This Axis Slim is absolutely my favorite holster I’ve ever had. The quality, comfort, and precise fit for my M&P Shield is amazing. I highly recommend this holster. Thank you Tier 1 for an amazing product!
Wil D.
Thoroughly enjoying my Axis Slim!! I use it for my full size FN 509T and the 24 round spare, and I have another for my S&W 2.0 Shield. Very comfortable for long hikes, rides or just moving around. Money well spent.
Samuel C.
Right holster for the job. Secure and stable
Lisa J.
I like the idea but right now it will not work for me. I'm a bit "fluffy" around the middle and no matter how many or what size wedges I use it still looks like I'm giving birth to a baby alien. No fault of the holster and maybe when I lose weight I will love it. Until then it will go in my unused holster pile.
Adam M.
It fits the gun an is a nice smooth draw. Going to get one for some of the other I have.
Jeff F.
After a year of using this holster on a near daily basis I can say that I love it. It is way more comfortable than all the other appendix holsters I tried before it. It conceals very well and stays in place when walking, sitting, and bending down. Quality craftsmanship and a great selection of colors and patterns to choose from. Truly a "Tier 1" quality holster. Will definitely purchase from T1C for my next holster.
Derek C.
Excellent holster. It lives up to the hype. Very well built, it’s very comfortable. The ease of adjustments are great. Most of all, it conceals very well. I’m using a VP9SK with a Streamlight TLR 7 and a Trijicon RMR. I use both 13 round and 10 round magazines. This holster carries both with equal ease and comfort. It’s currently my favorite holster. I’m very happy with my purchase. There are a ton of excellent reviews for this product, and they are well deserved in my opinion.
Zach W.
Axis Slim with my G43. This is worth the money and the wait time. I absolutely love this holster and won’t wear any other brand now. Very comfortable, high quality. I love it so much, I just ordered one for my MR920!
Joshua V.
The holster is very comfortable, there are a couple of "hot spots" so may have to grab some wedges. But overall very impressed with the product.
Stephen Y.
Bought this because they don’t make the elite for the Walther ppq but it’s still the Best aiwb I’ve tried so far. Conceals better than non flex holsters and is Definitely more comfortable. My only complaint is bottom corners of the holster, I feel there’s more kydex there than there needs to be and my inner legs definitely take notice. If there was a little more taper down there and was less squared off I don’t think anyone would complain. Overall still a great holster.
Chris L.
When I’m not wearing it, she’s perfectly at home in truck! Will never buy another holster!!
Ronald G.
Very comfortable holster. Exactly what I needed. Retention is on point and concealing is great.
david c.
Had this on my radar for a year or so. Finally ordered and I can’t be happier. The construction is great, hardly know it’s there and the draw height is perfect. Love the extra mag, that has always been a hit or miss for me. Not anymore.
Jason S.
Obviously takes a few days to get used to something else in your waistband but after a bit you start to forget it's even there and just becomes a part of putting your pants on each day. I love the secure fit and ease of acess with appendix carry. Good job guys.
kyle w.
I have several tier1 holsters but this is my first one with the spare mag. This is way more comfortable than them to wear all day and conceals perfectly. It fits my FN 509 perfectly. I will be ordering one for my p365xl. Also the ez adjust system makes it so much easier to make quick adjustments. Also get the wide wedge pack it helps so much with comfort and concealability.
Tod H.
The customer service of Tier 1 is excellent. I’m new to AIWB carry and Tier 1 always came up as one of the best for that style of carry. It conceals very well. I’ve only had it 2 weeks now but a few people I trust, I’d ask if they could tell I was carrying when just wearing a T shirt. They’d say no and I’d show I had a G48 and spare mag and they’d be stunned. Still getting accustom to AIWB but so far it’s pretty positive.
Andrew G.
Love my holster. Very comfortable. Great concealment. Will be ordering more in the near future
Brandon P.
I really like the holster well-made I like the way it bends on the elastic rope it flexes a lot more if you need to bend over definitely have to wear a shirt tucked in behind it or it will rub your stomach that is about the only drawback I see with it as of right now time will tail All in all very happy with it fixing to order another one soon for my war belt
Micah B.
I’ve been carrying this guy since June of 2019 (about 2 years) and I have little to no complaints with this holster.
• The fit and finish is superb.
• My gun goes in and locks up tight with a resounding “click”.
• Easy to adjust the retention when needed.
• Flexes in the right area and the wing/claw pulls the gun into me so that the print is very low.
