That’s sucks! Sorry to hear that. I’ve always had good luck with Tier 1’s customer service but then again I’ve never had an issue with one of their holsters, only contacted them with questions. Thanks for sharing your experience. Can’t go wrong with Tenicor

I’m curious, what happened?

Yeah, I'm very curious to hear your experience as well.

Honestly, most holsters don’t cover the mag release. You might have a hard time finding one that does. None of the holsters I have reviewed Tier 1, Tenicor, JM custom, and Trex arms cover the mag release. Interesting observation though, thanks!

Thanks for sharing! Good insights

Thanks for sharing

So, I don’t notice a difference between the two designs. They work equally well for me but I do know some guys prefer the closed bottom for comfort reasons. I have never noticed a difference between them. If you have a comp or a threaded barrel then the open bottom would obviously be the best option. Sorry I don’t have more/better insights on that aspect

Thank you! Glad it helped

It covers the full width of the slide and even covers the sights some. Length wise, it covers almost all of the slide but about 1/8 of an inch is sticking above the sweat guard.

Thanks for sharing! Ya, DCC clips can definitely be a pain sometimes. I find them harder to manipulate from strong side, personally.

Not sure yet. I was thinking about it.

Thanks! I’ll have to check that one out

Sorry, can’t say for sure. I rotate my holsters, so I’m not sure. I haven’t noticed that it marks up my slide like my Tenicors do but I can’t make any promises

Thank you! Glad it helped

Thanks, glad it helped!

Thank you and thanks for the tip! I have seen those and wanted to try them out, but now I’m definitely going to get some 🤙

Nice, thanks for sharing! How do you like it? They seem pretty slick. How stable is it with just one Alias attachment?

@tommygun4059 I love it. It is very stable with one as a matter of fact more stable than the 2 belt clips in comes with.

@@05cesarleo Thanks! I’m going to have to try them out soon.

Nice!

Thanks for sharing and I agree! The Velo4 is a great holster.

I haven’t tried Alien Gear holsters but I know a lot of people love them. T1C makes great holsters! They are worth trying, for sure.

Thank you and yes that’s Tenicor’s Zero belt. The Kore Essentials belt is going to be stiffer than the Zero belt but I find the Zero belt is more comfortable and the buckle is super small on the Tenicor. If you like stiff belts, Tenicor just released their new Heavy Zero belt, it’s thicker and stiffer than the one I own but has the same small buckle. That might be a better option if you like stiffer gun belts.

@@tommygun4059 Thank you very much! That was really helpful!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

You are correct sir. I did but ended up putting the EZ-Adjust clips back on. I find the EZ-Adjust claw works better with the original clips. I really wish T1C would do a collaboration with DCC and have DCC make their EZ-Adjust clips for them.

Thanks for sharing 🤙 Great feedback!

Thanks for sharing 🤙 I love the DCC clips but they are definitely harder to get on and off. They also don’t provide as much ride-height adjustment as the EZ-Adjust clips from T1C.

Thank you for the kind words my friend! It’s been a fun journey and I’m excited to continue it. Thank you for all of your advice and help, it pays to have a friend in the industry, lol. I really appreciate the tips and tricks you have given me. Consistent training definitely helps highlight different features of a holster and how you perform with it.

Thank you and thanks for sharing your experience 🤙

Thanks for sharing! Ya, it’s hard to go wrong with the Certum3

Thank you and I’m glad you found it helpful. Hopefully you like it as much as I did. T1C also offers a Xiphos Elite model now.

Thanks for sharing! Ya, the hard wedge can create hot spots for some people. I think you’ll love the Certum3. It’s Tenicor’s most versatile design.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words

Thanks for sharing

Unfortunately, I don’t have any discount codes. Ya, Tenicor overpriced it, it was $60. With that being said, I would buy another one if I lost my current one, I love it that much! I haven’t tried their under belt yet but have seen good reviews about it.

@@tommygun4059 damn, I’d hope you would lie and say it sucks so they will drop it in price and not sell out. I had it in cart today and by the end of the day it sold out

Awesome! You should love it. I’m still loving mine. Let us know how you like it after a few weeks 🤙

The Shield Plus in this video but normally I carry a G48.

