I have two of these holsters and they work great, comfortable and easy to put on. The holster stays put and does not pinch. great holster.
Mike P.
Holster feels great. It conceals well and the fitment on my pistol and magazine are perfectly dialed in. The OD green color is sharp and the clips (even though they are plastic) are holding up well.
Andrew P.
Grabbed an axis elite for my G19 gen 5, it fits amazing. Even though I didn’t order it with running a comp in mind, I ended up grabbing a radian afterburner + ramjet combo, and since it’s open at the bottom, it’ll still work! If you’re looking for quality holsters, T1C is the way to go.
Kevin B.
I own two of the axis elite, both for a Sig 365 in the XL and XMacro. I love them both. Being a pretty thin guy, these really help keep printing to a minimum while being quite comfortable. If I had one wish for improvement, it would be an option for a tighter binding cord. I've noticed with the larger macro, the extra weight makes the cord feel a little flimsy. That being said, I still carry it every day and enjoy doing so.
Hee C.
This is probably the most comfortable holster I've owned. Zero print even with not-so-baggy shirt. Keepin it simple. Love it.
Dominic F.
Very comfortable and concealed, my only and last holster!! You pay for what you receive I LOVE it
Darryl H.
I own several holsters from Tier 1. I can’t complain one bit about the quality and fit. They are very comfortable and durable. Great job! You have a customer for life.
blake b.
First ever holster purchase and i couldn't be more impressed. Amazing quality and very comfortable. The holsters live up to the reviews!
gregory k.
A little pricey, but you get what you pay for!
Osvaldo O.
I’m obsessed with Tier 1 holsters. Waiting the time to receive it is worth knowing it’s handmade by someone who cares. Thank you!
Braden K.
Incredible. I carry a pretty big gun as a bigger dude, and it was never comfortable really to walk around with it long term. I genuinely dont feel it on me after a bit with the tier 1. New default holster for every gun.
Zachary H.
The gold standard.

