AXIS ELITE

I decided on the axis elite for my first appendix carry holster. I’ve been carrying at 3:00-4:00 for about 13 years (no spare mag). I can’t believe I’ve waited this long. Carrying at the previous position I would never carry when wearing just a tee shirt, which is most of the time, due to printing. The axis elite has changed everything. It’s far superior in comfort compared to my old way of carrying. I think the spare mag component distributes the weight more evenly, it’s just all around more comfortable! I carry no matter what I’m wearing now with no printing whatsoever, even in a tee shirt. I love this holster! Highly recommend!
Wesley H.
Holster is super comfortable and the added Ulti-Clips allow me to tuck in my shirt if need be. Amazing holster.
Kenneth W.
First time carrying conceal IWB.
I love the options Tier 1 provides with the different adjustment points.
I have worn it non stop for 3 weeks now.
It conceals extremely well even with light fitting shirts on.
Even wore it with a suit once and it felt fine.
Overall great product,… just wish I would have ordered another color other than black on black.
I think ordering a different color back piece helps when identifying and placing firearm back in holster.
So far no complaints.
Jose A.
Absolutely amazing holster! Got it for my G17 w/TLR1 and can’t even tell it’s there. Definitely worth the wait time.
Tyler C.
Appendix carrying takes some getting use to if you’ve never done it. But the axis elite makes the transition amazing and it’s adjustability is awesome. Very minimal to zero printing depending on what you wear. Will buy more for sure
Kyle P.
Very comfortable and designed perfectly
Richard K.
If you carry appendix, Tier 1 is top of the line!!! Very comfortable!!!
Bryan W.
This is SO comfy! Love it!
Bradley J.
This is my second Tier1 and just like the first one it’s super comfortable, even with the added length for the light. It’s built well with quality materials and did I mention if was comfortable??? After my first Tier1 I either gave or threw away the drawer I had of useless holsters and only carry my Tier1 and a quality OWB holster sometimes. I got the wedge pack thinking I might need it due to the added length of the light. That was a mistake as the added length doesn’t present a problem at all for me. I’ve already recommended Tier1 to all my friends but now I’m telling you, person that is reading this trying to decide if you should buy one or not. Do it! I wear mine for 12 hours a day, everyday. Sitting, standing, driving, it doesn’t matter, the holster remains in the same place that you put it. I didn’t even have to adjust the clips, took one plate off the claw and I was good to go. I sincerely wish I would have bought one sooner and not wasted the money that I did on sub par systems.

From the ordering process to where my Axis Elite Holster was in the production process and the delivery was flawless. Communication was top notch and I knew where my order was the whole time. The holster was delivered and was as I ordered. The quality and craftsmanship is unmatched. This holster is so comfortable I couldn't believe it. I will buy another if this one wears out.
irvin s.
Best holster on the market ! don’t even feel it on me throughout the day and it just feels amazing. Already ordered another axis elite for my 19x. Never switching up
Louis D.
Super comfortable, rapid draw, excellent craftsmanship, and most of all, OUTSTANDING customer service! I have (6) Tier 1 holsters and will be purchasing more. Thank you. Keep up the great work!
Adam P.
Best holster on the market!! Absolutely love it! Fits perfectly with my “dad bod” figure. All my guns will be getting tier one holsters from now on!
james m.
My second axis elite and it’s just as good as the first one. I switch between an M&P shield and a Glock 19, both using the axis elite and it’s like they are not even there. A must have in California so I can carry an extra 10 rounds!
William S.
This is the 4th Axis Elite I’ve owned. Super high quality and comfort. I simply won’t buy anything else
Ryan W.
I started carrying appendix pretty recently, this is by far the most comfortable holster I’ve owned. The quality, and concealment is great.
Faizan A.
I'm a bigger dude, and I carry appendix. My other holsters don't feel as comfortable, I have to constantly adjust it getting in and out of the truck, or getting up from sitting down.
The Axis elite is phenomenal. no printing what so ever, I wear it all day without any discomfort, It also doesn't feel like my gun is jumping in my waste while I'm walking. Granted this is for my Hellcat Pro, I am ordering another for my MP9, if that makes me feel as good as the one I currently have, its game over for all my other holsters.
So far it's 2 thumbs up. I love it.
ALBERT B.
Well made and function just like it advertised. I’ll prioritize this holster on the front on the line, AIWB carry mode…. Period!!!
Max V.
After running a $15 soft holster until my T1C showed up, the difference is unbelievable. Even with an extra mag the holster seems to disappear compared to the smaller soft holster. Will definitely be looking to pick up more T1C for any future EDC pistols!
Joel A.
I own 2 of these holsters. They are very comfortable and easy to adjust. I plan on ordering a 3rd Holster.