• Very comfortable for every day life as sometimes I even forget that I’m wearing it.
If you do more outdoors (hiking, hunting, etc) things, I would recommend a slim belt mounted OWB holster as an alternative or to be used for those specific activities. Because it does tend to dig in/rub me after doing more rigorous activities for long periods of time. But, I’m also a super skinny guy and I have zero fat on me. It might very well be a me issue.
That being said. If you’re looking for a holster that is reliable, comfortable, and will last you years to come.
This is the one.
Bryan W.
Very comfortable. Love it! Worth every penny!
JJ
Love this holster! Very comfortable! Will definitely buy my holsters from tier-1 from here on out!
austin p.
My body type makes it a little uncomfortable. That being said the product works fantastic and does what it’s supposed to. Ask for another review in a couple of months when I lose some of this weight.
Brayden W.
Great product! Durable yet comfortable enough for EDC. Definitely worth the wait!
RAY P.
This is my second AIWB first was from another manufacturer because when I bought my P365 very few companies where making holsters for it especially if you had a light.
This Tier 1 is a quality product and right out of the packaging no adjustments needed.
So comfortable especially with a small gun, but even with the same AIWB for my G45 it's comfortable.
Can't beat these holsters. Thanks guys!
Moe O.
This thing is awesome. The most adjustable and comfortable holster I own. I carry 10-12 hours a day, seated, standing, walking, and driving. No issues whatsoever.
Michael W.
I had an issue with a new holster that was improperly cut. Made a phone call, and took a few photos for an email. Email response was quick!
I used a current (3 years old) Axis Slim for comparison to the new holster, and noticed a crack in the kydex. I explained what I found, and asked if I could order a new one via phone, or if needed to use the website.
The customer service rep asked for a pic of the crack, and he dug up my original order. All this to say, they replaced the old holster at no charge, and both new holsters were at my door in less than a week!
Couldn't be happier with the holsters or the customer service!
Mike
Michael E.
Best holster I've used so far!
Nathaniel V.
I've had many holsters in the past, but none as well put together or as good looking as this one. It's easy to see the build quality in this, and perfectly suited for duty carrying all day. I absolutely love this holster and will have it for many, many years to come. Well done T1C. Very well done.
Ethan V.
Love the holster. I got the tier 1 slim because I'm a skinny guy but I do not like carrying skinny guns. Shock cord makes it fit very well against my body. Just about as comfortable as it gets while appendix carrying.
Chris E.
Definitely a quality holster. Print is minimal with a G19 with light and red dot optic. Lots of adjustments available but I found that the configuration that it was set at from the the company is the most comfortable. I plan on ordering the wedge kit to help with some pressure points due to my build. I plan on ordering other holsters from T1C for different carry positions and would and have recommended the company to my friends. Icing on the cake is that it is a USA company. Good job T1C.
Gary J.
Never was a fan of appendix iwb carry, tried multiple holster brands. Really wanted this to work because of greater conceal ability so decided to give it one last go with Tier1. Lots of people swear by them and now I can see why. This holster paired with their belt is by far the most comfortable setup I’ve tried. You have my business from now on along with recommendations to friends when asked.
Mike N.
I ordered a holster for a pistol with a mounted light. Unfortunately the item I received was for one without a light. I called T1, explained the situation and was told they would ship the correct holster the following week. On top of that they said I could keep the incorrect holster as well. In todays times, companies that offer this level of service is much appreciated. Everyone makes mistakes but not all businesses fix those mistakes. Tier 1 was awesome and all of my carry guns rest in Tier 1 holsters. Thank you!
Landon T.
Very nice the utiliclips are the shit it did come with the claw that goes up more so i needed the other one no complaints and gonna order my competition holster soon!! Recommend T1C all day
Andrew G.
Shipped when it was supposed to. Holster conceals really well even with a full size hand gun. Miss the padding from my other holster though. But it's not bad, And the more you were it the more you get used to it. Like the added spare mag capability. The belt clips are harder to change then my previous holster and require tools. But over all a good holster. Would recommend to anyone responsible enough to carry in the appendix position.
Aaron S.
Holster feels great adjustments are effective firearm fit is excellent. Very happy with the product already encouraging others to switch to the T1C system.
fernando a.
Absolutely great product that is made in the USA first of all. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the design and function of the holsters. I am really happy with my Axis Slim and thank you T1C for making an IWB holster for my Walther PPQ M2.
