I got this holster with an XL sizing wedge for my Glock 19x. I am a bigger guy so I didn’t think appendix would be and option. But with the wedge and holster paired with a strong EDC belt the 19x is easily concealed. Strongly recommend this holster to anyone looking for an appendix rig!
JASON S.
Perfect fit right out of the box! I already ordered a second holster. Awesome job!
John H.
Great quality holster for the money, no sharp edges everything’s been rounded off and smooth where it needs to be. The holster also came with a drawstring bag which was an added bonus if you’re thinking about getting a T1C holster do it definitely worth it
Clay H.
Good quality holster

This is a XIPHOS V2 with a Glock 43 and streamlight TLR-6. This setup can be a little wide so just a warning. I’m changing up the claw and ulticlip set up to help narrow it a bit.
Seng L.
I’m glad I went with Tier 1 holsters. When I receive my Xiphos V2 and Axis Slim.You can tell right away that this was a Great Quality made holsters. No adjustment needed, the guns fit perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an amazing, comfortable and great quality holsters.
Mike L.
Really enjoying the xiphos v2. Its a great fit and conceals really well!
Gregory s.
Holster keeps p229 snug to my body and with a proper fitting cover garment is concealed well. Good product. I can carry a p229 all day w no discomfort
Hector L.
Is good so far , the only complain so far is , I was trying to adjust the height of the clips , and it was really hard . Plus It look like no matter how I adjust them one is always higher than the other .
John N.
I bought a XIPHOS V2 with UltiClips for my EDC 4" Springfield Armory Range Officer Compact. I didn't honestly have the highest expectations that this rig would be all that much different than the 5-6 other IWB holsters that I own but I wasn't happy with any of them. I have been very surprised and am now ready to dump all of those other rigs. The Xiphos fits my SA perfectly and is properly adjustable for tension with a good cant which is adjustable if needed. I am sold on the UtilClips as opposed to the J-hook style of belt loop. The clips grab either the top hem of whatever pants or shorts that I wear or the hem and a belt if I so choose securely and don't let go. The holster sits in perfect position for me using the Appendix Carry position and carries very comfortably in every position from seated to standing and moving around. The concealment claw is solid (as opposed to a loose and poorly designed style on another big-brand/big-dollar holster that I own). The claw does what it is intended to do and puts good pressure on the pant/belt keeping the handgun butt tucked in snugly but comfortably while ensuring the best concealment possible. Don't waste your money on other rigs, this is the company to trust with its wide array of styles, colors and options.
Matt B.
Very high quality holster! The holster itself has a large-ish footprint which isn’t very desirable for carrying a small gun (Glock 43), but overall it isn’t too bulky or hard to carry. I will definitely buy more holsters from Tier 1!
Troy J.
This is a very very well made holster. Straight out of the box my hellcat fit perfectly with great retention. I got the ulticlips with it and while i still need some time to play around with them they work just as advertised. Once clamped down that holster isnt coming out until you unclamp it. The one slight issue i do have is that the last few days ive noticed blue paint marks on my gun. Nothing major and can be rubbed off it seems for right now but it still happens. Otherwise this is a great holster and ill be buying my next from here very soon!
Matthew M.
By far the best and most comfortable holster I've used. Even while appendix carrying a full sized pistol, the Xiphos V2 makes me forget that I'm even carrying. Easily concealable in both winter and summer clothes.
Definitely buying from Tier 1 for any future holster needs.
Bryan B.
Absolutely love my tier 1 holster. I have 2 now. I teach a CCW class and suggest it for all my students.
Everardo G.
Love it and ready to order more
Shane K.
I thought that this thing would be good. It's not. It's great. The quality is simply out of this world and I still can't believe that a holster can be this comfortable. Buy it. If you don't like it message me. I'll buy it from you.
Jarred E.
By far the most comfortable holster yet. I coupled this with a foam wedge and absolutely love it. Can carry my xds9 all day with comfort and very good concealability. Can be a bit of a hassle to adjust the clips for height and cant, but otherwise great!
Jason S.
Just got it in the mail today. Right out of the box the Holster was a perfect fit. Thank you very much for such fine work. Will be ordering again soon!
Jeremiah C.
I carry all day everyday. The Xiphos is, by far, the most comfortable iwb holster I have ever worn. Period.