Nicola T.
Love this holster!!! Comfortable, looks great, and came from T1C with perfect retention. I carry all day at work. Definitely buying more, and recommending T1C to all my friends.
Gerald F.
I’m a smaller framed guy, and I shoot larger framed handguns better, I daily an m9a3. After trying alien gear, along with several other kydex holster brands and styles, I decided to see what all the hype was about. I’m not looking back. Compared to my previous holsters, it’s like the gun isn’t even on me now. Conceals great also, the wing/claw works great. Love the adjustability with the ez clips. No matter what I carry from now on, it will be in a T1C.
glen h.
Game changer most comfortable aiwb full size 5" gun holster I've tried, clears the LTT Suppressor sights perfectly, top tier customer service as well. Faster shipping then most custom holster shops with top notch quality. Keep up the good work
Nathan B.
Great holster! Absolutely no printing.
Chris P.
I am a 6’4 300lb guy so I was very hesitant on buying this holster. I’ve wanted one since I started carrying because I’ve heard all the hype on them, but at the time I weighed in around 370 lbs and knew there was no way it could be comfortable for a big dude. I’m still losing weight currently, as of right now at 300lb this thing is amazing. And I’m sure it’ll only get better. Super comfortable. I was worried the extra mag carrier would be a problem, as being a fat guy I can’t carry on my stomach like most people. Have to carry under my belly. I was very surprised by how comfortable this holster was, especially compared to my other holsters that are made for big dudes that deep conceal. Really can’t tell a difference. I will definitely be purchasing more holsters from T1.
Marc A.
I had three Tier 1 Axis holsters, all several years old that all worked/work perfectly. I recently ordered an Axis Elite for my Glock 19. I couldn’t get a good firing grip on the Glock 19. I tried removing claw pieces to no avail, a total of 3. I contacted your customer support; the guy answered after the first ring. We discussed my problem and he suggested lowering the holster by adjusting the belt clips. Problem solved. In checking my existing holsters, turns out they were also lowered, presumably by me, old guy with fading memory. I have boxes of old holsters. I carry daily and only use my Tier 1 holsters…nobody knows I’m carrying. My wife has to frisk me to confirm! Thank you for a superior product and superior customer service!

Comfortable, sturdy, good retention. Best appendix carry holster for my body type that I've tried.
Jimmy I.
I love my Tier 1 holsters. They’re very comfortable and nicely designed. I even got an OWB holster for safariland leg holster for my G19.
Christopher B.
I’ve tried so many holsters and honestly gave up finding on so I could carry on body. I watched videos about this holster and gave it a try. Holy cow! It actually does conceal with no printing and it is comfortable. Didn’t even need the upgraded clips or wedges. I’m blown away. It took a while to receive my order but I’m so happy I’ll be able to carry and not have printing! These holsters are worth every penny.
Joseph B.
Hands down the absolute best appendix rig for both comfort and concealment.
Mike M.
Super comfortable and customizable lot ride how you want it. The wedge pack is a must for sure! Already have recommended it to friends.
Joseph H.
Best holster I’ve owned, and I’ve had a few. Took me a long time to try another holster with a mag carrier attached. I tried a different one a long ago and didn’t like it at all. I’m glad I decided to give Tier 1 a chance. No regrets at all!
DEAN P.
Most comfortable carry rig i've ever used.
Zachary B.
This holster is a game changer. I was skeptical of the comfort factor for a sig P226, but it’s as comfortable as my Glock 19. A+
Adam B.
If you read all the reviews on this holster, they’re significantly better than other holsters. I will say it was hard to spend over $200 on a plastic holster. After receiving the holster, I realized the reviews are true. With the wedge system, this is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever owned in 35 years. Great job Tier 1 with the axis elite. You have earned a customer for life.
Kevin C.
Have been carrying appendix for the past 5 years with an LLOD holster with single clip which i loved and find slightly more comfortable but less concealable. This new tier 1 is great because you can adjust the wing and flexes more with the body. The only thing i really dislike about the holster is some hard edges which i sanded down and is now more comfortable when sitting.
Robert H.
I got this holster for the springfield armory Hellcat Pro.
This rig let's me carry (comfortablely) my EDC and a spare magazine and no one's the wiser.
I can definitely recommend it!
Viktor P.
I’m on my third Tier1 holster now. After trying lots of different brands and types there’s none that compare. Period. The fit comfort and customization is second to none. The team is always available and responds quickly with questions and warranty issues etc. I’ve never had a problem. Anyone I’ve recommended the holster to in my circle of friends and family have become tier1 customers for life as well. And better yet they put out awesome content on social media and YouTube. You guys will always have my business! Just have patience when you order! I promise the 3-4 weeks is worth it!