I spent several days looking up numerous company's and no one had an IWB holster for a full sized firearm except T1C. The numerous ways to adjust the tension, the flexibility with the bungee chord, and the different accessories makes this holster awesome. The brand was recommended by several of my friends and I am glad I listened to them because T1C delivered.
I have tried other holster brands for other compact guns and even though my holster is twice the size it actually fits comfortably and conceals better and I have a small frame as I'm 5',4". This brand is worth the money and the time it takes to arrive. Just get it cause you won't be disappointed.
Anthony T.
Great holster. I don't think the flex is as big of a deal as I thought but its a solid holster. If I were to buy it again I got a 17 X300U holster with a plus 2 mag I might try the plus 4 next time I think it sitting slightly lower might be better.
Robert P.
Excellent build quality and one of the most comfortable holsters that I have ever used. Add to that unbeatable customer service.
Craig W.
My first truly dedicated appendix rig and I absolutely love it!! I ordered the wedge kit for it as well and so far I’m really liking it. No print with my shadow systems MR920 whatsoever. It also hides my 19x superbly as well. Will be ordering another one real soon for my new 48x. Well worth the lead time and the money.
Will W.
First off, I’m not a big guy. So carrying a full size is usually not feasible for me unless it’s dead of winter with multiple layers. After toying around with a friends full-size and his axis-slim. I was sold that I needed one for my CZP07 .40. I had just put a light on it and needed a new holster. So I ordered it, lead time was dead on and delivered on I believe the 31st business day. After carrying the first day I decided to remove the claw that was to help remove printing and moved the belt clips lower to heighten where the gun sits. Due to it messing with my pants and how I move for work each day. Once I did that the holster and gun fit great. Again I’m not a large framed individual, but with this holster I can carry a full size with no issue and minimal to no printing. I don’t tuck my shirt in when carrying this gun but I could if need be. The extra mag holster was a great add on. All in all great holster. Drawing the weapon and mag swaps are simple, reholstering is simple and done with ease.
RONALD L.
Holster shipped and delivered as expected. It was a perfect fit to my firearm and mag. It also was a perfect fit for me no adjustments needed. Luv the holster and will be ordering more for other firearms I have. THANK YOU!!
Joey H.
I have several Tier1 holster products. I held off buying originally due to price and I had some other brands I liked. I bought one to try for a new handgun and loved the fit and feel. The cord hinge gives it just the right feel for appendix carry.
I love the ones I have and will continue to buy their product.
Justin A.
Excellent products but Holy sh!t the customer service. I had a problem with my Axis Slim so I made contact. They had a replacement at my door in 5 days. This is the BEST customer service I have ever received.
Eli C.
This is the best holster I’ve had so far and I love it! I got the axis slim for my canik tp9 sc and it fits rock solid no wiggle. extremely comfortable even when bending and I recommend highly
Fernando A.
It was so worth the wait and the holster is everything I expected. Great fit and there are numerous ways to make the holster fit just the way you want it to.
The adjustable tension on both the mag and gun are great and the bungee system allows for flexibility and movement. You won't be dissapointed.
Daniel S.
My new holster is everything I expected. Great product! Well worth the money. Pistol and mag are a perfect fit and offers a very comfortable fit. Also, I appreciate the tightening and adjustment pointers.
Ryan H.
For an appendix holster it’s pretty awesome. Takes some adjusting to get just right but that’s easy to do. I arranged the cord so that the knot isn’t up against my body and faced it out instead and it took care of a pressure point issue. Took some time to get it shipped but not complaining.
Troy M.
Awesome Holster. Have 3 Axis Slim. Most comfortable appendix holster I have ever had. Wear it all day in the Florida heat. So many options for comfort.
Tom C.
Having started out using a hybrid holster at around 3:30-4 o’clock, which I still enjoy using at times, due to how comfortable it is.
I found this rig and it’s placement to feel far more secure when moving around. The appendix location gives me much easier access and is much less likely to print or peek out from under concealment when going about regular daily tasks. If it does, I’m aware of it far sooner than when I carry strong side.
Having the extra magazine attached in the right placement, all the time is a big plus too. Especially since the PPS is a somewhat older single stack and is lower in capacity than newer single stack 9s.
Fit and finish are top notch.
It’s also much easier to put this rig on than the hybrid holster. I’d have to unbutton and loosen up the Kore belt quite a lot to get the hybrid holster on.
Yet another added benefit to it’s location and claw. I’m able to use the ‘larger’ 7 round mag in the pistol and have the 8 round on deck and it’s still as concealed as with the 6 round mag installed.
