This holster works perfectly with my Arrowhead Tactical Apparel shorts and joggers. I use it to carry an X Five Legion plus the spare magazine, and it holds up great.

Tier1 always provides the best holsters and customer service. I'll never buy anything else. Thanks team
Ian S.
Highly recommend. Carry with a P365 with extended mag at 5’11” , 165lbs and it’s the best fit and concealment I’ve ever seen. The side car for the extra magazine fits really well since it’s decoupled from the primary holster and can move independently. Worth the money if you want concealment and comfort.
Darryl T.
Perfect fit for my Shadow Systems CR920. Best axis holster I've found.
Chris J.
Love T1. Always quick and easy and you can’t beat the comfort and durability.
Chad H.
G43X MOS- fits perfect. Not a single flaw I can find. Slide fits snug and smooth. Noticed a small upgrade from past T1 holsters that the magazine holder has a small bump that secures the mag catch. Really like this. I think Tier1 definitely has the best KYDEX sidecar holster in the business but understand it’s not for everyone. At the end of the day it’s just a Kydex holster and like many others but I think Tier1 add small features and details that help you wear it all day every day with comfort. It’s the small details without an extremely higher price tag that raises them above the competition.
Paul S.
Most comfortable holster ever! I use it for all my carry guns and the wedges makes carring so easy! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10.
Michael R.
I have used at least 5 different holsters from a variety of companies. All were high quality and made to an elevated standard. However, the comfortability and ergonomic controls of this holster defeats them all. I have referred multiple people to the company and now I hope that by reading this review you’ll be compelled to try it for yourself. You won’t be sorry.
Neickers O.
For me is the best Holster period. Comfortable, helps me conceal my weapon with ease and that’s amazing. This is one of many I’ll own from T1C
Arlis H.
Well designed and very comfortable!!
Kyle D.
I've been through plenty of IWB holsters and there's nothing that compares with the Axis Elite. Functionality and ergonomics play a huge role in me purchasing holsters, and this Tier 1 holster checks all the boxes. You have a new lifetime customer.
Tyler F.
Best holsters on the market today in my opinion. They sit close to the body and are the most comfortable holster to travel with. Just spent 8 hrs on the road and it was almost like it wasn’t even there it was that comfortable. Get a ratching belt with it any you won’t be disappointed.
George C.
I like the concealment the holster provides and when I mistakenly ordered a holster for the wrong gun model customer service was outstanding with helping me correct the problem and very quickly getting me the correct one even though it was my fault,Great company
David M.
appendix position along with good kydex is the fastest draw...no doubt. i should have ordered the mag holder for maximun rounds. next time. now using shot timer to increase target hits. hard to get use to position ...but...the trigger guard does its job!!!!
Stanley R.
"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 more soon...
Many thanks to the T1C Team! Well done...

The reason I gave it 3 stars was a few reasons:
1- the color, I had gotten was the Kryptek Neptune color, I was slightly disappointed because I thought it would be more vibrant, it looks cool , but it would have been nice if the color popped more especially for an extra $35
2- There is no satisfying click when you place the weapon into the holster, it just slides all the way down and that’s it.
3- I had to really tighten the screws to make sure my sig didn’t fall off when I tested it. Which I guess isn’t such a bad thing.
Overall I still like it, I continue to use it every day and it’s very comfortable. I’m a bigger guy, 6’1 225 with a little bit of a beer gut and it’s still very comfortable. I probably wouldn’t purchase another one though it being 200 dollars.
howard m.
Great fit very comfortable love the look highly recommended and this is my second one
Blake H.
A good iwb holster makes a big difference when carrying day to day. From comfort, to how well it is able to conceal your weapon. This holster checks all the boxes in my opinion. If you appendix carry, this holster is a must have!
Edward H.
Good solid work all around
Ethan W.
