Attachment (Laser Light)

Any holster purchased from MTR Custom Leather, LLC with a light/laser attachment on the weapon, may automatically come with an enclosed sewn bottom even if you choose open. However, if you definitely want an enclosed bottom please choose enclosed end under “Holster End” option. MTR Custom Leather, LLC takes into consideration that over time leather as we all know will stretch. Therefore, the retention of the holster may decrease. Having a laser/light attachment on the weapon will increase the weight of the weapon causing a decrease in the retention of the holster faster, than a weapon without a laser/light attachment. MTR Custom Leather, LLC adds an enclosed sewn bottom to most holsters, to ensure a long term use of the holster at no extra cost to you. Some lasers and light attachments causes the holster to become “boxy” in shape, due to the attachment is under the trigger guard. Weapons without an attachment, is held into the holster by the retention of the trigger guard angle (“L” shape). MTR has figured this out in the many years of constructing leather holsters with laser attachments. We want the best functional and safe holster for you for your protection. If you do not see your laser/light/optic listed please call (336)879-2166 or email sales@mtrcustomleather.com to see if we have it.

RMR/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 Viridaian 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.

Color *

Check out our FAQ page for a chart of the color selection. Also, check out our gun belts for the 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.

Stitching *

Double stitching is a second line of stitching. This will aid is better retention and long term use of the holster.

Paddle Material

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. Keep in mind, that if you have a laser or light attachment, than the bottom of the holster may be enclosed (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 others leathers. Exotic leather is a dense material that helps resist moisture and scratch proof. Well worth every penny! Learn more about the function, texture and colors on our FAQ page. One of our most expensive leathers available is alligator, please call for prices and colors available.

8 reviews for Paddle Holster with Thumb Break (A-8A)

  1. Rated 4 out of 5

    Nathan Vires (verified owner) –

    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.

    Great product. Couldn’t be happier. I carry a Glock 30s with a TLR-8 tac light. Holster wears perfectly.

    Great fit and workmanship, like always! I’ve bought three other holsters from you guys (all of them outstanding) at the local gun-show over the past several years and it’s great to see you growing and succeeding!
