AXIS ELITE
$135.99

Very comfortable. Fits like it was made for my gun (duh). Spreads the weight out off of my back, and it is the 1st appendix carry holster I have ever "liked." Well done.
Brian S.
Love the holster! Conceals very well
John F.
Honestly it is the best holster out. I use this every time I shoot uspsa and I can get enough of how comfortable and efficient this holster truly is. It’s the first holster I’ve ever gotten were I want multiples for the same gun. Get one then get another. Or get them all!!! You can’t go wrong
Gordon D.
Axis elite + 43x is where it's at, especially for summer time carry, almost forget I'm wearing it sometimes
casey b.
Great holster. Very happy with the product and the customer service. Made in U.S.A. Best iwb holster available I.M.O. I will be sending business your way.
Justin S.
I was a little skeptical about appendix carry and the comfort ability of it. This holster is very comfortable and fits perfect. After watching a few videos from tier one on how to appendix carry day to day it took away any doubts I had. Absolutely no complaints. Just working to figure out which wedge works best with me
Nicholas S.
The most comfortable and concealable holster I’ve ever had, and I’ve owned a lot. I will be recommending this to all my customers (gunsmithing.
Daulton A.
Love the holster, very comfortable and great retention. I’ll be buying one for my other guns too!
Ernest S.
Love the holster it's comfortable and hugs my body really well as a bigger guy it's still comfy enough to conceal
Bo W.
I have few other brands and tier1 is now my goto and others unfortunately collect dust right now. So if you still debating to get Tier1 or not, stop and just do it. Most comfortable one I have. Loving it.

I am 6'3" at 270 pounds so a bit thick on the organic armor. For those with a bit of a FUPA, order the wedges to help with the corners of the holster (gun and mag side) digging into your pelvic fluffy areas. I think that maybe next gen can do with a smoother contour of the gun/mag carrier on the corners to help on the issue. Only problem I see that can be easily fixed is that the adjustable "claw" segments can have an added slope to make it easier for the belt to slip over the claw and under the clip (I am getting some claw pieces 3D printed to fix this). Besides those two points the holster is excellent, adjustable and flexible, sturdy, light weight and... sexy :) Don't shy away from appendix carry because of a little bit of gut, try this one out.
JOHN M.
Very well made. Everything smooth, edges are great, absolutely no issues with the holster. I’m a belly kind of guy, I never thought I could appendix carry due to the holster I have tried. I’m not going to lie… it was very odd the first time I put the Axis Elite in my pants. Let’s be honest, fat boy with a Glock 19 and a spare mag in places that I wasn’t used to. Took maybe a couple days to get use to it but now it’s freakin awesome. Still losing weight so it’s only going to get better. SO GLAD I gave T1C a chance, I will definitely be ordering for other edc pistols.
Jesse S.
One of the best holsters I’ve ever owned and great customer service.
Nathan H.
It was worth the wait. Fits great and it conceals so much better than other holsters I have used. I will always use Tier 1 holsters in the future. I recommend these holsters.
Jonathan W.
I ordered this for my hellcat pro after a coworker showed his to me and bragged how comfortable it was to wear. I would agree, this is the most comfortable appendix carry holster that I own. I really like the option to carry an extra magazine also. I ordered the wedge kit but haven’t needed to use it. Anyone who is on the fence about a good edc holster they should give this one a try.
L K.
Can’t get a better appendix holster anywhere on the market.
Nick K.
A very well made holster. The design, construction and quality are quite impressive. It’s retentive, and comfortable. A really nice option for a Glock 43x with optic and light. Price was comparable and competitive to other similar brands. The lead time quoted was a few weeks and was executed faster than expected. Thanks!
Anthony O.
This is the best IWB holster I have ever used. I've tried tons over the years but this is the most comfortable, most concealable, and most adjustable I have used. Great attention to detail!!! Won't go back. Lifelong customer!!!!
James O.
Holster is fantastic. Color is extra sexy and vibrant. Communicated with T1C prior to ordering about using G19 w/ Comp and they put that in the order notes to accommodate. Longer holster length actually conceals better than standard G19 size. There was a little color flaking from inside holster that would coat my slide which T1C says is normal. I’ll keep an eye on it. Would like to get some DCC clips and a wedge on it soon but for now, this holster is still the best.
Jonathan G.
This thing conceals better than anything else I’ve tried! It’s super comfortable too. I got the normal clips because the discreet carry concepts were sold out and honestly the normal clips are just fine. A+ holster, for sure
Kristopher K.
All day comfortable concealed carry.
Christopher S.
Yup, their holsters are the best. This is my third Tier 1 holster. Stop buying other holsters and just pay the money for an Axis Elite because they are worth every cent. I use a Qore precision pad behind mine now but I’ve used the wedges too. They are both good
Paul H.
I previously had been using the dinosaur companies sidecar 2.0. It's comfortable, but once I got the axis elite for my G22 and got the ride height set to my liking... WOW! It's super comfortable I'm a bigger guy and have 0 issues carrying appendix with a spare mag. The design and adjustability of your claw is next level. It can be moved up and down plus thickness can be changed. The real big difference that made the most difference to me though is the use of the shock cord. It not only let's the holster form to your circumstance, but it also let's the mag move up and down slightly. As well as forward and back so it can be against your body tighter and not bind up when you start doing your hot yoga routine... or whatever else you do that involves bending over or twisting in awkward positions.
Daniel J.
I bought another holster before this and thought I wouldn't be able to conceal appendix because of how much it printed. With the axis elite I don't even have to think about it. I'm a 5'6" male and weigh about 150. If you're on the fence about it do yourself a favor and buy one. I won't be getting holsters from anywhere else from now on.
Kyle C.