Trevor W.
I have two other holster set ups, very similar to this and this is the best one of the three.
I only have one complaint and it has nothing to do with tier 1 concealed it’s with the US Postal Service they lost my package and it was like pulling teeth to find it
I’ve been wearing the holster consistently to work and find it to be the most comfortable, and most tactically useful I’ve ever worn!
Hiram R.
I can’t believe how comfortable Axis Elite is. No sharp edges nice and rounded. I got to say it’s Slimmer and smaller than I thought. It’s a perfect fit for my Xmacro. This is a home run guys. Hiram from Jersey.
Dan N.
Fit and finish is perfect, as to be expected. Comfort is better than I coupled ever imagine. Conceal ability is infinitely better than my previous holster.
Logan H.
T1C is the only company I found that had a quality looking holster for my FN 509c tactical. I don’t have any other IWB holsters to compare it do but based on this one it is the only brand I will ever buy. There is a bit of a learning curve to get everything dialed in and learn how to wear it. Once you do it is very comfortable, no problems wearing it all day sitting and standing. Great job T1C!
Jeffery S.
I love Tier1 holsters! Durable and most importantly comfortable!
Dawson C.
Had my holster for around a month now and been wearing it everyday. Fits my gun and light combo perfectly with excellent retention and is easy to draw from. Very comfortable, you definitly know it is there but it is not as uncomfortable or painful as other appendix style holsters. I'm a bigger guy carrying a fullsize gun and it is by far the best holster I have used as a daily.
Kevin E.
Feels and looks great. I truly like it. BUT i really dislike how it doesn’t flush at the bottom cut as shown in the picture. I ordered it for my EDC which is a Glock 19 Gen 5 and it seems this holster was previously custom made for someone else. It isn’t a big deal I’m just used to my gun fitting the holsters i buy nice and perfect.
Michael G.
Delivered earlier than expected! Outstanding attention to detail and by far the most comfortable holster I have ever used!
Shadron D.
My 2nd T1 holster, quality and fit were exactly as expected, super comfortable, super durable for edc.
Phillip B.
This holster is more comfortable and effective than it has any right to be. My SIG P365X-MACRO and spare mag completely disappear under even just a t-shirt, as the holster keeps both firmly against my body. The way it bends and conforms to my body, sometimes I just leave it on when I get home. I don't even notice it. OUTSTANDING quality and OUTSTANDING product.
Sergio P.
No lie, been through a few aiwb holsters and this is by far the most comfortable by a mile compared to the others that I forget it's there. Don't even get me started on concelability cause you can't even tell it's there.
Armin M.
Good things come to those who wait! Waiting a month for the best holsters on planet earth is no sweat. My axis slim is amazing. The axis elite is even better. Conceals in a normal t-shirt better than any IWB holster on the market. I dare you to prove me wrong
David R.
The most comfortable AIWB holster I’ve tried. Had one for my 320 XCOMPACT and now for my Staccato C2. Great fit, good retention and genuine all day comfort, even sitting in a car.
Spendy, but worth it.
Brian G.
Fits and carries better than any AIWB holster I have had in the past. Very comfortable and secure. I was apprehensive about having the built-in mag carrier as I thought it would be too heavy and bulky but it works really well. I'm not sure if it is removable like on other holsters but I will be looking into that for summer. Overall an excellent holster and money well spent.
Matt J.
Extremely comfortable!
Christopher .
One of the most comfortable holsters ever! I have a P365 X Macro with a TLR 7 Sub and this holster conceals it well while being very comfortable. Combined with a kore essentials belt makes it the best combo.
James S.
Haven’t had it long, but, I’m a big guy and it conceals well.
Gavin A.
Love this holster fits my compensator and my weapon light. First kydex holster and no complaints.
Justin H.
I love it. This is my second and I’m getting my next ones here too. Super comfy to wear even while driving.
Rik N.
This is as close to concealing in comfort I imagine one can get!
Quinton U.
This is now my go-to EDC holster! Very comfortable and reliable. Highly recommend Tier 1 Concealed to anyone looking for a new holster of any kind!
LeRoy A.
This is my 2nd Axis Elite and I really like it. I can sit and drive comfortably. Had a few questions and customer service responded with minutes which was awesome.
Todd H.
I purchased my holster during a time when Tier 1 had 4-5 lead times before shipping. It was at my house in 3 weeks. This is my first appendix holster. I researched and watched reviews on all the major brands and decided on Tier 1. I have worn in for a few weeks now and it does a great job. I carry a Glock 19 with standard sights. I'm 5'9" and 160lbs. It actually conceals under a T-shirt for me. I tried several wedges as well. I ended up using the "small" just to add a little cushion on the end of the holster.
