If you’re on the fence about buying this holster,..just do it. Most comfortable, best concealed holster I have tried and I have tried a lot of different holsters. Build quality is is top notch too.
Blake H.
Fits great
Austin H.
This holster works perfect for me for my job and off duty carry. Very comfortable and I’d recommend the belt as well.
Tyrone L.
I own 5 Tier 1 holsters absolutely the most comfortable ones I've bought.
Jose F.
Loving the holster. Very well made and comfortable too
Gary L.
Had it for over 6 months and and its holding up great. It is pricey, but completely worth it, since it is the only holster I use now. Super comfortable and easy to conceal with my XMacro. I will buy another one when I need one for my other firearms.
Daniel P.
From carrying at the 4 occasionally to carrying appendix everyday for 12-13 hours with comfort and confidence. Paired with the NextBelt and the Medium wedge. Amazing fit and finish. Also amazing customer service answering all my question before I made the purchase. Now I have 2 of them, highly recommend to give it a try.
Chris K.
Dude, such a perfect fit, especially since it covers and maintains my EDC's safety. Being that it's a 1911/2011, I carry my Springfield Prodigy without the safety on so when I draw, I'm in the fight ready to rock and roll.
The holster has a very sturdy body and great design. I thank you for all your people on the creating of this holster. Great job Tier 1, stellar job.

This is the 4th holster from you
Jack W.
Most comfortable holster I’ve ever used. Highly recommend.
JR J.
I’m 6’3” 235 with an all American dad-bod, the Axis Elite is amazing! I run a Glock 43x with optic and a large Tier 1 wedge, I’m honestly amazed how concealed this holster is, even for a big guy like myself.
Rell G.
I love this holster
mike o.
Comfortable with the installation of foam wedges at pressure points and excellent form, fit and function.
Brandon R.
Ordering and shipping process was awesome and timely, The holster out the box was super comfortable and I’ve been wearing it daily ever since getting it. I wear it for roughly 8-10 hours a day without any discomfort. My favorite part is the holster is comfortable enough that I can even ride my Harley with it still on and it’s just as comfortable. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a holster.
James B.
I’m in love with this holster. The fit and finish are absolutely flawless. The retention was set right out of the box the form and function are second to none. I will definitely be ordering again from Tier 1 Concealment. Icing on the cake; even though I had a highly custom order, I got it in time for my CCW Course. The Relv Moab is absolutely gorgeous, and I am considering doing a matching pistol case/safe in the same pattern. I would recommend this particular holster to anyone who takes concealed carry seriously, and I used to teach courses myself.

Romain N.
As a LEO carrying off duty, an AIWB is the way to go for me! The shock cord gives the holster the right amount of flexibility and a wedge is definitely a welcome addition for comfort.
Thank you T1C! Your products rule!
Cheers from Switzerland.
Andrew S.
I wanted a holster that held my edc and a spare mag, stumbled onto T1C and read reviews. Happy that I now have the hands down most comfortable holster I've ever worn. A little pricey, sure. Worth it, definitely!
Gary C.
I can speak any higher praise for this holster than I already do! I love it so much this one is my third and my go to for everyday duty carry at work as well as my EDC off duty. The holster not only is extremely comfortable, but with the ulti clips it is also very versatile, and the wedge makes it even more concealable. When anyone asks me about a CCW holster this is always my recommendation.
James E.
As a law enforcement officer for over 25years and concealed carrying the majority of the time since then, I was skeptical of how well a large holster system like this would work for me. I have mostly used iwb leather or kydex over the years. This system is not only very comfortable, but conceals easily under a sweatshirt or most shirts that I'd wear while using this style of carry. I learned pretty quickly to not cut corners when it comes to your equipment. I'm 5-11, 205, athletic build (G19 w/light&RD) and have had no issues so far. The holster fits my weapon securely and could be easily adjusted if needed. I didn't have to make any adjustments and this rig is actually extremely secure and comfortable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to cc w/an extra mag. I used to carry a spare mag in the pocket when needed, but this setup actually conceals the mag better and makes it easier to access. Full disclosure: This is the 1st holster I have bought in this style, but I researched a lot and went with my gut and the best option available. 100% I made the right decision!
Tucker J.
This axis elite makes my 6th t1c holster and i have no regrets, i’m running a 19 gen5 with an x300 in a g34 length holster to protect my threaded barrel and my comp when i get it. these holsters are PHENOMENAL… the quality is there, the retention is there. i can’t say enough good things about the axis elite. if you’re on the fence about getting one, just do it!!! thank you guys for making an amazing holster!
Samuel G.
Always the best! I love tier 1
Zachery P.
I’ll start with my only con. I appendix carry and the bottom right of my holster is not slanted like shown in the pictures. With that being said after an hour of wearing, it starts too hurt. I even got a bruise from wearing it multiple days in a row. I will be sanding my edge down at an angle like it shows in the pictures. (P365xl with no light) I’m not a huge guy either. 5’10” 200ibs.
Other than my previous con, this might be the best holster I’ve ever had. It feels great and sits high across the stomach so sitting down isn’t near as bad as other holsters. Everything slides in and stays tight. I even paired it with an alias belt-less strap for shorts. It took a little configuration but now it’s perfect. Now if I could wear it longer than an hour or two it would be 5 stars. Once I sand down the edge I think it will wear for 6+ hours.
Steve
First concealed carry holsters I have ever owned so I can’t say as to weather or not it is better or worse than anything else, but as a first time holster buyer to other first time buyers all the claims are true it is comfortable and as adjustable as they say. I truly do love this holster and would buy a t1 holster for every one of my future pistols
Tim M.
