Customer's black AXIS ELITE holster with a handgun inside and an attached magazine holder on a wooden surface.

David R.

Great Holster, Super Comfortable, Easy to lock in belt, and Super Awesome While while Withdrawing the Handgun and Magazine. PS: Will like the time to be ship out from Tier 1 be less than 20 days, even that was for a Glock19 Gen5, in full plain black, without a light and for an extended magazine.

Had this for about 3 months now (hot, humid summer in VT). This is the most comfortable kydex iwb I have owned. It is well worth the price. I have nothing but good things to say about this holster.

Tier 1 Concealment has earned my trust completely. I own multiple holsters from them, and every single one has exceeded expectations. The fit, retention, comfort, and overall build quality are consistently top-tier. You can tell they put real thought into design and durability. Out of all the holsters I’ve purchased over the years, these hold the crown — no question. Reliable, comfortable for daily carry, and built to last. I’ve never been disappointed with any of their products, and I’ll conti...

I’ve tried a number of holsters over the years, but the XIPHOS ELITE by Tier 1 Concealed has quickly become my go-to for everyday carry. The quality of craftsmanship is top-notch – everything from the retention to the finish feels premium and purpose-built. It’s clear that Tier 1 Concealed really understands what concealed carriers need.

Spot on fitment, great retention and top notch quality. Also ordered a OWB holster from them. Same experience. The adjustability is very nice to get comfy for daily use! Lead time wasnt bad either so absolutely worth the price/wait!

The best IWB holster I’ve ever bought. Comfort wise it’s unbeatable. I carry my G19 more than my 43X now because the holster makes it easier. And concealment wise it’s magic. Not sure how this sidecar conceals better than a generic standalone IWB but it does.

Always a must when it comes to buy a great quality holster this is my 2nd holster that I have bought this one is for my EDC Glock 43x fits perfect and with the extra mag 20 round ext on the side comfortable even when I am driving. Keep it up Tier Team

A very sound investment. Superb design! I bought this after being nearly A.D.'d by a briar twig when wearing a reputable holster manufacturer's IWB holster with a somewhat less-precise trigger guard cutaway - it was a hefty purchase but I am so glad I did. My T1C Axis Elite is supremely well-made, VERY comfortable with 2x 2.25" wedges, and very, very concealable. A full-size with a spare mag isn't light or very thin by any means, but T1C made it disappear nonetheless. The workmanship is sound,...

Absolutely the best concealed carry holsters on the market. After trying several appendix holsters and being mostly disappointed with all of them, I finally stepped up and purchased the Axis Elite for my S&W Carry Comp. This holster has revolutionize the way I now carry. For over 30 years I've carried at the 4 O'clock position and felt it was the superior way to carry. We'll not anymore!! I now only carry appendix and will not go back unless I'm on duty. Tier 1 is The Holy Grail of appendix hol...

I swapped to this from an axis slim because i added a TLR-7 to my edc gun. No surprises, the gun fits like a glove and the holster is comfortable and flexible for all day wear. It took a little more adjustment to get the retention right the way i like for the gun, spare magazine and shock cord but thats what makes tier 1 worth it. This is the 3rd T1 holster I've purchased, and probably the only brand I'll buy for IWB holsters from now on.

I freaking love these! I own 3 (MR920, CZ P10c, and a G43x). I was very nervous about carrying AIWB being over weight ( 6’ 245 lbs). I was worried about printing and hot spots but, I didn’t have any issues once I made some adjustments. These thing are extremely comfortable and honestly, I won’t buy another brand again. I’m a customer for life and now I can’t wait for my next pistol to get another.

Chase M.

I've tried all the top manufacturer's holsters when I switched over to appendix carry and this is by far the best I've found. It's non-rigid design allows for flex with your body and it sits at a better height than the competitors and doesn't try to stick the grip above my belly button.

Bryan G.

Ive never loved a concealed holster as much as i do this one! I was impatient with shipping but not there fault, holidays were just coming to an end. I went with this 1 simple because it retains off the light instead of the pistol! So i can carry my p320 (current carry in picture) or my G19 Gen5 simply because they both have the same light!. I can carry this with comfort all day. Will buy another 1 in the future with mag attachment. Highly recommend guys! T1C is the real deap for those serious t...

The Xiphos elite is a great holster and that's why I have several Xiphos. Comfortable, great concealment, solid retention, and nice design. You can adjust the clips to a narrow or wider position. For a more stable feel amd to avoid tipping with heavier pistols, I use the clips as wide as possible. Also, sometimes there could be a hot spot so I use their wedges to mitigate it. Tier1 is in my top 3 holster brands.

Ryder H.

I was very skeptical if I could actually carry my DWX full size with a x300 light for any length of time without constant adjustments and discomfort. But here I am and it conceals exceptionally well all day at work. If you want full size concealability that works off your light for multiple guns this works better than any other I've tried. So well I've stopped looking. Of course you need a good belt that can hold the weight but that's neither here nor there. Highly recommend!!!

Am very happy with its fit and function and looks sexy. Very slim and easy to conceal even being a bigger pistol. Happy with everything and will be getting more holsters.

Gregg K.

I actually use these the opposite way they were designed. Most people use them to push the holster closer to their bodies, I turn them upside and use them to push the holster away from me. I get a better grip when I draw the gun that way.

My 4th holster from tier one and I love every single one! Keep up the great work. Excellent retention and great fitting holster even for being on the chunkier side. Conceals like im not even carrying and looks as great as it performs.