Very happy with my purchase. Thanks Tier 1.
Joey B.
The fit and finish of these AIWB holsters are 2nd to none. After doing a ton of searching and reading a ton of reviews everyone said Tier 1 was the best and they did not disappoint. Just remember
"cheap aint good and good aint cheap" So spend the money, wait the time it takes and you wont be disappointed, This wont be my last holster ordered from Tier 1!
Jack S.
First time wearing a holster like this and i am changing to this kind of holster for every pistol i have!!
Hiram R.
Axis Elite delivered in its quality. Smaller lighter then I thought it would be. Very comfortable no sharp edges just perfect for my Xmacro. It’s true, you get what you pay for. This is a home run. Will be replacing all my other holsters with Tier1 brands.
Pui C.
Axis Elite with UltiClip for Glock 26 gen 3. This set up works good with joggers or gym with a draw string.
kam k.
Amazing quality and comfort! Couldn't be more happy with my Axis Elite holster. Color looks great and build quality is definitely there. There wait time was very accurate and after it was shipped I got it in just a couple days. Amazing product and great service!
Trever H.
After trying about 4 different holsters, I finally made the choice to buy the Axis Elite. Best decision I ever made! This thing is incredibly comfortable. Way more comfortable then the stand alone holsters without an attached mag holster. I wear it all day everyday and forget it’s even there. I definitely will be buying more in the future. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Don’t let the price or lead time scare you, it’s worth it.
Mike D.
Better than advertised!
luke w.
Thought I was going to have buyers remorse. 100% love it. Should’ve done it sooner
Jason N.
Quality, Fast shipping and great customer service
Joseph B.
Its exactly what I ordered! I would highly recommend T1 to all my concealed carry Friends!!!!
Adam W.
Only appendix holster that has ever worked for me, I believe you will not regret the purchase.
Also the belt and wedges are amazing
Andrew M.
Wing was a little tricky to figure out but that’s more of a user error. Holster is very comfortable and conceals my full frame pistol with a 5in barrel beautifully. I have already recommended it to friends and will continue to do so!
Peter G.
Perfect right out of the box. Didn't have to adjust a thing. This is my first time doing appendix carry and I've got to say, I was shocked to find it so comfortable. I thought for sure it was going to be very uncomfortable, especially when sitting but it's the most comfortable holster I've ever tried, even while driving!
Aaron C.
The standard clips weren’t the best so I ordered Ulticlips 3+ and it’s really a game changer how comfortable it is to carry my g43x now I forget I even have it on sometimes it just feels so natural.
Zach M.
Absolutely worth every penny and the wait. By far the most comfortable holster I’ve employed.
BRENDEN B.
MOST COMFORTABLE AND BEST FITTED HOLSTER I OWN
Alex V.
Most comfortable holster I have owned. It works great in IDPA competition as well. I will be buying more.
william s.
Love this set up. Fits the gun perfectly and is super comfortable carrying. Very happy with this holster.
Keith B.
Best holster I’ve owned and I’d say I’ve owned many IWB holsters in my experiences. Highly recommended!
Brandon B.
Waited 45 days and a few wears to review and even tho it was a long wait to receive and a little pricey I can say it was worth the patience and money. Fits so good I didn't even need the wedge I ordered with it. Very durable and easy to adjust. I look forward to not having to buy another holster for quite some time.
Matthew C.
The Axis Elite is excellent! I have worn it for a month before providing this review. I have an athletic build at 5' 10" and 200 lbs. For my Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS (will be adding a Holosun SCS), I wear it with a ride height one level lower than it is shipped, max claw width, and a large 2.25" wide wedge. Through trial and error, I have figured out that I was wearing my belt too high and too tight. By wearing the holster lower, not as tight, and having the G19 more centered...it is very comfortable and disappears under my shirt.
John D.
I, absolutely, love my Tier 1 holster. It’s very comfortable and conceals great. The cord between the holster and “side car” makes it bend with my body. With the addition of a wedge I'm not getting poked in my abdomen. I will, definitely, be purchasing another for my other firearms.
Jason R.
This is my second TIC holster and I could not be happier. I really like the slim design and feel when it is being worn. I have three other holsters for my Hellcat Pro and I keep going back to the Axis Elite for comfort and confidence. I plan on adding another Axis Elite when I purchase my next pistol here soon. Well worth the weight and money IMO.
Ethan T.
Easily the best and one of the most comfortable holsters I’ve ever used. 100% recommend the discreet carry clips. If you can’t get them here, wait for a restock on their main website it makes a huge difference. Adjusting this I was able to get the gun to sit deep and still have a great purchase to pull. 10/10
Dean D.
Comfortable, fits great and the light doesn’t turn on when I holster or UN-holster the weapon. Have holster from them for all my CC pistols and they never let me down.
