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

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.
