holster I want now.

Been a LEO for 25 years and have tried many holster systems. The Elite is the best fit and most comfortable of all of them. No break in period needed. I totally forget I’m wearing a G43x and extra mag.

Without a doubt the best holster I’ve ever had! Perfect fit, amazing retention and very comfortable. Ordered the wedge system after receiving the holster and that adds to the comfort and better concealment. Highly recommended!!!

For the first time I can carry both pistol and extra clip comfortably and it rides perfect for quick draw. Thanks Tier 1 and John Lovell for bringing this to my attention.

This is by the FAR the most flexible and comfortable appendix rig I’ve used. I have other Solid kydex appendix holsters by the competitors, it is pricey but very much worth it.

Very happy with my New holster. Fit and finish are perfect and comfortable.

The fact that the holster flexes in the center is not just a gimmick or a colored cord to look cool, no it makes it more comfortable, 10 times more comfortable. This holster you will be happy with.
