XIPHOS V2
$65.99

Holster works great good retention when jogging able to do one or two handed draws with ease, would buy again, Very concealed and comfortable.
Mark M.
The holster fits and it does the concealed thing well! But don't say it's for a 3.6" m&p 2.0 when it'll very clearly hold a full size 4.25 or bigger because there is no taper at the end... Maybe I didn't do enough research but I thought you built holsters for specific guns not just the m&p 2.0 9/40 full size. Nothing against cats but if it fits it sits isn't the best matto when you say your holster is for a subcompact.

Unfortunately I was disappointed in the Xiphos V2 for my Springfield XD Subcompact. I have a Xiphos V2 for my Full Size Springfield XD that I absolutely love, however the version for the subcompact missed the mark. There is a lot of extra kydex at the bottom of the holster that is unnecessary and digs into my leg and groin. Its as if you used the same size kydex sheet for both guns but forgot to clip the excess off of the subcompact version.
Once again, I love the holster for my full size XD, so I was really disappointed when the subcompact version didn't live up.
Blake W.
I own three of these and absolutely love them, I recommend them to all the guys I work with. Most comfortable, secure and discreet AIWB holster out there.
Jonathan M.
Very comfortable, conceals very well.
Douglas S.
It conceals perfectly and is very comfortable.
Matt V.
So good I own 2 of them for the pistol. One with a light one without will not buy any other brand and I love how you guys practice what you preach and support the 2nd amendment
Matthew F.
The default clips are incredibly high profile, so purchase a more discrete option, and the retention is on the lighter side. Otherwise, you will find the holster to be acceptable.

Been wearing it a couple months now minus the gun to get used to it. I still have not figured out how to get it on quickly or even semi-quickly. I have read through as many comments as I could on this site for advice but have not managed to find anything that helps. The product itself is solid, I am not worried about it shifting or falling off at the urinal. It could just be me but if I cannot get it on easily or easier, it will be that much harder to use every day. I do like the pattern which I paid extra for but no one sees it but me (if I am doing things right) so I may just go with the base color if and when I get another for another gun, save a little money. I find I like appendix carry so I am motivated to figure out how to get this rig on.

My first Tier 1 holster (XIPHOS V2) for HK P30. Great, very precise fit. Trigger guard completely covered. Fit and finish is top notch. Fast delivery as well. I will be back for more holsters in the future!
Ben C.
Love the T1 holster! I’ve owned this specific model for 2 years and enjoy it. It’s hard finding good quality holsters for HK’s but T1C offers several different options. (Just wish they would update their HK gun list on the newer style of holsters)
Attached are some references pictures for the bigger guys. (200th parallel guys) 290lbs 5’9 and my P30SK can conceal with a dream with the 15rd extension and a factory VP9 / P30 17rd mag. It helps to get the wedge as well if you are looking for additional comfort.
Michael B.
I have three different holsters for my Glock 26 and the Tier 1 Xiphos V2 is easily my favorite for concealing with a tucked in shirt. The adjustable clips and side claw make for comfortable and discreet concealment. I give 4 stars instead of 5 due the lack of satisfying 'click' when gun is holstered. The Vedder and Tulster holsters feel like they grab the gun a bit more securely, which I prefer.
Daniel R.
I tried to get the exposure on these pictures to give it a real representation of the color. This is the Blood Red color. HKP30sk with the streamlight TLR-7A. Perfect fit as usual.
Johannes N.
Great gear. A bit bulkier than the T1M so I generally use that but it is more stable with the two clips. The customer support from tier 1 is top notch as well.
Duncan N.
Good quality and great customer service when i had questions before ordering
Gary K.
We all go through "multiple holster syndrome" trying to see what works best. The TC1 holster works the best -- secure, good placement, best concealability and comfort.
Matt M.
I own 2 of these. One with a Dhadow Systems Mr920/tlr-7 and a Glock 26/tlr-6. My favorite holster by far. I also have the Msp for my glock 17 w/ a spare mag but nothing beats this holster right here. I Edc appendix and forget the 26 is there sometimes. This will be my go to holster until given a reason not to.
Nick R.