This holster is amazing! It’s already hard enough to find options that include light attachments, RDS cutouts, and the extra mag carrier attachment. This holster had everything I wanted and performs even better than anticipated. It is completely concealed even if I’m wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the cord attached mag carrier flexes perfectly with my movement. On top of all of the performance, it’s one great looking piece of gear. I couldn’t be happier.
matthew m.
Made the switch from G-Code and I wish I would have sooner! This thing is awesome!!
Jonathan R.
10/10. Fits perfect, flexes well, accommodates everything I wanted on it, and I haven’t had to futs around with it at all.
Steven K.
I love this holster. The one thing I wish was an option was a neoprene backing to make it a little more comfortable. I would pay the money for an option for a form fitting optional backer that was stick on, similar to the way the wedges are if it was available in a heartbeat.
Peter C.
Excellent product. Not a single complaint regarding quality and workmanship. It is definitely everything I needed it to be. Which is not to be confused with the weight of a full size pistol and more than a box of ammo being tightly held against your appendix. That “is what it is”. The holster however is absolutely the best way to carry in the front.
Antrelle B.
First T1C holster and I’m not sure why I waited so many years.
Chris T.
Despite this holster having a larger profile, it is extremely comfortable even while seated in my little Honda Fit. Extremely happy with my purchase. Worth the wait!
Timothy F.
Comfortable and discreet. Don't notice it most of the time. Very good construction and easy retention adjustment.
Kameron P.
Amazing fit. No printing what so ever on Sig XMacro with TLR-7A. Have recommended to everyone who has bought one from me.
Jon N.
This is my second holster that I’ve ordered from you all. I also have a TRex Arms holster. As much as I like that, I feel that yours is more comfortable to wear especially for appendix carry. I will buy holsters from Tier 1 so long as you make
Them for the pieces that I purchase.
Christopher J.
Great holster. Very comfortable sitting or standing
Anthony B.
I love this holster for my cr920. So far its the best concealment and most comfortable holster I have used while maintaining safety as opposed to a sticky holster or something soft. I have one for my mr920 elite as well which also conceals nicely for a larger load. I have to say - if you're looking for a highly functional holster in practicality and comfort, look no further. Shadow Systems Cr920p comes out soon, hope to see one available for it!
Zachary B.
This is my second tier 1 holster. They never cease to amaze me when it comes to full size carry. No printing and comfort is not usually used in the same sentence when it comes to a holster. A+
Steve G.
Highly functional, and comfortable. Any future holster will be a Tier 1! Thanks
Patrick M.
This is my second Tier 1 Holster, Fits well and very comfortable once you get it adjusted. I do recommend getting the wedge kit.
Joseph A.
Wanted to originally cancel my order….. for the reason of being nervous to appendix carry a Glock 17 with a x300 ultra on it. They told me I couldn’t cancel. Turns out it was for the best. I love this holster it’s much more comfortable than I expected an appendix holster to be. If you’re new to conceal carry and want to conceal carry I’d go with Tier 1. I never thought I would be able to appendix carry but this holster proved to me it’s very possible. Thanks to tier 1 concealed you guys are great keep up the good work and keep training
Eduardo M.
This holster is great. I paired it with the Kore belt and I love it.
I love the fact that I can bend down to tie my shoes without a stabbing pain.
Now I can appendix carry my Glock with a flashlight thanks Tier 1
Lyle V.
Great quality it’s secure and holds everything very well!
Ryan S.
Amazing fit and build for my Staccato P. Not easy finding a left handed holster for this setup but Tier One made it super simple. I’ll definitely be a returning customer
Fred
BELIEVE THE HYPE! Let me start by saying I am not one to leave reviews, but felt so strongly about this that I had to. I am a chubbier guy (5’10 245lbs size 38 waist and XL-XXL shirt…ya ya ya I know lose some weight) that would use an alien gear cloak for my mr920/g19 which wasn’t terribly uncomfortable but not ideal carrying on my side as it wasn’t as concealable. I would appendix carry my XDS (3.3in barrel) but appendix carry just wasn’t comfortable for me and even though the xds is small I still printed and the gun would dig into my skin. I figured I just wouldn’t be able to appendix carry until I lost weight. After researching (YouTube reviews, articles, etc), I came across Tier1 and I’ll admit I was skeptical given my past history with appendix carrying. I almost didn’t pull the trigger due to the wait period and price (not that it’s expensive for a holster but I found it expensive to gamble on since I did not have high expectations for appendix carrying) BUT figured I’ve been wanting to appendix carry comfortably for the longest so I said fine. Let me tell you that this holster has changed my carry conceal experience. Not only am I able to appendix my mr920/g19 BUT I opted for the TLR-1 light option which makes it slightly bulkier and now I able to carry an extra mag and WOW. I tried it on with some jeans and just a T-shirt and I was shocked that I wasn’t printing and it was surprisingly comfortable. Also note, I have a carry conceal belt for the added thickness and support and that didn’t help much with my last appendix holster, but paired with this it made a world of difference. Not to mention the color looks absolutely amazing. I almost went with the standard black as they were a quick ship option, but I am glad I waited the extra few weeks to get the color option I wanted!! I will absolutely be a repeat customer and will highly recommend!
Gary V.
Bought this with concealment in mind using a Sig Sauer P365
X-Macro. Let me tell y'all. X-Macro 17rds, full grip, skinny, small footprint, tlr7a light, holosun red dot combined with T1 Axis Elite, absolute concealment! I didn't think carrying an x-macro would make a difference but it did. Compared to carrying my Sw Mp 2.0 4.25 in the T1 Xiphos, X macro in the axis elite is soo much more concealable (duh) due to it being skinny and smaller overall. Love this holster! My favorite so far! Would definitely recommend Tier 1 Concealed as a go to for the great concealment! 10/10
Matthew J.