Garland D.
Amazing holster super comfortable for EDC manageable even when sitting. For walking and standing it’s the best holster I have Ever owned. Shipping took the full 5weeks so don’t expect it to ship sooner then they say. All around will be back again if my EDC ever changes from my SIG X Macro !
Christian L.
I couldn't be more delighted with the continued craftsmanship from Tier1. (T0p) The slim I've had since early 2016/17 and have had mixed feelings about but once the wedges game into the game everything had changed! The elite will definitely be my go to though due to its comfort, accessibly and conceal-ability.
Matthew D.
Excellent quality holster, conceals well perfect for my 48 mos with the tlr-7 sub
Harry P.
I initially bought a Tier1 Xiphos for my SIG and found it to be the most comfortable holster. I then ordered the Axis Elite for my Glock 23. Let me tell you that even with a little bit of a gut, I still find this to be the most comfortable holster to wear while driving or just walking around. I never worry about printing. I am very new to appendix carrying and I find it a whole lot easier after I found the "sweet spot". Can't say enough about Tier1.
Shane T.
So good I bought a 2nd one. I prefer appendix carry. I've tried several appendix holsters and I prefer Tier1. The comfort, adjustability and quality and top notch. Thanks again Tier1 for a great product.
Alex P.
Wow. So comfortable. Perfect fit for my new g43 x
David M.
I love the side car holster especially with smaller single stacks. This holster is my third T1C and as always their product do not disappoint. Won’t be my last.
Dru H.
Comfortable and reliable! Carrying a P320 XCompact without even feeling it and know that it’s in a secure, safe position. Highly recommended and buying all future holsters from Tier 1 Concealment!
Christian B.
The best holster I have purchased. Well worth the wait.
Bruce K.
Totally Digging My Axis Elite!
Thanks
Valdemar M.
I have gone thru a few holsters but as of now this is ultimately my favorite. Quality built great looking just feels solid. Would highly recommend.
Nathan B.
Outstanding AIWB holster!! This is the second one I’ve purchased from Tier 1 and will point my students your way.
Jonathan S.
I’ll be honest here. Some people complain about it for whatever reason. You got a gun shoved in your pants, you’re going to feel! It is however drastically more comfortable than any other holster I’ve ever worn (this is the 5th brand I’ve used). If you want a holster you’re not gonna feel, then get you bag and shove it in there. Or you could just carry a Deringer that should be small enough for you to “not feel it.”This holster is worth the money, as long as you have a realistic expectation of what it feels like to shove a gun in your pants. Highly recommend this holster and the Ulti clips!
Chettawut n.
Best looking holster out there !!

I had three Tier 1 Axis holsters, all several years old that all worked/work perfectly. I recently ordered an Axis Elite for my Glock 19. I couldn’t get a good firing grip on the Glock 19. I tried removing claw pieces to no avail, a total of 3. I contacted your customer support; the guy answered after the first ring. We discussed my problem and he suggested lowering the holster by adjusting the belt clips. Problem solved. In checking my existing holsters, turns out they were also lowered, presumably by me, old guy with fading memory. I have boxes of old holsters. I carry daily and only use my Tier 1 holsters…nobody knows I’m carrying. My wife has to frisk me to confirm! Thank you for a superior product and superior customer service!

Comfortable, sturdy, good retention. Best appendix carry holster for my body type that I've tried.
Jimmy I.
I love my Tier 1 holsters. They’re very comfortable and nicely designed. I even got an OWB holster for safariland leg holster for my G19.
Christopher B.
I’ve tried so many holsters and honestly gave up finding on so I could carry on body. I watched videos about this holster and gave it a try. Holy cow! It actually does conceal with no printing and it is comfortable. Didn’t even need the upgraded clips or wedges. I’m blown away. It took a while to receive my order but I’m so happy I’ll be able to carry and not have printing! These holsters are worth every penny.
Joseph B.
Hands down the absolute best appendix rig for both comfort and concealment.
Mike M.
Super comfortable and customizable lot ride how you want it. The wedge pack is a must for sure! Already have recommended it to friends.
Joseph H.
Best holster I’ve owned, and I’ve had a few. Took me a long time to try another holster with a mag carrier attached. I tried a different one a long ago and didn’t like it at all. I’m glad I decided to give Tier 1 a chance. No regrets at all!
DEAN P.
Most comfortable carry rig i've ever used.
Zachary B.
This holster is a game changer. I was skeptical of the comfort factor for a sig P226, but it’s as comfortable as my Glock 19. A+
Adam B.
If you read all the reviews on this holster, they’re significantly better than other holsters. I will say it was hard to spend over $200 on a plastic holster. After receiving the holster, I realized the reviews are true. With the wedge system, this is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever owned in 35 years. Great job Tier 1 with the axis elite. You have earned a customer for life.
