Super excited and happy with my T1 MSP holster. I love everything about it, it’s amazing quality, looks, durability and versatility of switching other firearms providing you have the accommodating weapon light is simply game changing. Teir One is A1.

I was surprised with how long it took to arrive seeing as I live in Utah as well so I had my reservations until I realized this is just part of their process. It arrived and I had to make my quick adjustments to fit my needs, super simple and straightforward to do, and now it’s perfect! Hold the firearm securely, love the carbon fiber finish, and ultimately conceals extremely well. They clearly know what they’re doing because it matches the firearm perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. Definitely...

I have bought many holsters usually under 60$. Boy do I wish i would've saved all that money and just bought this one. I love everything about this holster from the flex wing to the customizable claw. The ONLY thing I wish was different would be a higher sweat guard cause I sweat a lot especially in this Illinois heat. I don’t care if it cost more and takes more time but that would make this holster more than perfect.

The perfect combo — comfort, concealment, and confidence. Running my Shadow Systems XR920 in the Tier 1 Axis Elite has been flawless. The fit and retention are dialed in perfectly, and the modular design keeps everything tight and balanced even with a spare mag attached. Draw is smooth, reholster is clean, and comfort is unmatched for AIWB — even during long days. The XR920 itself feels like a Glock on steroids — elite ergonomics, flat-faced trigger, and ridiculous accuracy. Paired with the Axi...

sig p365 x macro with ramjet and afterburner. Customer service is great. They check with you for detail about your firearm before everything. Really happy with this one. Will get one for my Glock 45 (OWB) later on. Great product and thank you very much Tier 1.

These holsters continue to impress the hell out of me. They do a better job with full size models, than some of my other holsters do with subcompacts. This is the most well executed holster I’ve come across.

Awesome holster! It holds my pistol securely, it is easy to put on and takeoff, the wing does an amazing job minimizing printing and most importantly it’s very comfortable to wear! I don’t have any complaints about it!

Really love it, great for side carry. Keeps the gun tight to the body, does not print even though I am carrying a full sized handgun. Retention is easily adjustable. I've bought 3 of these already for my other carry pistols. Highly recommend!

This is my first AIWB holster and after a bunch of research I decided to go with T1C. I planned on this being my winter carry setup since this holster is for my Stacatto P with a X300 light, but after pairing the holster with an EDC-S belt I found it concealable in shorts and the right T-shirt. Now it’s become by daily carry.

Ive owned a lot of different holsters now from tier 1 and the quality consistency has always been top notch as well as the customer service, I really do not have any complaints about there holsters. My Smith and Wesson M&P 9 2.0 full size fits perfect and the retention feels great too.

J L.

Well-made product with a lot of adjustability. great retention (that is easily adjustable as well). Only complaint is I am 5' 08" @ 165 lbs (skinny waist), and the sight notch makes it too thick to carry at 3 o'clock. However, it is GREAT for 1 o'clock carry position. Super comfortable! while it COULD be more compact (especially for us skinny guys), the Tier 1 company as a whole are GREAT PEOPLE, WITH GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A GOOD PRODUCT AT A GOOD PRICE. Truly feels like one of the last bu...

After making holsters for several years I finally wore out my daily carry. I looked at what seemed like every apendix carry holster with spare mag on the market and watched more YouTube videos than I can remember. I settled on Tier 1. This is truly an amazing holster. I can conceal my G17 with TLR 1 HL and spare mag comfortably in everything from gym shorts to jeans with nothing but a t-shirt. The gym shorts require a thin belt underneath but it still blends in perfectly. I was worried about...

10/10 satisfied!… so much so, I ordered another APX on 4/19 for my Shield Plus! Might snag an Axis Elite for the m2.0 but the APX has been perfect thus far! Chefs Kiss! 😘

I own 13 Tier One Concealed holsters as I believe they are the best CCW holsters for me. I have been carrying appendix everyday for 10 years and will continue too. With all 13 holsters I have had zero issues, all the clips have remained tight. The screws have not rusted or walked out. Every TIC holster is the same the only thing I change is the color of the shock cord and I cut my own wedge from a block of foam as I'm very particular about the thickness of the wedge. Thanks for reading my post e...

The MSP OWB holster works BETTER than expected.; 4 Surefire X-300s, 4 separate handguns, and 1 terrific holster (to rule them all!). And yes (to those who find this important), there is a satisfying *CLICK* when holstering my firearms. The holster also accommodates the QVO Tactical Thumb Cliff and White Wolf Concepts Gas Pedal that I run on 2 of the Surefire X-300s without issue.

My Axis Elite is my 2nd side car style holster. When it needed replacing I took John Lovell's advice and got a tier 1. From day 1 it has been the best fitting most comfortable and secure holster I've ever owned. The clips and wedge were set perfectly for me out of the box and adding a foam wedge I can wear it all day in any attire. Shorts and T-shirt, jeans and a flannel I've even worn it in slacks a button down and tie. I would buy another in a second you have a customer for life

I was a little skeptical that I could easily and comfortably conceal a full frame gun but decided to give it a try. This holster conceals remarkably well by contouring the entire gun to my body. I can easily carry appendix wearing just a t-shirt with little to no printing at all. Super comfortable as well for carrying all day, in and out of the vehicle, sitting to standing, etc. Great product.