Great holster! Comfortable, while giving you the ability to get a consistent draw.
Jeremy C.
Fits perfect, awesome holster!
Corey T.
I’ve waisted so much money on different brands of holsters and after wearing this one I’m never going back. It’s by far the most comfortable for edc!
Timothy M.
I've been very curious about the Tier 1 Axis Elite for awhile. I finally..."pulled the trigger " and got one and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. It's truly the most comfortable IWB holster I own.
Kyle S.
This is a surprisingly comfortable wear. I'm not used to appendix carry, so I'm m still getting used to it, but it is far better than I expected. The lead time advertised was overestimated, so it arrived sooner than expected.
Great experience with the company and the product. Looking forward to buying more in the future.
Michael M.
Very comfortable, durable, adjustable, and secure. Couldn’t ask for a better holster!
Thomas C.
Tier1 is the best of the best!!! And yes, don’t spend your money on other cheaper holsters, trust me go straight for Tier1. They are 100% worth the value. Most comfortable and concealable holster I’ve ever had. You won’t run into the problems you will have with the cheaper ones. Go for TIER1.
Stephen C.
Hands down the most comfortable holster I've ever worn!
Jerrod H.
I have a Werkz holster with side car for my P365x. I couldn't believe the night and day concealability between the Werkz holster for that gun and the Axis elite with side car for my CZ P10C with TLR1. I can hide the P10C so much better which is almost twice the size! Tier1 holsters are just hands down designed better for IWB carry than any other holster on the market!
Chris L.
New to appendix carrying and I'm getting use to this holster. I'm not a fit person and I have a bit of a belly so it tends to push the firearm out and pointing more into me. The wedge kit does help with that a bit. Just got to get use to pulling pants up, pants down, adjusting belt, or even pushing the holster out to get comfortable when sitting. I'm still getting over the fact the firearm is pointing in/at me and our bodies aren't perfect angles. Even standing or sitting, just got to get over the fact a firearm is angle into/at me. I know it's holstered and the firearm doesn't go off on it's own so it's "safe" but I have faith in the equipment I use and this holster as well. guards the trigger and there isn't any awkward edges to catch the trigger. Other thing I would like to mention if just rocking a T-Shirt, when holstering when sitting in a chair or car seat. I have to be aware of pinching my belly skin. I just tuck my fingers behind the holster as a guide when holstering. Almost similar to when putting a sword back in the sheath. Just using my hand as a guide.
Only real problem I have is when using a 1 3/4" belt(Kore). I have to give it some tension before clipping on the holster. Tends to have some slack, so I would have to pull on the belt to get it to be flush with my body. Don't have that issue with 1 1/2" belt since there is room for play.
Steve S.
I just went up on a TLR7 Sub after discovering that Tier 1 was making this holster in a compatible format. It's slightly more bulky but not much and the addition of a weapon light on my EDC outweighs the minor additional size. Love this holster and my standard one.
Armando D.
Excellent! I’ve heard great things about this holster and I gotta say it lives up to the hype!
Way above anything else in the market in terms of comfort and practicality.
Robert I.
Finally got a carry gun I’m planning to have for a long time and wanted to get the best appendix holster for it I could. I’d heard good things from forums and reviews, I watched a lot of the Tier 1 videos on YouTube. I agonized over the details because it was a big purchase and finally decided to pull the trigger. I was coming from a 4 brothers style claw holster with a separate mag carrier but wanted something nicer that I could use my TLR-7A with. The axis elite holster fits great. It was a little tight at first and put some rub marks on the slide, but that stopped after a couple weeks. The wedges were a little stiffer than I expected, having previously made my own from a softer foam, so I had to order some mediums instead of the large. As they say, the light bearing holsters don’t click, but my gun feels secure. I love having the ability to adjust both the clips and the claw in height. It makes finding that balance of concealment and ease of purchase when drawing and I’m enjoying not smashing my knuckles on my belt or claw any more. I’d definitely recommend and would purchase again. Thanks Tier 1 for the great product and the great training videos. I’ve been using your printed targets to run drills with lately and I appreciate the effort you guys make to make us better.
Scott R.
Totally digging it…carrying everywhere I can an no one has a clue
Chad B.
excellent holster! first experience with tier1 products. I've been familiar with the hype but this exceeded my expectations. awesome work!
Michael T.
I’m a larger guy, 270lbs with a gut. Able to wear this holster with their wedges and it’s the most comfortable holster I own.
Manuel D.
It’s very confortable. I love it
Gustavo D.
Had never been able to carry appendix till I tried tier1, awesome holsters
Zach B.
Absolutely worth every penny. I took a 5 hour trip and didn’t have to take it off in the car. Every other holster I’ve used I have to take off in longer car rides. The wedges are worth ordering as well if you’re on the fence about them.
Adrian R.
Great quality holster fits great and conceals amazing.
Darrian L.
All around great service and product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will definitely buy another soon!
James O.
Loving the new holster! Got rid of all the other ones that just weren’t too comfortable or concealing very well. Need to try the DCC clips and see if that takes it to another level.
Stephen G.
Outstanding comfort and concealment! Just ordered Xiphos Elite! Outstanding craftsmanship!
David T.
Had to replace the grommet for the mag carrier with a slightly thicker one for my personal preference in retention, but an amazing holster nonetheless. The first one where I haven’t had to adjust the height of the belt clips out of the box unlike 5 or 6 holsters from other brands.
Austin N.
Great holster. It has it all, great retention, concealment and comfort.
Kevin D.
I have tried numerous holsters for concealment over my 12 years in law enforcement. This is by far my favorite and most comfortable.
Brandon W.
The comfort level of this holster is insane!!
Jake E.