Kevin C.
Have been carrying appendix for the past 5 years with an LLOD holster with single clip which i loved and find slightly more comfortable but less concealable. This new tier 1 is great because you can adjust the wing and flexes more with the body. The only thing i really dislike about the holster is some hard edges which i sanded down and is now more comfortable when sitting.
Robert H.
I got this holster for the springfield armory Hellcat Pro.
This rig let's me carry (comfortablely) my EDC and a spare magazine and no one's the wiser.
I can definitely recommend it!
Viktor P.
I’m on my third Tier1 holster now. After trying lots of different brands and types there’s none that compare. Period. The fit comfort and customization is second to none. The team is always available and responds quickly with questions and warranty issues etc. I’ve never had a problem. Anyone I’ve recommended the holster to in my circle of friends and family have become tier1 customers for life as well. And better yet they put out awesome content on social media and YouTube. You guys will always have my business! Just have patience when you order! I promise the 3-4 weeks is worth it!
Trevor W.
I have two other holster set ups, very similar to this and this is the best one of the three.
I only have one complaint and it has nothing to do with tier 1 concealed it’s with the US Postal Service they lost my package and it was like pulling teeth to find it
I’ve been wearing the holster consistently to work and find it to be the most comfortable, and most tactically useful I’ve ever worn!
Hiram R.
I can’t believe how comfortable Axis Elite is. No sharp edges nice and rounded. I got to say it’s Slimmer and smaller than I thought. It’s a perfect fit for my Xmacro. This is a home run guys. Hiram from Jersey.
Dan N.
Fit and finish is perfect, as to be expected. Comfort is better than I coupled ever imagine. Conceal ability is infinitely better than my previous holster.
Logan H.
T1C is the only company I found that had a quality looking holster for my FN 509c tactical. I don’t have any other IWB holsters to compare it do but based on this one it is the only brand I will ever buy. There is a bit of a learning curve to get everything dialed in and learn how to wear it. Once you do it is very comfortable, no problems wearing it all day sitting and standing. Great job T1C!
Jeffery S.
I love Tier1 holsters! Durable and most importantly comfortable!
Dawson C.
Had my holster for around a month now and been wearing it everyday. Fits my gun and light combo perfectly with excellent retention and is easy to draw from. Very comfortable, you definitly know it is there but it is not as uncomfortable or painful as other appendix style holsters. I'm a bigger guy carrying a fullsize gun and it is by far the best holster I have used as a daily.
Kevin E.
Feels and looks great. I truly like it. BUT i really dislike how it doesn’t flush at the bottom cut as shown in the picture. I ordered it for my EDC which is a Glock 19 Gen 5 and it seems this holster was previously custom made for someone else. It isn’t a big deal I’m just used to my gun fitting the holsters i buy nice and perfect.
Michael G.
Delivered earlier than expected! Outstanding attention to detail and by far the most comfortable holster I have ever used!
Shadron D.
My 2nd T1 holster, quality and fit were exactly as expected, super comfortable, super durable for edc.
Phillip B.
This holster is more comfortable and effective than it has any right to be. My SIG P365X-MACRO and spare mag completely disappear under even just a t-shirt, as the holster keeps both firmly against my body. The way it bends and conforms to my body, sometimes I just leave it on when I get home. I don't even notice it. OUTSTANDING quality and OUTSTANDING product.
Sergio P.
No lie, been through a few aiwb holsters and this is by far the most comfortable by a mile compared to the others that I forget it's there. Don't even get me started on concelability cause you can't even tell it's there.
Armin M.
Good things come to those who wait! Waiting a month for the best holsters on planet earth is no sweat. My axis slim is amazing. The axis elite is even better. Conceals in a normal t-shirt better than any IWB holster on the market. I dare you to prove me wrong
David R.
The most comfortable AIWB holster I’ve tried. Had one for my 320 XCOMPACT and now for my Staccato C2. Great fit, good retention and genuine all day comfort, even sitting in a car.
Spendy, but worth it.
Brian G.
Fits and carries better than any AIWB holster I have had in the past. Very comfortable and secure. I was apprehensive about having the built-in mag carrier as I thought it would be too heavy and bulky but it works really well. I'm not sure if it is removable like on other holsters but I will be looking into that for summer. Overall an excellent holster and money well spent.
Matt J.
Extremely comfortable!
Christopher .
One of the most comfortable holsters ever! I have a P365 X Macro with a TLR 7 Sub and this holster conceals it well while being very comfortable. Combined with a kore essentials belt makes it the best combo.
James S.
Haven’t had it long, but, I’m a big guy and it conceals well.