Absolutely LOVE THIS HOLSTER!!!! The flexibility and split loops make for easy, comfortable fit. Have tried others but for quality and comfort T1C is the best. Would recommend to anyone. You won’t be disappointed!

After about a month of watching videos and looking at reviews I spent the money and have no regrets. I have had the holster and belt for several months now and barely even notice it’s there. It is incredibly comfortable and high quality. The sleek design is perfect for my M&P shield plus and conceals completely on my skinny/flat frame. There is room on the holster for an optic if I ever decide to mount one, but doesn’t feel empty without one. My only hesitation was due to the price but it was 10...

I don’t have a bunch of experience to dawn from, as I’ve only owned two different IWB holsters for my Para 1911. However, I have to say this is so much more comfortable than one of the competitors. -Zach A

This would be my 2nd Tier 1 Holster I have purchased for my EDCs. However I’ve also been gifted several of them for my other pistols. I can definitely attest to their high quality and retention. Having the side car attachment helps tremendously when it comes to distributing the weight across my belt, especially for Appendix Carry. I usually pair the Agis Elite or any AIWB rig with some Velcro tape to attach some sort of wedge for better concealment. Good thing Tier1Concealed also provides wedge ...

I’ve always been a big fan of strong side carry and this holster blew my mind! I’ve tried dozens of different brands but this one from T1C is the bees knees! Highly recommend it.

Allan H.

Purchased this holster for my p365x and love it. Super comfortable and easy to conceal. Added a T1C 1" small wedge to assist in concealment which helps bring the grip of the pistol closer to your body. If I had to complain of anything (and this isnt a knock on the holster), I wish you could add an attached "sidecar" style mag holster if you wanted to. I know T1C makes other models that can do this, but that would make this model just a little bit better.

T1C Axis Elite so far #1 out of all my holsters…….right out the package the holster needs no adjustments ready to go now that’s a plus+…….right height & angle to manipulate your firearm from both draw & reload back to re-holstering. Good Job, will be ordering my next holster soon.

I’ve bought these clips before for another holster that I own so I knew how strong and lightweight they are. I love how secure the holster feels once it’s attached with these clips.

Jae H.

As a not so skinny man this is the most comfortable and concealable IWB holster I’ve ever owned. It is highly adjustable and with the medium sized wedge I don’t print and conceal perfectly. Fits the Hellcat Pro like a glove. I will be buying these for all of my carry firearms. 10/10

AXIS ELITE

Sean H.

This is the best holster I’ve ever owned. For comfort, the wedge is necessary, otherwise it tends to dig into your pubic bone are just above the groin. But with the wedge, it’s 100% comfortable and it conceals my large frame Glock 21 .45ACP pistol extremely well.

Vito D.

Received my XIPHOS ELITE and it’s great! Very comfortable to wear all day and love how far apart the belt clips are they fit in between your belt buckle. I carry a Glock 19 with. Streamlight TLR -7 HL and holds the gun great with no issues. Top notch product! Thank you Tier 1

This was my first tier 1 holster and I couldn’t be happier. The shock cord provides the perfect amount of flexibility without losing rigidity. Do yourself a favor and do it right the first time by ordering a T1C holster!

My first appendix holster. I’m 6’2” and 270 pounds and I carry a full size 2011 with a 20 round spare magazine. The Axis Elite with 3/4” wedge is awesome! I can’t believe how easy it was to transition to appendix carry. I love it. I’m about to order one for another pistol.

AXIS ELITE

Caleb J.

There’s so much adjustability it’ll make your bed soon, but after you get it dialed in, nothing can beat it! I suffer a bit from Dunlap disease so the angle on the magazine is not only a more natural draws stroke but also WAYY more comfortable and it’s so damn easy to adjust. Finally I would recommend sticking with the plastic clips, this holster isn’t really designed to be worn with a tucked in shirt

Wonderful holster. It fits the same with different guns. I was looking to buy two holsters, killed two birds with one purchase. I have multiple holsters and the best, hands down are the Tier 1 holsters.

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.

You pay a premium price for a premium holster, no doubt, this holster is fiyah! I got this for my X-Macro comp and while the rig might seem pretty big, even for a small pistol, it really does not feel like it. It is super comfortable and conceals well for me... and the draws ... wow! ... feels lightning fast! I can get a perfect purchase on the gun each time I draw. Plenty of ways to customize the holster by changing the levels of the clip and retention. I would recommend to anyone that...

This is my 3rd Tier 1 holster and it is awesome. I got this on for my Glock 45 and I love it. It is comfortable and it conceals very well. Best holsters I’ve ever owned.

Incredible holster! I was a little skeptical about using this holster due to my small frame. I’m a 5’4, 130ish lb female. I was amazed at how well I am able to conceal my EDC with this holster. So comfortable and I love all the adjustment points so I can dial in my setup to fit me. The only issue I’ve had is, when I bend down/ squat down to pick something up, a few of the buttons come unsnapped. I love having the sidecar so I decided to permanently keep it attached. I used some metal adhesives o...

This is my 2nd MSP holster. I have a one with the mag carrier also for ds 9mm. I have a TLR on other guns and don’t always want a mag carrier on. So rather than take it off I bought another the days I don’t want the carrier

Not only an owner of the Axis Elite but now an owner of the Axis Slim and like it just as much as the Elite. If your firearm is not in the Elite line-up don’t be hesitant to check the Axis Slim with more firearms on the list. Awesome quality and awesome customer service every time.

Best IWB holster I’ve seen. Had the opportunity to view many while working at a gun shop. This holster fits CR 920 s withe extra mag like glove. Comfortable enough to wear with shorts with a belt. I have one for MR 920 as well.