Best holster ever! So good I ordered another one.
Tim L.
This is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. No need to go anywhere else.
Matt P.
You could buy from another holster company….but that would be wrong…and kinda stupid. Do I really need to say more???
Matthew N.
I have worn this holster both with and without the option for your weapon light. The holster without the weapon light option is amazing. Both sleek and comfortable for any task throughout your day. However, the holster with the weapon light attachment can be very uncomfortable sitting down a lot. The extended portion of the holster to fit the weapon light digs into my leg when sitting. Just keep that in mind! 10/10 would recommend holster though. The comfortability of the holster with the weapon light option cannot be helped.
John K.
Tier one is the only cc holster worth getting...
Zac W.
I regret surpassing Tier 1 when I first started carrying my P365 X-Macro. I won't name the other brands I've tinkered with, but I will say they were a waste. Tier 1 is simply the only option for comfort, protection of the trigger guard, and perfect concealment. The price is well worth it. I've tried too many holsters at this point. Do yourself a favor and just get the Axis Elite.
Renee M.
Great craftsmanship
Jake J.
I absolutely love mine. The only thing I would do different is to get the extended mag option. I have a different base plate, and it sticks out alittle further. If I got the extended mag option it be more tucked down and not up against my stomach. Overall, outstanding quality, and great product.
Jeffrey N.
Love it and the other I ordered. About to order a third.
Jacob B.
The best holster I’ve ever bought
Mark J.
This quickly became my favorite holster for everyday wear. It’s very comfortable, easy to remove when needed, and securely holds the firearm. I’ve been able to use this holster for everything from driving, to work, and even on long trail runs.
Christopher L.
I love it. Worth the wait . I'll keep purchasing more when I decide to buy more handguns in the near future that I decide to keep as my Everyday carry.
Bret P.
Loved it so much I bought a second rig right before I wrote this review. Also the only review I have written in the past five years on IWB holster.
Joe L.
I have not found another holster more comfortable or concealable for my Sig P365X or my Walther PDP 4” Compact. I use these holsters every day exclusively and stopped my search for the PERFECT holster. I GOT IT in my Axis Elite’s. The size of them when they showed up were intimidating until o tried them out. They are by FAR THE BEST!!! Thank you Tier 1!!!
jim f.
Great product and excellent service
Adrian R.
I own four Tier 1 holsters which is a testament to how much I love them. They are comfortable enough to wear all day, have great retention and are adjustable, so I am able to customize them for a perfect fit.
One of the best things about Tier 1 that I just learned about, (after owning my first 2 holsters for about 2 years now) is that they stand behind their products! Unfortunately, my holster for my G26 cracked after nearly 2 years of daily use. I reached out to customer service on a Saturday, and by start of business on Monday they had responded. I furnished them with my order number and they informed me that they would be expediting a replacement.
Not only did I have the replacement in about a weeks time, but they replaced my entire holster! I had only expected them to replace the portion that had cracked. I can’t tell you how above and beyond my expectations they went.
Thank you Tier 1, for not only making an amazing holster, but also standing behind your product and having exemplary customer service to go along with it! It is such a rarity these days, and I had to let you know.
Bobby H.
I was very skeptical going from a 'holster only' setup to the mag carrier side setup. Wow, I am amazed at how the additional space below the waistband spread across a larger area in the pelvic region really eliminated any hotspots.
Additionally I used a yoga block to create a fitted pad across both the holster and the mage carrier to fit and wedge the holster with out as much pressure on the wing to ease stress on the kydex.
Two thumbs up for T1C.
Robert U.
Have to say this holster is amazing quality and hold my X Macro like a glove. I have no slippage at all but comes out quick and smooth every draw. Super simple to adjust to get it just right, but I would for purchase another one for my future EDC!
Eric T.
Great holster. Very comfortable firstly, holds the pistol well with a decent amount of retention for a friction retention holster.
Griffin R.
This was my first appendix carry and IWB holster. It’s been great. It’s comfortable to wear all the time. I’m a slightly smaller sized person and the only time I notice it is when I go to touch my toes. It’s never really in the way of anything. I have found it helps to wear my belt buckle to the left to keep my belt buckle from being pushed out but that’s all. I carry a Glock 27 and the retention on it is killer. Also I’m a huge fan of the extra magazine. All around it’s a solid choice. You get what you pay for.
Michael B.
Next level comfort! Best holsters hands down!
Josiah B.
The Axis Elite is an excellent, durable, and extremely comfortable holster. Moreover, Tier1 has the best customer service I have ever seen.
I carry a Sig P320 XCarry with a Surefire X300 weaponlight and a spare extended magazine in this holster everywhere I go. I also have an Axis Elite for my P365 XL, which is equally awesome.
I'm 5'9" 160# and somehow Tier1 made an appendix holster that allows me to carry comfortably and still have plenty of flexibility on construction jobsites and during physical exercise, and also conceal quite well at church or other more formal events.
If you need absolutely zero printing in a T shirt, you'll probably need a micro compact handgun, but for a full size frame to conceal so well on my body is impressive.
For such a bulky gun with an even bulkier light, I still don't have to worry about sizing up my pants. Retention is adjustable and perfect.
With full disclosure, I have had every Axis Elite eventually crack down the front side where the kydex contacts the trigger guard. This is likely due to the difficulty of getting good retention off the weaponlight. I understand there are material limitations with kydex.