The best of the best—easily the most comfortable holster on the market. It goes everywhere I do, and I’ll continue to support anything they make. Do yourself a favor and buy two.

I wish I knew about T1C sooner! This holster rocks. Super comfortable and practical. I’ve ran everything from T-Rex arms, phlster, tenicor etc. and this blows them all away. Being able to can’t the spare mag is a total game changer and the overall quality is superb. Never buying anything else.

Tier1 is the premier holster manufacturer in the United States today. If you are looking for an AIWB holster there are none better. They are worth the wait and worth the price.

Great holster, looks great. Took over 15 days to get was the only downside. I have to wait extra long to use it in USPSA event. Other than this I'm happy.

I've tried 3 different holsters to run this big ugly bitch in. And this one done it. It locks in good, the draw is slick. And the look is sick! I I'll run with it! 👍

My first T1C holster and I am very impressed with the quality! This was an upgrade from my other AIWB holster broke from years of use. I got this holster with the wedge sizing pack and this has to be the most comfortable way to carry concealed. Once I made my adjustments and added the loctite to the hardware, it’s a perfect fit for me. No printing when concealed and I’m confident in this very reputable brand so I have a good peace of mind with this purchase. Additional note- it fits my 19X and T...

This is a very comfortable holster. It conceals a full size staccato p very nicely. Tying shoes is awkward, but in general sitting down is no problem with this thing riding appendix. I would not hesitate to use Tier 1 again.

So good I had to get two! I added a cheap wedge on the back for additional comfort/concealment but it was also fine without it. Premium holster at a cost, but well worth the investment.

I don't know why I waited so long dealing with the other holster manufacturers. I have been carrying for 15 year and thought EDC was just going to be uncomfortable. I strap up in the morning and don't notice my holster. Long drives, daily life and I never feel the need to not be carrying. It disappears without printing. I spent more money on the half priced other guys. Do it right the first time and get a Tier 1, don't forget your wedge kit.

By far the absolute best holster I've ever owned. I have spent north of $1k in holsters alone in the last 2 years searching for the perfect product, and I wish I had started with T1C. Take my advise and look no further.

I bought my first Tier 1 holster a few years back. I love it. I love the newest AP1. I just wish they'd make a holster for my Staccato CS23. I would have every pistol I own in Tier 1 holsters.

This is the second holster ive had from tier 1. First was for a sig p320, and now my cz shadow 2 compact. The fit is perfect, love how it works with my light and sight. Can adjust it to be comfortable and just the way I want. Highly recommend and worth every penny.

Had it on the whole day and tested it,it’s soo much better than most holsters I’ve tried.Will buy more in the future and I highly recommend anyone who needs a comfortable light holster.

Went with the Alpine camo to help reduce the profile against the backdrop of a white dress shirt. Fit is great, quality of materials and craftsmanship makes the price worth the buy!

This holster is great! Worth every penny, it fits my TTI Combat with the streamlight tlr1 nice and snug. I can carry appendix with confidence and I can draw the weapon and spare mag quickly and with no issues! Highly recommend!

Timothy P.

Good quality. Took allot longer to recive than I was aware of when ordering. But that's my fault. Did the glock prefect retains prefect. I did need to add a wedge to help prevent the muzzle end of the holster from digging into my groin thigh area for comfort. Gun conceals great.

Very comfortable holster for my PDP compact. It has easily become my favorite holster and I will be buy more for my other pistols. The holster is very high quality and I’m shocked at how well it actually conceals my pistol.

I love the customizability of this specific holster when it comes to adjusting the angle and cant of the magazine holster. However I always use a Mastermind Tactics Appendix Pillow (would love to see a refillable king size collab with T1C branding as its bar none the most comfortable appendix carry ‘wedge’) and for this holsters mags side I had to use a King Size stuffed to the gills. The magazine tends to want to stick out and jut out so I get why they added the little stackable claw plates on ...

Great holster! I went with the deep concealment option for the mag. I’m pretty thin guy so most holsters print a lot on me. Not this guy, it hides my X Macro no problem. I have 3 of these- one for my 43x/shadow systems, A G19 version and this one. Definitely worth it!

Phillip W.

I absolutely love this holster! It's lightweight and extremely comfortable. I carry a full sized 2011, red dot sight, weapon light and a spare extended magazine and this holster makes it all virtually disappear. I carry IWB Appendix and can comfortably move, bend, sit and drive. I carry 7 days a week and work very long days with an extremely labor intestinal job. This holster allows me to carry all day while doing my job with zero worries. Its distributes the weight evenly throughout my waist an...
