I originally ordered the Axis Elite for a Glock 43x with ulti clips amd loved it! Since then I got the Axis Elite for the M9A3. I wore the M9A3 and with a pair of non stretch jeans and ran errands. I walked around, drove about an hour, no prior adjustments... definitely made adjustments when I got home. Running the M9A3 in jeans isn't bad, is what it is. I wear 5.11 Apex pants for work and can do a good amount of driving, go up and down ladders, no problem and don't even notice if I squat...

I was looking for some type of foaming options for comfort. Even thought of some kind of DIY. I came across Tier 1 and fit perfectly. No need to DIY.

I run this holster with the Ulti-clips and a wedge and it is perfect for all my sweats, sweat shorts, and gym shorts. The concealment claw still works really well with the drawstring. I am able to carry my 19x in shorts and a tight gym t shirt / tank top with very minimal printing. Yes I have to tie the drawstring tight but in the end it just feels like you’re wearing a belt and you forget about it. The two clips help balance the weight very well, and a wedge really helps tuck everything into yo...

Really love my kit. I keep on my body armor and I keep it with me in the truck in case I ever need it. Either for myself or if I ever roll up on somebody who needs help. You never know right? Train hard, train safe and god bless everybody. Take care

This is already my 7th holster from T1 and they are the best in the industry. The quality, comfort, and the style is perfect! Going to order the new APX now to see what that is all about!

Feels comfortable, first IWB holster for my Echelon. Extended magazine does print a little bit, I have another 17 round magazine coming in that I will replace the extended magazine with. I have an athletic build so it does conceal pretty well especially if I wear a loose T-shirt. Definitely recommend this holster!

Buy this holster. It’s worth the wait! I have several Axis Elite holsters for different firearms I own and none have disappointed me yet. For my Zev I opted to get the mag extension and with my plus five it aligns perfectly well. Tier1 keep up the great work.

Ive learned that I can only run T1C. Whether day to day or in my CCW classes. So far they have yet to fail me, despite how violent I am with them. From entry-level Crossbreed, to off body carry, this one works the best.

Really well made and affordable. I love the upgraded Kydex and BMC color. Mounted to a UBL. Retention is great out of the box and the release mechanism is snappy. Will buy another when I finish my SIG P320 build.

My holster showed up. I don't understand how you do it but this is the most amazing thing I've ever owned. Axis Elite and I've not taken it off in two days. Everything I need to do in a day this doesn't get in the way. Driving, work, shopping anything. You guys are amazing and I will now be ordering one for every gun I own..!

I’ll be honest I was a bit skeptical about spending the money but it was definitely worth it! This holster conceals like no other. Super comfortable for all day wear. I put the L 1.5 wedge on and there’s next to zero printing. I ordered it with the T1C discreet carry clips. I love that they really hold everything in place. The adjustability of the clips and the claw make this adaptable to anyone. It took a week or so to get it where I wanted but once I did, it sits perfectly. Liked it so much I ...

It’s a great built holster !!! Very fast drawl. I love the durability of the holster I’ve been using it for several months now. I had a difficult time finding anything for a 1911 with a light they had it and it fits great.

Lokahi K.

Awesome! I'm using a Large Wedge on my non-Tier 1 holster. The Kydex for the holster was poking me on the bottom when I would sit down and it was feeling uncomfortable. But now, it soo comfortable! The wedge pushes the bottom of my holster away from my body therefore pushing the uncomfortable part away. And the Wedge naturally pushes the top part of my firearm closer to my body, making concealing better than it was before. It was very simple to install and the make of the wedge is very c...

Super Comfortable! Well made. I like how it clicks when holstering. It's like a double assurance that your firearm is seated well. The retention is good on both my firearm and magazine. The bungee/cord where it swivels provide a good natural bend. My other holster has a metal swivel. It doesn't conform as naturally as this one does. I am going to order holsters from Tier 1 again.

Needed a holster for my FNX45 for running heavy division for 3-gun and wasn't expecting too much from the holster. But when I received it I was really surprised with the overall quality, no sharp edges or any fit and finish issues and the fitment for the holster was spot on didn't have to mess with the retention at all. In the match it was trouble free and had a few people asking me about it. I'll definitely put Tier1 on my list for recommended holsters

This holster is perfect in every way! My G19 rides perfectly and is a comfortable fit for appendix carry. I will be ordering one for my Sig P320 X5 Legion.

Mitchell A.

I've been using the T1M for a while but recently switched to the axis elite. This is by far the most comfortable holster that I've used! I wish I would've switched to the axis elite sooner! Tier 1 continues to impress me with the quality and comfort of their holsters! It's the first brand I look to when looking for a holster for a new gun and the first brand I recommend to friends, family and coworkers.

I have carried appendix with several different pistols and holsters. This holster does an excellent job on comfort, concealment, and simplicity. Thanks for a great product and keep up the good work.

I have ordered 3 Axis Elite holsters from this company and have referred all of my buddies to this company to get their holsters. I cant say anything negative about my holsters. All of them fit great, the tolerances are perfect and they are not uncomfortable to wear, especially for someone that has a little bit of a dad bod. I absolutely love my Axis Elite holsters. I plan on ordering more in the near future also.

AXIS ELITE

Tyson A.

