Love the quality and workmanship.

The xiphos elite is the first holster I have ever been able to appendix carry comfortably. It's paired with the L 1.5 wedge, and I forget I’m wearing it.

Conceals better for me than any other holster. Tried safari land incog, black arch, MIE productions etc. the other holsters were great quality, fit/finish etc but for my body type this concealed the best. I’m 6’ 175 lbs for reference. Would recommend to anyone
Noah G.
My absolute favorite aiwb holster of all time. If I’m carrying concealed, it’s in a Xiphos Elite.
MICHEL R.
This was a replacement for one that I had for over 6 years for my EDC The staff at Tier 1 are the best and did not hesitate to replace my old one at no cost to me.Tier 1 makes one of the best and most comfortable holsters on the market today, you won’t be disappointed
Chad V.
Great holster! Will definitely shop again!
Mason J.
The set up and holster is great. The gun I was using is not the best for concealed carry though. That’s about it.
Kyle H.
Best holster on the market.
Mary Ann S.
I ordered the Xiphos IWB holster for my Hellcat Pro. The gun fits perfectly and is very comfortable to wear. Thanks!
Ryan P.
The best IWB holster I’ve ever had. Tried three other more budget friendly brands and they were “ok” but each had their own issue. Finally paid for a Tier1 and love it! So comfortable and well built.
WILLIE N.
Very comfortable holster, great product!
David H.
Very comfortable and conceals wonderfully.
Francis A.
Fits great very easy to draw from,
Nicholas V.
Great holster. I got a gut so I’m a tough customer. It fits great, and has minimal discomfort.
Joe C.
Believe the hype, this is one of the best holster companies out there, absolutely the finest Kyle’s holster I’ve ever owned (that’s a bunch) and fantastic people to deal with. After 30+ years of strong side carry I’ve finally come over to the dark side of appendix. Xiphos Elite made the switch effortless. Easy to configure to your preference, solid retention while still maintaining a slick draw. In short, I wouldn’t change a thing. Outstanding value when you consider how well made it is for the price, great communications during the order fulfillment, holster shipped when they said it would at time of order. More of these to come for my other guns and will be purchasing other models to fill specific rolls as well. Quit looking, order a Tier1.
Preston B.
Great product. Daily carry holster.
Anna G.
purchased for my boyfriend, and could not have been a better experience! lead time was accurately posted on the website. amazing product, that my boyfriend loves!!
Justin H.
Once you understand the adjustability capabilities of this holster as far as placing the top belt clip and figuring out where the height fits you best it’s awesome. G17 size tlr-7hlx with an ACRO is a breeze to carry. Been using T1C for 2.5 years now, and they are awesome.
Michael S.
Not exactly what I hoped for. It's too bulky and has too much needless material which makes a it larger than it should be.
I believe that such an expensive product should come with some sort of a wedge to start with.
Caleb S.
This holster was everything I wanted and more. It hold the firearm exactly as it should. My old holster never stayed in the same place it always canted and slid around. This one stays exactly where you want it.
carnell h.
Wonder construction, worth the short wait for individualized production of product! -C
Matthew B.
For a small real estate waist and a Sig P365 X Macro Comp… this met my needs and works great!
Diego O.
Great holster but the competitors have a adjustable mechanism that helps get an angle when hooking with the belt. Nevertheless still my EDC.
Robert C.
I am never disappointed with Tier 1 Concealed Holsters. They are most comfortable holsters while never being concerned about printing with how close it stays to my body. Keep it coming!
Dylan O.
Great quality holster where you feel you gun snap in and is very secure. Sure, you can buy cheaper holsters, but it’s worth spending the extra money for such an important tool. Really great stuff.
Evan W.
Fits great and super comfortable
Marcelo S.
I was very optimistic and had serious expectations buying this holster, especially after reading so many positive reviews.
When I got it delivered I was impressed with the quality of the holster. You can tell there is a higher level of attention to detail. Great finishing! It is a beautiful holster!
I really wanted this holster to be good fit. This was the first time I tried appendix carry. However it did not work for me.
I am a smaller guy (145lbs, 5'3") so I could definitely see the bulge of the firearm even wearing larger shirts. And if I could see it then everyone could see it so there's no concealed carrying.
It was also more uncomfortable than any other carry position I had ever tried.
It could be the case that it's just not the best solution for smaller people to conceal carry.
Could be just me.
Joey M.
Awesome quality. The adjustability of the holster is almost too much. I took about a week of tweaking to get the perfect fit. I’m a pretty skinny guy, and don’t wear tight clothing, but not loose either. This holster makes my Glock 19 completely undetectable. I have asked people at the end of the day if they ever saw it printing, and so far no one even knew I was carrying. The retention of the holster has great adjustability too. You can get the perfect balance of secure, and smooth with this holster that I feel a lot of the competitors can’t do. Really the only negatives I have to say about it, and there aren’t any big ones is the red kydex leaves pink streaks on parts of the gun. They wipe off relatively easy, but still kind of annoying. I also wish the belt loops were metal. The plastic ones do the job just fine, but I’ve already got a few good scratches in the plastic. Still even with the small “issues”, I will 100% buy from Tier 1 again.