If you’re looking for your first holster and you’re NOT sure where on your body you want to carry, then I would definitely go with Tenicor’s Certum3. It’s the safest and most versatile option for people new to CC. If you want a mag. carrier attached, I would suggest the Axis Elite from Tier1. The Xiphos Elite won’t allow you to attach a mag carrier. Personally, I prefer them to be separate because it allows for more adjustment but some guys prefer the sidecar style because it helps balance out the weight. If you’ve never carried a gun inside-the-waistband before, the sidecar style holster (mag. carrier attached) may be too bulky. Carrying a gun takes time to get used to, from a comfort standpoint, and sidecar style holsters have large footprints. Hopefully this helps 🤙 Feel free to ask any more questions you may have and I will try and answer them.

@@tommygun4059 thanks for your time and suggestions. I appreciate it.

My favorite strong-side (3:30-5 o’clock) holster is Tenicor’s Certum3. It’s the most comfortable strong-side holster I’ve tried yet. I have several reviews that cover or include the Certum3, if you’re interested.

Thanks for sharing! Great feedback

Thank you! Glad it helped

Awesome, thanks for sharing! It’s hard to beat the Certum3, that’s for sure.

Thank you and thanks for sharing your experience. Great feedback!

@@tommygun4059 Thanks for the reply I did forget to mention one last thing, with both holsters I wear them between the 1 o’clock and 2 o’clock position that seems to be the very best spot for me, I have been wearing the Tier1 now for several hours it’s very comfortable it was worth the trouble, the other day I was wearing the Tenicor at an outdoor party none of my friends and family could tell I was wearing it, and all I was wearing was jeans and a lite black sweatshirt, so that made me feel good especially that most of them carry so when gun guys can’t spot it you know the holster is good.

@@Mike-cu6gk I carry the Elite at 1 o’clock as well and the Velo4 around 1:30-2. The Tenicors do a great job at concealing, for sure! I find the minimalistic footprint of the Tenicors make them easier to find the sweet spot for carrying. The Elite is worth the work though.

@@tommygun4059 Read this: Here in sunny FL it’s hot and humid 11 months out of the year, but for me being from NY it’s hot 12 months a year, so for 3 years now I find myself wearing shorts something that I’m not accustomed too wearing, now I try to wear shorts with a belt, but if I’m wearing basketball shorts I pocket carry a Ruger LCP Max in a pocket holster, so environment plays a role. A year ago I purchased a JX fat guy holster for this Glock and TLR-7, I thought it was the best ever made, one day we took a 4 hour road trip I was wearing jeans and pollo shirt, the holster was amazing, on the way back we stopped at a Walmart just to get out and stretch it was 12:30am a vehicle parks 50-60 yards away and 3 individuals get out and approach me and my gf, we are sitting on the tailgate of my pickup, they split and come from different sides, I tried to draw my weapon and it gets stuck in the holster won’t come out, told my girlfriend to get in the vehicle then I went to my drivers side rear and pulled out my shockwave from under the seat. The one guy saw the shotgun and took off running the rest realized something was about to go bad for them so they took off, and that’s how I ended up purchasing the Tenicor. NY teaches you to be very aware of your surroundings.

Thanks for sharing!

I found the zero belt was too flexible for strong side iwb carry with an all steel 1911 but fine for aiwb carry. Tenicor swapped it out for the heavy 2 layer belt and it's much better now

@toledoupsguy6064 I'm left-handed so strong side has the extra tail of the belt to provide a second layer of material for rigidity. Maybe reverse the belt so the tail is on your right will work for you. The buckle is so small it doesn't necessarily have to remain centered. Just a thought... hope it helps.

@@wjbailey7210 IMO if we have to try figuring out a way to make something work it doesn't work. The heavy vero belt does work and is still comfortable.

I find the wider wedges are more comfortable because the larger surface area helps to distribute the pressure better. If moisture control and airflow are more of a priority, you could try using two of the narrowest wedges, spread apart as far as they’ll go.

Awesome thank you!