This holster is awesome! I started carrying a bigger gun (Springfield echelon) and got this holster for it. Once I added a wedge in the flat spot it has been super comfy to carry. I thought I would hate the spare mag carrier but so far I have loved it. I can always take the spare mag carrier off if I want but so far I haven't wanted to. My only disappointed is that I ordered the FDE that I though would be a light brown (from what the website shows) but it turned out to be quite dark, almost a green color not the color that was shown on the website. But functionally it is a fantastic design and super comfortable.
Jimmy I.
My latest Axis Elite is my 5th Tier 1 holster. All axis Elite and one OWB retention holster that works with safari land drop leg attachments. I forget the name of that one. They’re All great products
Jesse J.
All I have to say is WHAT AN AMAZING HOLSTER. I was hoping it would be everything I thought it would be after reading so many reviews on Tier 1 and this holster in general. I could not be happier with this design and even the extras that Tier 1 did to the holster to make it truly fit like a glove for my xmacro and the additions I have on it. If you are second guessing yourself due to the amount of money you will spend, stop second guessing and hit that place order button. I will be purchasing more items from Tier 1 in the future. Thank you Tier 1.
Cecil W.
I’m 5’ 10” 145lbs so concealing a full sized handgun has always been a struggle. But I purchased the axis elite now I carry a Glock 19x with a comp and it conceals amazingly. It’s also the most comfortable holster I own if you are needing a holster these are the best hands down!
Ronald J. O.
Holster works as it should, actually better! Comfortable with Hunter C.’s EDC belt. The perfect combo!!! Much more comfortable than my previous EDC system. AND no leg leash needs as well! Wish I would hand found this combo 2 years ago. Great stuff right here!
Wade P.
The Axis Elite is the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. I have one for my P365 and another for my G19. They both conceal well and are very comfortable for all day wear. No need to look any further. This is the holster for me.
Daniel F.
I researched for a while on which appendix carry holster I wanted. I looked at different brands and then recalled a YouTube channel I watched about a year ago. It just so happend to be Tier1. I love this holster system, works well with the claw and wedges. Excellent product along with the Tier1 belt. Definitely a brand I'm going to stick with.
Alex M.
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..!
Les B.
Great holsters, but my latest holster is not quite as comfortable as the last few.
Michael H.
This holster is like the cloak of invisibility for pistols plus its so comfortable you may almost forget your wearing it. The level of adjustability this holster provides is bar-none the best on the market. After two weeks of use I went out and bought a second one!
Jason R.
First holster that actually works like I would expect. Good retention, comfortable, and just all around perfect. Love them!
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
James H.
Absolutely love the holster. The mag pouch gets in the way when driving when I carry appendix so take it off and swap a clip and it's perfect most days, only issue I'd like to see in future design may be wider foam wedges. The ones on it are good for the most part but are just narrow enough to get into the muscle and push on nerves a bit haha. Overall very happy and wear/train w it every day. Going to use it for upcoming IDPA matches in the near future
Jacob B.
Everything I was hoping for and more! 10/10
Comfort, concealment, and quality.
Sebastian H.
Great product, super high quality, lot of options to customize it as well. I had to adjust mine to fit the way I wanted, I would recommend get wedges just to have the option. Overall super happy, I’ll be buying another one within the week
Anthony C.
Execellent equipment
Dalton M.
Fitment is really nice, conceals really well, and I love the Black Carbon with the red!
John P.
Great holster!!!!
Guy I.
Great holster very comfortable and good build very good quality
Moses D.
Great technology and even better customer care.
Jorge V.
Amazing holster..very comfortable and easy to conceal as promoted..love it’s skeleton structure..I recommend it..nothing against trex arms but T1…much better because of the cords ability to make it flexible to different body types
Darius K.
Great product. Very comfortable. This is the best holster system I’ve invested in this far.
Jason B.
Love this holster
עידו א.
Best product!
Rory H.
This is my 3rd Tier 1 holster and not my last, most comfortable in the game.
timor k.
Very Nice and confortable !!!
Jeffery G.
Everything I expected! Great product!
Todd C.
Super comfortable, worth the money
Sam L.
