Great holster.Provides comfort with he added wedge for all day carry..Perfect concealment

I had a friend recommend this holster and I've been extremely happy with it. Its very comfortable and sits right on the body

The holster does exactly as Tier 1 claims. It comfortably fits under concealment. It does not print, even in a t-shirt. I love the flexibility of the elastic “wing”, it functions well to preserve comfortability and does a great job contouring my body. The Modularity and ability to configure the holster to fit your carry/draw style makes this holster top shelf! Worth the money! Save time and buy the wedges, it makes all the difference.

Got my 1st T1C holster 3 or 4 years ago and havnt looked back im a big fan of the xiphos elite i have 4 of them and when i need another aiwb holster i will get another one .i carry aiwb daily and ive never liked the side car type holsters whenever i do carry a spare mag i do the little magnetic pocket clip ones ive tried all kinds of holsters i have a drawer full holsters and big hopes lol never could find one that i realy liked and could wear all day without dreading it until i gave the xiphos elite a try and it was love a first draw lol this thing was so nice and comfortable especialy after i made me a wedge and added a little padding in a few places to custom fit it to my body i was sold. I love how it has the clip and extra piece that gives when move around just like a side car holster does but without the sidecar. They conceal so good and i carry good size guns the 3 pics are my main carry guns a glock 45 with tlr7 and radian comp which is size of a glock17 then a echalon with tlr7 and full size sharps bros grip and a x macro with tlr7sub and sharps bros grip also and have no problem concealing or carrying comfortably all day. If your lookin for a aiwb holster without the sidecar try the xiphos elite . Its nice to no longer have to look for a holster whenever i get a new carry gun because i found it years ago lol

Got the Xiohos Elite for the times when I didn’t want to carry a second mag. Very comfortable and easy to conceal. Extremely pleased with size and wearability.

First order got mixed up, with no hassle it was corrected. Will definitely buy more from tier 1

Love this holster I carry it or the apx everyday, when I want something lighter this is the go to.

can’t even fit my tlr7a light with this holster, $3,000 gun and won’t produce a holster with a light option.

The holster is great. My only complaint is that I didn't order the metal belt clips.

Perfect AIWB holster for my Glock 45 and 19

Better than expected

It fits my hellcat perfectly

Fits my pistol perfectly, and conceals great in both appendix and strong side hip

Very comfortable holster!

So good I had to get two! I added a cheap wedge on the back for additional comfort/concealment but it was also fine without it. Premium holster at a cost, but well worth the investment.

Excellent product.

Very comfortable holster

I have been looking for a good holster for a while now. I have purchased many different holsters that worked okay. Then I came across this holster company and heard nothing but good things. I did some research and talked to people that used them. Yes, the holster is on the pricier side, but it is good quality and very comfortable to wear appendix.

Fantastic fit. I love the adjustability.

I’ve carried for 8 years with a couple different subcompact pistols and decided to move to a Glock 19, which is a good bit larger than what I was carrying and has a sight. I was a little worried about how I’d conceal it and how comfortable it’d be. With a larger gun, I carry more concealed and a crazy amount more comfortable with yalls holster over anything I had in the past. Definitely will only be buying your holsters from now on. Thanks for a fantastic product.

Conceals much better than my last holster. I would’ve switched years ago if I knew it would make this big of a difference.

Great holster, as always. Thanks

Amazing

Well made and more comfortable to wear than expected. The wedge and concealment claw really do work to reduce printing. I chose the utiliticlips and they work great! Would have bought sooner, but they are pricey, which is my only complaint.

The belt clips, work great but are a pain some times to don and doffing the holster. Otherwise works well.

I own 4 and there are absolutely the best holsters you can by. Quality, functionality and customer service is A1.

Very comfortable holster great for everyday use

Have this for a G19X, very comfortable for all day EDC especially if paired with the right belt like the EDC S belt. Spare mag in a spot of my choice is way more comfortable for my body style/life style.

Great concealability.

It's very well made and has very good retention.

It’s more than just the exceptional quality of the product. What separates tier one is their customer service! They are genuinely good people and will stand by their product if there are problems or concerns. They will help you with questions and other challenges you may have. I will always choose to do business with people I can trust.

Fit and finish was excellent.

Fantastic holster! Enables me to carry everyday without the discomfort I experienced with other brands.