Brandon B.
Initially Ordered the Axis Slim. With the lead time being 30ish business days, I had second thoughts and wanted the axis elite. They had zero problem changing the order! Came at about 25 business days and I love it...really comfortable. If you’re still reading this: Just order the dang thing!
Shawn
What an amazing holster! Definitely worth the wait. The order process was simple and painless. Colors and options are plentiful. And the quality is first rate. The holster arrived with the perfect retention for my gun/spare magazine setup. I did apply some blue Loctite to all of the screws as suggested and was able to redial in the perfect retention. I can say that this is by far the most comfortable holster I’ve ever owned. Sitting, bending over and getting in and out of the truck are much more comfortable than other setups I’ve tried. It’s hands down perfect! Amazing job Tier 1! You’ve earned my respect.
Gustavo L.
Let me save you hundreds of dollars on trying to find a comfortable holster. The T1C AXIS SLIM is comfortable and concealable, rockin a G19 with an x300, I am 5'10 205LB and it works for me.
Thank you T1C
"Ill be back"
Kody M.
I've been using the Axis slim for about 3 years now for EDC and very frequent training (1-2 times per week). Absolutely the best "sidecar" type holster I've used, including the original sidecar. The flex in the middle makes all the difference when it comes to comfort. Retention is great and very adjustable, and concealment is very good even for a full size pistol. Tier 1 has become my go to for holsters.
John B.
I’ve always heard good reviews on these holsters so I ordered one. It is everything you want in a holster. I highly recommend it. Will be ordering another for my 43x MOS once the new lights come out.
Damend E.
These holsters are my favorite commercial design. Seemingly, the most effective on the market, I’ve tried several brands. But, for the price, I think they could be a bit more refined, for the sake of cosmetics. A buddy of mine broke two of these in 1 year’s time tho. I’d like to see them use a. It thicker kydex.
Richard L.
I was concerned about trying another appendix holster as a previous competitor’s one was very uncomfortable and did not conceal well. The Tier1 holsters is very comfortable and does not print even under my dress shirt. It also came perfectly adjusted for retention of my gun and magazine. You do get what you pay for.
Greg W.
The process was first class the whole way. Tier 1 was one of the only companies who offered an appendix holster in my firearm/light combo. I was kept informed the whole way and the finished product is great. Comfortable, adjustable and seemingly durable. Great work guys and gals.
Jeffrey D.
Hands down the best holster I have ever owned. So so comfortable.
Austin F.
Amazing set up! I’m a smaller guy and was having printing issues with Every IWB holster I tried until I got the T1C Axis slim. No matter what I wear now the firearm is concealed with no printing issues. Thank you for providing a high quality product.
Matt D.
This is my first rig from T1C and I love it! Quality is top notch and everything was as advertised. Slim guy, not so slim pew... but is nicely designed and out of sight.
Ahmad Z.
Amazing holster! I’ve read a lot of reviews before finally deciding to purchase this holster and have no regrets! It handles the weight of a commander 1911 with no problems and conceals it better than I thought it would. I’m definitely going to be getting holsters for my other guns from here. Worth every penny!
Robert R.
I love this holster. It's my second Tier 1 axis slim. As a Firearms instructor it is my most recommended holster for any of my students wishing to carry appendix.
John E.
This is hands down the most comfortable holster I own. Well worth the price!!!!
Moises R.
Great product, customer service was superb, the fit and comfortably discreet print allows me to carry an additional ammo supply For those times where Murphy rears his ugly head. These are the PFflyers of the holster world guarantied to make you draw 10x faster, women will love men will want to be you. Answering the question is that a gun in you pants our are you just happy to see me has never brought me so much joy. Lol thanks for the awesome product and awesome service.
Ryan S.
Unlike the other holster I purchased from Tier1 this holster is top notch. Super comfortable holding a p80 G19 and a 17 round mag on deck.
Joseph G.
Comfortable, the amount of tension out of the box was perfect. The holster still makes a full sized gun disappear under a t shirt.
Garrett R.
This holster is easily worth the money. I’m looking forward to owning another soon!
Gabriel R.
My buddy recommended Tier1 for good AIWB holsters and I ordered the acid slim cuz I liked the idea of flex between the mag carrier and pistol. I love this thing, I got a 300xua attached n honestly it’s extremely comfortable. I can even make long drives with this on n not have to readjust. I’ll definitely be ordering another one when I get either a new gun or a new light.
Brad D.