Moreover, considering the high level of strain this holster experiences daily (I often use my gun and belt as an extra support while moving heavy objects), the fact this holster takes several months to start cracking is astounding to me.
Not to worry, for I am now on my third Axis Elite. Both times, with a simple email to the team at Tier1 and a couple of pictures of the cracking, I received a prompt response saying an expedited replacement holster is on its way, no questions asked.
I could look for a better appendix holster, but I have no desire to do so. For my needs, I doubt a better one exists. Plus, Tier1's integrity and service means I will be a customer for life.
Ronaldo T.
Most comfortable holster ever made!
Robert S.
The most comfortable concealed carry holster I have purchased. Incredible quality. I would not purchase or recommend any other holster again.
דני א.
The best holster I ever had ,it’s not cheap of course but for the long run it’s the best decision for me and with the wedges included,from time to time I need to check if the gun still on me because I don’t feel it at all , it’s amazing investment 100% recommend for concealed carry
Adan H.
Really happy with my purchase
Tim F.
Great holster. Well worth every penny. Retention is good enough for my day to day activities where I can sit stand squat bend lean all comfortably and without printing. Will be upgrading to the metal clips to see how those fare.
Bertke I.
Absolutely the best holster on the market. I’ve struggled finding a comfortable holster but this one takes the cake. Look no further.
Jeremy B.
Great product. Exactly what I needed and it fits great. Conceal a G19 and I’m 5’6”. Best holster I’ve owned by far.
Tye R.
At first I found it very bulky and printing. But the issue was the stock plastic belt clips. They are way too thick and print a lot, causing an odd bulge and shape at the waist. The DCC clips are a must! Game changing. Now the whole holster is low profile and easy to conceal. The retention is awesome and the overall design is perfect. Glad I changed out the clips because I almost gave up and sold this, but glad I was patient to try out the clips
Zac W.
Amazing- quick to the draw customer service. You’re not only paying for a premium product; you’re paying for the best service as well.
Rigoberto S.
I liked
Giovanni D.
BEST CC holster!!! Very well made, worth every penny! I carry my C2 with a spare mag every day for work, or wherever i go and it’s very confortable, makes concealment easier for how well it fits! Thanks! Forts T1 holster, DEFINITELY NOT MY LAST!!! Thanks!
kris h.
It’s a fantastic holster. I have one for all my guns.
Don S.
Customer Service is second to none. I misidentified my carry, called and explained the situation, and got the correct holster in no time, and relatively no cost. Who does that anymore? Tier 1, only. You've got me for life.
Nikolas G.
Great holster! Keeps everything very secure and there is no printing whatsoever! I highly suggest sucking it up and paying the extra money for the double DCC clips! They make a world of a difference.
Gabriel D.
I weight 160 pound and have a little belly conceals very well and comfortably with a t-shirt. You can adjust the clips to your liking which I did so that’s an upside. The price might be a little steep but it sure is a quality holster, worth every penny.
Jade L.
Thin, comfortable, durable. Tear 1 holsters are they way to go.
Eric T.
Outstanding product!!!! I’ve run several different IWB holsters and this hands down is the best!! I was reluctant about the price however now running the holster for a couple of months now I would spend the money again.
Thanks for a great product!
Dustin R.
Love the holster and how comfortable it is. This is my first appendix carry iwb holster and not near as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. I highly recommend the wedge pack because it does add some comfort for when you’re sitting or bending down.
Brian W.
I initially bought this as a buy once cry once situation because, let's be honest, it's not the cheapest out there. However...this thing has magic in it. It makes a full size gun disappear like no other holster has. So if I decide to conceal carry a different firearm I will gladly shed some more tears.
Charles Y.
Fits perfectly
Andrew A.
Fits nice and close to the body. Adjusted so the grip sits lower. Draw time is affected but much more concealable otherwise.
Alex B.
So this is my 3rd tier1 holster, so I’ve been a big fan of them for a while now. I had to update my holster since I’m now running a weapon light. Holster comfort and adjustability are top notch and I have zero complaints. The only reason the holster isn’t getting 5 out of 5 stars is because the gun no longer clicks into the holster like it did when I was running it with no light. I do miss that small level of retention and wish they could incorporate it back into the design. While the gun feels secure with the friction retention, I do wonder if it will wear with use. I’d prefer having the positive retention back.
Jeremy S.
Ordered with both sets of clips and the clamp style was too inconvenient for the jean brands I wear. I switched out to standard clips, and like much better with a belt. I recommend getting the lock glue from them at time of order. No complaints about quality, but wait times were at a maximum. Be aware if that matters to you. This is honestly an uncomfortable "rig" for me with mag and loaded Glock. I'm a fairly lean 5'10," and this thing prints on about everything I wear unless I go with frumpy weekend wear. That won't work at office, so I'm now looking for a single holster for the Glock with no extra mag capacity.
Michael D.
This setup is really pretty good. The fit is perfect, with no sharp edges. With my bod I need a muzzle pad.
Jesse C.
This is my third Axis elite from Tier 1. Still the best holster in the game. I’ve been recommending these guys from the start and will continue to. Holster is everything you need for effective appendix carry. Buy once cry once is what I say or in my case buy multiple times lol.
Juan C.
Extremely happy with my purchase. Very minimal and comfortable. The wedge was a bit getting used too, but after a few days it feels good.(maybe should have got a small) Will definitely be buying more for my other EDC.
Wyatt T.
I didn’t like full kydex holders for a long time. I’ve always had a crossbreed holster but they tier 1 holsters is so dang comfortable my most favorite holster now I can’t ever go back. It conceals extremely well! Would recommend to anyone wanting to get one!!!!