Perfect fit

I’ve been a fan of Tier 1 Concealed for a while now. Super thin but rugged Kydex, smart design, and comfort that actually holds up past the first few hours. So when I finally got my hands on the Staccato HD P4, there was never a question what holster it was going into—Tier 1. I ended up running two setups: the Xiphos Elite for IWB and the Optio V2 for OWB. And, honestly, that combo has covered just about every carry and training scenario I need. As usual, they didn’t disappoint. I’ve tried plenty of other holsters over the years. You know the type—ones that poke you in all the wrong places, put pressure exactly where you don’t want it, or use softer Kydex that starts shaving off material with every draw. Others have edges that feel unfinished or sharp, which says a lot about attention to detail (or lack of it). That’s not Tier 1. I don’t know what they’re doing over there, but when you wear one of their IWB holsters—and this isn’t just the Xiphos Elite, even the minimalist T1-M—you notice something immediately: it’s comfortable. Not “comfortable for a holster,” just comfortable. All day long. Sitting, standing, driving, moving—it doesn’t become something you’re constantly adjusting or thinking about. And despite all our good intentions, that’s what makes or breaks your commitment to everyday carry. You can train hard, you can have solid reasons to carry, you can invest in a quality firearm—but if the holster isn’t comfortable, it’s eventually going to end up in a drawer. Usually right next to the gun you “meant” to carry. The Xiphos Elite really shines in how refined it feels. The Kydex is rigid where it needs to be without feeling bulky. The edges are smooth, the contours make sense, and nothing feels like an afterthought. It disappears better than most single-clip and dual-clip IWB options I’ve tried, especially when paired with a proper belt. The claw system deserves special mention. This isn’t just an arbitrary wing slapped on the side. The stackable spacer system lets you fine-tune exactly how much the grip is pressed back into your body. That adjustability matters, especially if you rotate between different cover garments or body positions. Add in the tuckable clips, and you’ve got real versatility—untucked T-shirt, button-down, or fully tucked shirt, it all works. On the OWB side, the Optio V2 is no slouch either. It offers a smooth, consistent draw and mounts easily to whatever hardware you prefer. It’s rugged enough for long range days and training sessions, but light enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re strapping a brick to your belt. That balance is harder to get right than most people think, and Tier 1 nails it. Now, I get it—Tier 1 holsters aren’t cheap. But here’s the honest question: why are you willing to spend serious money on a quality handgun, only to carry it in a $25–$40 Amazon special? If you’re going to invest in the gun you trust your life with, it makes sense to invest in a holster that actually keeps it secure, close to your body, and comfortable enough that you want to carry it every day. Comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s a requirement. Because comfort is what keeps the gun on you instead of at home. Bottom line: go with Tier 1. For them, it’s not just a name—it’s genuinely how they do business.

Most comfortable holster I've tried.

Retention is bluhhh wayyyy to much money for what it is

Absolutely love everything about my holster. It’s looks amazing. It’s super comfortable which I thought would be a big problem for me since I’m a bigger guy, and it fits my gun perfectly. I will definitely be getting some more stuff from you guys in the future.

very modular big plus

Xiphos is a top level holster that is versatile too. Tier 1’s attention to detail separates it from the other companies. Great customer service if you have questions. Thank you.

Very helpful customer service with questions, excellent shipping times and product is just perfect! Very comfortable holster! Will be buying again

Not the most comfortable iwb holster. Prints easily because of the rigid position with the belt

Comfortable to carry. Conceals well. Good construction.

Best holsters on the market

perfect holster. they are Tier 1 for a reason

Really tough to clip onto belt. Once on comfortable in the appendix carry.

Fitment is great and feels great to conceal

Comfortable and easy to conceal.

The new holster is working great. It's carrying the larger load of the Staccato HDP4 very well. Thank you.

I love it !!!

Went through countless holsters to find one that’s comfortable and almost unnoticeable. Conceals as it should with little to no printing even on tighter t shirts. I’d definitely buy another for my next carry.

It is the most comfortable holster I have used. So comfortable that I bought a second for my other everyday carry handgun. I tell my friends who are looking to buy a holster to check out your website.

It’s like a glove

Only have had it for a few weeks and still figuring out proper adjustments but so far has been a really good holster. Love the adjustable clips and flexible “arm” piece.

Build quality is great

Your products are great as always. Everything fits securely yet still provides a smooth draw. It's also one of the few holsters I'd consider using for appendix carry.

Great product so far

I really like this holster and I want to buy two more but they are so cost prohibitive once you start customizing (clips, colors, light, etc.) them. I strongly recommend wearing a good carry belt. I also bought one from T1C and it’s made carrying SO much more comfortable. I bought the discrete clips to maximize concealment, but wow, they are hard to get on and off. Once on, that holster isn’t moving without a crowbar. I personally prefer that, but YMMV. I could see this being a struggle to take off if you’re in a public restroom. In that case, just do the standard clips, or buy the discrete clips and switch them out when needed (the holster will come with both if you upgrade). The holster has been a good buy. I don’t have many issues with it, but one issue I have is how massive the trigger guard is exposed. I would rather have it extend higher and offer more coverage in lieu of a better grip - especially considering I carry appendix. I have struggled to fully trust the holster due to that design flaw. I live in Provo and wear an undershirt every day, and sometimes I tuck a dress shirt in, so it makes me extra nervous that extra cloth will sneak in and cause issues. I can reach the trigger face with minimal effort while holstered (43X MOS with TLR-7). To mitigate this - you have to buy the holster without a light attachment but that defeats so much practicality. Overall, it’s a good buy. I’m happy with my purchase and have no regrets. It has made carrying a lot more enjoyable for all day wear, including driving.

Exactly what I heard it was,fantastic !

Super slow to ship. Material should be more substantial for the price.

Works perfectly for my 43x

Fantastic holster, fits well for a slim guy and very comfortable.