I received my holster in time to take on vacation with me in the U.P. MI. Top notch work on this holster for my Glock 20. Gun Fits great and I’m looking forward to many years of use with it. Holster rides nice and conceals extremely well for full size Glock. Comfort was a concern for IWB full size, but it’s just as comfortable in my opinion as any sub-compact I carry. This will not be my last holster I buy from Tier 1. And get the discreet carry clips.
Matthew C.
Tier1 holsters are quality and their customer support team is excellent. I wish the spread on the clips would accommodate my belt, but I just adjusted how I wear it as pictured. I have a different T1 holster that does fit/accommodate the belt buckle. I didn’t think to measure.
Dean M.
I really like the holster. I ordered with the clips to wear with work clothes but it’s not quite slim enough. I put the plastic clips on and it works perfect with everyday casual clothes.
J Rick G.
It is an excellent holster, however, it isn't working to good for me. Even with the claw and wedge I cannot get it to conceal like I thought it would. Hopefully you can see what I mean with the attached photos. I'm 5'8" 180 lbs so not grossly overweight. I would still recommend your holsters, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thank you.
Matthew U.
This is my first ever holster and carry set up. Not only is it comfortable, it’s extremely easy to adjust to your body, fits my firearm perfectly, and looks great. Will 100% be purchasing more, cant wait for you guys to release more for fn and canik’s.
James A.
I bought this to be able to carry my full-size handgun concealed with a tucked in shirt. It works very well for that! Appendix carry is never as comfortable as over the belt carry, but for the ability to conceal so well, it’s worth it! This holster does a great job, and I’d say it’s the most comfortable option that I’ve found for appendix carry.
Daniel R.
I got this holster for the 365XL, and it was amazing. Wore it daily for 2 years, and it was virtually invisible. Tried it with a shield, and although the fit and feel is similar, I am slightly disappointed with all of the unused kydex. This holster seems to be designed for a subcompact gun, and anything smaller is just molded from the same size piece of kydex. I feel as though this information should be included in the description of the holster, and if it was, I would have ordered it for the glock 27 and not the shield.
Frank S.
Simple no frills holster. Gets the job done.
Jonathan C.
I love the holster. It’s got solid weapon retention but not too much. It holds solid to a variety of belts and is quite comfortable. Money well spent in my opinion and I’ll be buying another for my other carry gun in the future.
Jose L.
This is my 4th holster and as you all know we generally spend more money on holster that don’t work for us. However I will never go back to any other holster system again
Worth every penny!!!!
Hunter L.
This is my 3rd T1C holster and I plan to buy more. If T1C wants to send a glock 17 holster that’d be awesome. The price point for the Xiphos I find fair and though you have to wait it’s worth it. The adjustability puts the TRex arms holster to shame and the quality has yet to surprise me. Great quality through and through.
Joseph A.
Fits a P-07 with TLR7-A perfectly.
Kevin T.
Best holster so far. Recommend getting the metal clips instead of plastic. Fitting is great on CZ75 P01
WALTER L.
Perfect fit great product and price point
Micah Y.
Shipping was fast and the product itself is very sturdy but comfortable
James L.
Super comfortable especially due to the foam wedge. It took a little bit of time for the foam wedge to break in, but once it did, I hardly notice it. The retention is spot on. As my second holster from tier 1 concealed I can highly recommend the build quality and attest that these holsters are designed to withstand a lot. They hold up well and exceeded my expectations. The adjustable belt claw is my favorite aspect of this holster. The discreet carry clips could carry without a belt. Impressive!
Brian M.
Solid holster. This is my 3rd holster from t1c and it is just as reliable as my others. Smooth and consistent draw, tension screw works well, tucks in nice. I wish they weren't discontinuing it.
Michael T.
Great product. Conceals (1911 officer) very well. The addition of the foam wedge allows me to conceal in all types of clothing with almost no printing. The belt line prints before the gun does. 4 out of 5 because nothing is perfect. I'd give it 4.9 if that was an option.
Nathaniel D.
Retention is amazing, holster is the only one I’ll purchase, No slide skids, scratches, etc, pair it with a Kores essential belt, you can conceal carry any 9mm, 45, etc with great comfortably and confidence
Jonathan L.
Order the Xiphos V2 for my Canik TP9 SC. I choose this holster because of the minimalist size. However to due my body shape I needed to add wedges. I'm 5'11 170lbs 32" waist. It does rub, but you considering it is in your waist it is what it is. Probably with try the Xiphos elite next since it is allows for some curvature in your waist.