Talon W.
First CC holster and I think it's fantastic. I have zero experience concealing and yet have experienced practically zero printing even with a full size m&p. The bungee construction allows the holster to wrap around my pelvis and flex while sitting/bending over, allowing relative comfort everywhere I've taken it. My only wish is that the holster were convertible to a gun only configuration, but I can't hold that against T1C when that isn't how the holster is advertised. Excellent product, will definitely be coming back for more.
Edward B.
This is my 5th holster. The rest of the 4are still in use as well. I simply love and appreciate the safety (hardened fully covered trigger guard), adequate and changeable, level 1 retention, and some level of comfort(numerous wedges option) they bring in for an AIWB carry. I have been rocking with Tier 1 for almost 3years now! Great job guys. Keep up the awesome work! 2A life!
Walter M.
Went with the Axis Elite for my G47. I’ve tried dozens of different holsters. I never tried T1C due to the price. Well I finally bit the bullet and bought one just to see what the hype is about. Worth every penny. The most comfortable appendix holster I’ve ever tried, and it’s not even close. Thanks a ton!
John C.
Only reason it recieved a 4/5 stars is the clips are a pain in the butt to get on and off a belt with the standard clips. If i could reorder this again i would definitelt order with the better clips. But paying 150$ for a holster you would kind of expect it to be top of the line. But the better clips you have to buy. Other than that flawless.
Joshua K.
My first quality holster. Very happy with it
Seth B.
Waiting in excitement & anticipation was the only drawback (granted holster came before max time projected I absolutely love this holster it’s everything I thought it would be aesthetically as well as performance great product‼️
Caleb S.
Great customer service, kept me informed via email through the whole process. Highly recommend, very comfortable and makes concealing very easy. Having the adjustable wedges is so helpful. Being someone who was always concerned about imprinting, it is no longer a concern for me. Best decision that I have made since I started conceal carrying!
Christopher W.
Very well built foster. The metal clips are a bear to work with and fit in the beginning.
Take an afternoon with nothing else to do, and work on your holster. Configure it 2,3,4,5 times if you must and put it back on with the firearm each and every time. Practice your draw(with a cleared and safe firearm of course), walk around with it. Sit on a couch or chair with it. Get in the car and go to the grocery store with it.
Ive had mine a couple of months, and I’m just now ready to put loctite on the screw threads.
Bill T.
I was on the never ending quest to find the
Most comfortable inside the waste band holster. I usually carry a small frame gun for comfort. Then, I found the axis elite and decided to try it out. I bought one for my Glock G45.
What a great holster! I am carrying the G45 with a light and extra mag and it’s as comfortable as carrying my Springfield Hellcat by itself.
Anyone looking for a GREAT appendix holster (even if you have dad body), you have to consider this holster. You will be
Glad you did!
I like it so much that I bought 2 more for
Different guns.
Joseph P.
Most comfortable holster I've used. I carry a S&W Shield 9 and a Glock 19 depending on the day and after switching to the axis elite I don't think I could carry in anything else.
Brian B.
So far so good. Solid rig.
Kristoffer R.
It's exactly what I was looking for. It took some time for it to be comfortable but it's not the holster's fault, it's the size of my gun. Otherwise, once it was broken in, it is very comfortable. Additionally, I loved it so much, I ended up getting another one for my other pistol.
Dominick C.
So I really had high expectations for this because I have friends who recommended this brand.
I think the quality is high, and fits my pistol absolutely perfect with the Trijicon RMR and my light. Absolutely perfect. My only complaint or gripe is the comfort. I don’t see how anyone can drive while wearing? It’s difficult to put on and find a decent spot to wear it and you definitely feel it while it’s on and you are sitting, kneeling, or just trying to put your boots on to go out. Maybe I will find a better way to wear it with less discomfort but so far it’s a great product just highly uncomfortable. Really wanted to give 5 stars but I cannot for now.
Jake J.
Works perfectly! Would highly recommend
Tony P.
Works well, very comfortable.
I have ordered another Tier 1 holster for a different model pistol.
Alexander J.
Great holster and great company
William H.
Perfect
Bradley M.
Not heavy
Firm clips
Good adjustments if needed
Forms to my body great and not hot to carry in 90 something degree weather with 100% humidity
The holster alone has improved my draw time and is more practical
Bryan D.
I waited way too long to get a tier 1 rig absolutely the best !
Tristan L.
Quality holster. Absolutely phenomenal quality and customer service. The shipping took a little bit however it was well worth it. I have multiple holsters and this by far is my favorite appendix holster. 10/10 Would buy again.
Jerome H.
Awsome, as I expected,
Daniel A.
Bought for 365 macro. Def recommend at least a small wedge for comfort. The edges were pretty sharp and created a hot spot. After wedge installed it was extremely comfortable. Quick draws and retention is excellent. Good quality build.
Lukas S.
Really good quality product. Fits perfectly and conceals way better than whatever I had before. Was surprised how good of a grip I got from this holster. Also many options to adjust height of the clips to get higher or lower position of the gun, really liked that. Overall a product worth its price and one of the purchase I had.
Glock 45, Trijicon RMR, Streamlight TLR-1 HL
Isaac R.
Excellent holster
Michael M.
Love em! Wish they would bring the two tone combo back! Make sure your specify if you plan on running a comp not just a thread barrel 4/5 of my holsters i marked “yes” for threaded barrel and they come with the end completely open. So I naturally thought that all of them do. Not so. Wish i wouldve known.