Shay L.
Did you miss the picture?? Thats how well it's concealed. Easily the best most comfortable holster I've owned. Ulticlips are da Bomb!
Joseph C.
This is a very quality holster. I struggled to conceal the holster with both clips on it. I finally removed the front clip and have been carrying it with one clip. It conceals very well for me that way! Two changes I would suggest are 1. Apply a slight cant toward the body on the front of the holster or attach the front clip with flexible material to make it more easily concealed. It doesnt pull to your body well since it is ridgid. 2. Make the front clip more easily adjustable. It is difficult because you have to cram your fingers down in the holster to hold the screw head while you retighten it. All in all a very nice holster and I enjoy wearing it!
Matthew B.
So sweet! I really enjoy carrying this holster. It’s really comfortable and I love how it presses snug against the body ! You guys are Killing it !
Christopher T.
Absolutely love this holster! Fits my Glock 43x and rides great on my belt, and never have to worry about it. Great fit and finish! Looking to get an Axis Elite for my Glock 19 now!
Keith C.
very comfortable holster, allows freedom of movement
Jasper Q.
Great holster for strong side carry as well.
Nathan L.
Great holster, very minimalist and comfortable
Nathan L.
Perfect size holster for minimalist setup. Very comfortable.
EDDIE G.
Top quality holster. Conceals my Gen 5 Glock 19 like a dream. I work, and carry my gun about 12 hours everyday, and is not cumbersome whatsoever. Will definitely do more business!
Ryan C.
Dope holster, lot of adjustments are available. This combat masters a bit much with 5.4” barrel appendix carry... Probably order an owb for it too..love the vivid purple. Thanks T1
Dante K.
I really really like this holster. I would say the only thing I didnt like is how long it takes to get it.
Craig K.
Like most folks, I have multiple options when it comes to IWB holsters. My son recommended the Xiphos and I couldn’t be happier. It is by far the most comfortable holster I own. The double belt clip and wing make for an incredibly secure fit.
Luke D.
I love the holster! It’s super comfy and allows me to carry my G26 all day long
Nathan C.
I spent a lot of time looking for a holster to fit the Glock 17 that was comfortable. This holster from Tier 1 Was affordable, and allows me to conceal and carry. The extra craw does a great job of compressing my handgun close to my body.
Travis C.
It’s an excellent holster. Period. Quality from tip to tail. There’s a reason so many of my fellow range officers use them for personal carry. It’s different than my previous appendix holster (ride height, for example), so there’s some getting used to. I was still figuring out exactly what I needed, so I may need to trim the sweat guard down to a more medium height, but that was a realization on my end, not any mistake or flaw on Tier 1’s part. Excellent work. Thank you for a quality product.
Isaac L.
Well made, and good retention.
Jordan C.
This is a great holster! This is the 3rd Tier 1 holster that I have purchased and I don’t see me owning any other brand. I do own an Axis Slim for my other firearm and I will say the Axis is more comfortable but I think it’s because I haven’t worn this one enough to get the feel for it. Either way I am extremely happy with my purchase and I will definitely be ordering another holster from Tier 1 in the future.
Grable W.
My first true AIWB holster. Fit and comfort are great. Seems to be high quality, but i'm only a few weeks in. This holster and a Glock 43 are very concealable and comfortable. I'm able to sit, squat, and move with no adjustments needed. I'm running the Ulticlips, which I've been very happy with. They grab clothing well and hidr behind a belt. I will say that this configuration stilldoes but really permit tucking in your shirt, or at least I haven't figured it out yet. Finally, I got the optic cut and suppressor height sights just in case of future upgrades and everything is working fine with my night fision tritium sights.
Daran H.
Makes my Glock 43 invisible!
I have worn a couple of Tier 1 rigs, all of which are very impressively made. In my opinion, this holster is worth every penny. When worn properly, this holster eliminates all printing, even with a +1 mag extension. Not to mention, easy to defend, and lightning fast!
Brody D.
I absolutely love my axis holster so I went and bought the xiophos hoping for the same. It doesn’t conceal as well as the axis but the quality is still there. I will continue to use Tier1 as I am now a fan boy and I will continue referring ppl to you (2 have already purchased) but this holster just didn’t work as well for me. I will get another axis when I scrape up the doe. Thank you to everyone who ensures y’all put out a quality product!
