NEW Shoulder Rig Instructions

September 28, 2017 by MTR Custom Leather in Holster/Magazine Break-In, New MTR Updates, Shoulder Rig Review with No Comments


About:

MTR Custom Leather shoulder rigs not only profound in concealment, function and comfort, they also accommodate changes in the user’s carrying routine. You can purchase individual horizontal or vertical shoulder holsters only to accommodate different handguns. A second holster of your choice can be added to the same shoulder rig to create a OO7 rig. All shoulder rigs comes with one holster, one double ammo pouch and ties for each.

 

Assembly:

  1. Verify contents of bag. Each shoulder rig should include: one holster, one double ammo pouch with tie downs on each.
  2. Check fit of your gun and ammo pouch, then break-in as needed. Please follow the instructions on the back of your thank you letter for a guide to break in your leather goods.

 

Tie-Downs:

Tie-downs are designed to anchor the shoulder rig components to your gun belt. Tie-downs are optional items and are used as a matter of personal preference. You can take on the attached tie downs by easily un-snapping the directional military snap (Refer to small instruction sheet on how to work the military directional snap).

  • Tie-downs to connect ammo pouch to gun belt
  • Tie-downs to connect holster to gun belt
  • Tie-downs allows for the harness to stay in place when in movement.

 

Instructions:

  1. Put your empty shoulder rig on like you would a coat or, some prefer to put it on over there head like a t-shirt. The flexible swivel base plate located on the back of the shoulder rig with 4 screws should be centered between your shoulders blades below the base of the neck. Make sure that the natural color side of the shoulder rig is against the body and the smooth color side is facing the outside. This will allow friction and stability of the shoulder rig on your clothing. Also, sweating or body oils will not affect the natural backing. It will actually allow for a more comfortable feeling.
  2. Insert the unloaded handgun and magazine/speed loaders in there pouch.
  3. Adjust the ride height and cant position of the holster and ammo pouch to the most concealable and comfortable fit for your body type. This adjusting process of the shoulder rig is critical; spend the time to get the correct correct fit. A rig that is set up in a hurried fashion results in a sloppy fit and compromised function. Many users find it easier to have another person adjust the shoulder rig for them while they remain stationary. This can be done by adjusting the screws on the each strap of the rig. Adjusting the the holster and ammo pouch consist of 2 straps each. To angle the rig, one strap may be higher than the other strap.
  4. Once it’s fitted correctly, remove shoulder rig carefully, trying to not alter the adjustments.
  5. Secure all hardware in place. Ensure that all screws are tighten snugly. Applying a small amount of clear fingernail polish to the threads will minimize screw back-out.
  6. Put shoulder rig back on and recheck all adjustments.
  7. When you are absolutely certain of all adjustments you may trim off excess leather straps length. Please consider the following:
  1. It often may require wearing the shoulder rig for several days before fine tuning is complete.
  2. Before permanently shortening the rig, keep in mind future use with seasonal clothing, body armor, weight fluctuations, etc.

Henry Repeating Arms Has A Production Problem ,,, Maybe

September 20, 2017 by MTR Custom Leather in Weapon News, Weapon Reviews with No Comments

Wisconsin –-(Ammoland.com)- I repeat MAYBE…

“We have a production problem,” words the guns manufacturing industry does not want to hear. Management sees the bottom line slipping. The production staff sees headaches in parts manufacturing and the assembling of final products. The sales department sees the loss of products going out to customers and worst yet the loss of income coming in.

No one is happy when you hear the words “we have a production problem.”

MTR Custom Leather IWB Holsters

June 21, 2017 by MTR Custom Leather in About Us, Conceal Carry News, Holster Reviews, Weapon Reviews with No Comments

The A-3 and A-3A Adversary’s are great holsters. They are very small and compact holsters. You can easily take the holsters on and off very easy with only having one clip attachment. Once these holsters are broken into, the leather will soften up a little and the hoslter will conform to the position that you wear the holsters at on the waistband.

 

The Dual Carry is great choice for target shooting and conceal carry. This holster can go IWB or OWB. This holster is very slim in width and molds nicely against the body.

 

The Slimline IWB holster is similar to the Dual Carry holster in size. The main different is that the Slimline is only IWB carry.

 

The Sentinel is again similar in size of the Dual Carry and Slimline. The sentinel can go IWB or OWB. The OWB part is attached by a plastic paddle. This is easy on and off. You can adjust the clips-leather loops for the perfect ride height or cant. The holster is hand-bone for better retention of the weapon.

 

The Thoroughbred Holster is the largest out of the four of them. You can adjust the ride height and cant of the holster. The width (thickness) of this holster is the thinnest of all. The holster is thin, so it can mold againt the body very fast for comfort. The size of the holster helps to spread out the weight of the weapon.

 

The Deluxe Thoroughbred holster is our NEWEST IWB holster. This holster can be adjusted for ride height and cant. The backing of the holster is supported with a very comfortable memory foam like material to compress against the body when wearing. All of the hardware will be covered by the padding and the suede backing. The holster is hand-bone for better retention of the weapon. The size is a little longer in length than the dual carry and slimline and thicker duer to the comfortable padding.

 

****All of the holsters cover the triggar guard and has a reinforced mouth piece for better re-holstering. There is also a sweat shield on all of the holster to help keep the weapon from touching the body and the body from touching the weapon. Each holster is custom made specfically to the weapon and attachment.

 

**All USA materials and crafted in NC

When you draw, it’s on

 

Threat can arise in an instant. You can react just as fast. The split-second you draw, Viridian’s Enhanced Combat Readiness system ignites the brilliant green laser and/or taclight — targeting, blinding, intimidating in one reflex-fast move. Suddenly you’ve got the advantage.

With Enhanced Combat Readiness (ECR) now part of every universal Viridian laser, you can achieve inhumanly fast response to crisis. Just pre-set the Viridian laser/taclight mode, slide your gun into your TacLoc holster, and the ECR system is armed and ready. The instant gun leaves holster, the laser fires a brilliant beam that cuts through daylight or darkness as fast as you can draw.

With virtually unlimited laser and/or taclight modes and the breakthrough ECR system, Viridian has elevated combat readiness to a whole new level. Draw-and-activate is obsolete. Partner up with ECR and get the drop on evil.

The Viridian C Series, X Series (excluding RS), and REACTOR Series are equipped with ECR technology and activate when drawn from our MTR Custom Leather holsters.

Please use the following guidelines to determine if your current Viridian laser sight is equipped with ECR technology:
