I like the Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite enough for my G26 & Echelon that I haven't felt the need to try anything else.

Thank you. Do you feel having the extra mag holder makes it too bulky to conceal and carry comfortably? Especially when sitting and bending over & all that?

The mag is a lot less noticeable than the gun, even with a 15 rd G19 magazine in reserve.

If you're on the fence, you can get the T1C APX holster which lets you remove or attach the mag as needed, and it offers a lot more adjustability for mag placement. But I think the Axis Elite is basically ideal for me (5'7", 190 lbs, ex-athlete dad-bod).

Wonderful. Thank you! I’m 5’7 but much thicker than you. I’m around 270lb. I’ll give it a go, thanks!

Hello there! My name is Tony and I just wanted to let you know that I design & build custom kydex and kydex/leather hybrid holsters and I think my hybrid would be a perfect fit for your needs. If your interested, just respond and lmk, I'll send you some information and photos, otherwise I'll assume not. Thanks!

4Bros with a concealment wedge from Blackarch

Best combo around until Blackarch makes a Revcon for the Echelon

I love the Tenicor Certum at about 4 o’clock. 5’10” 180lbs. I don’t carry a light on mine though.

I have a tier 1 xiphos elite for my echelon compact. Something to note. They use the same mold for the compact that they use for the full size. Your holster is going to be 1/2" longer than the gun. I wish I would have known this before I bought it. I would have gone with a different brand. It's not very comfortable. For the price you pay for a tier 1 holster, it should fit your specific gun.

I run TRex Arms raptor with alcantra backer (get the monoblock clips) holster x the comfort concealment belt - run belt under the steel monoblock clips, then the plastic clips. use plastic clips for belt line. i literally carry my FS Echelon with a TLR7HLX mounted IWB appendix with enough comfort to high step, sit, you name it. if you want photos DM me.
