Threaded Barrel/Red Dot Sight/Aftermarket Sights

**What is a red dot sight? Type of non-magnifying reflector (or reflex) sight for firearms, and other devices that require aiming, that gives the user an aimpoint in the form of an illuminated red dot.
**FAQ: If your Gun Make & Model option has the weapon and RMR together (ie: Sig Sauer P320 Full Size RX) please choose NO, so you do not get charged twice for the same attachment.
**Please type the Red Dot that you below
**If you have any aftermarket sights (night sights, suppressor sights, big dot sights) higher sights than normal, than please choose “YES” and specify your make and model
**Please keep in mind that once the order is received, the manufactures will check over the order to make sure all the options that you choose will function properly when manufacturing. Some options may not work properly when manufactured. This is something that we may not know until the holster is being built.

Grip Laser

If your laser is a grip laser and mounted on the grip of the weapon than please choose “YES” and specify your make and model of your laser.

ECR Instant On Viridian Lasers

Enhanced Combat Readiness (ECR) now part of every universal Viridian laser. This can only be used with the Viridian C Series, X Series Gen 2 and Gen 3, and Reactor Series are equipped with INSTANT-ON technology and activate. Please see FAQ page and our BLOG page for more info. Will not work on E-series.

Shooting Hand * 

Color * 

Stitching Color * 

Wanna spice up your holster a little, or have a different holster than anyone else? Make the holster unique and custom by adding some color stitching to the front of the holster only. Each color is made with heavy duty nylon thread, to resist easy tearing or dry rot damage. Keep in mind that colored thread may affect the color of the holster, the holster could be lighter or darker because its a different dying processing and so the dye will not run onto the thread.

Stitching * 

Double stitching is a second line of stitching. This will aid in better retention and long term use of the holster. (extra $15.99)

Paddle Material

On large DA (double action) weapons the thumb break is placed decocked. Smaller SA/DA (single action/double action) weapons the thumb break is placed cocked and locked. If you would like your thumb break placed differently, then please add that in the comment section. If you order a holster with a thumb break there is no returns or exchanges or refunds under any condition.

Holster End

The holster end means that the barrel of your weapon will be cover, but you have the option to having the holster end sewn at the bottom or leaving it open. This is a preference of choice. Leaving the holster end open is good for target shooting. This will allow for debris to exit the barrel of the weapon after shooting a lot. Flip side, if carry the weapon in a pouch or outdoors (riding a horse, bike, hunting, etc.), one may want to enclose the bottom. So debris will not enter the barrel of the weapon. (Please see FAQ page for more information).

Internal Liner

When we craft a holster we use the smooth bull hide leather on the outside and the ruffer portion on the inside. When someone adds a liner we add a second layer of thinner bullhide leather and use the smooth side inside the holster with the two ruff sides against each other. This process is to enable is a smooth drawing of the weapon, instead of suede having some friction when drawing. Secondly, suede tends to not mold as easy on the inside as the bullhide, enabling less retention. The bullhide leather molds with great detail and definition in the leather. The bullhide leather is not as thick as the suede causing better concealment of the holster when wearing.

Exotic Leather

Choosing exotic leather will increase the strength and durability of the holster. The exotic leathers listed below is some of the strongest leathers available! The texture is much more defined than the other leathers. Exotic leather is a dense material that helps resist moisture and scratch proof. Well worth every penny! Learn more about the function, texture, trim vs full and colors on our FAQ & BLOG page. One of our most expensive leathers available is alligator, please email for prices and colors available.

The paddle holster got its name because there is a paddle-shaped concave piece between the rest of the holster and the wearer’s body. The paddle allows quick drawing and removal of the holster and handgun while providing excellent concealment.

MTR offers many different styles of paddle gun holsters. Choose from holsters with a neutral cant or a butt-forward cant — whichever makes it easier for you to draw and holster your firearm. Some of our paddle holsters can accommodate guns with different barrel lengths built on the same frame, or are available in left or right hand designs.

Not sure if you want a paddle holster or a regular belt holster? Products such as the Low-Riding (Swam) Holster Belt/Paddle Holster give you an easy way to alternate between both styles with its interchangeable belt slot and paddle attachments.

MTR provides plenty of options when it comes to paddle holsters, so choose the style you like best, enter your gun’s manufacturer and model, and place your order today!

The A-8 Paddle Holster was designed for those seeking an easier on/off outside the waistband holster.