Remington M.
These holsters are awesome very comfortable there is no better way to conceal carry you get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend the wedge kit its worth it.
Travis H.
First holster from this company and I can’t believe how great it is! It’s genuinely made AIWB comfortable for me
DAMOND D.
Craftsmanship is great. Pretty comfortable. Extra kydex at the bottom is a little uncomfortable.
Drew B.
Leaving this review for those like me on the fence about a holster with or without an extra mag pouch. I bought both. This is a very comfortable holster but the Axis Elite is even more comfortable!!
Manuel O.
My 1st holster from T1 and its great..comfortable and its comfortable and concealed great. For sure my next one is coming from T1 again.
Brandon L.
Bought this as a gift for my father-in-law after he saw several of my T1C holsters. Needless to say he loves it!
John D.
Unfortunately, I have found that I hate appendix carry. The holster is very high quality, but it's another one that goes into the holster drawer.
Javier L.
Awesome hostel fits perfect very comfortable. No issues
Keith E.
For my purposes the holster is thin enough not to print, but yet sturdy enough to hold my carry comfortably and securely. The addition of a wedge makes a huge difference as well.
Joseph R.
One of the best holsters I've bought
Adam B.
Love it so much!
nate L.
Absolutely love the holster. Super comfortable. The belt clips are a little annoying but not a deal breaker. Literally the only holster I could find that supports an M&P 2.0 Compact with an RMR and TLR7a. This is my second Tier1 holster and I will continue purchasing and recommending them to my friends.
Carlos C.
Awesome retention, comfortable, sleek and very well done!
William O.
Great holster, but not for me. I find the "sidecar" style holster like the Axis to be more stable and better fitting.
Jesse M.
Without a doubt the best concealed carry holster
Kenneth N.
I love my XIPHOS, it is just as advertised. It holds my 43x mos securely and while carrying appendix, I fine it very comfortable. Thanks again for a wonderful product.

X Macro Tac Ops w EPS carry green dot…perfect fit, well made (as ALWAYS) and the pattern looks great!
Marcus K.
I got this as my first holster and it’s really great! My only regret is not getting the additional mag carrier.
Michael E.
Love it. Bought cheap holsters in the past, won’t happen again. You get your money’s worth with these. These at the best I’ve ever had. Great job Tier 1!
David Ray G.
Perfect retention without adjustment!!!
MARK S.
This holster not only looks awesome with the Warrior Poet theme, it’s well made and most importantly, comfortable! The deep concealment clips make the ride height adjustable where my G19 sites just right at appendix.
Thomas H.
This is my second holster from here and both are excellent.
Adam F.
I can always rely on the short turn around time, stoutly packaged, quickly shipped and well made holsters from T1C.
Joshua b.
It's pretty good. Was not a fan of the wing at all the second I tried it on. I took it off and it fits fine now. I don't recommend the ulti clips. They are sturdy and strong but make it super annoying to put on and take off my gun belt.
Jesse S.
Let's be real here, tier 1. It's tier 1... that's really all that is needed to be said. Top holster, hands down. I've had many. Have many. They are all in a dresser drawer not being used. Save yourself money and don't bother trying out others.
Guillermo C.
nice
Josue M.
Súper cómodo y se siente duradero fácil de ajustar 100% recomendado
Jackson V.
I purchased this for an sig p365xl and I love it. I find holsters that have the belt clips off to the side work better for me than holsters with the belt clip in the middle. I also use the tier one holster wedges and this is the most comfortable holster set up I have found for this fire arm. I found this holster most comfortable for myself only using the one belt clip that is attached to the claw.
Wade B.
Excellent buying experience, excellent product. Retention is excellent without ripping my belt off to draw. Superb, professional company all around. I'm getting a new daily carry pistol so unfortunately I have to order a new holster....definitely will be from T1C
steven p.
Comfortable to wear. Glock 43x first perfect. Really good holsters.
Andre C.
Great holster, I have several.
Travis S.
Wife loves this holster really concealable
Baden H.