Dessica D.
Great quality. Reliable.
Dr Anthony J W.
Certainly do not like the two plastic clips on V2; on prior V1 of this holster there is a metal clip which is much more functional and easier to use.
Scott A.
Love the fit and adjustability to how tightly the holster holds my firearm. I was anticipating the overall height to be a little lower toward the belt line, but it works beautifully and remains completely concealed. I wear it as often as possible so I can adjust to appendix carry, as this is my first time. Would gladly recommend to a friend.
Ian J.
I was recommended this holster by a friend as my first IWB, and it's pretty comfortable!
Joe F.
Due to a glitch,they don't make the xiphos holster for my Beretta. But,after they realized their mistake,they took the time to call me and upgrade me free of charge to the axis slim. This is my second one of these,and soon to be my third. So needless to say,if you carry aiwb, try this holster. Paired with their wedge it's extremely functional. I'm also happy to see that they owned their mistake,and took the time to correct it.
Jason J.
Got my Xiphos 2 in Kryptek Nomad and it's awesome. Retention is amazing and the new dual belt clip system keeps it locked in place on my belt. I love Tier 1 Concealed products, recommend them to friends, and will continue to get all my holsters from Tier 1.
Mario G.
I love my holster! Excellent quality! I purchased a total of 4 holsters through the course of a few years and I am 100% satisfied! I love the fact you respond to all questions and concerns! God Bless! Keep America Great!
ANDREW W.
Got this holster for my Archon. I has a great fit and no moving around when I have it on. The inside of the holster is like glass. the gun comes out quickly and smoothly. I really like the carbon fiber look. Nice job. Now I need a holster for it to accommodate a WML.
Wyatt B.
It’s awesome! I can easily conceal a glock 17 in my shorts and t shirt
Nevin L.
I love Tier One, had the Axis Slim on my M&P 2.0. When I switched to the Glock 45 I had to fit it with a Tier One Holster so I chose the Xiphos V2 as I didnt want the extra mag this time and im glad I did. The 45 is a bit bigger than the 2.0, and I did add a light as well, but the holster is a lot more bulky than I would have thought. Build quality and retention are all 10/10, but the extra bulkiness of this holster is the only holding me back from a full 5 stars.
Alex W.
Best appendix carry holster I've had. I'll be back for more.
larry y.
Very happy with my purchase
Johnny M.
Still new to the holster. Shipping is long. It took approximately 14 days to ship and 3 days to recieve. As for the item itself I am still breaking it in and adjusting it to my liking.
Jesus L.
Awesome quality and comfort. Now that I used it I’m going to purchase a couple more for my other guns. Thank you very much
Charles P.
Fits perfectly and is super comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Tier 1 again.
Joshua R.
Fit and finish was very good, and very comfortable. I wish I would have started Appendix carry a long time ago
Thomas T.
Excellent option if you’re not worried about carrying an extra mag, and don’t want to break the bank.
I’m a thin guy who primarily wears gym shorts and fitted shirts. I don’t like going full metal jacket for EDC, so the XIPHOS is perfect for me.
Added the Ulti-Clips and I was ready to go.
Cody R.
Love this holster was a little nervous how well it would conceal seeing I’m literally 120lb with a 28” waist but it fits and feels like a dream, even with the high sweat guard I feel no discomfort bending, sitting or doing any everyday activities don’t get me wrong you know it’s there. This is my first holster of any kind and I’m very happy with my decision of going with this one
Ben K.
Grade A holster. It did take a bit longer than I would have liked to ship, but I'm quite pleased with the product. I use the Utiliclips with a claw and carry a G19 (Gen4) with an X300U-b. Is hands down the most comfortably fitting holster I've had yet. I have noticed some things that could be worked out in production and to notify future buyers. The holster is specifically molded for the b series X300u, and I've noticed it is so fitted it can catch and unscrew the light's tension-er if I'm performing repeated/quick succession/long session of draw training. The Claw itself is a little too narrow (not wide enough/slips under the belt) for my belt choices when utilizing the utiliclips. My solution was to either take the claw off, adjust the cant slightly, or switch to the overhooks. These are just things I've noticed after weeks of wear, and I'll stick with it, because it's still the best fitting, most comfortable holster I've ever had
Manuel V.