Mike R.
Fits great and very comfortable

**TLDR: Holster quality is great, but length is too long. Ordered for 3.6" barrel, and it fits my 4.25"**
First off T1C is a great company with high quality gear. I ordered a new holster for m&p 2.0 with 3.6" barrel. The holster was identical to the one I had for my 4.25" barrel. I reached out to their support and they let me known that the extra material was needed in order to have the correct amount of holes for mounting the clip adjustment.
If I had known that they were identical, I wouldn't have gotten another one, I would have just used the one I already had. I think advertising the holster as specific to the shorter barrel with it being the same length as the larger gun is misleading.
Bruce H.
Very comfortable to wear everyday !
Larrell M.
Love the Tier 1 holsters have 2 already and just order a 3rd one which completes my orders of the firearms I select to carry . Concealment is everything exactly what I’m looking for and these holsters do that . Glad they got the waiting time down .
Daniel B.
The quality of the holster is great, the only thing I don’t like is hour high the inner Kydex piece comes up. When I bend over, sometimes if sticks me
Daniel T.
Just a great holster. Feels great, easy to adjust retention, and looks cool!
Jose F.
Great product arrived quickly. Great customer service.
Antonio F.
Incredible holster. Extremely comfortable. I highly recommend it.
James N.
Very comfortable and stylish
Mario T.
Quality materials, super comfortable, great fit and concealment. I thought I would replace the plastic clips but they work for me. The only negative I have about Tier1 is their inexplicable decision not to offer a high sweatguard which in Florida is a must. It wasn't a deal breaker but why not give us that choice since we are paying premium for the holster.
Kyle G.
Very good fit and finish for my Walther PDP Pro SD. Great comfort, concealability and retention. Zero complaints
Carlos M.
If you’re thinking of getting it, get it.
Martin C.
Have a couple of your holsters, they are excellent and easy to wear it all day. Thank you
JD M.
I couldn’t be happier with this holster. Even being a bigger guy (6 foot/225 pounds) I hardly notice carrying it. Quality is great, the customer service is great. Do yourself a favor, stop overthinking it and just buy on!
Winston C.
As usual, T1C delivers flawlessly. Comfort, fit, and style are always top notch.
CRISTIAN F.
Just fell in love!! This holster is ... Perfection! 100 % recommended.. worth the price .. belive me, You are not going to regret
Russel S.
It's PERFECT for my EVERYDAY CARRY. Thank you guys.
GUSTAVO S.
I like ot. Very comfortable just wish I purchased one with a side car.
Shaun A.
Tier 1 quality never disappoints. Great design and function!
Christopher S.
This is by far the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. The retention is great and the fit is perfect. You will not be disappointed in your Tier One purchase!!
Ed M.
Ability to customize was great. Turn around time wasn’t too bad either. Great fit and comfortable to wear all day. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an AIWB holster.
wilson j.
Great holster, ive got many many tier 1’s and this is my favorite for the midsize cc handguns. Super comfortable! Best with a tenicore belt. Also great people working there, they have treated me and my family well despite some small issues in the past. They made it right! Highly recommend
Artur M.
At first use at 3-4 o’clock carry it was poking me in the side pretty hard. But once I removed the string and put the 2nd smaller piece of the holster over the larger piece it has been great. Been using it for about a month and it works well. A screw did come loose and fell off but they had included extra screws. I used some loctite when I replaced the screw and now it’s fine.
Antonio S.
Great product, fits my gun very well.
matthew v.
I’m getting used to it but I’m still getting a hotspot
Paul C.
It's hard to find holsters to fit the Walther PDP SF (steel frame) but Tier 1 has solved that with the XIPOS. I've had several Tier 1 holsters in the past and they've all been great so I did not hesitate to order one for my PDP SF. Fit and finish were top notch as always, but what was a pleasant surprise was both the level of comfort and concealabilty for this 40 oz firearm. With one exception my gun virtually disappears and that is as another reviewer stated, if you have and Aimpoint ACRO P2 mounted it is very hard to hide. It's like having a mailbox on your handgun! But, the XIPOS really does at least as good a job hiding the ACRO as any other holster and the benefits are the incredible comfort and how exceptionally well it hides the rest of my PDP. The WPS kydex looks fantastic, I get a lot of compliments on how amazing the whole package is.
James S.
My Beretta PX4 Storm fits well; the "click" makes it secure. The only issue was when adjusting the height, the claw had to be removed and I could not reinstall it. I use it without the claw and it works well.
Cody G.