Definitely became my go to holster for everyday use, the design and claw definitely help prevent excess bulging and keeps printing to a minimal, works great with different belts from 1.25In up to buy usual 1.5In sized belt, the clips do an excellent job grabbing your belt like no other clips I’ve used before. All around of the first holsters I’ve used that you can tell were made by people that are passionate and use the product they stand behind. Worth every penny
Armand B.
Works perfect for me, great product
Mikhail P.
I carry a full sized glock 17, most times even with a tti +6 mag extension. The Xiphos v2 makes it so easy to carry, it's provides great comfort, concealment and accessibility to my firearm. I highly recommend this holster
xavier h.
Best holster company in the game
Jonathan R.
This is my second Xiphos v2 holster from Tier 1. First one was for my p228/229 used a wedge kit and was most comfortable holster ever. Then recently switched to a G48 mos and went with another Xiphos v2 but tried out the Gunzee foam pad. The combo together is even better then my last xiphos V2 setup for my sig. I'd highly recommend Tier 1's Xiphos V2 optic ready and can be made to be light bearing as well.
Tim L.
All I can say is...OUTSTANDING!
Joshua P.
Dang nice holster an I have a bunch in a box this is very minimalist for having a optic an a light on you gun so much adjustment takes little bit to get it dailed in just because you can have it exactly how you want it nice job guys will get another for other guns
Wallace G.
Holster has been excellent from everything in jeans, dress pants and pjs. Highly recommend!
Nicholas R.
Great holster!
Steven C.
great build quality, custom kydex is perfect and it’s super comfortable to wear…Tier1 knocks it outta the park as usual!
Landon N.
Excellent product. This is my first appendix-carry holster, and the adjustability makes it perfect for anyone. I’m very slender, and my Glock 48 hardly prints at all even with tighter shirts. Thinking about getting something with the mag holder attached next, and it will definitely be from Tier 1 Concealed when I do.
Elliot T.
I'll give it four stars because it's made very well, and actually does improve the draw. However, it's not as comfortable or concealable as some other options on the market, nor as easily adjusted. I understand this is preferential and subjective to each individual, which is why I still give it praise for it's quality construction.
Carl M.
I purchased the Xiphos V2 for a Staccato C2. The build of the holster is excellent. Although I love the craftsmanship and weapon retention, I should have purchased the Xiphos Elite.
I am a small male, and the clip closest to my midline when in the appendix position, juts out almost 3/4”, making concealment tougher than necessary. I’ve removed the clip, so now basically have a T1-M, which lacks in stability. I believe the Xiphos Elite is the better way to go for both stability and conceal-ability.
MARK S.
Excellent!!!
william h.
The best holster to buy! Love how it fits and carries.
Daniel P.
Great
Tim L.
So once again I took a chance on a
XIPHOS V2 for my Bul armory sas ii ul, and I gotta tell ya it's freaking AWESOME.. I've been carrying for a long time and by far more comfortable than any of my others....would recommend highly... great job Tier 1 ....if there was a 6th star I'd check it!!
Michael W.
The best holsters I've seen.
Keep it coming. Oh, the Tier 1 videos. Boom.
Mike W.
Matt V.
Love it most comfortable and easy to conceal for my sig sauer m18 with tlr 1 light I love it will be buying one for every edc I have
Hayden G.
PERFECT holster all the way around. Comfortable, sleek, perfect. 10/10 recommend
justin r.
Have it on my p320 full size with a sure fire x300 and the fitment of the holster itself is amazing the firearm slides in and out of the holster smoother then my draw stroke can even handle
The finish on the holster is incredible as always, I have an axis slim for my p365XL and the quality of the tier 1 holster never ceases to amaze me. They’re a game changer and the highest of standard holsters in my book.
Kyle B.
I have been searching, and I have found the best holster! So comfortable while driving and walking. My next purchase will be the axis elite.
Andrew S.
I have went through like most gun guys about 5 different holster companies. From tulster to insane kydex creations. And t rex arms and not that I didn't love them I just found something I didn't like about each one. I ordered the v2 tier 1 and I absolutely love it. This is the first claw system I actually like I useto hate the holster claws I took them off. This one is so nice there is a reason they are so popular.
Tim L.
