Tenicor continues to innovate with their new SAGAX LUX AIWB Holster.
Looking at the body of the SAGAX LUX Holster, you can see that it is a bit bigger than Tenicor’s other holsters. That’s because it features their universal light fit which accommodates most compact weapon lights (Streamlight TLR7, Surefire XC1-B, XC2, Inforce APLc), but doesn’t rely on the light for retention. You’ll also note the high ride shirt guard, designed to allow for an unencumbered thumbs up grip. Yet, there’s still room for a red dot sight.
You can also see there’s plenty of adjustment thanks to the vertical adjustment slots on the T1 clip. The shape of the T1 clip also locks into your belt so when you draw, you get pistol and not holster.
The Holster comes with three interchangeable camming bars to fine tune concealment. When cinched by the belt, it rotates the grip into the body to keep the gun hidden.
Tenicor has worked hard on their body contour feature, developing a new, more complex shape for the SAGAX LUX.
The original body contour shape is seen at the far right of this photo on Tenicor’s non-light bearing AIWB VELO Holster. The new wedge design was created for positioning the gun for all day comfort. It turned out so well, they decided to incorporate it in the VELO design as well.
Above, you can see the original shape used in the VELO compared to the new shape which was adapted from the SAGAX LUX.

Should have named that the Beluga.
I own a few holsters from Tenicor, hands down the most comfortable holsters I own, the new aiwb sagax lux cuts down printing and is such a reduced footprint when compared to my other WML holsters, there is literally no excuse to not carry a light on my gun at this point, the sagax lux is easier to conceal then some of my other non-WML holsters. The retention clips that they use are pretty unique as well. The owner seems to be a standup, detail oriented guy who legitimately enjoys his work.
No X300 U version? Hard pass.
You’re carrying an X300 IWB?
SSD, it is pretty easy to do with a holster like the Gotham 2 from Bawidamann, that I how I carry my P10c with an x300u.
Why? With all the tools available to us, why use a full-size light on a compact gun?
Because it is a 1000 lumen light with a good switch layout that works when I need it?
Have you done any fighting or grappling with full size WMLs while concealed? Or any simmuntions work inside 10 yards? The holsters end up having such a large footprint that you end up trying to contort your body around the holster during limb entanglement and the holster ends up working against you, specifically with retention drills/ground fighting. These holsters maintain a small footprint that works with your body not against it, I think the whole emphasis from them is concealment/mobility , not smashing a full size light into a holster which then impairs your ability to access or fight with the holster on.