Awesome holster I have like 8 of them

Most comfortable holsters I’ve tried Great flexibility and purposeful Look great too

Great holster!!

It is well made. It is comfortable while being carried.

Very happy .with holster but it is actually with you right now, As I needed screws replaced. Thanks Mike

Awesome Holster!

It’s a comfortable as an appendix carry can be. Love it honestly!

This holster is the best I've ever had fits my glock 19x perfectly i had it customized to fit the mass driver compansater and the tlr-1-hl and they made it happen going to order another one for my helical definitely recommend this company

All good. Fits well.

fit my need perfecty

This Xiphos Elite holster is very good! It's miles better than my old Alien Gear holster.

I have this specific holster for my EDC SS CR920p. (have the axis elite for my MR920p). Both are such massive upgrades to my current Safarilands/Tenicor options. My previous go tos were decent for my draw, but had various comfort issues and neither were native to Shadow Systems. This specific holster is a perfect fit, very comfortable seated/standing/moving with my smaller daily carry. Special thanks to my AIWB defensive instructor for the T1C recommendation.

Some days you may want to travel light and this in one of the best tools you can come across that gives you opportunity. It’s comfortable and extremely concealable comes in handy when wearing light T-shirts on a hot day.

My favorite holster ever and I’ve had many. My body shape makes it difficult to carry appendix without it looking like I have a desert eagle in my pants. With this holster along with the wedge I can confidently carry without showing. It is amazing. I have a G43X with RMR and Ramjet Compensator. This holster fits it perfectly and conceals it no matter what I’m wearing. Love it.

I’ve got this same holster for 2 different pistols and I love them both! Comfortable and sleek

As always, Tier 1 Concealed, makes a great holster. All my holsters are by them, except for the few odd gun frames like my old Beretta Cheetah or my Icarus Precision frames. Otherwise their holsters are the best conceal carry holsters around.

Holster fits great! I now have 3 xiphos holsters to carry any size weapon well concealed.

Great holster

Took this to a training class and it was fantastic. Held its place well, was quite comfortable and concealed very very well. Holds pistol steady so I could get a fast concealed draw. I feel i can really trust this holster to have the gun where i want it and keep it there.

Tier 1 concealed are great holsters. Good looking, well built and comfortable. Tier 1 makes me and my S&W Shield X very comfortable and secure when we go out on the town. I have 2 Tier 1 holsters and I'm looking forward to my third. Thank you Tier 1 for your commitment to excellence.

Great fit very comfortable may get mag carrier too

Fit like a glove. Most comfortable holster I’ve ever had.

The good: - Good design for stability and concealability without the bulk of the extra magazine carrier - Good material and build quality - (Most) features are great The bad: - (Specific to the Xiphos) The open cut on top of the slide is too low, exposing part of the barrel (at the ejection port) to marring by the underside of my jeans button. Whatever this feature (T1 re-holster ramp?) is a solution asking for a problem. - (General to Tier1 IWBs) Though marketed as model-specific custom holsters, the actual holster variations are not 100% actual for "close enough" pistol size variants. My Xiphos is ordered for the 4 in M&P compact, but the actual length will fit the 4.25 in M&P full size. Though 1/4 in is not that long in the grand scheme, that extra space is still annoying when the user tries to save as much space "in the pants" as possible. Same problem with the Xiphos for my P30SK. The extra space is stupidly long (3/4 in beyond the muzzle); it defeats the purpose of getting a subcompact gun.

Excellent holster very comfortable. Would buy another when needed. Excellent service..

very comfortable

Great product, quality and fit is perfect!

Love it! The wedge just makes it even more comfortable to carry everyday.

Best holster ever was struggling to conceal my G45 before but this holster changed that

Love it. Fits better than any other holster I have.

I feel the wing it’s too close to the inner part of the holster, having it extended out more to cover the end of the grip would help

Very high quality product. My son and I have bought multiple Tier 1 IWB and OWB holsters and all are extremely high quality, durable and well made! Tier 1 is our go to for this type of production.

Good quality holster that came very fast

Outstanding holster! I can comfortably carry a full size Wilson combat tactical elite all day! It’s a 42oz pistol unloaded! I’m a convert for sure. Having had a hip replacement I thought I had to give up my heavy guns. Not so much! Thank you tier 1!

This one wasn't my cup of tea and I'll pass it on to someone else. It's a little bulky for my use and requires some adjustments to get retention. I feel like they're are some gimmicks on here that only make sense if you're running a 2nd mag, so I won't recommend this as a standalone holster as there are better options available.

Like the ulti clips make it easy and comfortable to wear even in gym shorts as long as i have a baggy shirt its still fully concealed and wont sag or fall.

Great holster! Not many places have a holster for the pistol I have but Tier1 had one and couldn’t be happier.

Good fit, as I am running an Sig P365xMacro with a compensator. Good comfortable concealment. Excellent retention.

Another great holster from Tier 1! Not only do their holsters conceal well, they have the best draw angle out of any holster I have tried. It allows to get a consistent full grip every draw. Quality is always top notch, you get what you pay for.