The good: The modularity of the stackable wing is great. The magazine carrier can also fit a SnakeStaff ETQ if you so choose which is convenient. The shock cord gives just enough flex to bend to your body and increase concealment a bit combined with the ridge on the magazine carrier. Drawing from the Axis Elite is also FAST. I ran a USPSA match with it and did quite well. However, I want to say that it's fast because the gun keels away from the body and doesn't conceal all that well, which I'll get to.
The bad: The gun has a few millimeters of play and slop left and right inside the holster. Tightening it does nothing but increase passive retention while the slop is still there. Concealment (on my 6 ft 220lb frame, at least) is average. Both my G34 and G19 want to keel outward. A wedge fixed it to a degree.
Overall: They're popular for a reason. I don't think someone is making the wrong choice buying an Axis Elite. It's just not for me. I expected more out of a $135 holster.
Bradley M.
Comfortable, forms to my body well and is light but holds everything well. 10/10 reccomend. Carry full size everyday with no problems and train with these holsters from conceal all the time
Ricardo M.
Love this holster! I can’t express it enough. I tried some patriotic “competitors” products and after my long wait, all I received was disappointment (which I promptly returned). With T1C, I’m extremely satisfied, they are not even in the same league as all the other holster companies. I can confidently say I will never buy from another company as long as they keep their superb quality, design and amazing customer experience. Couldn’t be happier with my Axis Elite and I can’t wait to buy more guns so I can buy more of their holsters!
Luckner L.
Top notch‼️
Jim K.
still awaiting my CCW approval but i wore it around the house and its honestly comfortable cant wait to use it for my edc!
Drew G.
Tier1 is always a dependable product. Comfortable and concealing fit every time.
Kason B.
I really love it, just a couple things are that I wish the back part of the holster that goes against the body was missing some of the sharper edges (not a big deal though). The other thing is that even with the clips adjusted, the holster angles the gun a little to close to the jewls which is a little spooky.
Brent S.
First T1c holster, best and most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Can easily carry my full size g17 with SL TLR 1 HL, and extended spare mag, all day every day with little to no discomfort. Will never buy another brand and will be buying more in the near future!
Bret P.
The very best I’ve ever worn. From morning until bed I wear the holster everywhere. Love it, love it. Love it. The craftsmanship is superior to all others I have worn. Thank you.
Luis A.
Great quality, and good customer service. Turn around time was pretty quick aswell!
Jeremy K.
Been using this for over a year and I love it. The wedge and the wing make the grip and extra mag disappear. Very comfortable when paired with a Kore belt that I can discreetly loosen when I sit down.
Aaron F.
Never buy................any other holster out there. I have to say I am very pleased. I wasn't going to buy it at first, just because of the price. I could justify spending that much on a holster but I'm glad I did. Hands down the best holster out on the market right now. It is very comfortable, sleek looking and well made. If your skeptical, don't be. It's worth every penny. I'm a customer for life.
Heath P.
Well worth the money
Scott B.
The axis elite has made carrying so much more comfortable. The stability it provides makes both a smaller and larger carry much easier.
Jc J.
I love the quality of this holster, it’s light and durable. Will definitely be purchasing more soon
Benjamin D.
It conceals real well and does the job! Damn, good product!
Ken M.
The Axis Elite I purchased from Tier 1 fit my Sig P365 X Macro like a glove. Even with the light attached the weapon just slides out slick as you please. I am seriously pleased with this purchase. I can highly recommend Tier 1.
Nicholas A.
I have 4 axis elite holsters: staccato p, Glock 19, hellcat pro, and Glock 48.
Great holster. Will buy again.
Brian M.
I love tier 1 holsters they are the most comfortable way too carry appendix. I have a bit of a gut so it’s not sheets easy to carry in that position, but Tier 1 holsters make it so much easier!!
Matthew O.
Best holster for appendix carry, no question.
Leo Q.
Most customized holster I know of. I forget i have it on. This is for my EDC. Allows you to draw fast, conceal well and be comfy? Can life get any better? I submit it can not.
Adrian J.