Gavin A.
Love this holster fits my compensator and my weapon light. First kydex holster and no complaints.
Justin H.
I love it. This is my second and I’m getting my next ones here too. Super comfy to wear even while driving.
Rik N.
This is as close to concealing in comfort I imagine one can get!
Quinton U.
This is now my go-to EDC holster! Very comfortable and reliable. Highly recommend Tier 1 Concealed to anyone looking for a new holster of any kind!
LeRoy A.
This is my 2nd Axis Elite and I really like it. I can sit and drive comfortably. Had a few questions and customer service responded with minutes which was awesome.
Todd H.
I purchased my holster during a time when Tier 1 had 4-5 lead times before shipping. It was at my house in 3 weeks. This is my first appendix holster. I researched and watched reviews on all the major brands and decided on Tier 1. I have worn in for a few weeks now and it does a great job. I carry a Glock 19 with standard sights. I'm 5'9" and 160lbs. It actually conceals under a T-shirt for me. I tried several wedges as well. I ended up using the "small" just to add a little cushion on the end of the holster.
Very happy with my purchase. Thanks Tier 1.
Joey B.
The fit and finish of these AIWB holsters are 2nd to none. After doing a ton of searching and reading a ton of reviews everyone said Tier 1 was the best and they did not disappoint. Just remember
"cheap aint good and good aint cheap" So spend the money, wait the time it takes and you wont be disappointed, This wont be my last holster ordered from Tier 1!
Jack S.
First time wearing a holster like this and i am changing to this kind of holster for every pistol i have!!
Hiram R.
Axis Elite delivered in its quality. Smaller lighter then I thought it would be. Very comfortable no sharp edges just perfect for my Xmacro. It’s true, you get what you pay for. This is a home run. Will be replacing all my other holsters with Tier1 brands.
Pui C.
Axis Elite with UltiClip for Glock 26 gen 3. This set up works good with joggers or gym with a draw string.
kam k.
Amazing quality and comfort! Couldn't be more happy with my Axis Elite holster. Color looks great and build quality is definitely there. There wait time was very accurate and after it was shipped I got it in just a couple days. Amazing product and great service!
Trever H.
After trying about 4 different holsters, I finally made the choice to buy the Axis Elite. Best decision I ever made! This thing is incredibly comfortable. Way more comfortable then the stand alone holsters without an attached mag holster. I wear it all day everyday and forget it’s even there. I definitely will be buying more in the future. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Don’t let the price or lead time scare you, it’s worth it.
Mike D.
Better than advertised!
luke w.
Thought I was going to have buyers remorse. 100% love it. Should’ve done it sooner
Jason N.
Quality, Fast shipping and great customer service
Joseph B.
Its exactly what I ordered! I would highly recommend T1 to all my concealed carry Friends!!!!
Adam W.
Only appendix holster that has ever worked for me, I believe you will not regret the purchase.
Also the belt and wedges are amazing
Andrew M.
Wing was a little tricky to figure out but that’s more of a user error. Holster is very comfortable and conceals my full frame pistol with a 5in barrel beautifully. I have already recommended it to friends and will continue to do so!
Peter G.
Perfect right out of the box. Didn't have to adjust a thing. This is my first time doing appendix carry and I've got to say, I was shocked to find it so comfortable. I thought for sure it was going to be very uncomfortable, especially when sitting but it's the most comfortable holster I've ever tried, even while driving!
Aaron C.
The standard clips weren’t the best so I ordered Ulticlips 3+ and it’s really a game changer how comfortable it is to carry my g43x now I forget I even have it on sometimes it just feels so natural.
Zach M.
Absolutely worth every penny and the wait. By far the most comfortable holster I’ve employed.
BRENDEN B.
MOST COMFORTABLE AND BEST FITTED HOLSTER I OWN
Alex V.
Most comfortable holster I have owned. It works great in IDPA competition as well. I will be buying more.
william s.
Love this set up. Fits the gun perfectly and is super comfortable carrying. Very happy with this holster.
Keith B.
Best holster I’ve owned and I’d say I’ve owned many IWB holsters in my experiences. Highly recommended!
Brandon B.
Waited 45 days and a few wears to review and even tho it was a long wait to receive and a little pricey I can say it was worth the patience and money. Fits so good I didn't even need the wedge I ordered with it. Very durable and easy to adjust. I look forward to not having to buy another holster for quite some time.
Matthew C.
The Axis Elite is excellent! I have worn it for a month before providing this review. I have an athletic build at 5' 10" and 200 lbs. For my Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS (will be adding a Holosun SCS), I wear it with a ride height one level lower than it is shipped, max claw width, and a large 2.25" wide wedge. Through trial and error, I have figured out that I was wearing my belt too high and too tight. By wearing the holster lower, not as tight, and having the G19 more centered...it is very comfortable and disappears under my shirt.