I have never been more impressed with an inside the waist band holster in my life! I remember thinking to myself, “Dang another day, another empty mailbox…” I felt like it took forever for the holster to arrive but when it did, let me tell you buddy… I am a smaller guy (135 pounds size 30 waist) so it has always been super hard for me to find a holster that doesn’t show everyone that I am concealing… that was until now!! The wing on the side makes sure that the holster sits tight on my body and the holster rides high enough that I can easily sit down for longer periods of time without any discomfort. Not only that, but I am someone who likes to dress somewhat fashionably and find myself often wearing high waisted pants. Is that ever a problem… absolutely freaking not!!! This holster is everything that I could want for a holster and more. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these bad boys up and make sure you get the ulti-clips so that you can rock this bad boy without a belt for a more casual look in sweatpants if need be, or for pants with no belt loops at all!!
michael c.
Amazing holster
Slade U.
Very customizable! Feels comfortable and I am please with quality! Will be a repeat customer
Coy C.
Well built and fits perfect.
Jeffery B.
Looks and functions perfectly! High quality kydex holster.
Sam E.
I love the bungee cords on it! Super comfortable and the bungee cords help with it flexing with my body. I wasn’t very sure about the plastic clips but they are amazing and have no issues with them at all. Absolutely love this holster and totally recommend getting it if you have a full size as I carry a Springfield echelon.
Dillan W.
This holster is excellent. Very comfortable, keeps my gun hidden, and I’ll continue to use it
James R.
Fit is great and easy to conceal!
David C.
This is my second holster from Tier1 .I love the secure fit . It carries very well with a little flex when sitting, bending or reaching.
William K.
I love the holsters both are great and the most comfortable. I wish you guys did a holster for a Ruger LCR 38 special it’s my favorite gun probably because my dad carried a S&W 38 special chief model 36 that I also own but it’s to special for me to carry.
Thanks for the great products and god bless you all.
Frayant S.
Perfect for my Hellcat OSP
Jesus N.
It's nice and it's comfortable
David H.
This is hands down the best holster I've ever used for appendix carry; its comfort and concealment capabilities are unmatched. The design is both sleek and functional, with adjustable retention and ride height that cater to any user's needs. If you're looking for a holster that combines durability with daily wear comfort, 5 stars from me
Houston H.
Fantastic craftsmanship.
Glenn D.
Fits perfectly, comfortable. Sturdy clips.
Nathan G.
Amazing holster! Was a little worried going from a micro compact to fullsize for EDC but this holster is so comfortable, it's honestly more comfortable than my micro compact holster. Will definitely be buying Tier 1 from now on.
Ethan J.
Just as comfortable to wear as my non light bearing T1 holster. Too bad my light broke a week after it arrived XD.
Bao N.
1st holster I bought fr Tier 1 concealed. Very impressive, quality is top notch. Would love to get another holster for next EDC.
Mark C.
This was recommended to me by a couple friends, and I will only be getting T1C from now on!
Hartley A.
Love the holster guys, keep up the great work. Tier 1 Concealment is my go-to company for all my guns moving forward.
Thanks Again,
Dominic J.
Extremely comfortable and the position is perfectly customizable. I would buy it Ten times over.
Derick A.
I Always go to Tier 1 for holsters. Nothing better.
Michael S.
Love the holsters. I have the xyphos v2 and the elite versions. Both are great. I’m a little OCD so I tried so many different holsters and there’s no contest that the tier 1 is a cut above the rest. Their design just works and holds up. Been CC appendix with the xyphos elite for probably almost 2 years now ands it’s as good as the day I bought it.
Greg L.
I like it but am trying to find the best way of configuring it to best fit me.
Federico W.
First time carrying apendix and have to say, it's a whole different level. It takes a bit of time to get used to it. But I can now understand what the hype was when people talk about tier1.
Austin U.
Best on the market
Scott M.
Extremely happy with this holster. From the fit and the way it sits tight against your body you can't beat it.
Roddrick C.
I really love it. I just wish that I could add a shock cord mag carrier to the holster so it can be like the axis elite if I was to later choose that option.
MATT W.
Fits great and easy to conceal. Has great retention on the weapon.
Ryan C.
M&P carry comp polymer frame fora perfect in the carry comp metal frame holster. 10/10… I love tier 1 holsters, solid quality, great fit, and as comfortable as you’ll get carrying a larger gun.
Andrew s.
Not much to say. Works perfectly. Minimal print, good retention, made well. Customer service was great too.
Mario T.
Very impressed with my new Xiphos Elite holster for my M&P Shield Plus 3.1". The fit is perfect, retention solid, quality build, cool color, absolutely amazing concealment, comfortable. There is no tipping. Tier1 followed my requests and the holster looks great. Thank you.
Elliott H.
Great quality and customer service as always, but I don’t recommend this if you run an Acro P2 or similar enclosed optic. The leather wing that they added causes the optic to print pretty bad. I had to take the leather wing off and attach the clip directly to the kydex, similar to their original design. I wear it on and off duty around the clock and haven’t noticed a difference in comfort, which was supposed to be the advantage of adding the leather wing in the first place.