Nolan B.
Even though I order my holster around the holiday season, it still showed up in a reasonable time. As always, the holster is comfortable and protects my weapon. Nobody ever knows when I’m carrying and until that changes I will continue to order from Tier 1 for all my EDC guns.
Jose D.
Was perfect out of the box! Made a little adjustment for my retention preferences.
AXIS ELITE
Jason T.
Great ! I wear it every day ! Even while driving and doing ranch chores.
Neil K.
If you’re on the fence about buying this holster,..just do it. Most comfortable, best concealed holster I have tried and I have tried a lot of different holsters. Build quality is is top notch too.
Blake H.
Fits great
Austin H.
This holster works perfect for me for my job and off duty carry. Very comfortable and I’d recommend the belt as well.
Tyrone L.
I own 5 Tier 1 holsters absolutely the most comfortable ones I've bought.
Jose F.
Loving the holster. Very well made and comfortable too
Gary L.
Had it for over 6 months and and its holding up great. It is pricey, but completely worth it, since it is the only holster I use now. Super comfortable and easy to conceal with my XMacro. I will buy another one when I need one for my other firearms.
Daniel P.
From carrying at the 4 occasionally to carrying appendix everyday for 12-13 hours with comfort and confidence. Paired with the NextBelt and the Medium wedge. Amazing fit and finish. Also amazing customer service answering all my question before I made the purchase. Now I have 2 of them, highly recommend to give it a try.
Chris K.
Dude, such a perfect fit, especially since it covers and maintains my EDC's safety. Being that it's a 1911/2011, I carry my Springfield Prodigy without the safety on so when I draw, I'm in the fight ready to rock and roll.
The holster has a very sturdy body and great design. I thank you for all your people on the creating of this holster. Great job Tier 1, stellar job.

I’m 6’3” 235 with an all American dad-bod, the Axis Elite is amazing! I run a Glock 43x with optic and a large Tier 1 wedge, I’m honestly amazed how concealed this holster is, even for a big guy like myself.
Rell G.
I love this holster
mike o.
Comfortable with the installation of foam wedges at pressure points and excellent form, fit and function.
Brandon R.
Ordering and shipping process was awesome and timely, The holster out the box was super comfortable and I’ve been wearing it daily ever since getting it. I wear it for roughly 8-10 hours a day without any discomfort. My favorite part is the holster is comfortable enough that I can even ride my Harley with it still on and it’s just as comfortable. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a holster.
James B.
I’m in love with this holster. The fit and finish are absolutely flawless. The retention was set right out of the box the form and function are second to none. I will definitely be ordering again from Tier 1 Concealment. Icing on the cake; even though I had a highly custom order, I got it in time for my CCW Course. The Relv Moab is absolutely gorgeous, and I am considering doing a matching pistol case/safe in the same pattern.

As a law enforcement officer for over 25years and concealed carrying the majority of the time since then, I was skeptical of how well a large holster system like this would work for me. I have mostly used iwb leather or kydex over the years. This system is not only very comfortable, but conceals easily under a sweatshirt or most shirts that I'd wear while using this style of carry. I learned pretty quickly to not cut corners when it comes to your equipment. I'm 5-11, 205, athletic build (G19 w/light&RD) and have had no issues so far. The holster fits my weapon securely and could be easily adjusted if needed. I didn't have to make any adjustments and this rig is actually extremely secure and comfortable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to cc w/an extra mag. I used to carry a spare mag in the pocket when needed, but this setup actually conceals the mag better and makes it easier to access. Full disclosure: This is the 1st holster I have bought in this style, but I researched a lot and went with my gut and the best option available. 100% I made the right decision!

This axis elite makes my 6th t1c holster and i have no regrets, i’m running a 19 gen5 with an x300 in a g34 length holster to protect my threaded barrel and my comp when i get it. these holsters are PHENOMENAL… the quality is there, the retention is there. i can’t say enough good things about the axis elite. if you’re on the fence about getting one, just do it!!! thank you guys for making an amazing holster!

I’ll start with my only con. I appendix carry and the bottom right of my holster is not slanted like shown in the pictures. With that being said after an hour of wearing, it starts too hurt. I even got a bruise from wearing it multiple days in a row. I will be sanding my edge down at an angle like it shows in the pictures. (P365xl with no light) I’m not a huge guy either. 5’10” 200ibs.
Other than my previous con, this might be the best holster I’ve ever had. It feels great and sits high across the stomach so sitting down isn’t near as bad as other holsters. Everything slides in and stays tight. I even paired it with an alias belt-less strap for shorts. It took a little configuration but now it’s perfect. Now if I could wear it longer than an hour or two it would be 5 stars. Once I sand down the edge I think it will wear for 6+ hours.

First concealed carry holsters I have ever owned so I can’t say as to weather or not it is better or worse than anything else, but as a first time holster buyer to other first time buyers all the claims are true it is comfortable and as adjustable as they say. I truly do love this holster and would buy a t1 holster for every one of my future pistols
Tim M.
Best holster ever! So good I ordered another one.
Tim L.
This is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. No need to go anywhere else.
Matt P.
You could buy from another holster company….but that would be wrong…and kinda stupid. Do I really need to say more???
Matthew N.
I have worn this holster both with and without the option for your weapon light. The holster without the weapon light option is amazing. Both sleek and comfortable for any task throughout your day. However, the holster with the weapon light attachment can be very uncomfortable sitting down a lot. The extended portion of the holster to fit the weapon light digs into my leg when sitting. Just keep that in mind! 10/10 would recommend holster though. The comfortability of the holster with the weapon light option cannot be helped.