So I do have my favorites like tulster and vedder for the past 6 or 7 years. I've read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos on tier 1 holsters. I got to admit the wait time sucks, BUUUUUT it was well worth it.. it's very odd because tier 1 holsters are wider than other holsters but somehow it's more comfortable.. can't explain it it just is! With the two clips and the way the claw is mounted I didn't think I would like it. No pinching no digging no moving around. All I can say Is OUTSTANDING!! Great job tier 1
Jim L.
Holster is great ! Been using it for a couple of months now and I'm very happy. Made several road trips of few hours each. Works well. You know it's there but is not uncomfortable. Concealment is good, even with a mid-size 1911. Used it with a loose T-shirt. The claw is the way to go. Drawing the gun and putting it back is a breeze. Overall I'm very, very happy with the holster !
Orion R.
This is a decent holster for the Shadow Systems MR920 but its not molded for the MR920 even tho its sold as such through the selection I made when ordering, it is 100% molded for the G19, im giving it 4 stars for this reason and also because it has a 1/4" of slide in and out play with the MR920 and zero play with the G19, a much better fit. After close examination the reason my G19 fits better is because the G19 trigger guard is thicker and not undercut like the 920 so the kydex fits snug and doesn't allow play. The holster I received also has a retention problem with both the G19 and the MR920, in order to make the pistol drawable while wearing it the retention adjustment has to be backed literally all the way out with just a thread maybe two left. If I adjust it any tighter the retention is so tight it pulls my belt and pants and will not release the firearm without a strong ripping force one that could get someone killed since they won't be able to draw their weapon. I put loctite on the screw where I like it and it draws nicely there but again one maybe two threads is all that holds the screw. Other than that its a nice quality holster, the T1c clips will do the job but I put different ones on mine since the T1c clips are bulky. There are better holsters for the same price so I give it 4 stars.
Jeffrey M.
Simply the BEST!
This is my 3rd T1C holster (2 appendix carry and 1 OWB). All have been perfect for the weapon they were designed for. This model is the most comfortable appendix carry holster I’ve found. I’ve even been on 6 hour road trips wearing this the whole time and been completely comfortable. I can’t say that about any other holster. Love the adjustments available to get that custom fit. Each item arrives just as ordered, no problems or unwanted surprises, and simply an awesome company that cares about the product that goes out the door. A convinced customer here as I have referred all of my friends that want an appendix carry holster to check out T1C.
Manny R.
Good quality and durable, the fitment is very good with the firearm. I now own 3 T1 holsters and I recommend them to anyone thinking of getting one..
Christopher L.
Great Holster. Most holster can’t compete, nice fit and love it great product!
Eliah S.
Mixed feelings on this. First off, I ordered with the ulticlips without understanding that they were not meant to clip to belt. That's my bad. Keeping them in case I get running again (doubt ). This is nothing for or against this holster, just being honest about my lack of research.
Thankfully though it came with standard clips as well. They are bulky but seem durable. They are thick and do print in snug shirts. The claw attachment comes very aggressive (good) and is easily scaled down if desired.
My hang up is that it is less comfortable in appendix than my last daily carry and that was with a sidecar/spare mag version (different company). That is certainly impacted by being larger gun (cz p07 vs a smaller p365xl). This holster is comfortable on the hip though.
Right now I'm on the fence on ordering another sidecar version (maybe that's just what I'm used to) or ordering different clips for on the hip carry.

Fits a P-07 with TLR7-A perfectly.
Kevin T.
Best holster so far. Recommend getting the metal clips instead of plastic. Fitting is great on CZ75 P01
WALTER L.
Perfect fit great product and price point
Micah Y.
Shipping was fast and the product itself is very sturdy but comfortable
James L.
Super comfortable especially due to the foam wedge. It took a little bit of time for the foam wedge to break in, but once it did, I hardly notice it. The retention is spot on. As my second holster from tier 1 concealed I can highly recommend the build quality and attest that these holsters are designed to withstand a lot. They hold up well and exceeded my expectations. The adjustable belt claw is my favorite aspect of this holster. The discreet carry clips could carry without a belt. Impressive!
Brian M.
Solid holster. This is my 3rd holster from t1c and it is just as reliable as my others. Smooth and consistent draw, tension screw works well, tucks in nice. I wish they weren't discontinuing it.
Michael T.
