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.

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

Thumb Break Strap

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.

SKU: A-8C Categories: , Tags: ,

The Exotic Professional Paddle (A-8C) is a variant of our very popular A-8 Paddle Holster model with enhanced design and fit.

 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!

– Can Be Worn In 3 Different Configurations: Straight Draw, Forward Cant, or 15o Reverse Cant

 – 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

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

****Main holster picture is Mahogany color with black tiger shark trim

    Very good. Hard to find great work these days. Very expensive but worth it to me.

  2. Ervin Miller
    Verified owner

    Excellent work, very good retention and overall craftsmanship.

  3. James Arndts
    Verified owner

    Didn’t think to order treatment for the leather. A small portion for initial application would have been nice. The holster is beautifully crafted. Fit the gun perfectly.

    Very nice quality holster, rides a little higher than some others that I’ve seen in the past, but it’s not a bad thing. Plastic paddle has a nice rubberized surface to help with retention