Spoiler Alert: Your wife won't appreciate you wearing this holster to bed. It's literally that comfortable. I had some holsters that I thought were good, but now they're in the dreaded drawer of "Meh" holsters. Worth the wait. My ONLY complaint is that I had to get the TLR-6 for my P365xl because it's the only light option they offered. That aside, the craftmanship is stellar. I had my doubts on it being worth the price and the wait. It is.
Kent H.
Great product!! Thank you Tier 1!!!
Jonathan I.
I already knew I would love the holster I have owned one previously this comment is a shout out to Tier1’s tier one service. I had a shipping error happen and my order was cancelled mistakingly they not only corrected the mistake but rushed my order and I had it in less then a week! Phenomenal! 10/10! Customer for life!
robert b.
Excellent Quality, form, and function...."I'll Be Back"....Thank You!
Kenroy G.
I’m a big guy. (6:2”) and I have a belly and I can tell you this is the most comfortable holster on the market. It’s worth the wait and every penny. Don’t settle for those cheap kydex holsters, you gotta protect your most expensive assets (your pew pew tools) choose Tier One
Ethan T.
Feels good. Ran some drills soon after receiving it and I was satisfied. However, even after making adjustments, I do feel that the retention could be a tiny bit better.
Overall, great purchase, highly satisfied.
scott c.
My second one - very well engineered and works great as expected.
Steven M.
Ordered the axis slim, for my G43. With extended mag +2, overall great fit an feel much smaller then you think it will be extremely concealment an comfort.
Jessica K.
You can even wear it with sweatpants and leggings!!! This is BY FAR my favorite holster and I have tried tons!
Plus, the customer service is incredible!!
Nathan Z.
This was my former go-to holster before switching to the XIPHOS V2 and separate IWB Magazine Carrier. For my build the ability to separate the magazine holster from the gun holster helped me reduce imprinting but you really can't go wrong with the Axis Slim. If I were a few pounds lighter probably would be less of an issue.
Jamison W.
Fits well and conceals good too. I will recommend it to any that ask.
Nicholas L.
Great holster! really comfortable especially considering all your carrying! 3rd tier 1 holster! There expensive but you get what you pay for
Nolan
I waited almost a month and a half because of the holidays, but it was worth the wait! This holster is super comfortable and looks great! Glock 43x with medium sweat guard.
Michael L.
Very comfortable holster! Very easily concealed with a light jacket or shirt. Great for winter carry! Out of the box the ride height of the belt claw was only on my belt about half way. But with a quick adjustment of the clamps it now lined up perfect! 10/10 recommend!
Matthew H.
This is the most comfortable holster for appendix carry I found to date. This thing is beautiful. It screams elegance and function. I conceal a Kimber Rapide easily due to the amazing flex design and claw combination. I can not say enough good about this company and product. Made fast, and delivered as quickly. You Guys Rock!
Matt-
Loyd L.
Great customer service and even better holster. Its so comfortable I forgot I had it on and almost walked into a no gun zone. If I hadn't seen the sign on the door I may have spend Christmas behind bars.
Christopher D.
This is my first time appendix carrying, and let me just tell you this is the most comfortable holster I have owned!
Bronson F.
Bought this for the Hellcat. It’s top notch.
Will S.
Hands down the best EDC holster out there for a variety of body types. I’m 6 ft 165 lbs, it conceals perfectly with my Glock 19 gen 5 even with tighter shirts. Fit and finish is top notch. This is my second IWB holster I’ve bought from tier 1 and I couldn’t be more happy with it.
Michael S.
I eyed this holster for almost 2 years and I am so glad I finally purchased it. As someone who carries every day I can say both the comfort and concealability of this holster are unmatched. The wedge pack is a great addition as well!
Clayton D.
By far the most comfortable appendix holster I have tried. Wish I would have started with This one first
Eduardo A.
Well made product. Feels comfortable wearing it more so than the other holsters I’ve had.
Connor H.
Perfection right out of the box.
Jennifer S.
Shipping took a bit long with COVID, but it was totally worth it! Super concealed even with a fitted shirt.
Cory S.
Honestly I do not like the way the claw sits, it pokes out of my pants even with a thick belt.
Jordan G.
Fits very well holds pistol well and overall comfort is great! Love this!
Dominique W.
So far, so good! Thanks guys for everything!
Chris E.
Fantastic holster. I would recommend spending the little extra for the elite or AGIS. Overall I’m very happy with mine for the hellcat. I plan to order 2 or 3 more for my others.