Great product. Conceals (1911 officer) very well. The addition of the foam wedge allows me to conceal in all types of clothing with almost no printing. The belt line prints before the gun does. 4 out of 5 because nothing is perfect. I'd give it 4.9 if that was an option.
Nathaniel D.
Retention is amazing, holster is the only one I’ll purchase, No slide skids, scratches, etc, pair it with a Kores essential belt, you can conceal carry any 9mm, 45, etc with great comfortably and confidence

Order the Xiphos V2 for my Canik TP9 SC. I choose this holster because of the minimalist size. However to due my body shape I needed to add wedges. I'm 5'11 170lbs 32" waist. It does rub, but you considering it is in your waist it is what it is. Probably with try the Xiphos elite next since it is allows for some curvature in your waist.
Remington M.
These holsters are awesome very comfortable there is no better way to conceal carry you get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend the wedge kit its worth it.
Travis H.
First holster from this company and I can’t believe how great it is! It’s genuinely made AIWB comfortable for me
DAMOND D.
Craftsmanship is great. Pretty comfortable. Extra kydex at the bottom is a little uncomfortable.
Drew B.
Leaving this review for those like me on the fence about a holster with or without an extra mag pouch. I bought both. This is a very comfortable holster but the Axis Elite is even more comfortable!!
Manuel O.
My 1st holster from T1 and its great..comfortable and its comfortable and concealed great. For sure my next one is coming from T1 again.
Brandon L.
Bought this as a gift for my father-in-law after he saw several of my T1C holsters. Needless to say he loves it!
John D.
Unfortunately, I have found that I hate appendix carry. The holster is very high quality, but it's another one that goes into the holster drawer.
Javier L.
Awesome hostel fits perfect very comfortable. No issues
Keith E.
For my purposes the holster is thin enough not to print, but yet sturdy enough to hold my carry comfortably and securely. The addition of a wedge makes a huge difference as well.
Joseph R.
One of the best holsters I've bought
Adam B.
Love it so much!
nate L.
Absolutely love the holster. Super comfortable. The belt clips are a little annoying but not a deal breaker. Literally the only holster I could find that supports an M&P 2.0 Compact with an RMR and TLR7a. This is my second Tier1 holster and I will continue purchasing and recommending them to my friends.
Carlos C.
Awesome retention, comfortable, sleek and very well done!
William O.
Great holster, but not for me. I find the "sidecar" style holster like the Axis to be more stable and better fitting.
Jesse M.
Without a doubt the best concealed carry holster
Kenneth N.
I love my XIPHOS, it is just as advertised. It holds my 43x mos securely and while carrying appendix, I fine it very comfortable. Thanks again for a wonderful product.

X Macro Tac Ops w EPS carry green dot…perfect fit, well made (as ALWAYS) and the pattern looks great!
Marcus K.
I got this as my first holster and it’s really great! My only regret is not getting the additional mag carrier.
Michael E.
Love it. Bought cheap holsters in the past, won’t happen again. You get your money’s worth with these. These at the best I’ve ever had. Great job Tier 1!
David Ray G.
Perfect retention without adjustment!!!
MARK S.
This holster not only looks awesome with the Warrior Poet theme, it’s well made and most importantly, comfortable! The deep concealment clips make the ride height adjustable where my G19 sites just right at appendix.
Thomas H.
This is my second holster from here and both are excellent.
Adam F.
I can always rely on the short turn around time, stoutly packaged, quickly shipped and well made holsters from T1C.
Joshua b.
It's pretty good. Was not a fan of the wing at all the second I tried it on. I took it off and it fits fine now. I don't recommend the ulti clips. They are sturdy and strong but make it super annoying to put on and take off my gun belt.
Jesse S.
Let's be real here, tier 1. It's tier 1... that's really all that is needed to be said. Top holster, hands down. I've had many. Have many. They are all in a dresser drawer not being used. Save yourself money and don't bother trying out others.
Guillermo C.
nice
Josue M.
Súper cómodo y se siente duradero fácil de ajustar 100% recomendado
Jackson V.
I purchased this for an sig p365xl and I love it. I find holsters that have the belt clips off to the side work better for me than holsters with the belt clip in the middle. I also use the tier one holster wedges and this is the most comfortable holster set up I have found for this fire arm. I found this holster most comfortable for myself only using the one belt clip that is attached to the claw.
Wade B.