Tier one is the only cc holster worth getting...

I regret surpassing Tier 1 when I first started carrying my P365 X-Macro. I won't name the other brands I've tinkered with, but I will say they were a waste. Tier 1 is simply the only option for comfort, protection of the trigger guard, and perfect concealment. The price is well worth it. I've tried too many holsters at this point. Do yourself a favor and just get the Axis Elite.
Renee M.
Great craftsmanship
Jake J.
I absolutely love mine. The only thing I would do different is to get the extended mag option. I have a different base plate, and it sticks out alittle further. If I got the extended mag option it be more tucked down and not up against my stomach. Overall, outstanding quality, and great product.
Jeffrey N.
Love it and the other I ordered. About to order a third.
Jacob B.
The best holster I’ve ever bought
Mark J.
This quickly became my favorite holster for everyday wear. It’s very comfortable, easy to remove when needed, and securely holds the firearm. I’ve been able to use this holster for everything from driving, to work, and even on long trail runs.
Christopher L.
I love it. Worth the wait . I'll keep purchasing more when I decide to buy more handguns in the near future that I decide to keep as my Everyday carry.
Bret P.
Loved it so much I bought a second rig right before I wrote this review. Also the only review I have written in the past five years on IWB holster.
Joe L.
I have not found another holster more comfortable or concealable for my Sig P365X or my Walther PDP 4” Compact. I use these holsters every day exclusively and stopped my search for the PERFECT holster. I GOT IT in my Axis Elite’s. The size of them when they showed up were intimidating until o tried them out. They are by FAR THE BEST!!! Thank you Tier 1!!!
jim f.
Great product and excellent service
Adrian R.
I own four Tier 1 holsters which is a testament to how much I love them. They are comfortable enough to wear all day, have great retention and are adjustable, so I am able to customize them for a perfect fit.
One of the best things about Tier 1 that I just learned about, (after owning my first 2 holsters for about 2 years now) is that they stand behind their products! Unfortunately, my holster for my G26 cracked after nearly 2 years of daily use. I reached out to customer service on a Saturday, and by start of business on Monday they had responded. I furnished them with my order number and they informed me that they would be expediting a replacement.
Not only did I have the replacement in about a weeks time, but they replaced my entire holster! I had only expected them to replace the portion that had cracked. I can’t tell you how above and beyond my expectations they went.
Thank you Tier 1, for not only making an amazing holster, but also standing behind your product and having exemplary customer service to go along with it! It is such a rarity these days, and I had to let you know.
Bobby H.
I was very skeptical going from a 'holster only' setup to the mag carrier side setup. Wow, I am amazed at how the additional space below the waistband spread across a larger area in the pelvic region really eliminated any hotspots.
Additionally I used a yoga block to create a fitted pad across both the holster and the mage carrier to fit and wedge the holster with out as much pressure on the wing to ease stress on the kydex.
Two thumbs up for T1C.
Robert U.
Have to say this holster is amazing quality and hold my X Macro like a glove. I have no slippage at all but comes out quick and smooth every draw. Super simple to adjust to get it just right, but I would for purchase another one for my future EDC!
Eric T.
Great holster. Very comfortable firstly, holds the pistol well with a decent amount of retention for a friction retention holster.
Griffin R.
This was my first appendix carry and IWB holster. It’s been great. It’s comfortable to wear all the time. I’m a slightly smaller sized person and the only time I notice it is when I go to touch my toes. It’s never really in the way of anything. I have found it helps to wear my belt buckle to the left to keep my belt buckle from being pushed out but that’s all. I carry a Glock 27 and the retention on it is killer. Also I’m a huge fan of the extra magazine. All around it’s a solid choice. You get what you pay for.
Michael B.
Next level comfort! Best holsters hands down!
Josiah B.
The Axis Elite is an excellent, durable, and extremely comfortable holster. Moreover, Tier1 has the best customer service I have ever seen.
I carry a Sig P320 XCarry with a Surefire X300 weaponlight and a spare extended magazine in this holster everywhere I go. I also have an Axis Elite for my P365 XL, which is equally awesome.
I'm 5'9" 160# and somehow Tier1 made an appendix holster that allows me to carry comfortably and still have plenty of flexibility on construction jobsites and during physical exercise, and also conceal quite well at church or other more formal events.
If you need absolutely zero printing in a T shirt, you'll probably need a micro compact handgun, but for a full size frame to conceal so well on my body is impressive.
For such a bulky gun with an even bulkier light, I still don't have to worry about sizing up my pants. Retention is adjustable and perfect.
With full disclosure, I have had every Axis Elite eventually crack down the front side where the kydex contacts the trigger guard. This is likely due to the difficulty of getting good retention off the weaponlight. I understand there are material limitations with kydex.
Moreover, considering the high level of strain this holster experiences daily (I often use my gun and belt as an extra support while moving heavy objects), the fact this holster takes several months to start cracking is astounding to me.
Not to worry, for I am now on my third Axis Elite. Both times, with a simple email to the team at Tier1 and a couple of pictures of the cracking, I received a prompt response saying an expedited replacement holster is on its way, no questions asked.
I could look for a better appendix holster, but I have no desire to do so. For my needs, I doubt a better one exists. Plus, Tier1's integrity and service means I will be a customer for life.
Ronaldo T.
Most comfortable holster ever made!
Robert S.
The most comfortable concealed carry holster I have purchased. Incredible quality. I would not purchase or recommend any other holster again.