Top of the food chain in holsters
Andrew Z.
Had an Axis slim for many years. Picked up an Axis Elite for new firearm and it is a great improvement upon what was already my favorite holster. New firearm is larger and conceals better as well as being more comfortable.
Johnny D.
T1C is my go to. High quality, and dependable. Worth the money!
Sammy T.
I have been wearing this rig and I love it.
Love it some much bought another ri Would recommend Tier 1
Gunner Y.
The holster is fantastic. Super comfortable. Couldn’t have been better. Thank you
Jacob H.
Feels comfortable, first IWB holster for my Echelon. Extended magazine does print a little bit, I have another 17 round magazine coming in that I will replace the extended magazine with. I have an athletic build so it does conceal pretty well especially if I wear a loose T-shirt. Definitely recommend this holster!
Jeffrey M.
Great holster, and impeccable customer service. I will definitely be using tier 1 for all of my iwb holsters moving forward.
Benjamin G.
Form fitted to my pistol, making it very secure while still easily accessible. Love the adjustable clips to fit my preference and comfort.
Noah K.
Best holster I’ve ever used. Conceals my staccato Xc with an aimpoint acro and x300 turbo perfectly.
Mitchell W.
Everything I expected and more! Fantastic product I highly recommend!!
Aaron O.
A good holster makes all the difference when carrying a full size handgun and this one is the best of the best! I have a P320 Carry with a Streamlight TLR-1 and it fits perfectly. I’m able to comfortably carry the firearm with two 21 rd mags.
Jose M.
Buy this holster. It’s worth the wait! I have several Axis Elite holsters for different firearms I own and none have disappointed me yet. For my Zev I opted to get the mag extension and with my plus five it aligns perfectly well. Tier1 keep up the great work.
Matthew
What more do I need to say, this is the pinnacle of AIWB holsters
ryan p.
I can’t say enough great things about this holster. It’s super comfortable, adjustable and the retention is awesome. Nice crisp click to ensure that your gun is properly secured. Highly recommend!
hunter f.
Super high quality. Enables comfortable carrying all day.
Jose V.
Amazing
Jeremy S.
I've purchased multiple Axis Elites from T1C over the past few years. I've carried my Shadow Systems MR920 for about 2 years now. I literally have this thing on me anytime I put on my pants.
Well I noticed some stress cracks/missing kydex on my holster when I went to replace the shock cord. I notified T1C about it and they sent out a new holster right away. I was blown away. They have gained a customer for life and I've already recommended them to multiple friends and family.
Look no further than an Axis Elite. You won't be disappointed. And be patient with the wait times. Quality work takes time and these guys are awesome.
John D.
Very nice holster! I tried to stuff a taco from Taco Bell in there to take it with me and it fit!
JERRY I.
Just received the holster and I have to say "IT ROCKS"! The construction is great and its very well thought out. its very well assembled and I was very pleasantly surprised at how NOT uncomfortable it is if that makes sense. Keep up the great work!
Donald C.
very comfortable,and well made
Kathy M.
The Axis Elite is the best, and only holster I will use.
I fully trust the build quality, fit, and finish. The holster is comfortable, and conceals very well.
Thanks Tier1!!!
JD.
Antonio D.
Love the Product holster fits great with my pistol
Meir M.
Perfect !
Matt
I wish I would have bought this holster two years ago! I carry a S&W M&P 2.0 compact and it disappears. The Axis Elite holster is the most comfortable holster I’ve used yet.. ( and I’ve gone through a handful) I was hesitant to buy initially because of the price, but I can now say it’s worth every penny. I had been struggling to find a good fit at the appendix position, but Tier 1 knocked it out of the park. I would recommend for anyone who carries appendix!
David S.
Until recently I was not able to carry appendix style. After going from 320 lbs to 240 lbs I decided to give it a try. This is the most comfortable holster I've used other than making my own. I use the large wide wedge which helps to move the grip closer to my body. I highly recommend this holster to anyone looking for an aiwb holster.
Giovanni G.
This is probably my 5th holster and I have tried others. By far these are the best quality and secure holsters I have ever used. #Daily Carry
Chris O.
Excellent products and excellent customer service!!
Alexander S.
This holster works perfectly with my Arrowhead Tactical Apparel shorts and joggers. I use it to carry an X Five Legion plus the spare magazine, and it holds up great.
zachary c.
Tier1 always provides the best holsters and customer service. I'll never buy anything else. Thanks team
Ian S.
Highly recommend. Carry with a P365 with extended mag at 5’11” , 165lbs and it’s the best fit and concealment I’ve ever seen. The side car for the extra magazine fits really well since it’s decoupled from the primary holster and can move independently. Worth the money if you want concealment and comfort.
Darryl T.
Perfect fit for my Shadow Systems CR920. Best axis holster I've found.
Chris J.
Love T1. Always quick and easy and you can’t beat the comfort and durability.
Chad H.
G43X MOS- fits perfect. Not a single flaw I can find. Slide fits snug and smooth. Noticed a small upgrade from past T1 holsters that the magazine holder has a small bump that secures the mag catch. Really like this. I think Tier1 definitely has the best KYDEX sidecar holster in the business but understand it’s not for everyone. At the end of the day it’s just a Kydex holster and like many others but I think Tier1 add small features and details that help you wear it all day every day with comfort. It’s the small details without an extremely higher price tag that raises them above the competition.
Paul S.
Most comfortable holster ever! I use it for all my carry guns and the wedges makes carring so easy! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10.
Michael R.
I have used at least 5 different holsters from a variety of companies. All were high quality and made to an elevated standard. However, the comfortability and ergonomic controls of this holster defeats them all. I have referred multiple people to the company and now I hope that by reading this review you’ll be compelled to try it for yourself. You won’t be sorry.
Neickers O.
For me is the best Holster period. Comfortable, helps me conceal my weapon with ease and that’s amazing. This is one of many I’ll own from T1C
Arlis H.
Well designed and very comfortable!!
Kyle D.
I've been through plenty of IWB holsters and there's nothing that compares with the Axis Elite. Functionality and ergonomics play a huge role in me purchasing holsters, and this Tier 1 holster checks all the boxes. You have a new lifetime customer.
Tyler F.
Best holsters on the market today in my opinion. They sit close to the body and are the most comfortable holster to travel with. Just spent 8 hrs on the road and it was almost like it wasn’t even there it was that comfortable. Get a ratching belt with it any you won’t be disappointed.
George C.
I like the concealment the holster provides and when I mistakenly ordered a holster for the wrong gun model customer service was outstanding with helping me correct the problem and very quickly getting me the correct one even though it was my fault,Great company
David M.
appendix position along with good kydex is the fastest draw...no doubt. i should have ordered the mag holder for maximun rounds. next time. now using shot timer to increase target hits. hard to get use to position ...but...the trigger guard does its job!!!!
Stanley R.
"A $200 holster?!" Absolutely! I'm soooo very pleased with this T1C Axis Elite made for my Hellcat RDP w/ a TLR-7sub... perfect.
Exactly what I wanted... I was also very impressed with T1C's customer service pre-sale. I emailed with a bunch of questions (prob too many.. ha) and they answered each query within minutes. Wow.
I've used other "dinosaur-branded" Sidecar-style holsters a lot in the past for AIWB, and am super glad I decided to try T1C's! Totally worth it! I'll be getting more soon...
Many thanks to the T1C Team! Well done...

The reason I gave it 3 stars was a few reasons:
1- the color, I had gotten was the Kryptek Neptune color, I was slightly disappointed because I thought it would be more vibrant, it looks cool , but it would have been nice if the color popped more especially for an extra $35
2- There is no satisfying click when you place the weapon into the holster, it just slides all the way down and that’s it.
3- I had to really tighten the screws to make sure my sig didn’t fall off when I tested it. Which I guess isn’t such a bad thing.
Overall I still like it, I continue to use it every day and it’s very comfortable. I’m a bigger guy, 6’1 225 with a little bit of a beer gut and it’s still very comfortable. I probably wouldn’t purchase another one though it being 200 dollars.
howard m.
Great fit very comfortable love the look highly recommended and this is my second one
Blake H.
A good iwb holster makes a big difference when carrying day to day. From comfort, to how well it is able to conceal your weapon. This holster checks all the boxes in my opinion. If you appendix carry, this holster is a must have!
Edward H.
Good solid work all around
Ethan W.
This holster is awesome! I started carrying a bigger gun (Springfield echelon) and got this holster for it. Once I added a wedge in the flat spot it has been super comfy to carry. I thought I would hate the spare mag carrier but so far I have loved it. I can always take the spare mag carrier off if I want but so far I haven't wanted to. My only disappointed is that I ordered the FDE that I though would be a light brown (from what the website shows) but it turned out to be quite dark, almost a green color not the color that was shown on the website. But functionally it is a fantastic design and super comfortable.
Jimmy I.
My latest Axis Elite is my 5th Tier 1 holster. All axis Elite and one OWB retention holster that works with safari land drop leg attachments. I forget the name of that one. They’re All great products
Jesse J.
All I have to say is WHAT AN AMAZING HOLSTER. I was hoping it would be everything I thought it would be after reading so many reviews on Tier 1 and this holster in general. I could not be happier with this design and even the extras that Tier 1 did to the holster to make it truly fit like a glove for my xmacro and the additions I have on it. If you are second guessing yourself due to the amount of money you will spend, stop second guessing and hit that place order button. I will be purchasing more items from Tier 1 in the future. Thank you Tier 1.
Cecil W.
I’m 5’ 10” 145lbs so concealing a full sized handgun has always been a struggle. But I purchased the axis elite now I carry a Glock 19x with a comp and it conceals amazingly. It’s also the most comfortable holster I own if you are needing a holster these are the best hands down!
Ronald J. O.
Holster works as it should, actually better! Comfortable with Hunter C.’s EDC belt. The perfect combo!!! Much more comfortable than my previous EDC system. AND no leg leash needs as well! Wish I would hand found this combo 2 years ago. Great stuff right here!
Wade P.
The Axis Elite is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. I have one for my P365 and another for my G19. They both conceal well and are very comfortable for all day wear. No need to look any further. This is the holster for me.
Daniel F.
I researched for a while on which appendix carry holster I wanted. I looked at different brands and then recalled a YouTube channel I watched about a year ago. It just so happend to be Tier1. I love this holster system, works well with the claw and wedges. Excellent product along with the Tier1 belt. Definitely a brand I'm going to stick with.
Alex M.
My holster showed up. I don't understand how you do it but this is the most amazing thing I've ever owned. Axis Elite and I've not taken it off in two days. Everything I need to do in a day this doesn't get in the way. Driving, work, shopping anything. You guys are amazing and I will now be ordering one for every gun I own..!
Les B.
Great holsters, but my latest holster is not quite as comfortable as the last few.
Michael H.
This holster is like the cloak of invisibility for pistols plus its so comfortable you may almost forget your wearing it. The level of adjustability this holster provides is bar-none the best on the market. After two weeks of use I went out and bought a second one!
Jason R.
First holster that actually works like I would expect. Good retention, comfortable, and just all around perfect. Love them!
Jae H.
As a not so skinny man this is the most comfortable and concealable IWB holster I’ve ever owned. It is highly adjustable and with the medium sized wedge I don’t print and conceal perfectly. Fits the Hellcat Pro like a glove. I will be buying these for all of my carry firearms. 10/10
James H.
Absolutely love the holster. The mag pouch gets in the way when driving when I carry appendix so take it off and swap a clip and it's perfect most days, only issue I'd like to see in future design may be wider foam wedges. The ones on it are good for the most part but are just narrow enough to get into the muscle and push on nerves a bit haha. Overall very happy and wear/train w it every day. Going to use it for upcoming IDPA matches in the near future
Jacob B.
Everything I was hoping for and more! 10/10
Comfort, concealment, and quality.
Sebastian H.
Great product, super high quality, lot of options to customize it as well. I had to adjust mine to fit the way I wanted, I would recommend get wedges just to have the option. Overall super happy, I’ll be buying another one within the week
Anthony C.
Execellent equipment
Dalton M.
Fitment is really nice, conceals really well, and I love the Black Carbon with the red!
John P.
Great holster!!!!

Great holster very comfortable and good build very good quality
Moses D.
Great technology and even better customer care.
Jorge V.
Amazing holster..very comfortable and easy to conceal as promoted..love it’s skeleton structure..I recommend it..nothing against trex arms but T1…much better because of the cords ability to make it flexible to different body types
Darius K.
Great product. Very comfortable. This is the best holster system I’ve invested in this far.
Jason B.
Love this holster

This is my 3rd Tier 1 holster and not my last, most comfortable in the game.

Very Nice and confortable !!!
Jeffery G.
Everything I expected! Great product!
Todd C.
Super comfortable, worth the money
Sam L.
The good: The modularity of the stackable wing is great. The magazine carrier can also fit a SnakeStaff ETQ if you so choose which is convenient. The shock cord gives just enough flex to bend to your body and increase concealment a bit combined with the ridge on the magazine carrier. Drawing from the Axis Elite is also FAST. I ran a USPSA match with it and did quite well. However, I want to say that it's fast because the gun keels away from the body and doesn't conceal all that well, which I'll get to.
The bad: The gun has a few millimeters of play and slop left and right inside the holster. Tightening it does nothing but increase passive retention while the slop is still there. Concealment (on my 6 ft 220lb frame, at least) is average. Both my G34 and G19 want to keel outward. A wedge fixed it to a degree.
Overall: They're popular for a reason. I don't think someone is making the wrong choice buying an Axis Elite. It's just not for me. I expected more out of a $135 holster.
Bradley M.
Comfortable, forms to my body well and is light but holds everything well. 10/10 reccomend. Carry full size everyday with no problems and train with these holsters from conceal all the time
Ricardo M.
Love this holster! I can’t express it enough. I tried some patriotic “competitors” products and after my long wait, all I received was disappointment (which I promptly returned). With T1C, I’m extremely satisfied, they are not even in the same league as all the other holster companies. I can confidently say I will never buy from another company as long as they keep their superb quality, design and amazing customer experience. Couldn’t be happier with my Axis Elite and I can’t wait to buy more guns so I can buy more of their holsters!
Luckner L.
Top notch‼️
Jim K.
still awaiting my CCW approval but i wore it around the house and its honestly comfortable cant wait to use it for my edc!
Drew G.
Tier1 is always a dependable product. Comfortable and concealing fit every time.
Kason B.
I really love it, just a couple things are that I wish the back part of the holster that goes against the body was missing some of the sharper edges (not a big deal though). The other thing is that even with the clips adjusted, the holster angles the gun a little to close to the jewls which is a little spooky.
Brent S.
First T1c holster, best and most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Can easily carry my full size g17 with SL TLR 1 HL, and extended spare mag, all day every day with little to no discomfort. Will never buy another brand and will be buying more in the near future!
Bret P.
The very best I’ve ever worn. From morning until bed I wear the holster everywhere. Love it, love it. Love it. The craftsmanship is superior to all others I have worn. Thank you.
Luis A.
Great quality, and good customer service. Turn around time was pretty quick aswell!
Jeremy K.
Been using this for over a year and I love it. The wedge and the wing make the grip and extra mag disappear. Very comfortable when paired with a Kore belt that I can discreetly loosen when I sit down.
Aaron F.
Never buy................any other holster out there. I have to say I am very pleased. I wasn't going to buy it at first, just because of the price. I could justify spending that much on a holster but I'm glad I did. Hands down the best holster out on the market right now. It is very comfortable, sleek looking and well made. If your skeptical, don't be. It's worth every penny. I'm a customer for life.
Heath P.
Well worth the money
Scott B.
The axis elite has made carrying so much more comfortable. The stability it provides makes both a smaller and larger carry much easier.

Overall I still like it, I continue to use it every day and it’s very comfortable. I’m a bigger guy, 6’1 225 with a little bit of a beer gut and it’s still very comfortable. I probably wouldn’t purchase another one though it being 200 dollars.

A good iwb holster makes a big difference when carrying day to day. From comfort, to how well it is able to conceal your weapon. This holster checks all the boxes in my opinion. If you appendix carry, this holster is a must have!

Good solid work all around

This holster is awesome! I started carrying a bigger gun (Springfield echelon) and got this holster for it. Once I added a wedge in the flat spot it has been super comfy to carry. I thought I would hate the spare mag carrier but so far I have loved it. I can always take the spare mag carrier off if I want but so far I haven't wanted to. My only disappointed is that I ordered the FDE that I though would be a light brown (from what the website shows) but it turned out to be quite dark, almost a green color not the color that was shown on the website. But functionally it is a fantastic design and super comfortable.

My latest Axis Elite is my 5th Tier 1 holster. All axis Elite and one OWB retention holster that works with safari land drop leg attachments. I forget the name of that one. They’re All great products

All I have to say is WHAT AN AMAZING HOLSTER. I was hoping it would be everything I thought it would be after reading so many reviews on Tier 1 and this holster in general. I could not be happier with this design and even the extras that Tier 1 did to the holster to make it truly fit like a glove for my xmacro and the additions I have on it. If you are second guessing yourself due to the amount of money you will spend, stop second guessing and hit that place order button. I will be purchasing more items from Tier 1 in the future. Thank you Tier 1.

I’m 5’ 10” 145lbs so concealing a full sized handgun has always been a struggle. But I purchased the axis elite now I carry a Glock 19x with a comp and it conceals amazingly. It’s also the most comfortable holster I own if you are needing a holster these are the best hands down!

Holster works as it should, actually better! Comfortable with Hunter C.’s EDC belt. The perfect combo!!! Much more comfortable than my previous EDC system. AND no leg leash needs as well! Wish I would hand found this combo 2 years ago. Great stuff right here!

The Axis Elite is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. I have one for my P365 and another for my G19. They both conceal well and are very comfortable for all day wear. No need to look any further. This is the holster for me.

I researched for a while on which appendix carry holster I wanted. I looked at different brands and then recalled a YouTube channel I watched about a year ago. It just so happend to be Tier1. I love this holster system, works well with the claw and wedges. Excellent product along with the Tier1 belt. Definitely a brand I'm going to stick with.

My holster showed up. I don't understand how you do it but this is the most amazing thing I've ever owned. Axis Elite and I've not taken it off in two days. Everything I need to do in a day this doesn't get in the way. Driving, work, shopping anything. You guys are amazing and I will now be ordering one for every gun I own..!
Les B.
Great holsters, but my latest holster is not quite as comfortable as the last few.
Michael H.
This holster is like the cloak of invisibility for pistols plus its so comfortable you may almost forget your wearing it. The level of adjustability this holster provides is bar-none the best on the market. After two weeks of use I went out and bought a second one!
Jason R.
First holster that actually works like I would expect. Good retention, comfortable, and just all around perfect. Love them!
Jae H.
As a not so skinny man this is the most comfortable and concealable IWB holster I’ve ever owned. It is highly adjustable and with the medium sized wedge I don’t print and conceal perfectly. Fits the Hellcat Pro like a glove. I will be buying these for all of my carry firearms. 10/10
James H.
Absolutely love the holster. The mag pouch gets in the way when driving when I carry appendix so take it off and swap a clip and it's perfect most days, only issue I'd like to see in future design may be wider foam wedges. The ones on it are good for the most part but are just narrow enough to get into the muscle and push on nerves a bit haha. Overall very happy and wear/train w it every day. Going to use it for upcoming IDPA matches in the near future
Jacob B.
Everything I was hoping for and more! 10/10
Comfort, concealment, and quality.
Sebastian H.
Great product, super high quality, lot of options to customize it as well. I had to adjust mine to fit the way I wanted, I would recommend get wedges just to have the option. Overall super happy, I’ll be buying another one within the week
Anthony C.
Execellent equipment
Dalton M.

Amazing holster..very comfortable and easy to conceal as promoted..love it’s skeleton structure..I recommend it..nothing against trex arms but T1…much better because of the cords ability to make it flexible to different body types
Darius K.
Great product. Very comfortable. This is the best holster system I’ve invested in this far.

Super comfortable, worth the money

The good: The modularity of the stackable wing is great. The magazine carrier can also fit a SnakeStaff ETQ if you so choose which is convenient. The shock cord gives just enough flex to bend to your body and increase concealment a bit combined with the ridge on the magazine carrier. Drawing from the Axis Elite is also FAST. I ran a USPSA match with it and did quite well. However, I want to say that it's fast because the gun keels away from the body and doesn't conceal all that well, which I'll get to.
The bad: The gun has a few millimeters of play and slop left and right inside the holster. Tightening it does nothing but increase passive retention while the slop is still there. Concealment (on my 6 ft 220lb frame, at least) is average. Both my G34 and G19 want to keel outward. A wedge fixed it to a degree.
Overall: They're popular for a reason. I don't think someone is making the wrong choice buying an Axis Elite. It's just not for me. I expected more out of a $135 holster.
Bradley M.
Comfortable, forms to my body well and is light but holds everything well. 10/10 reccomend. Carry full size everyday with no problems and train with these holsters from conceal all the time
Ricardo M.
Love this holster! I can’t express it enough. I tried some patriotic “competitors” products and after my long wait, all I received was disappointment (which I promptly returned). With T1C, I’m extremely satisfied, they are not even in the same league as all the other holster companies. I can confidently say I will never buy from another company as long as they keep their superb quality, design and amazing customer experience. Couldn’t be happier with my Axis Elite and I can’t wait to buy more guns so I can buy more of their holsters!
Luckner L.
Top notch‼️
Jim K.
still awaiting my CCW approval but i wore it around the house and its honestly comfortable cant wait to use it for my edc!
Drew G.
Tier1 is always a dependable product. Comfortable and concealing fit every time.
Kason B.
I really love it, just a couple things are that I wish the back part of the holster that goes against the body was missing some of the sharper edges (not a big deal though). The other thing is that even with the clips adjusted, the holster angles the gun a little to close to the jewls which is a little spooky.
Brent S.
First T1c holster, best and most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Can easily carry my full size g17 with SL TLR 1 HL, and extended spare mag, all day every day with little to no discomfort. Will never buy another brand and will be buying more in the near future!
Bret P.
The very best I’ve ever worn. From morning until bed I wear the holster everywhere. Love it, love it. Love it. The craftsmanship is superior to all others I have worn. Thank you.
Luis A.
Great quality, and good customer service. Turn around time was pretty quick aswell!
Jeremy K.
Been using this for over a year and I love it. The wedge and the wing make the grip and extra mag disappear. Very comfortable when paired with a Kore belt that I can discreetly loosen when I sit down.
Aaron F.
Never buy................any other holster out there. I have to say I am very pleased. I wasn't going to buy it at first, just because of the price. I could justify spending that much on a holster but I'm glad I did. Hands down the best holster out on the market right now. It is very comfortable, sleek looking and well made. If your skeptical, don't be. It's worth every penny. I'm a customer for life.
Heath P.
Well worth the money

The axis elite has made carrying so much more comfortable. The stability it provides makes both a smaller and larger carry much easier.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
You are looking at our AXIS ELITE holster! Specially designed for appendix carry, this is our flagship design that has a ton of amazing features!
- EVEN SLIMMER PROFILE
- SHAPE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CONTOUR WITH THE PELVIC AREA
- 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 TALL THAN .3800" WON'T FIT*)
- SLIGHTLY CANTED MAGAZINE ANGLE FOR MORE ERGONOMIC ACCESS

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.