Bought the Axis Elite after trying many other options, with the hope of finally carrying more comfortable and without printing. I was not disappointed. This holster is very comfortable to carry and conceals very well. I am very happy I purchased this.
Raheem M.
I carry this setup as my off duty carry. I’ve tried multiple holsters from various companies. I’m not a small guy, and have a lil dad pudge in the mid-area. This is by far the most comfortable setup. I can't wait to get one for my G45!!
William L.
Excellent for my G48 with TLR7 sub and Griffin Armament micro comp. Have an older one for my 43X. The newer hardware is definitely an upgrade.
Julian K.
Great holster.Feels well balanced while wearing and conceals great.Took about 2 weeks to receive
Troy E.
Fantastic!!! Fits well, feels well
Mike P.
The most comfortable IWB concealed carry holster, even with a full size 1911. After trying a couple of others, I can argue that you really get what you pay for… good work isn't cheap, and cheap work isn’t good… this holster was definitely and absolutely worth every penny. Highly recommend.
Eric V.
I love my IWB holster! It's comfortable and conceallable.
Rashad C.
I’ve gone through multiple appendix carry holders and this one is the most comfortable one I’ve tried. I use this for work everyday, unless I need something with active retention and personally for EDC. Premium materials and build quality. You will not be disappointed.
Robert P.
Wear it daily, haven’t had any issues. Best and most comfortable holster I’ve owned to date!
Benjamin S.
The axis elite was a huge upgrade from my previous holster. The customization to be able to raise and lower the firearm from the belt line is nice and I love the extra space in my pockets now that my spare mag is tucked away in this holster instead of a pocket.
Siegfried A.
The wedge truly helps with this holster. I am
5'10 and 195 lbs. I use a size medium wedge
and adjusted ride height of the clips and the
claw. I am able to conceal my 4.25 in. M&P
with a full sized grip and 17rd magazine.
Stephen O.
Fantastic holster
Evan F.
Most comfortable holster I've tried, extremely secure, and I love the flexible connection between the main holster and the sidecar.
Had a little trouble putting it on and taking it off at first, but a few weeks of practice fixed that for me.
I hesitated to buy this holster because of the price and the long lead time, but now that I've been using this for my EDC (Glock 48), I'm a huge fan. I plan on buying a SIG P365 X-Macro soon, and will be buying another one for that gun.
Also, GREAT customer service. The original one I bought broke (cracked Kydex) due to an incident that was entirely my own fault. After sending Tier One some pictures of the cracks, I had an identical one arrive at my door within a week.
Joshua S.
I bought the Axis Elite for my Shield Gen. 1 9mm and was a little worried it would be too bulky. I am 5’9 155 pounds and have always struggled to keep a handgun concealed. After several different holster positions and configurations, the Axis Elite will be my go-to from now on. Materials and finishing are perfect and the fit gives you that kydex click.
I’ll definitely be buying more!
Juan C.
Great holster. Glad with my choice.
Dustin H.
I was super unsure about this holster. I’ve been through countless different brands and types. I went ahead and “bit the bullet” and bought the Axis Elite . The only thing that I did not like is the lead time. This is the most comfortable holster I have ever used it is smooth around all the edges, and very sturdy.I would buy the War Poet Axis Elite agin, the red and black design has not worn away or faded. I currently have the War Poet MR920 and the fit of the holster is perfect. PS: buy 1 or 2 extra shock cords just in case. My original is still fine after 5 months just is looking worn down.
jake T.
Great holster, and great pistol retention
The holsters are pricy but you definitely get what you pay for.
I will buy from here again
Humberto R.
This is my 3rd axis elite holster. I bought some for my sig and beretta and now for my staccato and they have never disappoint. Best holsters in the business!
Joe G.
I got an axis elite for my 4.25 prodigy with an x300 on it. Not only does this holster coneal my gun very well, the quality & craftsmanship are excellent. You get what you pay for. Sure there are cheaper options out there but will they last? Are they comfortable? Will they break? I have had other brands fail. Thank God it was during practice. Don't trust your life to cheap, low quality holsters. Isn't your life worth the price of a good holster? I am telling you these holsters are worth the money. I think they are worth more.
