Tucker J.

these wedges are phenomenal, first off i have a fairly large axis elite. g34 length with an x300 but im running a 19 with an x300 and comp. before i used the wedges i was still able to use the holster but after some time id get some pressure points and it’d start irritating me a little, the XL wide wedge solved all of my issues. phenomenal holsters and gear. i’d give 50 stars if i could!

This is probably the best holster I’ve ever bought, wait time was pretty long being like a month but the quality of the material and the color combination made it well worth the wait. I absolutely love this holster!!

Controversial opinion This belt is fantastic for appendix carry but it is just as good if not better for 5 o’clock carry I carry every day canceled as a full-time mechanic, I needed this

My first Axis AIWB holster was purchased from a friend who could not adapt to the appendix carry position. I have since purchased 2 additional Axis Elite holsters and recommend these to anyone who wants a quality, comfortable, and reliable EDC rig. Adjustments for height and retention are easy to make. And the responsiveness for customer service and resolution is top-notch! That initial, pre-owned, holster is still going strong!

I've had my T1C AGIS ELITE now for 6 months and I love it! The absolute best rig for IWB Appendix carry I've ever tried. Super comfortable and the adjustability of this rig is outstanding! The craftsmanship is Tier 1!! Top Notch! I also got the T1C X Kore EDC belt and this is the pair to draw to!! You won't be disappointed!!

I'm a 37" waist and ordered the size Regular Tier 1 Concealed EDC-S belt. The stretchiness on the backside makes the entire belt super comfortable to wear. No printing of the "buckle" itself. Holds my P10C with a Guerilla Tactical low profile light-compatible holster really well. As much as I enjoyed my Kore Essentials X3, I ended up replacing it with the Tier 1 Concealed EDC-S.

Ever need a holster that will fit your full size with a compensator and your compact with an optic? I didn’t think I would either, lol. T1C knocked it out of the park again. Excellent care and attention to detail. Retains both without any adjustment in a package that does not print. For best reduced signature, consider the wedges.

I have three of them now, first one was for my Glock 26, then for my 19, and now for my 43x. Any gun I carry, it’s mandatory that I get an axis slim.

Let’s just say this. If something like a holster could be attractive, curvy, thick but in just the right places this would be it..! A perfect fit and form but also adjustable if you needed. Something I’m proud to claim and call mine..!!!

Awesome rig for my 509c, my edc rides in it at work everyday in the hvac trade. Very comfortable when seated, I’m 6’6 275lbs and very muscular and it is comfortable for even someone my size. Highly recommended.

WOW! Just wow! I have been concealing a firearm off and on for nearly 2 decades. Last year I finally decided to upgrade my cheap IWB cloth holster. I did a bunch of research and it’s like there are two diehard groups. Leather and Kydex. Both groups swear by their choice and end their reviews with, “well, it’s ultimately up to the person wearing the holster on whether leather (or Kydex) is right for you.” It seems like you just can’t get a straight answer. After a bunch of research I finally deci...

This is my second tier 1 holster! I recently upgraded my EDC and decided to go with the xiphos elite. My 1st holster is the axis slim for my P365. I also purchased the msp magazine to have the option ti carry additional magazine. Upgrading the size of my EDC i wanted to reduce the size of the holster but not necessarily lose additional magazine. Its worth every penny!

Hello All, Wanted to say that this is my second holster from Tier 1 and it's great. I am about 6'2 290lbs on a good day and this conceals perfect. I do have a stomach but with these holsters, I can carry a full-size Walther PDP or a Glock 43X MOS with ease.

This is my second holster from T1C and again what a great product. If anyone is ever looking for a quality holster and you’re looking on this website then just choose your gun make and model cause you’re at the right place already. Thanks again T1C for an other great product, look forward to getting a third. Great job. Keep up the fantastic work!

Just received my 2nd Echo Holster. This time with threaded barrel cut. I've been carrying with the first one since March of 2022 and it's amazing. Exceptional comfort and retention. Easy on and off. Stable. New one is just as good if not better.

Brian V.

Very happy with this holster! I’ve never carried a side car holster before and always thought it was to big and bulky until I decided to buy this one and it is my favorite holster now. It conceals extremely well and its very comfortable to wear. Definitely worth the money for a quality piece of gear! Fits my g26 perfectly!

Tier 1 hands down makes the most comfortable holster I have ever worn! The Agis Elite is amazing in that it unbuttons and separates the holster from the mag holder if you chose to do so. Craftsmanship is amazing and the ability to make adjustments to height and cant through the clips is great. You can even put both clips on the holster if you chose to set it up that way. Customer service is amazingly responsive to emails and goes above and beyond to help. I am a customer for life!!

By far the best IWBA holster. This is my 3rd one I’ve purchased. My Springfield Prodigy set is my heaviest of any I have or had. But with this holster it feels no different that a Glock 19 set up. I also have one for my Sig Macro and a Glock 19. They are well worth any extra cost verses other holster brands. 👍🏻👍🏻 if I had more thumbs I would put them up with my other 2.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the absolute best piece of kydex I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting in my pants. You can spend a fortune in budget or lower cost holsters only to find that they’re terrible. Let’s be honest. We all love R&D. But Instead of buying and trialing uncomfortable bull**** for months, you could get one of these bad boys. These guys have already done all the R&D for us. If you’re looking for nothing but the best, this is it. Thanks guys! Stay frosty.

