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!
Paddle Holster with Thumb Break (A-8A) is a variant of our very popular A-8 Paddle Holster model with enhanced design, fit and added Thumb Break.
– Can Be Worn In 3 Different Configurations: Straight Draw, Forward Cant, or 15o Reverse Cant
– 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
– Reinforced Mouth For Easy Re-holstering
– 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

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.

There is additional $15.00 charge for change in pattern of holster. No refunds or exchanges on custom items (like this holster).

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.

I love these holsters. I have about a half dozen now. I wish they would make one for the HK 45 Tactical

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!

This is the most beautiful piece of art I have in my house and I collect art from all over the world and my wife who was not a huge fan of me ordering such a nice holster now can’t stop looking at it and agrees that it is just a beautiful piece of art. It perfectly fits my custom Walther CCP M2 Viridian and the Magazine holder is just as beautiful. I asked them to put my initial on it and I am glad I did because the first thing my wife said is that she can’t wait for the day we pass these on to our children, and them on to their children. That’s what type of craftsmanship MTR has brought and I am SO glad I chose to go with them for my holster and magazine. I know I will be buying more items from them in the very very near future! Sincerely, Jacob N (TX)

being left handed some times it’s hard to find a quality holster,add to that using a EDC that has been out of production for a long time ,makes it really hard to find a quality holster. I’ve had my holster from MTR costume leather now for a week, comfort to wear, use right of box,and looks are a 10 in my book.

I’ve known Matt for a long time and finally had a chance to use his services. Knowing him I gave him full creative license with my holster and it came out absolutely stunning. I couldn’t be happier with it. Extremely comfortable and I barely even notice its there. Definitely will be buying another when I purchase another gun.