I am new at concealed carrying and this holster has made it very easy for me to get used to it
Jay A.
Excellent retention. Very happy. Looks good too
Stephen S.
One of the best fitting and looking holsters I’ve had so far amazing quality and service I will definitely be returning for my other pistols!
Brian
Awesome holster
Got this for my new P365. I got an Axis Elite for my 43x before this which is great, but I decided to go for a more minimalist and concealable approach. This fits the bill. I chose this because I like the added stability of two clips when getting a purchase on the gun.
I wear fairly slim polo shirts (untucked) to work every day, and with the flush fit magazine it almost completely disappears. The only printing to speak of comes from the left clip, which sticks out just a bit. I might end up upgrading to the ulti-clips for a little extra conceal-ability but for now it works great.
I also tried both a small and medium wedge on this one. Small was the ticket for me, as it was just enough padding to relieve the pressure of the holster against my hip and keep the gun tucked in. The medium created too much of a bulge in my waistline (in all the wrong places).
Highly recommend T1C for all holsters.
Luis Gonzalez
Excellent equipment
In my opinion, tier 1 is probably the best holster makers on the market. This holster is my second holster I have from Tier 1 for my Glock 30. It is my favorite gun to carry in the winter and this holster makes it easy to conceal and draw regardless of what I wear. I typically shoot 2x per week and shoot between 2-400 rounds per week. This holster has held up very well and is comfortable.
Cole T.
This is the best of the many holsters I've purchased. Fit and finish is superb.
Michael R.
Perfect. Just as ordered. Very pleased.
Richard C.
product performs as advertised. Very happy with it.
Steven M.
This holster was great. Everything that I wanted
Steven R.
Excellent holster. The wing helps a lot with it pressing into your gun belt on your waistline. The clips and retention are great on the holster as well. Paired with a good belt and proper fitting you won't need to look for another holster again.
Monte
Excellant holster
Excellant quality and claw is great! Love the 2 clips. Fits my G23 4th gen. perfect.
Rod
Damn fine holster
This is my second Xiphose holster (SA 1911 w/APLc) and the version 2 is a great upgrade because the 2 UltiClips keeps The Glock 21 w/APL Gen 3 tucked in tight to my appendix and jelly roll belly.
Nathan
Great quality kydex, very comfortable, conceals well.
I bought this holster for my M+P Shield. The kydex is quality and holster is constructed solid. I can conceal my Shield even with shorts and fitted t-shirt in the summer. Best IWB holster I've for this gun. Don't forget Tier1's wedge system. Makes a huge difference in additional concealment and comfort when sitting or in awkward positions that can potentially pinch. Thanks
Tom
Great holster, but scratches the gun
This holster works great and fits my P320 very comfortably.
Unfortunately, it is scratching my brand new pistol every time I take it in and out of the holster (I've even loosened the screws to make it better but that didn't work).
The scratches are not too visible at first glance so that's the only reason I'm taking one star off.
This holster needs some kind of thin padding on the inside of it to help prevent this damage.
W. Bennett
CZ P10C fit
Grabbed one of these because of the reviews, and the reviews definitely live up the hype for Tier 1. Works wonders with my suppressor ready P10C. I am a larger guy and I’m still able to appendix carry comfortably with the xiphos. Just need to cut some weight and get me an axis slim next.
David
The Best in the Business
I've had a lot of holsters in my day. Vedder, TRex Arms, Galco, De Santis, etc. Tier 1's Xiphos is far and away the BEST holster I've ever had. Not only does it conceal my P226 and TLR1HL setup AMAZINGLY, but it's incredibly comfortable despite the size of the gun with the light. Even carrying appendix, I barely notice I have it on me. These guys are easily an 11/10, and they have my business for all of my holster needs in the future.
Blake
Love my new holster
I love this holster. Finally found one that fits comfortably and is super concealed!
Justin Hise
No need to think, just buy it
I’m blown away by the utility of the Xiphos! I’m not as thin as I once was(dad bod amirite), and I was worried that I might not be able to conceal my g45 with a tlr1. Not only can I carry without any discomfort, but it is printless. I have another appendix rig for my shield from another company that will be taking a back seat for a looonnggg time. I’m sold and T1C will forever have my business
Taylor Martin
Best in the game
By far the best holster i’ve used for my Glock 19.