I'm a slim guy, and this holster with the wedge kit allows me to carry a G19 and a 21 round extra magazine without printing. It's very comfy too, all considered.
Frank A.
Well made, flexible and comfortable holster. Very impressed with how it hid my P320 Carry and spare mag.
Trevor L.
Great holster! Second one I’ve gotten and can’t wait to get another.
Mason D.
Best IWB holster I’ve ever owned. Extremely comfortable. Great retention. Love it.
Logan I.
First and foremost this is a great holster! Everything from comfort to quality and ease of use , for majority of the time I carry with this holster it often feels as if nothing is there , there is minimal to no printing and the Axis Elite bends perfectly to your body. Some days when you are bloated could kind of be in the way or a little discomfort atleast for me. Overall loving the holster so far and if in the future Tier1 offers holsters for a different weapon I purchase I will definitely consider Tier1 for holster needs!
Ryan S.
I work in law enforcement and carry off-duty everyday. I have used several holsters before being referred to this one. If you want the most quality ccw holster, this is it. Most comfortable, most concealable, most capable. Buy once, cry once. Highly recommend.
Christopher B.
I have always been a 4-5 o' clock type of carrier. I tried appendix around 10 years back and was not a fan at all with the holsters available at the time. I recently decided to give appendix another try and was recommended this holster by a friend.
I have to say this is probably the most comfortable way to carry IWB. Even better it is so low profile I can get away with just wearing a normal t-shirt and still not print.
Fantastic product. Would highly recommend.
Ron A.
My second Tier One. Extremely well made, great quality. Fit, form and function 100%. My go to holster.
Dan S.
Great Holster! I previously carried a CrossBreed leather and kydex holster and my problem with it was that it was blocky and uncomfortable to carry appendix plus its retention wasn't great. I use an o-light pl-mini2 and a red dot on my carry gun and I wish I would have found Tier 1 sooner. I have tried a number of different holsters, and it is by far the best! It disappears on my body, and I carry a full sized Glock 17... with virtually 0 printing. It is comfortable to sit down with carrying appendix, and driving I almost forget it is there. Truly couldn't be happier with it! The only bummer is that it takes a while to get to you. It took about 3 weeks, which in this instant gratification world seems like forever. It is, however, worth the wait!
Jerry J.
When I need a holster I get a Tier 1. Play around and find the wedge sizes that best fit your EDC lifestyle. I use a small and wear the Axis Elite all day without the kydex bothering. If you need more padding you can always add more wedges and mix match sizes to your best fit. Always recommend Tier 1 to anyone that needs a holster. Great quality, excellent customer service. Do yourself a favor and get one.
Joel A.
Great product and comfortable. Edges are not sharp like other Kydex holsters which makes them more comfortable to wear and draw from without cutting yourself.
Aaron D.
Great holster! No complaints. Minor adjustments needed to fit my individual needs. Running a FN 509 Tactical (full-size) with a Surefire x300 A and Holosun 507 c and 24 round mag in the side saddle. I thought it would print but does a great job at tucking the grip/handle in. Pretty comfortable; even when driving I don’t remove it. Mind you, I’m 6’3” 190.
Pew Pew.
Kevin F.
Fantastic IWB holster. Very comfortable and conceals well. The way it is made allows to to loosen up your belt a touch more then other holsters. Making it that much more comfortable. The one thing I didn't consider when I ordered it, was the color. I went with black. It did make it tough at first to see the opening when holstering. I added a thin white line to the top edge of the holster. It's perfect now for me. Highly recommend it.
Landon J.
A lot more comfortable than other holsters I've tried; a night and day difference!!
James R.
I Love the look and feel of this axis elite holster for my Glock 19 Gen 3 with inforce wild 1 weapon light. Way more comfortable than my T-Rex arms holsters. Glad I chose to try this out. This will be my EDC holster moving forward. Stoked!
Isaiah R.
The holster is amazing.
I use the ulti-clips and the only drawback i gained from them is that i tent to cut my knuckle when i go to draw. With the designs of the metal clamps, it’s hard to quick draw and also remember my finger has to go a certain way so i won’t cut it. (Essentially having no room for error.)
I have tried adjusting the ride height, but it didn’t really solve the issue.
Overall, solid holster. Even dropped it fully loaded (by accident) using the restroom and it held up well. Well worth the money and time.
Joshua T.
This was my first ever Tier 1 holster. I took a chance after a friend recommended it and I'm beyond happy. Very comfortable holster especially while also having an extra mag carrier attached.
tim c.
Amazing! Fits perfect. Sits comfortably.
Albert H.
Third tier 1 I have ordered for my carry. Won’t use anything else. Nothing compares to print, comfort , and options
Craig W.
I have bought and used many holsters, tier, 1 concealed is by far the most comfortable, with this set up, I can easily carry my prodigy, I wish I would’ve found these guys first, will be buying more
Alex K.
MP Shield 9... been using a somewhat generic holster off Amazon for a while (the kind that just holds your gun). It was fine, but after trying the T1 Axis Elite... wow, it's only like 0.2" thinner , but I don't know what it is about the Axis Elite that makes it VERY comfortable to wear even if you have a slightly belly. Sometimes, I forget it's there. The stock setting of the clips is a great compromise between comfort and quick accessibility with the master grip; I felt no need to move the clips up or down. If you have a bigger belly, the optional wedges might be a good idea.
Tyler B.
I ordered an axis elite, right outta the box it was a great fitting holster. Plenty of adjustments built in to make it fit to me and my 4.25” 1911. This was a huge upgrade from the xiphos v2 which was also a great holster but just wasn’t the right fit for my active lifestyle.
Eber P.
It feels so natural, hadn't had the opportunity to have a holster specifically for a P80 and I can feel the difference. I did have to purchase a TLR7A but it was worth it. Draws smoothly, locks in place with no effort, conceals like a dream with my Next belt but I was late on the T1C belt drop I'll be waiting for those to come back soon.