Great fit and very comfortable. I can wear it all day. Great retention even in sweat pants, but I did put the discreet carry clips on instead of the easy adjust. I also put a wedge on the holster to better conceal my full size grip. I partnered it with the Kore Essentials X5 belt and I love it, concealed carrying couldn't get much easier than that! Especially if you're using a compact.

I have tried many holsters. I have a chest full of them. My friend told me about T1C. I was skeptical because of the price. But I was wasting money buying multiple holsters I didn’t like. So I took a chance. My first was an Axis Elite. Now I have a T1C holster for all my toys. I’m loving this new Xiphos Elite. The adjustability and comfort is perfect. I loved it so much I ordered another one with the Halloween kydex. T1C are the only holsters I will buy now.

XIPHOS ELITE

William O.

This is the holster for me, finally! It fits well with my body, even for a full size firearm and I have a small and slim frame. The additional canting of the mag pouch truly makes a difference in comfort. I would have preferred a full sweat guard to protect the external safety on the gun, but the medium one holds it adequately for an extended safety.

This my 2 holster my first one was a couple years ago and it's still my favorite holster for my p320. So I just purchased one for my p365 Macro, and it's even better with the elastic tie. All adjustments you can make to help you with your draw. Plus if you go to there YouTube Chanel they give you different targets and challenges to help you train and get better as a CCW carrier.

The Xiphos Elite is an awesome holster. I carry on the back-right, and I can wear it all day. Solid build. If they had an option for the Inforce Wild-1, I'd buy another one.

Fits everything I've put in it with my TLR1. Quite comfortable also. Yes, its a bit pricey but its it's the last holster I'm going to need. New gun? No worries. Put the light on and presto...you already have a holster. Good fit and finish also.

undefined review of AXIS SLIM image 1 out of 3

Mike H.

Axis slim because axis elite wasn’t available for my configuration. HK VP9 standard with Streamlight TLR-7X. Went with recon haze front kydex… it sort of matches the bronze gun slide. No mag extension. XL wide wedge was too big, will need to shave it down and add Velcro to it so I can remove it from the holster as needed. Using three spacers on the claw. I like the discreet carry clips, they are definitely tough and strong, lending to a bit of belt scratching, not a big deal. Will see how it w...

Absolutely the best appendix carry holster there is. Spend the money. There’s a reason why it’s more expensive than other holsters but the difference is so irrelevant if you carry everyday all, all day long. The comfort and added concealment is worth it if it was twice the expense. My only regret is choosing to order one for the Sig P365 Macro. With a holster like this combined with a Core belt, I can carry a full size gun. When they come out with one for an Atlas Gunworks, I’m going to order an...

I ordered the Xiphos and Spara together for my G19.5 with TLR8. It’s winter here in New England and I envisioned the Spara being my daily wear. Not exactly how it went. The Xiphos is the most comfortable iwb I’ve ever had. I wear it almost exclusively. You can’t go wrong with one of these for your daily.10/10

Cadarrel B.

Ive should have ordered this holster the first time around for my 43x. But I was looking at the price mainly. Well I can say, that you get what you pay for. This holster is very comfortable and my 43x is now in the safe since I got this holster(Glock19 with x300ua). Will highly recommend to anyone. Don’t forget the wedging packs.

The quality is amazing, it’s definitely my favorite holster. If I could have the option to screw it instead so it won’t snap that would be awesome, simply because of how well it conceals it’s awesome nonetheless.

Absolutely the best IWB holster I have ever used. I've used many different brands in over 30+ years of concealed carry. Including Harry's, witch are a great holster.. Blackhawk, Gallo Leather, and many others. This holster tops them all, period. The 1 thing I don't like is the wedge. That think rubs.

This was my first holster purchase. I spent weeks looking around the internet at a ton of other holsters, I was on YouTube watching so many videos. I searched on Instagram for other people’s choices of holsters. I was about to buy a super cheap one at my local firearms shop just to have something. Then I came across a YouTube Shorts video from Tier1, I dove right and watched video after video. My mind was set, “I’m getting this one,” I told myself. I will never ever buy any other brand of holste...

Hands down, the best holster I have ever used. Having the ability to comfortably carry my Glock 45 and FNX45-T in the same holster makes it unbeatable. There aren’t many holsters like this one that allow you to fully conceal a full size handgun while wearing a t-shirt.

This holster not only looks awesome with the Warrior Poet theme, it’s well made and most importantly, comfortable! The deep concealment clips make the ride height adjustable where my G19 sites just right at appendix.

For the first time ever, I have a holster that I love to carry every day! The Axis Elite holster is amazing. I carry the Spring Field Hellcat in my holster. I was skeptical to pay that price for this holster but I can truly say it was worth it.

Andrew P.

Grabbed an axis elite for my G19 gen 5, it fits amazing. Even though I didn’t order it with running a comp in mind, I ended up grabbing a radian afterburner + ramjet combo, and since it’s open at the bottom, it’ll still work! If you’re looking for quality holsters, T1C is the way to go.

Tyler T.

Ahhh man, what can I say it’s tier1. This is my 5th holster from tier1 and my first axis elite, ive tried almost all their holsters and the agis elite will be my 6th. But man the green plaid is something else. This is for my Glock 43x with shield s13 magazines and all I can say is it fits like a glove and super comfortable with and without a wedge.