By far the most comfortable CCW holster I’ve owned. I carry the Sig P320 Compact RXP with a Wilson Combat grip mod. This setup is way more comfortable than the much smaller P365X in a non T1 Conceal holster that I have. You have a lifelong customer. Thank you T1C!

Nicholas S.

After buying my first handgun, a co-worker recommended Tier One Concealed to me and said they’re his ONLY choice for holsters. After purchasing my own Axis Elite holster for my Sig Sauer P365X Macro, I could not be happier. It’s comfortable, stylish, durable, and well-worth the investment!

"A $200 holster?!" Absolutely! I'm soooo very pleased with this T1C Axis Elite made for my Hellcat RDP w/ a TLR-7sub... perfect. Exactly what I wanted... I was also very impressed with T1C's customer service pre-sale. I emailed with a bunch of questions (prob too many.. ha) and they answered each query within minutes. Wow. I've used other "dinosaur-branded" Sidecar-style holsters a lot in the past for AIWB, and am super glad I decided to try T1C's! Totally worth it! I'll be getting mo...

I absolutely love the new APX holster. T1C always has superb fit and finish. The fit and finish is second to none. The little attention to details that most companies miss out on is what makes them superior in my opinion. The fact that they had molds for my gun is what made me choose them in the first place and I'm glad I did. The p365 xmacro comp is such a great carry gun especially paired with the tlr7a. It fits like a dream in all their holsters and has excellent retention.

My Staccato XC’s new best friend. Never in my wildest dreams have I ever had thought that I could carry a XC. What a gem dude. This is the perfect holster! It’s a modular appendix rig that makes everything else a joke. It must have taken me a hour of tinkering to find the perfect setup but when I say the perfect setup I mean it. The axis elite was comfortable but this rig is honestly now perfect for me! I like that they added the rivets for a second clip too. Now I can drop the mag carrier all t...

Loved my axis elite so much I ordered another tier1 holster a month later, can’t get over the quality and comfort that comes with Tier1 holsters. Tier1 is second to None, don’t think about getting one, just get one!

Jonathan M.

Absolutely hands down the most comfortable holster I’ve had the pleasure of carrying everyday, well made and very easy to conceal a decent size handgun. In combination with Tier 1 S clip edc belt this holster rides super tight and doesn’t sag at all. The wedge kit is highly recommended I went probably 2-3 weeks without the wedges and started getting to were it would be uncomfortable after about 5-6 hours and after putting the small wedge where the holster hits my pelvic bone has made a huge diff...

Arrived quickly and it makes carrying everything from my Glock 19 or 34 to my government size 1911s effortless. Pushes it tight to my body and once I adjusted the ride height to my liking, I could move like I didn’t even have a 34 with WML in the appendix position. Solid product.

Another raving fan- my 3rd purchase!! I generally don’t write reviews but Tier 1 earned all the accolades. Amazing product in all aspects- design, comfort, retention and weapon fit!! Great service and fair price- will buy again without hesitation

Frank K.

This holster exceeded my expectations. I can comfortably conceal my Beretta 92x compact with minimal to no printing at all depending on what I’m wearing, and Berettas are no small handguns. I prefer strong side carry and I’m very happy tier1 had this offering. I’d definitely buy another T1 echo based on this first purchase, and I’d even reconsider appendix in future given the quality of these holsters.

This is my third holster from Tier 1 and the only holster company I will run for concealment. Simply the best. Makes your firearm disappear and the quality is top notch.

I started with going cheaper with holsters. It’s not that cheaper holsters are bad, but more that expensive ones are next level. And tier 1 is next level. I was only lucky enough that I received refunds for all other holsters I tried and wasn’t fully satisfied with. With Tier 1 however was no need for a refund. I have found the ultimate holster. You match it with a kore belt and you have total bliss when it comes to conceal carry. Do yourself a favor and go tier 1. The comfortability is priceles...

Fits the gun perfect, looks sweet. Works great in gym shorts with a 226 and 2 18round mags full of 147g. If it can comfortably carry that much mass and size with minimal to no printing, I struggle to imagine how comfortable and invisible a compact would be.

I received my holster in time to take on vacation with me in the U.P. MI. Top notch work on this holster for my Glock 20. Gun Fits great and I’m looking forward to many years of use with it. Holster rides nice and conceals extremely well for full size Glock. Comfort was a concern for IWB full size, but it’s just as comfortable in my opinion as any sub-compact I carry. This will not be my last holster I buy from Tier 1. And get the discreet carry clips.

First time owner of an AIWB holster. Been carrying professionally since 1980s, but never carried appendix. I wanted to try this carry method due to its advantages. I studied both the pros and cons, and especially as a bigger guy (6’5” 280) I wanted to make sure I didn’t set myself up for failure. All roads led to Tier 1 Concealed as the premier holster manufacturer for appendix holsters. All roads once again led to the Axis Elite. Configuration during the ordering process was straig...

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.

Winner. 10/10. Hands down the most comfortable and concealable appendix rig there is. This is perfect for sitting, standing, lounging, driving a car, and riding my motorcycle every day. Spend the money, cry once and never cry again, because this will be the last appendix holster you ever buy.

I had doubts that this type of holster wouldn’t be comfortable because of my body type but I wanted to try it out anyways and see if I liked it, a complete blind buy. And holy smokes!!!! This holster is more comfortable than most of the holsters I have and this is my first sidecar holster! I got this holster for a Glock 17 with tlr-1 but I only have a Glock 47 and 45 and they fit this holster perfectly. It conceals well with my body type. At 5’5 and 200+ lbs (short and fat), this holster is more...
