Just received in the mail this morning. Fit and finish is outstanding. With a couple minor adjustments for personal preference, it's incredibly comfortable. Not to say other brands are bad, but I'm extremely happy I stuck with my gut feeling and reviews from others.
Nicholas F.
I ordered the Axis-Elite for a Shadow Systems MR920 pistol. Fit and finish of the holster is great. The adjustments for retention on the pistol/mag carrier and for ride height on the belt clips give you plenty of options to fit your preferences as the user. The comfort and concealment of this holster is excellent. I would recommend this holster to anyone looking for a solid appendix style IWB holster.
Cody D.
This holster works great for me. I have a hard time finding a good holster because I have such a small frame. This holster conceals extremely well, and is as comfortable as you can get when it comes to holsters.
Jedidiah C.
Got this to conceal carry my S&W Shield Plus and I absolutely love it! It’s comfortable, the fit is Tremendous, and I Feel completely secure in its retention and trigger protection. The cord allows the two parts to flex to perfectly fit your body and the claw pushes it back into my body allowing it to conceal almost to invisibility. Definitely going to order another one of these for a bigger gun so I can conceal it during the winter months with baggier layers. Great Job Guys!
Gabriel G.
Incredibly comfortable, best holster for appendix carry bar none.
Timmie M.
Super comfortable holster. I can wear it all day. I'm printing more than I'd like but I'm trying different adjustments to minimize it as much as possible.
Samantha S.
The holster fits well and is very comfortable, but it has scratched the slide of my M&P shield which I am not happy about. I love everything else about the holster but wish it didn’t come with the price of permanently damaging my gun.
Matthew C.
A fantastic option for your daily carry needs! Its comfortable even fully setup with light and red dot. Carries the weight well and sits secured. Id say after considering my options I went with the best choice for my setup
Matthew S.
Hands down best holster I’ve ever had!
Eder R.
Good quality just wish the holster wouldn’t go about 1” past the actual muzzle it just makes you have to wear it that much further up past your waistline
Robert L.
I was very skeptical about this purchase, only because I have made a few holster purchases prior and didn’t want to spend and make a big purchase to find out that I might not like it. I was looking for an appendix light baring holsters that had a sidecar. I looked on YouTube and blogs for reviews and finally pulled the trigger. By far my favorite holsters and the most comfortable and I am comparing this to my Tenicor. I should have made this my first purchase. I would have saved me a lot of money. Great product and customer service.
Ari D.
The holster is comfortable, it flexes well with the paracord to contour my waist. It feels like I’m not wearing a gun at all
Michael O.
Straight up… it is silly of anyone not to get this holster.
Vic D.
My first holster was a Tier 1 M1 which I still use today, I’ve tried other companies or holsters, but this holster here is the most comfortable, most durable, and most concealable holster I’ve ever had. Can’t go wrong with anything them make!
Lucas T.
I tried a couple “budget” holsters and absolutely nothing compares to the axis elite. I do have some issues getting it on and off the belt from time to time but it just shows how secure it is to your body.
Onyx C.
Its been super comfortable, durable, and concealed.
David H.
This is my first IWB holster and I love it. I have no previous holsters to compare its comfort to, but all things considered I don't mind it when carrying. The comfort of knowing I'm carrying far outweighs any physical discomfort. The adjustment system is great! I set the ride height slightly higher after receiving it in the mail and haven't changed it since. Adjustable retainment is a great addition and works very well. Very happy with this holster and would recommend!
Donald S.
Love your stuff just got a holster and the alias clip setup. Can’t wait to order more.
Justin R.
Quality-made kydex holster.. can’t be happier with how comfortable and versatile it is. The wedge pack was essential to get a good fit as I had to try out a few sizes for a little while with different pants and outfits. Overall I ended up going with the double wide size small to get better padded coverage against my body and to give the holster a little muzzle tilt away from my pishadeel. Great job fellas!
William W.
My second holster from Tier 1.. I'm truly a supporter of their products

This is my 8th holster from T1C. Perfect as always, best holsters in the game!
Jonah C.
fits perfect and works great, happy with the whole experience.
Ryan S.
Great holster. Pretty comfy and having the extra mag is nice. Have used it in shooting competitions and always been able to draw cleanly. I have a flashlight and the retention is great. Lots of adjustability.
4 stars not 5 only because it’s expensive.
Tim B.
Most comfortable holster I own. Feel like I can conceal carry more gun.

Marcus K.
Amazing holster, my second holster with my first being the xiphos. The only company I will only buy holsters from!!
Stephen W.
Tier 1 for the win!
Honestly,I was skeptical. The Walther PDP compact is definitely not a small firearm to hide. The Axis elite does just that. My only gripe is nothing to do with the holster. Well maybe. Where the spare mag sits u now have to sand the corner of the mag so it doesn't poke into me. Not a big deal. Thanks guys!
Brandon Z.
Amazing great product like always! I always recommend Tier1 to anyone who ever asks me about holster and I will continue to recommend their products! Thank you Tier1 for making great products.
Nir C.
Perfect holster
Perfect material
Perfect service
Colin M.
These are the only holsters I will use. And yes, I have a bag full of others I tried before I found Tier1. They are by far the greatest and most comfortable holsters I have ever used!
Michael M.
I have an Axis Elite for several of my pistols. I wear it 8-10 hours each day carrying a Glock 43X. Very comfortable! Great products!
Jesse B.
This is the best holster I have ever owned. Exactly what hat I was looking for.
John C.
Best holster money can buy! Excellent quality and super comfortable. No need to shop anywhere else.
Warren M.
I love the Axis Elite series. I presently have two, one for a P365 and another for a Staccato C2. This is my go to holster for AIWB carry.
Julian J.
Ordered this as my first IWB holster for my glock 19.3 with a ramjet and afterburner installed and chose the recon sandstorm color. It took a while to get to me, but in my opinion it's worth the wait. The color and design of the holster is awesome. The gun has a nice audible click when you holster and it's very easy to adjust the retention. It does need locktight on the screws, so make sure you make your adjustments then apply to ensure the screws don't walk out. It's a great IWB holster choice!
Miles S.
The Axis Elite is the most comfortable holster I own, and the only one I use now. Equally important, this company is great to work with. I’ve ordered a couple of different items from them and customer service is incomparable. Donovan in customer service was friendly and helpful, and pursued multiple options to get me the exact piece of hardware that I needed. T1C has earned another lifetime customer!
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.
Chris Kary
Tim J.
Quality product delivered on time
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.
JB
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.

Donovan in customer service was friendly and helpful, and pursued multiple options to get me the exact piece of hardware that I needed. T1C has earned another lifetime customer!

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

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.

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.

Most comfortable holster I’ve ever used. Highly recommend.

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.

I love this holster

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.
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.