John D.
I, absolutely, love my Tier 1 holster. It’s very comfortable and conceals great. The cord between the holster and “side car” makes it bend with my body. With the addition of a wedge I'm not getting poked in my abdomen. I will, definitely, be purchasing another for my other firearms.
Jason R.
This is my second TIC holster and I could not be happier. I really like the slim design and feel when it is being worn. I have three other holsters for my Hellcat Pro and I keep going back to the Axis Elite for comfort and confidence. I plan on adding another Axis Elite when I purchase my next pistol here soon. Well worth the weight and money IMO.
Ethan T.
Easily the best and one of the most comfortable holsters I’ve ever used. 100% recommend the discreet carry clips. If you can’t get them here, wait for a restock on their main website it makes a huge difference. Adjusting this I was able to get the gun to sit deep and still have a great purchase to pull. 10/10
Dean D.
Comfortable, fits great and the light doesn’t turn on when I holster or UN-holster the weapon. Have holster from them for all my CC pistols and they never let me down.
Garland D.
Amazing holster super comfortable for EDC manageable even when sitting. For walking and standing it’s the best holster I have Ever owned. Shipping took the full 5weeks so don’t expect it to ship sooner then they say. All around will be back again if my EDC ever changes from my SIG X Macro !
Christian L.
I couldn't be more delighted with the continued craftsmanship from Tier1. (T0p) The slim I've had since early 2016/17 and have had mixed feelings about but once the wedges game into the game everything had changed! The elite will definitely be my go to though due to its comfort, accessibly and conceal-ability.
Matthew D.
Excellent quality holster, conceals well perfect for my 48 mos with the tlr-7 sub
Harry P.
I initially bought a Tier1 Xiphos for my SIG and found it to be the most comfortable holster. I then ordered the Axis Elite for my Glock 23. Let me tell you that even with a little bit of a gut, I still find this to be the most comfortable holster to wear while driving or just walking around. I never worry about printing. I am very new to appendix carrying and I find it a whole lot easier after I found the "sweet spot". Can't say enough about Tier1.
Shane T.
So good I bought a 2nd one. I prefer appendix carry. I've tried several appendix holsters and I prefer Tier1. The comfort, adjustability and quality and top notch. Thanks again Tier1 for a great product.
Alex P.
Wow. So comfortable. Perfect fit for my new g43 x
David M.
I love the side car holster especially with smaller single stacks. This holster is my third T1C and as always their product do not disappoint. Won’t be my last.
Dru H.
Comfortable and reliable! Carrying a P320 XCompact without even feeling it and know that it’s in a secure, safe position. Highly recommended and buying all future holsters from Tier 1 Concealment!
Christian B.
The best holster I have purchased. Well worth the wait.
Bruce K.
Totally Digging My Axis Elite!
Thanks
Valdemar M.
I have gone thru a few holsters but as of now this is ultimately my favorite. Quality built great looking just feels solid. Would highly recommend.
Nathan B.
Outstanding AIWB holster!! This is the second one I’ve purchased from Tier 1 and will point my students your way.
Jonathan S.
I’ll be honest here. Some people complain about it for whatever reason. You got a gun shoved in your pants, you’re going to feel! It is however drastically more comfortable than any other holster I’ve ever worn (this is the 5th brand I’ve used). If you want a holster you’re not gonna feel, then get you bag and shove it in there. Or you could just carry a Deringer that should be small enough for you to “not feel it.”This holster is worth the money, as long as you have a realistic expectation of what it feels like to shove a gun in your pants. Highly recommend this holster and the Ulti clips!
Chettawut n.
Best looking holster out there !!
You are looking at our AXIS ELITE holster! Specially designed for appendix carry, this is our newest design that has a ton of amazing features!
- Even SLIMMER Profile
- Built-In Concealment Ridge On The Magazine
- Magazine Retention Moved To Inside To Reduce Size
- All ELITES Are Optic And Suppressor Height Sight Compatible (*SIGHTS TALLER THAN 0.3800" WON'T FIT*)
- Slightly Canted Magazine Angle For More Ergonomic Access
- Strategically Placed Gusseting To Increase Strength In Problem Areas
- Non-Light Bearing Holsters Will Have Concealment Wing
- Light Bearing Holsters Will Have Concealment Claw
The AXIS ELITE is fastened together with military-grade shock cord and allows the firearm to flex closer into the body independently of the magazine for better concealment. This connection also allows the holster to flex where needed while performing other acts like getting in and out of vehicles and bending over.
Over time and a lot of use, the shock cord may need to be replaced. It can also be easily removed and swapped out with different colors.