דני א.
The best holster I ever had ,it’s not cheap of course but for the long run it’s the best decision for me and with the wedges included,from time to time I need to check if the gun still on me because I don’t feel it at all , it’s amazing investment 100% recommend for concealed carry
Adan H.
Really happy with my purchase
Tim F.
Great holster. Well worth every penny. Retention is good enough for my day to day activities where I can sit stand squat bend lean all comfortably and without printing. Will be upgrading to the metal clips to see how those fare.
Bertke I.
Absolutely the best holster on the market. I’ve struggled finding a comfortable holster but this one takes the cake. Look no further.
Jeremy B.
Great product. Exactly what I needed and it fits great. Conceal a G19 and I’m 5’6”. Best holster I’ve owned by far.
Tye R.
At first I found it very bulky and printing. But the issue was the stock plastic belt clips. They are way too thick and print a lot, causing an odd bulge and shape at the waist. The DCC clips are a must! Game changing. Now the whole holster is low profile and easy to conceal. The retention is awesome and the overall design is perfect. Glad I changed out the clips because I almost gave up and sold this, but glad I was patient to try out the clips
Zac W.
Amazing- quick to the draw customer service. You’re not only paying for a premium product; you’re paying for the best service as well.
Rigoberto S.
I liked
Giovanni D.
BEST CC holster!!! Very well made, worth every penny! I carry my C2 with a spare mag every day for work, or wherever i go and it’s very confortable, makes concealment easier for how well it fits! Thanks! Forts T1 holster, DEFINITELY NOT MY LAST!!! Thanks!
kris h.
It’s a fantastic holster. I have one for all my guns.
Don S.
Customer Service is second to none. I misidentified my carry, called and explained the situation, and got the correct holster in no time, and relatively no cost. Who does that anymore? Tier 1, only. You've got me for life.
Nikolas G.
Great holster! Keeps everything very secure and there is no printing whatsoever! I highly suggest sucking it up and paying the extra money for the double DCC clips! They make a world of a difference.
Gabriel D.
I weight 160 pound and have a little belly conceals very well and comfortably with a t-shirt. You can adjust the clips to your liking which I did so that’s an upside. The price might be a little steep but it sure is a quality holster, worth every penny.
Jade L.
Thin, comfortable, durable. Tear 1 holsters are they way to go.
Eric T.
Outstanding product!!!! I’ve run several different IWB holsters and this hands down is the best!! I was reluctant about the price however now running the holster for a couple of months now I would spend the money again.
Thanks for a great product!
Dustin R.
Love the holster and how comfortable it is. This is my first appendix carry iwb holster and not near as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. I highly recommend the wedge pack because it does add some comfort for when you’re sitting or bending down.
Brian W.
I initially bought this as a buy once cry once situation because, let's be honest, it's not the cheapest out there. However...this thing has magic in it. It makes a full size gun disappear like no other holster has. So if I decide to conceal carry a different firearm I will gladly shed some more tears.
Charles Y.
Fits perfectly
Andrew A.
Fits nice and close to the body. Adjusted so the grip sits lower. Draw time is affected but much more concealable otherwise.
Alex B.
So this is my 3rd tier1 holster, so I’ve been a big fan of them for a while now. I had to update my holster since I’m now running a weapon light. Holster comfort and adjustability are top notch and I have zero complaints. The only reason the holster isn’t getting 5 out of 5 stars is because the gun no longer clicks into the holster like it did when I was running it with no light. I do miss that small level of retention and wish they could incorporate it back into the design. While the gun feels secure with the friction retention, I do wonder if it will wear with use. I’d prefer having the positive retention back.
Jeremy S.
Ordered with both sets of clips and the clamp style was too inconvenient for the jean brands I wear. I switched out to standard clips, and like much better with a belt. I recommend getting the lock glue from them at time of order. No complaints about quality, but wait times were at a maximum. Be aware if that matters to you. This is honestly an uncomfortable "rig" for me with mag and loaded Glock. I'm a fairly lean 5'10," and this thing prints on about everything I wear unless I go with frumpy weekend wear. That won't work at office, so I'm now looking for a single holster for the Glock with no extra mag capacity.
Michael D.
This setup is really pretty good. The fit is perfect, with no sharp edges. With my bod I need a muzzle pad.
Jesse C.
This is my third Axis elite from Tier 1. Still the best holster in the game. I’ve been recommending these guys from the start and will continue to. Holster is everything you need for effective appendix carry. Buy once cry once is what I say or in my case buy multiple times lol.
Juan C.
Extremely happy with my purchase. Very minimal and comfortable. The wedge was a bit getting used too, but after a few days it feels good.(maybe should have got a small) Will definitely be buying more for my other EDC.
Wyatt T.
I didn’t like full kydex holders for a long time. I’ve always had a crossbreed holster but they tier 1 holsters is so dang comfortable my most favorite holster now I can’t ever go back. It conceals extremely well! Would recommend to anyone wanting to get one!!!!
Talon W.
First CC holster and I think it's fantastic. I have zero experience concealing and yet have experienced practically zero printing even with a full size m&p. The bungee construction allows the holster to wrap around my pelvis and flex while sitting/bending over, allowing relative comfort everywhere I've taken it. My only wish is that the holster were convertible to a gun only configuration, but I can't hold that against T1C when that isn't how the holster is advertised. Excellent product, will definitely be coming back for more.
Edward B.