Ted G.
Thank you for making an amazing product.
I love my Axis Elite. Really couldn’t be happier with the fit,finish or comfort.
I work in residential construction, and I wear a full tool belt. With this setup I am able to cart daily and after a few day of adjusting to appendix carry I forget I even have it on.
I did just see that you now offer the wedge packs in wide, wish I would’ve seen that coming down the pipe because I believe that would just be a little bit better fit for me.
Casey B.
Great appendix holster. I’ve tried many holsters, but this is the best. I have one for my 43X MOS and one for my G19.
Jacob H.
Actually shocked by how comfortable it is and just how well it conceals. I love it.
Kevin S.
This is my third T1 holster, fit my Staccato really well, really comfortable.
Connor S.
Best holster I’ve used so far. Love the claw feature to push the holster in for better concealment. Will be purchasing more in the future.

Love the holster it's comfortable and hugs my body really well as a bigger guy it's still comfy enough to conceal
Bo W.
I have few other brands and tier1 is now my goto and others unfortunately collect dust right now. So if you still debating to get Tier1 or not, stop and just do it. Most comfortable one I have. Loving it.
Jose A.
I am 6'3" at 270 pounds so a bit thick on the organic armor. For those with a bit of a FUPA, order the wedges to help with the corners of the holster (gun and mag side) digging into your pelvic fluffy areas. I think that maybe next gen can do with a smoother contour of the gun/mag carrier on the corners to help on the issue. Only problem I see that can be easily fixed is that the adjustable "claw" segments can have an added slope to make it easier for the belt to slip over the claw and under the clip (I am getting some claw pieces 3D printed to fix this). Besides those two points the holster is excellent, adjustable and flexible, sturdy, light weight and... sexy :) Don't shy away from appendix carry because of a little bit of gut, try this one out.
JOHN M.
Very well made. Everything smooth, edges are great, absolutely no issues with the holster. I’m a belly kind of guy, I never thought I could appendix carry due to the holster I have tried. I’m not going to lie… it was very odd the first time I put the Axis Elite in my pants. Let’s be honest, fat boy with a Glock 19 and a spare mag in places that I wasn’t used to. Took maybe a couple days to get use to it but now it’s freakin awesome. Still losing weight so it’s only going to get better. SO GLAD I gave T1C a chance, I will definitely be ordering for other edc pistols.
Jesse S.
One of the best holsters I’ve ever owned and great customer service.
Nathan H.
It was worth the wait. Fits great and it conceals so much better than other holsters I have used. I will always use Tier 1 holsters in the future. I recommend these holsters.

A very well made holster. The design, construction and quality are quite impressive. It’s retentive, and comfortable. A really nice option for a Glock 43x with optic and light. Price was comparable and competitive to other similar brands. The lead time quoted was a few weeks and was executed faster than expected. Thanks!

Holster is fantastic. Color is extra sexy and vibrant. Communicated with T1C prior to ordering about using G19 w/ Comp and they put that in the order notes to accommodate. Longer holster length actually conceals better than standard G19 size. There was a little color flaking from inside holster that would coat my slide which T1C says is normal. I’ll keep an eye on it. Would like to get some DCC clips and a wedge on it soon but for now, this holster is still the best.
Jonathan G.
This thing conceals better than anything else I’ve tried! It’s super comfortable too. I got the normal clips because the discreet carry concepts were sold out and honestly the normal clips are just fine. A+ holster, for sure
Kristopher K.
All day comfortable concealed carry.
Christopher S.
Yup, their holsters are the best. This is my third Tier 1 holster. Stop buying other holsters and just pay the money for an Axis Elite because they are worth every cent. I use a Qore precision pad behind mine now but I’ve used the wedges too. They are both good

I previously had been using the dinosaur companies sidecar 2.0. It's comfortable, but once I got the axis elite for my G22 and got the ride height set to my liking... WOW! It's super comfortable I'm a bigger guy and have 0 issues carrying appendix with a spare mag. The design and adjustability of your claw is next level. It can be moved up and down plus thickness can be changed. The real big difference that made the most difference to me though is the use of the shock cord. It not only let's the holster form to your circumstance, but it also let's the mag move up and down slightly. As well as forward and back so it can be against your body tighter and not bind up when you start doing your hot yoga routine... or whatever else you do that involves bending over or twisting in awkward positions.

I bought another holster before this and thought I wouldn't be able to conceal appendix because of how much it printed. With the axis elite I don't even have to think about it. I'm a 5'6" male and weigh about 150. If you're on the fence about it do yourself a favor and buy one. I won't be getting holsters from anywhere else from now on.
Kyle C.
This holster is amazing! It’s already hard enough to find options that include light attachments, RDS cutouts, and the extra mag carrier attachment. This holster had everything I wanted and performs even better than anticipated. It is completely concealed even if I’m wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the cord attached mag carrier flexes perfectly with my movement. On top of all of the performance, it’s one great looking piece of gear. I couldn’t be happier.
matthew m.
Made the switch from G-Code and I wish I would have sooner! This thing is awesome!!
Jonathan R.
10/10. Fits perfect, flexes well, accommodates everything I wanted on it, and I haven’t had to futs around with it at all.
Steven K.
I love this holster. The one thing I wish was an option was a neoprene backing to make it a little more comfortable. I would pay the money for an option for a form fitting optional backer that was stick on, similar to the way the wedges are if it was available in a heartbeat.
Peter C.
Excellent product. Not a single complaint regarding quality and workmanship. It is definitely everything I needed it to be. Which is not to be confused with the weight of a full size pistol and more than a box of ammo being tightly held against your appendix. That “is what it is”. The holster however is absolutely the best way to carry in the front.