Excellent buying experience, excellent product. Retention is excellent without ripping my belt off to draw. Superb, professional company all around. I'm getting a new daily carry pistol so unfortunately I have to order a new holster....definitely will be from T1C
steven p.
Comfortable to wear. Glock 43x first perfect. Really good holsters.
Andre C.
Great holster, I have several.
Travis S.
Wife loves this holster really concealable
Baden H.
Definitely became my go to holster for everyday use, the design and claw definitely help prevent excess bulging and keeps printing to a minimal, works great with different belts from 1.25In up to buy usual 1.5In sized belt, the clips do an excellent job grabbing your belt like no other clips I’ve used before. All around of the first holsters I’ve used that you can tell were made by people that are passionate and use the product they stand behind. Worth every penny
Armand B.
Works perfect for me, great product
Mikhail P.
I carry a full sized glock 17, most times even with a tti +6 mag extension. The Xiphos v2 makes it so easy to carry, it's provides great comfort, concealment and accessibility to my firearm. I highly recommend this holster
xavier h.
Best holster company in the game
Jonathan R.
This is my second Xiphos v2 holster from Tier 1. First one was for my p228/229 used a wedge kit and was most comfortable holster ever. Then recently switched to a G48 mos and went with another Xiphos v2 but tried out the Gunzee foam pad. The combo together is even better then my last xiphos V2 setup for my sig. I'd highly recommend Tier 1's Xiphos V2 optic ready and can be made to be light bearing as well.
Tim L.
All I can say is...OUTSTANDING!
Joshua P.
Dang nice holster an I have a bunch in a box this is very minimalist for having a optic an a light on you gun so much adjustment takes little bit to get it dailed in just because you can have it exactly how you want it nice job guys will get another for other guns
Wallace G.
Holster has been excellent from everything in jeans, dress pants and pjs. Highly recommend!
Nicholas R.
Great holster!
Steven C.
great build quality, custom kydex is perfect and it’s super comfortable to wear…Tier1 knocks it outta the park as usual!
Landon N.
Excellent product. This is my first appendix-carry holster, and the adjustability makes it perfect for anyone. I’m very slender, and my Glock 48 hardly prints at all even with tighter shirts. Thinking about getting something with the mag holder attached next, and it will definitely be from Tier 1 Concealed when I do.
Elliot T.
I'll give it four stars because it's made very well, and actually does improve the draw. However, it's not as comfortable or concealable as some other options on the market, nor as easily adjusted. I understand this is preferential and subjective to each individual, which is why I still give it praise for it's quality construction.
Carl M.
I purchased the Xiphos V2 for a Staccato C2. The build of the holster is excellent. Although I love the craftsmanship and weapon retention, I should have purchased the Xiphos Elite.
I am a small male, and the clip closest to my midline when in the appendix position, juts out almost 3/4”, making concealment tougher than necessary. I’ve removed the clip, so now basically have a T1-M, which lacks in stability. I believe the Xiphos Elite is the better way to go for both stability and conceal-ability.
MARK S.
Excellent!!!
william h.
The best holster to buy! Love how it fits and carries.
Daniel P.
Great
Tim L.
So once again I took a chance on a
XIPHOS V2 for my Bul armory sas ii ul, and I gotta tell ya it's freaking AWESOME.. I've been carrying for a long time and by far more comfortable than any of my others....would recommend highly... great job Tier 1 ....if there was a 6th star I'd check it!!
Michael W.
The best holsters I've seen.
Keep it coming. Oh, the Tier 1 videos. Boom.
Mike W.
Matt V.
Love it most comfortable and easy to conceal for my sig sauer m18 with tlr 1 light I love it will be buying one for every edc I have
Hayden G.
PERFECT holster all the way around. Comfortable, sleek, perfect. 10/10 recommend
justin r.
Have it on my p320 full size with a sure fire x300 and the fitment of the holster itself is amazing the firearm slides in and out of the holster smoother then my draw stroke can even handle
The finish on the holster is incredible as always, I have an axis slim for my p365XL and the quality of the tier 1 holster never ceases to amaze me. They’re a game changer and the highest of standard holsters in my book.
Kyle B.
I have been searching, and I have found the best holster! So comfortable while driving and walking. My next purchase will be the axis elite.