This is my 5th holster. The rest of the 4are still in use as well. I simply love and appreciate the safety (hardened fully covered trigger guard), adequate and changeable, level 1 retention, and some level of comfort(numerous wedges option) they bring in for an AIWB carry. I have been rocking with Tier 1 for almost 3years now! Great job guys. Keep up the awesome work! 2A life!
Walter M.
Went with the Axis Elite for my G47. I’ve tried dozens of different holsters. I never tried T1C due to the price. Well I finally bit the bullet and bought one just to see what the hype is about. Worth every penny. The most comfortable appendix holster I’ve ever tried, and it’s not even close. Thanks a ton!
John C.
Only reason it recieved a 4/5 stars is the clips are a pain in the butt to get on and off a belt with the standard clips. If i could reorder this again i would definitelt order with the better clips. But paying 150$ for a holster you would kind of expect it to be top of the line. But the better clips you have to buy. Other than that flawless.
Joshua K.
My first quality holster. Very happy with it
Seth B.
Waiting in excitement & anticipation was the only drawback (granted holster came before max time projected I absolutely love this holster it’s everything I thought it would be aesthetically as well as performance great product‼️
Caleb S.
Great customer service, kept me informed via email through the whole process. Highly recommend, very comfortable and makes concealing very easy. Having the adjustable wedges is so helpful. Being someone who was always concerned about imprinting, it is no longer a concern for me. Best decision that I have made since I started conceal carrying!
Christopher W.
Very well built foster. The metal clips are a bear to work with and fit in the beginning.
Take an afternoon with nothing else to do, and work on your holster. Configure it 2,3,4,5 times if you must and put it back on with the firearm each and every time. Practice your draw(with a cleared and safe firearm of course), walk around with it. Sit on a couch or chair with it. Get in the car and go to the grocery store with it.
Ive had mine a couple of months, and I’m just now ready to put loctite on the screw threads.
Bill T.
I was on the never ending quest to find the
Most comfortable inside the waste band holster. I usually carry a small frame gun for comfort. Then, I found the axis elite and decided to try it out. I bought one for my Glock G45.
What a great holster! I am carrying the G45 with a light and extra mag and it’s as comfortable as carrying my Springfield Hellcat by itself.
Anyone looking for a GREAT appendix holster (even if you have dad body), you have to consider this holster. You will be
Glad you did!
I like it so much that I bought 2 more for
Different guns.
Joseph P.
Most comfortable holster I've used. I carry a S&W Shield 9 and a Glock 19 depending on the day and after switching to the axis elite I don't think I could carry in anything else.
Brian B.
So far so good. Solid rig.
Kristoffer R.
It's exactly what I was looking for. It took some time for it to be comfortable but it's not the holster's fault, it's the size of my gun. Otherwise, once it was broken in, it is very comfortable. Additionally, I loved it so much, I ended up getting another one for my other pistol.
Dominick C.
So I really had high expectations for this because I have friends who recommended this brand.
I think the quality is high, and fits my pistol absolutely perfect with the Trijicon RMR and my light. Absolutely perfect. My only complaint or gripe is the comfort. I don’t see how anyone can drive while wearing? It’s difficult to put on and find a decent spot to wear it and you definitely feel it while it’s on and you are sitting, kneeling, or just trying to put your boots on to go out. Maybe I will find a better way to wear it with less discomfort but so far it’s a great product just highly uncomfortable. Really wanted to give 5 stars but I cannot for now.
Jake J.
Works perfectly! Would highly recommend
Tony P.
Works well, very comfortable.
I have ordered another Tier 1 holster for a different model pistol.
Alexander J.
Great holster and great company
William H.
Perfect
Bradley M.
Not heavy
Firm clips
Good adjustments if needed
Forms to my body great and not hot to carry in 90 something degree weather with 100% humidity
The holster alone has improved my draw time and is more practical
Bryan D.
I waited way too long to get a tier 1 rig absolutely the best !
Tristan L.
Quality holster. Absolutely phenomenal quality and customer service. The shipping took a little bit however it was well worth it. I have multiple holsters and this by far is my favorite appendix holster. 10/10 Would buy again.
Jerome H.
Awsome, as I expected,
Daniel A.
Bought for 365 macro. Def recommend at least a small wedge for comfort. The edges were pretty sharp and created a hot spot. After wedge installed it was extremely comfortable. Quick draws and retention is excellent. Good quality build.
Lukas S.
Really good quality product. Fits perfectly and conceals way better than whatever I had before. Was surprised how good of a grip I got from this holster. Also many options to adjust height of the clips to get higher or lower position of the gun, really liked that. Overall a product worth its price and one of the purchase I had.
Glock 45, Trijicon RMR, Streamlight TLR-1 HL
Isaac R.
Excellent holster
Michael M.
Love em! Wish they would bring the two tone combo back! Make sure your specify if you plan on running a comp not just a thread barrel 4/5 of my holsters i marked “yes” for threaded barrel and they come with the end completely open. So I naturally thought that all of them do. Not so. Wish i wouldve known.
Nolan B.
Even though I order my holster around the holiday season, it still showed up in a reasonable time. As always, the holster is comfortable and protects my weapon. Nobody ever knows when I’m carrying and until that changes I will continue to order from Tier 1 for all my EDC guns.
Jose D.
Was perfect out of the box! Made a little adjustment for my retention preferences.
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
- 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 TALLER THAN 0.3800" WON'T FIT*)
- Slightly Canted Magazine Angle For More Ergonomic Access
- Strategically Placed Gusseting To Increase Strength In Problem Areas
- Comes standard with our EZ ADJUST™ System
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.