Joe G.
This is the second axis elite I have purchased. It is of the highest craftsmanship just like the first 1 got. Both are amazing holsters. They conceal a full size gun as if it were a subcompact. I firmly believe you get what you pay for. If you want a very high quality product at a good price then this is the holster for you. Also the customer service is wonderful. I was sent out the wrong color holster, they replaced it with the correct 1 & let me keep the 1st 1. You can't go wrong with purchasing any product from this company. Tier one makes the best holsters.
JOSE M.
Takes some getting used to. The right clothes make all the difference. Need some more for me other pew pews. I was a little skeptical at first bit I decided to bit the bullet. You guys make a great product. Stay free and carry.
Don N.
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.
Stuart H.
I have concealed carries for 15+ years and have pretty much always carried at the 4-5 position. I had tried carrying appendix a few times but I never could get it to work for me. I decided to give it another try, but this time spend the money and get a quality holster made specifically for appendix carry. After a lot of online research, I bought the Axis Elite for my P365 with TLR7-sub. I also ordered the T1C wedge kit to help with comfort and concealment. Upon first receiving the holster, I could immediately tell the quality of the holster was far superior to any other holster I had ever purchased. A few quick adjustments and I found my perfect comfort and concealment sweet spot. After wearing for a month, I realizing this holster was a complete game changer. Comfort was unreal. I could conceal so easy with just a thin t-shirt. I then decided to purchase another Axis Elite for my Glock 48 MOS with TLR-7sub. Once again I was not disappointed. That holster has been prefect also. I had never spend this much money on a holster and was hesitant at first; but after getting the first one, I did not even think twice before ordering another one.
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.
Jeremiah D.
Works great. Conceals well. When paired with the hunter Constantine belt very comfortable. In comparison to other types of belts you could pair this appendix carry setup with.
Coleman M.
Great holster for appendix carry. Long enough to where my Hellcat Pro barrel doesn’t stick into my leg while sitting. Bought a small wedge and large wedge for either side of the holster for cushion. Feels great and conceals great. Solid product.
Steven P.
From the moment I put it on extremely comfortable. Worth the money!
Vincent B.
Tier 1 holster has been the best holster I’ve had the quality of the holster is phenomenal feels good holds the weapon and accessories very well from now on Tier 1 is my go too.
Mike W.
VERY NICE HOLSTER‼️ I was a little skeptical about buying a holster/spare mag combo, thinking it would be too bulky, constraining and uncomfortable. But I decided to give it a shot based on all the great reviews. This is probably the best holster purchase I've ever made. Get one‼️
Gordon D.
Awesome holster, great service. It was everything I expected and they said. Very comfortable and easy access. Be buying others for my other toys.
Gerald A.
No complaints here... I've been a T1C fan for a few years now. Ended up getting a few holsters from a competitor but when I needed something with a mag carrier that would be comfortable, there was NO DOUBT that T1C would be the choice. Forgot how comfortable they were and how easy it is putting it on and taking it off. If you're on the fence about it...stop wasting time and get yourself one or two !!!
Everardo T.

This holster is like the cloak of invisibility for pistols plus its so comfortable you may almost forget your wearing it. The level of adjustability this holster provides is bar-none the best on the market. After two weeks of use I went out and bought a second one!
Jason R.
First holster that actually works like I would expect. Good retention, comfortable, and just all around perfect. Love them!
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
James H.
Absolutely love the holster. The mag pouch gets in the way when driving when I carry appendix so take it off and swap a clip and it's perfect most days, only issue I'd like to see in future design may be wider foam wedges. The ones on it are good for the most part but are just narrow enough to get into the muscle and push on nerves a bit haha. Overall very happy and wear/train w it every day. Going to use it for upcoming IDPA matches in the near future
Jacob B.
Everything I was hoping for and more! 10/10
Comfort, concealment, and quality.
Sebastian H.