Andrew S.
I have went through like most gun guys about 5 different holster companies. From tulster to insane kydex creations. And t rex arms and not that I didn't love them I just found something I didn't like about each one. I ordered the v2 tier 1 and I absolutely love it. This is the first claw system I actually like I useto hate the holster claws I took them off. This one is so nice there is a reason they are so popular.
Tim L.
So I do have my favorites like tulster and vedder for the past 6 or 7 years. I've read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos on tier 1 holsters. I got to admit the wait time sucks, BUUUUUT it was well worth it.. it's very odd because tier 1 holsters are wider than other holsters but somehow it's more comfortable.. can't explain it it just is! With the two clips and the way the claw is mounted I didn't think I would like it. No pinching no digging no moving around. All I can say Is OUTSTANDING!! Great job tier 1
Jim L.
Holster is great ! Been using it for a couple of months now and I'm very happy. Made several road trips of few hours each. Works well. You know it's there but is not uncomfortable. Concealment is good, even with a mid-size 1911. Used it with a loose T-shirt. The claw is the way to go. Drawing the gun and putting it back is a breeze. Overall I'm very, very happy with the holster !
Orion R.
This is a decent holster for the Shadow Systems MR920 but its not molded for the MR920 even tho its sold as such through the selection I made when ordering, it is 100% molded for the G19, im giving it 4 stars for this reason and also because it has a 1/4" of slide in and out play with the MR920 and zero play with the G19, a much better fit. After close examination the reason my G19 fits better is because the G19 trigger guard is thicker and not undercut like the 920 so the kydex fits snug and doesn't allow play. The holster I received also has a retention problem with both the G19 and the MR920, in order to make the pistol drawable while wearing it the retention adjustment has to be backed literally all the way out with just a thread maybe two left. If I adjust it any tighter the retention is so tight it pulls my belt and pants and will not release the firearm without a strong ripping force one that could get someone killed since they won't be able to draw their weapon. I put loctite on the screw where I like it and it draws nicely there but again one maybe two threads is all that holds the screw. Other than that its a nice quality holster, the T1c clips will do the job but I put different ones on mine since the T1c clips are bulky. There are better holsters for the same price so I give it 4 stars.
Jeffrey M.
Simply the BEST!
This is my 3rd T1C holster (2 appendix carry and 1 OWB). All have been perfect for the weapon they were designed for. This model is the most comfortable appendix carry holster I’ve found. I’ve even been on 6 hour road trips wearing this the whole time and been completely comfortable. I can’t say that about any other holster. Love the adjustments available to get that custom fit. Each item arrives just as ordered, no problems or unwanted surprises, and simply an awesome company that cares about the product that goes out the door. A convinced customer here as I have referred all of my friends that want an appendix carry holster to check out T1C.
Manny R.
Good quality and durable, the fitment is very good with the firearm. I now own 3 T1 holsters and I recommend them to anyone thinking of getting one..
Christopher L.
Great Holster. Most holster can’t compete, nice fit and love it great product!
Eliah S.
Mixed feelings on this. First off, I ordered with the ulticlips without understanding that they were not meant to clip to belt. That's my bad. Keeping them in case I get running again (doubt ). This is nothing for or against this holster, just being honest about my lack of research.
Thankfully though it came with standard clips as well. They are bulky but seem durable. They are thick and do print in snug shirts. The claw attachment comes very aggressive (good) and is easily scaled down if desired.
My hang up is that it is less comfortable in appendix than my last daily carry and that was with a sidecar/spare mag version (different company). That is certainly impacted by being larger gun (cz p07 vs a smaller p365xl). This holster is comfortable on the hip though.
Right now I'm on the fence on ordering another sidecar version (maybe that's just what I'm used to) or ordering different clips for on the hip carry.

The XIPHOS V2 is an appendix carry holster that has been designed to be minimalistic, but also very sturdy and reliable. Being that it is designed to be worn in the front of the body, it is fitted with 2 standard 5-hole clips that keep the holster in place for smooth draw and re-holster every time, as well as our new proprietary concealment claw that pulls the gun into the body for ultimate concealment. The XIPHOS also features adjustable retention and ride height. Looking for something that can carry an extra magazine? Check out the AGIS, AXIS SLIM, or our Mag Carriers!