– Can Be Worn In 3 Different Configurations: Straight Draw, Forward Cant (10-15 degree), or Reverse Cant (10-15 degree)

– Full Sweat Shield  To Help Protect You From The Sharp Edges Of The Gun As Well As Protecting Your Weapon From Body Oils and Sweat

– Full Barrel Coverage That Conceals The Entire Barrel

– Can Be Worn With or Without A Belt, Which Is Ideal For Women That Do Not Wear Belts

– Easy On/Off Capability

– Gun Specific

 

**Not recommended for heavy weapons or with lights, lasers or optics. The retention may not be as good as a holster with 2 attachments onto the belt to draw the weapon in tighter to the body. The holster may want to lean forward. Check out a holster with 2 attachments to the belt for closer ride and better concealment.

***Keep in mind this is a plastic paddle not leather. The back of the paddle is super smooth and contours to the body well.

NOTE: DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR GEAR IS ADJUSTABLE THREAD LOCKER IS NOT APPLIED DURING THE PRODUCTION PHASE. PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR GEAR HOWEVER YOU AND YOUR APPLICATION DESIRE AND APPLY A BLUE THREAD LOCKER TO YOUR HARDWARE. LOST HARDWARE WILL BE REPLACED AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE.

  1. Jeff Freeman –

    Recently ordered 2 of these , 1 for my wife’s lcp with crimson trace laser and 1 for my m & p shield with crimson trace laser . Both were received in less time than the lady actually told me and they both fit perfectly !! We love these holsters as they are the most comfortable I have found !! Will buy from these folks again !!!!! Thank you so much for your help !!!

  2. gary (verified owner) –

    Most comfortable paddle I’ve worn. Quality is first class, with gun holstering and drawing easily but with enough retention to prevent mishaps. Bit pricey, but quality isn’t cheap. Will buy again.

  3. Samuel Shahan (verified owner) –

    Very nice fit. Excellent quality!

  4. Michael Harrell (verified owner) –

    This is a high quality, well made holster. The fit is very snug and requires a little breaking in.

  5. Antique Firearms NSW –

    So great to discover another person with genuine thoughts on this issue. Seriously.. Thank you for starting this up. This web site is one thing that’s needed on the internet, someone with a little originality!

  6. Kel-Tec Rifles –

    Can I just say what a relief to discover somebody that actually understands what they’re discussing on the web. You actually realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people ought to look at this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you surely have the gift.

    Outstanding workmanship. Reasonable price.

  11. David K. (verified owner) –

    I was looking for a OWB leather paddle holster for my new Kimber EVO 9mm when I stumbled across MTR. Since the EVO was a new model for Kimber I was having a hard time finding anything on the market. I ordered the paddle holster from MTR and crossed my fingers, hoping for a quality product that actually fit my new weapon. I wasn’t disappointed. This is a beautifully crafted holster that’s fits my pistol like a glove. I can’t speak for its long term condition, but I am a journeyman craftsman myself and judging from what I can see this holster will be with me for many years to come. Well done, MTR!

  12. Aaron D. (verified owner) –

    The product came in excellent condition, fits the gun great. I haven’t had a chance to wear it very much but seems pretty comfortable from the little bit I have worn it

  16. GREG (verified owner) –

    Just what I was hoping to get. Very well made. MTR is about the only ones that make a decent paddle holster. Gun fits very snug but not too tight for a draw. Rides high like I wanted. Good for left or right side. Very good service and ordering was made easy on the phone. Thank you for a quality holster.

  17. Jeff D. (verified owner) –

    Excellent quality! Well-constructed! Fits my S&W model 60 like a custom-made glove! Size is perfect. I’ve spent more more money over the years on store-bought holsters that were never really much good & never properly fit my revolver. MTR was the answer! I’ve told my pals down at my club about you folks. They’ll become customers for sure! Keep up the fine work, MTR!👍👍

  18. Michael May (verified owner) –

    Great product! This is the second one I’ve purchased and very pleased with the overall workmanship and functionality. I suspect they will last a long time. Thanks for producing such fine products right here in the USA!

    New gun belt and paddle holster. Both excellent quality, as was customer service when I made several inquiries. Delivery was even ahead of anticipated wait time.

  25. Anthony R. (verified owner) –

    Another great holster from MTR. The front serrations on my Ruger 57 make it a little tough to draw quickly, but I’m sure it’ll wear smooth in time. Maybe I’ll get the liner on the next one…

  26. Michael C. (verified owner) –

    It’s the nicest holster I have.

  27. Craig B. (verified owner) –

    Holster looks and works better than I expected. I’ve carried my GP-100 in it just once now but the fit and function was perfect. Easy to adjust. Glad I spent the extra money for a good leather holster vs. a cheap plastic one.

  51. Brian Pottebaum (verified owner) –

    I have purchased 6 holsters over the last 10 years from MTR and they all still work and look great. 3 of the 6 holsters are concealed carry holsters that are worn every day with zero problems over the years. I highly recommend their products. I also am the owner of Belmont Firearms and Range so I am always looking at holsters.