Great product, super high quality, lot of options to customize it as well. I had to adjust mine to fit the way I wanted, I would recommend get wedges just to have the option. Overall super happy, I’ll be buying another one within the week
Anthony C.
Execellent equipment
Dalton M.
Fitment is really nice, conceals really well, and I love the Black Carbon with the red!
John P.

Guy I.

Moses D.
Great technology and even better customer care.
Jorge V.
Amazing holster..very comfortable and easy to conceal as promoted..love it’s skeleton structure..I recommend it..nothing against trex arms but T1…much better because of the cords ability to make it flexible to different body types
Darius K.
Great product. Very comfortable. This is the best holster system I’ve invested in this far.
Jason B.
Love this holster

Very Nice and confortable !!!

Everything I expected! Great product!

Super comfortable, worth the money

The good: The modularity of the stackable wing is great. The magazine carrier can also fit a SnakeStaff ETQ if you so choose which is convenient. The shock cord gives just enough flex to bend to your body and increase concealment a bit combined with the ridge on the magazine carrier. Drawing from the Axis Elite is also FAST. I ran a USPSA match with it and did quite well. However, I want to say that it's fast because the gun keels away from the body and doesn't conceal all that well, which I'll get to.
The bad: The gun has a few millimeters of play and slop left and right inside the holster. Tightening it does nothing but increase passive retention while the slop is still there. Concealment (on my 6 ft 220lb frame, at least) is average. Both my G34 and G19 want to keel outward. A wedge fixed it to a degree.
Overall: They're popular for a reason. I don't think someone is making the wrong choice buying an Axis Elite. It's just not for me. I expected more out of a $135 holster.
Bradley M.
Comfortable, forms to my body well and is light but holds everything well. 10/10 reccomend. Carry full size everyday with no problems and train with these holsters from conceal all the time
Ricardo M.
Love this holster! I can’t express it enough. I tried some patriotic “competitors” products and after my long wait, all I received was disappointment (which I promptly returned). With T1C, I’m extremely satisfied, they are not even in the same league as all the other holster companies. I can confidently say I will never buy from another company as long as they keep their superb quality, design and amazing customer experience. Couldn’t be happier with my Axis Elite and I can’t wait to buy more guns so I can buy more of their holsters!
Luckner L.
Top notch‼️
Jim K.
still awaiting my CCW approval but i wore it around the house and its honestly comfortable cant wait to use it for my edc!
Drew G.
Tier1 is always a dependable product. Comfortable and concealing fit every time.
Kason B.
I really love it, just a couple things are that I wish the back part of the holster that goes against the body was missing some of the sharper edges (not a big deal though). The other thing is that even with the clips adjusted, the holster angles the gun a little to close to the jewls which is a little spooky.
Brent S.
First T1c holster, best and most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Can easily carry my full size g17 with SL TLR 1 HL, and extended spare mag, all day every day with little to no discomfort. Will never buy another brand and will be buying more in the near future!
Bret P.
The very best I’ve ever worn. From morning until bed I wear the holster everywhere. Love it, love it. Love it. The craftsmanship is superior to all others I have worn. Thank you.
Luis A.
Great quality, and good customer service. Turn around time was pretty quick aswell!
Jeremy K.
Been using this for over a year and I love it. The wedge and the wing make the grip and extra mag disappear. Very comfortable when paired with a Kore belt that I can discreetly loosen when I sit down.
Aaron F.
Never buy................any other holster out there. I have to say I am very pleased. I wasn't going to buy it at first, just because of the price. I could justify spending that much on a holster but I'm glad I did. Hands down the best holster out on the market right now. It is very comfortable, sleek looking and well made. If your skeptical, don't be. It's worth every penny. I'm a customer for life.
Heath P.
Well worth the money
Scott B.
The axis elite has made carrying so much more comfortable. The stability it provides makes both a smaller and larger carry much easier.
Jc J.
I love the quality of this holster, it’s light and durable. Will definitely be purchasing more soon
Benjamin D.
It conceals real well and does the job! Damn, good product!
Ken M.