Antrelle B.
First T1C holster and I’m not sure why I waited so many years.
Chris T.
Despite this holster having a larger profile, it is extremely comfortable even while seated in my little Honda Fit. Extremely happy with my purchase. Worth the wait!
Timothy F.
Comfortable and discreet. Don't notice it most of the time. Very good construction and easy retention adjustment.
Kameron P.
Amazing fit. No printing what so ever on Sig XMacro with TLR-7A. Have recommended to everyone who has bought one from me.
Jon N.
This is my second holster that I’ve ordered from you all. I also have a TRex Arms holster. As much as I like that, I feel that yours is more comfortable to wear especially for appendix carry. I will buy holsters from Tier 1 so long as you make
Them for the pieces that I purchase.
Christopher J.
Great holster. Very comfortable sitting or standing
Anthony B.
I love this holster for my cr920. So far its the best concealment and most comfortable holster I have used while maintaining safety as opposed to a sticky holster or something soft. I have one for my mr920 elite as well which also conceals nicely for a larger load. I have to say - if you're looking for a highly functional holster in practicality and comfort, look no further. Shadow Systems Cr920p comes out soon, hope to see one available for it!
Zachary B.
This is my second tier 1 holster. They never cease to amaze me when it comes to full size carry. No printing and comfort is not usually used in the same sentence when it comes to a holster. A+
Steve G.
Highly functional, and comfortable. Any future holster will be a Tier 1! Thanks
Patrick M.
This is my second Tier 1 Holster, Fits well and very comfortable once you get it adjusted. I do recommend getting the wedge kit.
Joseph A.
Wanted to originally cancel my order….. for the reason of being nervous to appendix carry a Glock 17 with a x300 ultra on it. They told me I couldn’t cancel. Turns out it was for the best. I love this holster it’s much more comfortable than I expected an appendix holster to be. If you’re new to conceal carry and want to conceal carry I’d go with Tier 1. I never thought I would be able to appendix carry but this holster proved to me it’s very possible. Thanks to tier 1 concealed you guys are great keep up the good work and keep training
Eduardo M.
This holster is great. I paired it with the Kore belt and I love it.
I love the fact that I can bend down to tie my shoes without a stabbing pain.
Now I can appendix carry my Glock with a flashlight thanks Tier 1
Lyle V.
Great quality it’s secure and holds everything very well!
Ryan S.
Amazing fit and build for my Staccato P. Not easy finding a left handed holster for this setup but Tier One made it super simple. I’ll definitely be a returning customer
Fred
BELIEVE THE HYPE! Let me start by saying I am not one to leave reviews, but felt so strongly about this that I had to. I am a chubbier guy (5’10 245lbs size 38 waist and XL-XXL shirt…ya ya ya I know lose some weight) that would use an alien gear cloak for my mr920/g19 which wasn’t terribly uncomfortable but not ideal carrying on my side as it wasn’t as concealable. I would appendix carry my XDS (3.3in barrel) but appendix carry just wasn’t comfortable for me and even though the xds is small I still printed and the gun would dig into my skin. I figured I just wouldn’t be able to appendix carry until I lost weight. After researching (YouTube reviews, articles, etc), I came across Tier1 and I’ll admit I was skeptical given my past history with appendix carrying. I almost didn’t pull the trigger due to the wait period and price (not that it’s expensive for a holster but I found it expensive to gamble on since I did not have high expectations for appendix carrying) BUT figured I’ve been wanting to appendix carry comfortably for the longest so I said fine. Let me tell you that this holster has changed my carry conceal experience. Not only am I able to appendix my mr920/g19 BUT I opted for the TLR-1 light option which makes it slightly bulkier and now I able to carry an extra mag and WOW. I tried it on with some jeans and just a T-shirt and I was shocked that I wasn’t printing and it was surprisingly comfortable. Also note, I have a carry conceal belt for the added thickness and support and that didn’t help much with my last appendix holster, but paired with this it made a world of difference. Not to mention the color looks absolutely amazing. I almost went with the standard black as they were a quick ship option, but I am glad I waited the extra few weeks to get the color option I wanted!! I will absolutely be a repeat customer and will highly recommend!
Gary V.
Bought this with concealment in mind using a Sig Sauer P365
X-Macro. Let me tell y'all. X-Macro 17rds, full grip, skinny, small footprint, tlr7a light, holosun red dot combined with T1 Axis Elite, absolute concealment! I didn't think carrying an x-macro would make a difference but it did. Compared to carrying my Sw Mp 2.0 4.25 in the T1 Xiphos, X macro in the axis elite is soo much more concealable (duh) due to it being skinny and smaller overall. Love this holster! My favorite so far! Would definitely recommend Tier 1 Concealed as a go to for the great concealment! 10/10
Matthew J.
Great holster! Comfortable, while giving you the ability to get a consistent draw.
Jeremy C.
Fits perfect, awesome holster!
Corey T.
I’ve waisted so much money on different brands of holsters and after wearing this one I’m never going back. It’s by far the most comfortable for edc!
Timothy M.
I've been very curious about the Tier 1 Axis Elite for awhile. I finally..."pulled the trigger " and got one and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. It's truly the most comfortable IWB holster I own.
Kyle S.
This is a surprisingly comfortable wear. I'm not used to appendix carry, so I'm m still getting used to it, but it is far better than I expected. The lead time advertised was overestimated, so it arrived sooner than expected.
Great experience with the company and the product. Looking forward to buying more in the future.
Michael M.
Very comfortable, durable, adjustable, and secure. Couldn’t ask for a better holster!
Thomas C.
Tier1 is the best of the best!!! And yes, don’t spend your money on other cheaper holsters, trust me go straight for Tier1. They are 100% worth the value. Most comfortable and concealable holster I’ve ever had. You won’t run into the problems you will have with the cheaper ones. Go for TIER1.
Stephen C.
Hands down the most comfortable holster I've ever worn!
Jerrod H.
I have a Werkz holster with side car for my P365x. I couldn't believe the night and day concealability between the Werkz holster for that gun and the Axis elite with side car for my CZ P10C with TLR1. I can hide the P10C so much better which is almost twice the size! Tier1 holsters are just hands down designed better for IWB carry than any other holster on the market!
Chris L.
New to appendix carrying and I'm getting use to this holster. I'm not a fit person and I have a bit of a belly so it tends to push the firearm out and pointing more into me. The wedge kit does help with that a bit. Just got to get use to pulling pants up, pants down, adjusting belt, or even pushing the holster out to get comfortable when sitting. I'm still getting over the fact the firearm is pointing in/at me and our bodies aren't perfect angles. Even standing or sitting, just got to get over the fact a firearm is angle into/at me. I know it's holstered and the firearm doesn't go off on it's own so it's "safe" but I have faith in the equipment I use and this holster as well. guards the trigger and there isn't any awkward edges to catch the trigger. Other thing I would like to mention if just rocking a T-Shirt, when holstering when sitting in a chair or car seat. I have to be aware of pinching my belly skin. I just tuck my fingers behind the holster as a guide when holstering. Almost similar to when putting a sword back in the sheath. Just using my hand as a guide.
Only real problem I have is when using a 1 3/4" belt(Kore). I have to give it some tension before clipping on the holster. Tends to have some slack, so I would have to pull on the belt to get it to be flush with my body. Don't have that issue with 1 1/2" belt since there is room for play.
Steve S.
I just went up on a TLR7 Sub after discovering that Tier 1 was making this holster in a compatible format. It's slightly more bulky but not much and the addition of a weapon light on my EDC outweighs the minor additional size. Love this holster and my standard one.
Armando D.
Excellent! I’ve heard great things about this holster and I gotta say it lives up to the hype!
Way above anything else in the market in terms of comfort and practicality.
Robert I.
Finally got a carry gun I’m planning to have for a long time and wanted to get the best appendix holster for it I could. I’d heard good things from forums and reviews, I watched a lot of the Tier 1 videos on YouTube. I agonized over the details because it was a big purchase and finally decided to pull the trigger. I was coming from a 4 brothers style claw holster with a separate mag carrier but wanted something nicer that I could use my TLR-7A with. The axis elite holster fits great. It was a little tight at first and put some rub marks on the slide, but that stopped after a couple weeks. The wedges were a little stiffer than I expected, having previously made my own from a softer foam, so I had to order some mediums instead of the large. As they say, the light bearing holsters don’t click, but my gun feels secure. I love having the ability to adjust both the clips and the claw in height. It makes finding that balance of concealment and ease of purchase when drawing and I’m enjoying not smashing my knuckles on my belt or claw any more. I’d definitely recommend and would purchase again. Thanks Tier 1 for the great product and the great training videos. I’ve been using your printed targets to run drills with lately and I appreciate the effort you guys make to make us better.
Scott R.
Totally digging it…carrying everywhere I can an no one has a clue
Chad B.
excellent holster! first experience with tier1 products. I've been familiar with the hype but this exceeded my expectations. awesome work!
Michael T.
I’m a larger guy, 270lbs with a gut. Able to wear this holster with their wedges and it’s the most comfortable holster I own.
Manuel D.
It’s very confortable. I love it
Gustavo D.
Had never been able to carry appendix till I tried tier1, awesome holsters
Zach B.
Absolutely worth every penny. I took a 5 hour trip and didn’t have to take it off in the car. Every other holster I’ve used I have to take off in longer car rides. The wedges are worth ordering as well if you’re on the fence about them.
Adrian R.
Great quality holster fits great and conceals amazing.
Darrian L.
All around great service and product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will definitely buy another soon!
James O.
Loving the new holster! Got rid of all the other ones that just weren’t too comfortable or concealing very well. Need to try the DCC clips and see if that takes it to another level.
Stephen G.
Outstanding comfort and concealment! Just ordered Xiphos Elite! Outstanding craftsmanship!
David T.
Had to replace the grommet for the mag carrier with a slightly thicker one for my personal preference in retention, but an amazing holster nonetheless. The first one where I haven’t had to adjust the height of the belt clips out of the box unlike 5 or 6 holsters from other brands.
Austin N.
Great holster. It has it all, great retention, concealment and comfort.
Kevin D.
I have tried numerous holsters for concealment over my 12 years in law enforcement. This is by far my favorite and most comfortable.
Brandon W.
The comfort level of this holster is insane!!
Jake E.
I'm a slim guy, and this holster with the wedge kit allows me to carry a G19 and a 21 round extra magazine without printing. It's very comfy too, all considered.
Frank A.
Well made, flexible and comfortable holster. Very impressed with how it hid my P320 Carry and spare mag.
Trevor L.
Great holster! Second one I’ve gotten and can’t wait to get another.
Mason D.
Best IWB holster I’ve ever owned. Extremely comfortable. Great retention. Love it.
Logan I.
First and foremost this is a great holster! Everything from comfort to quality and ease of use , for majority of the time I carry with this holster it often feels as if nothing is there , there is minimal to no printing and the Axis Elite bends perfectly to your body. Some days when you are bloated could kind of be in the way or a little discomfort atleast for me. Overall loving the holster so far and if in the future Tier1 offers holsters for a different weapon I purchase I will definitely consider Tier1 for holster needs!
Ryan S.
I work in law enforcement and carry off-duty everyday. I have used several holsters before being referred to this one. If you want the most quality ccw holster, this is it. Most comfortable, most concealable, most capable. Buy once, cry once. Highly recommend.
