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 donning 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 Wraith 2 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!

This holster is my first custom and first leather holster. Being a left handed shooter limits the selection of leather holsters available especially for an FN. This holster exceeded all my expectations. It is obvious that only the highest quality leather is used. Overall it looks amazing, fits perfect and is more than comfortable enough to wear all day. I’ve worn it for about a week and have gotten numerous compliments on it. Every detail is fully finished all the way down to the stitching. the only reason for 4 our of 5 is wait time. which is expected with a custom holster as you can see in the final quality of the holster a lot of work went into it. Very good customer service, any question or concern I has was answered quickly and adequately by a human, not some automated email system. But all things considered, MTR has earned a customer for life. I won’t even look at another company. I’ve already given out all 5 business cards that were sent with the holster to people interested and where I got it.