The Axis Elite I purchased from Tier 1 fit my Sig P365 X Macro like a glove. Even with the light attached the weapon just slides out slick as you please. I am seriously pleased with this purchase. I can highly recommend Tier 1.
Nicholas A.
I have 4 axis elite holsters: staccato p, Glock 19, hellcat pro, and Glock 48.
Great holster. Will buy again.
Brian M.
I love tier 1 holsters they are the most comfortable way too carry appendix. I have a bit of a gut so it’s not sheets easy to carry in that position, but Tier 1 holsters make it so much easier!!
Matthew O.
Best holster for appendix carry, no question.
Leo Q.
Most customized holster I know of. I forget i have it on. This is for my EDC. Allows you to draw fast, conceal well and be comfy? Can life get any better? I submit it can not.
Adrian J.
Bought the Axis Elite after trying many other options, with the hope of finally carrying more comfortable and without printing. I was not disappointed. This holster is very comfortable to carry and conceals very well. I am very happy I purchased this.
Raheem M.
I carry this setup as my off duty carry. I’ve tried multiple holsters from various companies. I’m not a small guy, and have a lil dad pudge in the mid-area. This is by far the most comfortable setup. I can't wait to get one for my G45!!
William L.
Excellent for my G48 with TLR7 sub and Griffin Armament micro comp. Have an older one for my 43X. The newer hardware is definitely an upgrade.
Julian K.
Great holster.Feels well balanced while wearing and conceals great.Took about 2 weeks to receive
Troy E.
Fantastic!!! Fits well, feels well
Mike P.
The most comfortable IWB concealed carry holster, even with a full size 1911. After trying a couple of others, I can argue that you really get what you pay for… good work isn't cheap, and cheap work isn’t good… this holster was definitely and absolutely worth every penny. Highly recommend.
Eric V.
I love my IWB holster! It's comfortable and conceallable.
Rashad C.
I’ve gone through multiple appendix carry holders and this one is the most comfortable one I’ve tried. I use this for work everyday, unless I need something with active retention and personally for EDC. Premium materials and build quality. You will not be disappointed.
Robert P.
Wear it daily, haven’t had any issues. Best and most comfortable holster I’ve owned to date!
Benjamin S.
The axis elite was a huge upgrade from my previous holster. The customization to be able to raise and lower the firearm from the belt line is nice and I love the extra space in my pockets now that my spare mag is tucked away in this holster instead of a pocket.
Siegfried A.
The wedge truly helps with this holster. I am
5'10 and 195 lbs. I use a size medium wedge
and adjusted ride height of the clips and the
claw. I am able to conceal my 4.25 in. M&P
with a full sized grip and 17rd magazine.
Stephen O.
Fantastic holster
Evan F.
Most comfortable holster I've tried, extremely secure, and I love the flexible connection between the main holster and the sidecar.
Had a little trouble putting it on and taking it off at first, but a few weeks of practice fixed that for me.
I hesitated to buy this holster because of the price and the long lead time, but now that I've been using this for my EDC (Glock 48), I'm a huge fan. I plan on buying a SIG P365 X-Macro soon, and will be buying another one for that gun.
Also, GREAT customer service. The original one I bought broke (cracked Kydex) due to an incident that was entirely my own fault. After sending Tier One some pictures of the cracks, I had an identical one arrive at my door within a week.
Joshua S.
I bought the Axis Elite for my Shield Gen. 1 9mm and was a little worried it would be too bulky. I am 5’9 155 pounds and have always struggled to keep a handgun concealed. After several different holster positions and configurations, the Axis Elite will be my go-to from now on. Materials and finishing are perfect and the fit gives you that kydex click.
I’ll definitely be buying more!
Juan C.
Great holster. Glad with my choice.
Dustin H.
I was super unsure about this holster. I’ve been through countless different brands and types. I went ahead and “bit the bullet” and bought the Axis Elite . The only thing that I did not like is the lead time. This is the most comfortable holster I have ever used it is smooth around all the edges, and very sturdy.I would buy the War Poet Axis Elite agin, the red and black design has not worn away or faded. I currently have the War Poet MR920 and the fit of the holster is perfect. PS: buy 1 or 2 extra shock cords just in case. My original is still fine after 5 months just is looking worn down.
jake T.