Christopher B.
I have always been a 4-5 o' clock type of carrier. I tried appendix around 10 years back and was not a fan at all with the holsters available at the time. I recently decided to give appendix another try and was recommended this holster by a friend.
I have to say this is probably the most comfortable way to carry IWB. Even better it is so low profile I can get away with just wearing a normal t-shirt and still not print.
Fantastic product. Would highly recommend.
Ron A.
My second Tier One. Extremely well made, great quality. Fit, form and function 100%. My go to holster.
Dan S.
Great Holster! I previously carried a CrossBreed leather and kydex holster and my problem with it was that it was blocky and uncomfortable to carry appendix plus its retention wasn't great. I use an o-light pl-mini2 and a red dot on my carry gun and I wish I would have found Tier 1 sooner. I have tried a number of different holsters, and it is by far the best! It disappears on my body, and I carry a full sized Glock 17... with virtually 0 printing. It is comfortable to sit down with carrying appendix, and driving I almost forget it is there. Truly couldn't be happier with it! The only bummer is that it takes a while to get to you. It took about 3 weeks, which in this instant gratification world seems like forever. It is, however, worth the wait!
Jerry J.
When I need a holster I get a Tier 1. Play around and find the wedge sizes that best fit your EDC lifestyle. I use a small and wear the Axis Elite all day without the kydex bothering. If you need more padding you can always add more wedges and mix match sizes to your best fit. Always recommend Tier 1 to anyone that needs a holster. Great quality, excellent customer service. Do yourself a favor and get one.
Joel A.
Great product and comfortable. Edges are not sharp like other Kydex holsters which makes them more comfortable to wear and draw from without cutting yourself.
Aaron D.
Great holster! No complaints. Minor adjustments needed to fit my individual needs. Running a FN 509 Tactical (full-size) with a Surefire x300 A and Holosun 507 c and 24 round mag in the side saddle. I thought it would print but does a great job at tucking the grip/handle in. Pretty comfortable; even when driving I don’t remove it. Mind you, I’m 6’3” 190.
Pew Pew.
Kevin F.
Fantastic IWB holster. Very comfortable and conceals well. The way it is made allows to to loosen up your belt a touch more then other holsters. Making it that much more comfortable. The one thing I didn't consider when I ordered it, was the color. I went with black. It did make it tough at first to see the opening when holstering. I added a thin white line to the top edge of the holster. It's perfect now for me. Highly recommend it.
Landon J.
A lot more comfortable than other holsters I've tried; a night and day difference!!
James R.
I Love the look and feel of this axis elite holster for my Glock 19 Gen 3 with inforce wild 1 weapon light. Way more comfortable than my T-Rex arms holsters. Glad I chose to try this out. This will be my EDC holster moving forward. Stoked!
Isaiah R.
The holster is amazing.
I use the ulti-clips and the only drawback i gained from them is that i tent to cut my knuckle when i go to draw. With the designs of the metal clamps, it’s hard to quick draw and also remember my finger has to go a certain way so i won’t cut it. (Essentially having no room for error.)
I have tried adjusting the ride height, but it didn’t really solve the issue.
Overall, solid holster. Even dropped it fully loaded (by accident) using the restroom and it held up well. Well worth the money and time.
Joshua T.
This was my first ever Tier 1 holster. I took a chance after a friend recommended it and I'm beyond happy. Very comfortable holster especially while also having an extra mag carrier attached.
tim c.
Amazing! Fits perfect. Sits comfortably.
Albert H.
Third tier 1 I have ordered for my carry. Won’t use anything else. Nothing compares to print, comfort , and options
Craig W.
I have bought and used many holsters, tier, 1 concealed is by far the most comfortable, with this set up, I can easily carry my prodigy, I wish I would’ve found these guys first, will be buying more
Alex K.
MP Shield 9... been using a somewhat generic holster off Amazon for a while (the kind that just holds your gun). It was fine, but after trying the T1 Axis Elite... wow, it's only like 0.2" thinner , but I don't know what it is about the Axis Elite that makes it VERY comfortable to wear even if you have a slightly belly. Sometimes, I forget it's there. The stock setting of the clips is a great compromise between comfort and quick accessibility with the master grip; I felt no need to move the clips up or down. If you have a bigger belly, the optional wedges might be a good idea.
Tyler B.
I ordered an axis elite, right outta the box it was a great fitting holster. Plenty of adjustments built in to make it fit to me and my 4.25” 1911. This was a huge upgrade from the xiphos v2 which was also a great holster but just wasn’t the right fit for my active lifestyle.
Eber P.
It feels so natural, hadn't had the opportunity to have a holster specifically for a P80 and I can feel the difference. I did have to purchase a TLR7A but it was worth it. Draws smoothly, locks in place with no effort, conceals like a dream with my Next belt but I was late on the T1C belt drop I'll be waiting for those to come back soon.
Ted G.
Thank you for making an amazing product.
I love my Axis Elite. Really couldn’t be happier with the fit,finish or comfort.
I work in residential construction, and I wear a full tool belt. With this setup I am able to cart daily and after a few day of adjusting to appendix carry I forget I even have it on.
I did just see that you now offer the wedge packs in wide, wish I would’ve seen that coming down the pipe because I believe that would just be a little bit better fit for me.
Casey B.
Great appendix holster. I’ve tried many holsters, but this is the best. I have one for my 43X MOS and one for my G19.
Jacob H.
Actually shocked by how comfortable it is and just how well it conceals. I love it.
Kevin S.
This is my third T1 holster, fit my Staccato really well, really comfortable.
Connor S.
Best holster I’ve used so far. Love the claw feature to push the holster in for better concealment. Will be purchasing more in the future.
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.