Comfortable, Conceals magnificently, The retention is just how i like it with an audible click when I re- holster. The holster doesnt move around when i draw from it either.
A++
I will be ordering this holster for the rest of my guns from here on out.
Or until Tier 1 comes out with an even better one ;)
KMac
P365 Fit
Very happy with my Xiphos for my p365. Weapon locks in great and is very concealable. The medium cut hight leaves plenty of room for a future red dot installation.
Wayne Ellison
Great Holster
Bought for my P365, in the midst of losing weight and it still conceals like a dream. Super comfortable as well even with the high sweat guard. Think I prefer this over my Vedder Lightuck.
Ryan Gill
Xiphos
This was the second holster I have purchased through Tier 1 and all I can say is well put together you will not waste your money. I do feel for my body type the Aspis holster has been more comfortable. That being said I still like how the claw on the Xiphos pushes against my belt pushing the gun back up against my body. Well designed, well thought out will purchase again once I buy a new handgun.
OlliePop
Awesome holster, would be 5 stars if they had molds for XDS mod.2s!
conceals my g19 w TLR-7 better then any holster yet, & I love the ulti-clip which eliminates a lot of bulk & adds options to pants you can conceal with, I can conceal with basketball shorts or no belt comfortably now!! The woodland camo looks pretty good too
Jimmy Lawrence
Simply Amazing
This holster is by far the most comfortable I've ever worn. I have quite a few holsters and this one conceals my S&W Shield 9 to the point where it's invisible on my dad bod. I LOVE IT! Well worth the money. I can bend down and help my toddler just like I'm not wearing a holster, I can sit comfortably without adjusting my pants and it doesn't jab awkwardly into my body.
One thing that everyone is psyched for and I am as well, is the wing. It pushed the handle into my body, but not so much that it's uncomfortable. It's just enough to completely hide my weapon.
I can't get enough. I'll be buying the full rig soon. I love it.
Thank you Tier1!!!
Carter
Game changing
This holster changed concealed carry for me. I used to conceal a full size pistol at 4 o’clock but concealing was a nightmare. With this holster my pistol VANISHES! It’s comfortable, even though I have a bit of a gut and with the tuckable clip you can adjust the cant to your liking
I carry the Sig P365 with no problems. Well worth it
Will
Great Holster and plenty of options
Holster is great but more that than it is extremely helpful to have a company out there with as many options as Tier 1. As a left handed shooter with a taste for some of the less common handguns these guys have been the only place I can go to reliably get what I am looking for.
Keep it up.
Christian Stolba
Just buy one already!!!!!
I have just ordered my 3rd XIPHOS holster. I have one for a full size (5") 1911, one for a Archon Type B that both completely disappear in jeans and a t shirt, and This new one is for a full-size M&P 2.0. I live on Long Island in New York, not the most gun friendly place to live, people completely over react to seeing a gun, but with these holsters I've never had to experience that. It is literally invisible. Oh yeah I also have a AGIS for a CZ P-01 (which I often run without the mag carrier) I love the versatility, excellent concealment with that as well. So stop reading reviews and just buy one already...
Joshua Decker
Xiphos
All and all pretty comfortable, but really expensive. Clip is super bulky hoping to switch it out if possible it doesn't really fit with a normal belt and I don't have any "tacticool" edc belts.
Joshua Nichols
Best Glock 19 holster I have owned
I’ve head custom Kydex holsters from 4 different companies. This is by far the best. This XIPHOS is perfect for appendix carry or carrying at the 3 to 5 o’clock position. I carry appendix most of the time but I carry at the 4 o’clock position in a suit and jacket.
Rj
Works great . Wish it was a little more comfortable
Didnt think this holster would work out as well as it does for me.
Because i have a bit of a bigger stomach it actually helps me conceal it more. The only thing i wish i could add is some type of foam or cushion for the holster when carrying it. It digs into my crotch and gets slightly sore when wearing it for more than an hour
Aspen
Shop around before paying for the name
Got this holster for my legion, and believe me it fits great. However, the clip is kinda bulky and needs to be switched out for a thinner one unless you want a corner poking out. Also another reason the clip should be switched out is because it curves forward (regardless of how you angle it) which is nice but drives the holster into your stomach if your pants slightly above the waist line. Holster feels alittle cheap compare to others for the price. Lastly a mid sweat guard seems shorter than other brands so be aware.
Fritz
Second holster this month!!!
This is my second in a month from T1C. I orderd the XIPHOS for my glock 19x with a tlr8. The fit is great with a bunch of adjustability. The lead time amazing as it arrived in 12 working days wow. Great work t1c. Compact sleek and very comfortable. Its setup for any belt attachments you choose. I have used this with both aiwb and riwb with no issue. Oh the first was an axis slim for a different light setup. Keep on rocking guys.
Dontae
Awesome holster
Very good holster feels good fits gun perfect
Mark
Not bad
I usually make my own holsters, so I'm pretty picky. I thought I'd try the XIPHOS, and it wasn't too bad although it needed some refinement to truly be comfortable. Rounded out some corners and buffed up some edges and it's not bad. The wing isn't at the right height to me though.
Kevin Summey
Best appendix holster ive ever owned
Ive never had an appendix holster that i could comfortably sit down with much less drive while wearing but i barely notice this one is on me. You can feel the pressure of something being there but all the corners are cut and rounded so perfectly there is no discomfort. I bought this one to test the waters but i will be ordering an axis very soon.
Nathan
Problems at first, but handled quickly.
I got the XIPHOS for my P-320 with an APLC. When I first got my holster it just didn’t fit like my other Tier 1 holsters and had some sharp edges. I contacted customer service and they turned it around in less than a week. Over all I’m really happy with the holster, but it seams like the “taco shell” design isn’t as good as the Agis or Axis.
Melvin Lugo
Definitely Recommend
Love this holster. Just got it today and it’s just awesome. The claw is simple but great concept. Other claws move a little, this doesn’t- like that a lot about it. Claw seems to push the handle a little closer to the body than others. I got the fatter belt clip- it’s hard to take off which seems like I’m complaining about it, but I’m not. Holster won’t come out when you draw the gun. You can even put a cant on it if you want or make it ride a little lower or higher to your liking. Love this holster- definitely recommend it!!!
Brian
Highly reccomend.
I was referred to Tier 1 by my friends at ReadyGunner in Orem when I got my vp9sk.
I was not let down by Tier1Concealed. The order even came right on time.
This is the best holster I've ever owned. I recently upgraded to a light so I'll be ordering another here shortly.
I am normally a 4:00 IWB carrier, but this holster is extremely versatile and is also very comfortable, even at appendix.
I reccomend a "high" back when selecting your sweat guard and the ulti clip upgrade is worth it.
You can buy a pack of regular belt clips from them cheap if you would like to see which ones work best for you.
Their customer service is prompt & professional. It was a pleasure dealing with the T1C team.
You can see how my grey T1C holster turned out via my Tier1Tuesday post on Instagram @bee_lyme
Thomas
What a change
I've carried 5 o'clock for longer then I can remember. At least 10 years now. A very trusted friend suggested AIWB carry and Tier 1 when I got my new PPQ's a regular 4" and the new SC. The build time wasn't bad at all but the wait was killing me. i swapped shells for that extraterrestrial company to keep carrying in the meantime. And they wait finally over I couldn't be happier. its way more comfortable then i thought and a million times more concealable. you honestly cant see it on me any more and while I'm not overly over weight I'm about 30lbs where i should be. I promise this wont be my last from Tier 1
Chris
Perfect fit
Great holster all around. Simple and effective, also super comfortable. Perfect in the appendix carry and stays concealed great even in a tshirt with my glock 19. Will be ordering for my 30s.
Brian Holcombe
Best concealment yet
I've been carrying in the 5 o'clock position for 50 years. This holster conceals better, is well made and surprisingly comfortable, even with my relatively fat P229. It's made me a convert to appendix carry, something I never thought would happen. The claw keeps the butt tucked in so that it stays concealed even under just a T-shirt. Pretty darned good holster.
Tyler
Just a badass holster!
I carry a sw shield 9mm AIWB in one of these. I wear anything from scrubs, sweats and shorts, to khakis and jeans, and I’ve carried comfortably in all of them. I am frequently in and out of a vehicle all day long for work and I never find this holster uncomfortable, even after 8-10hrs. This thing is great all the way around.