Great holster, and great pistol retention
The holsters are pricy but you definitely get what you pay for.
I will buy from here again
Humberto R.
This is my 3rd axis elite holster. I bought some for my sig and beretta and now for my staccato and they have never disappoint. Best holsters in the business!
Joe G.
I got an axis elite for my 4.25 prodigy with an x300 on it. Not only does this holster coneal my gun very well, the quality & craftsmanship are excellent. You get what you pay for. Sure there are cheaper options out there but will they last? Are they comfortable? Will they break? I have had other brands fail. Thank God it was during practice. Don't trust your life to cheap, low quality holsters. Isn't your life worth the price of a good holster? I am telling you these holsters are worth the money. I think they are worth more.
Joe G.
This is the second axis elite I have purchased. It is of the highest craftsmanship just like the first 1 got. Both are amazing holsters. They conceal a full size gun as if it were a subcompact. I firmly believe you get what you pay for. If you want a very high quality product at a good price then this is the holster for you. Also the customer service is wonderful. I was sent out the wrong color holster, they replaced it with the correct 1 & let me keep the 1st 1. You can't go wrong with purchasing any product from this company. Tier one makes the best holsters.
JOSE M.
Takes some getting used to. The right clothes make all the difference. Need some more for me other pew pews. I was a little skeptical at first bit I decided to bit the bullet. You guys make a great product. Stay free and carry.
Don N.
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.
Stuart H.
I have concealed carries for 15+ years and have pretty much always carried at the 4-5 position. I had tried carrying appendix a few times but I never could get it to work for me. I decided to give it another try, but this time spend the money and get a quality holster made specifically for appendix carry. After a lot of online research, I bought the Axis Elite for my P365 with TLR7-sub. I also ordered the T1C wedge kit to help with comfort and concealment. Upon first receiving the holster, I could immediately tell the quality of the holster was far superior to any other holster I had ever purchased. A few quick adjustments and I found my perfect comfort and concealment sweet spot. After wearing for a month, I realizing this holster was a complete game changer. Comfort was unreal. I could conceal so easy with just a thin t-shirt. I then decided to purchase another Axis Elite for my Glock 48 MOS with TLR-7sub. Once again I was not disappointed. That holster has been prefect also. I had never spend this much money on a holster and was hesitant at first; but after getting the first one, I did not even think twice before ordering another one.
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.
Jeremiah D.
Works great. Conceals well. When paired with the hunter Constantine belt very comfortable. In comparison to other types of belts you could pair this appendix carry setup with.
Coleman M.
Great holster for appendix carry. Long enough to where my Hellcat Pro barrel doesn’t stick into my leg while sitting. Bought a small wedge and large wedge for either side of the holster for cushion. Feels great and conceals great. Solid product.
Steven P.
From the moment I put it on extremely comfortable. Worth the money!
Vincent B.
Tier 1 holster has been the best holster I’ve had the quality of the holster is phenomenal feels good holds the weapon and accessories very well from now on Tier 1 is my go too.
Mike W.
VERY NICE HOLSTER‼️ I was a little skeptical about buying a holster/spare mag combo, thinking it would be too bulky, constraining and uncomfortable. But I decided to give it a shot based on all the great reviews. This is probably the best holster purchase I've ever made. Get one‼️
Gordon D.
Awesome holster, great service. It was everything I expected and they said. Very comfortable and easy access. Be buying others for my other toys.
Gerald A.
No complaints here... I've been a T1C fan for a few years now. Ended up getting a few holsters from a competitor but when I needed something with a mag carrier that would be comfortable, there was NO DOUBT that T1C would be the choice. Forgot how comfortable they were and how easy it is putting it on and taking it off. If you're on the fence about it...stop wasting time and get yourself one or two !!!
Everardo T.
Amazing
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.
