We’ve added a Thumb Break to our Slim-Line Deluxe Belt Slide Holster. Slim line meaning we cut off every inch of unnecessary leather for weight and comfort. This gives you a truly tailored holster to each gun. The bigger the gun you have, the bigger the holster. This holster is intended for OWB carry. The leather belt slots can fit up to 1-1/2 gunbelt (2 layer) or 1-3/4 regular belt (1 layer). The B-1B Slim-Line Deluxe Pancake Belt Slide with Thumb Break Holster is equipped with heavy duty nylon stitching to help reduce any tearing or dry rotting of the stitches. This holster is hand molded to each weapon of choice to insure a nice tight glove fit. You will not have to worry about your weapon coming out.
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 and call 336-879-2166 or email sales@mtrcustomleather.com. There is additional $15.00 charge for change in pattern of holster. No refunds or exchanges on custom items (like this holster).
NOTE: Holsters will vary in shape and size depending on each weapon.

I have been in Law Enforcement for 39 years and seen many different brands of holsters. Your holster immediately proved to be a quality item. I needed a holster to match my firearm with a Veridian light/lazer and your holster did that perfectly. My family examined your holster and have decided that their next holster will be from MTR. I must write that your staff took my call and answered each and every question. I told the young lady that I had already purchased a holster that turned out to be very substandard, from a different company. She told me that MTR would provide a quality holster and she was absolutely spot on. I recommend your holsters without reservation.

Great work and prefect fit, would of been a 5 but they didn’t leave to bottom open like I requested so not all my 1911’s will fit the holster

Thumb break is really tight and it takes great effort to snap and unsnap it. I’m hoping this is due to a new custom holster and over a short period of time the snap process will loosen up a bit.

MTR Custom Leather holsters/leather products are manufactured from only the premium materials and our technique molding is very accurate to specific firearms. When you receive your leather product from MTR it may appear to fit close-fitting at first, but this by design. MTR engineer our product to fit snug knowing that the leather filaments will relax and give to the proper fit with use.
UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM before testing holster fit.
If your Holster has a thumb break/ retention strap: You may need to stretch the retention strap before you get it to snap. With your fingers only (no tools, water, chemicals, or etc.). You may need to break in the holster first by using the 6 simple steps above.
1. Place your UNLOADED firearm in the holster.
2. Hold the firearm grip in your dominant hand and the thumb break strap/retention strap in the opposite hand.
3. Prepare the strap for stretching by grasping the snap and pulling the strap firm (remove the slack).
4. Twist the strap about 90 degrees back and forth in a clockwise and counterclockwise rotation about 10-15 times while keeping it firm.
5. Firmly push the firearm away from you while pulling on the strap and continue rotating the strap.
6. Release the tension for a moment and repeat 3-4 times as needed.
7. Pull the strap over the back of the firearm without releasing tension.
8. While maintaining the strong tension attempt to snap the retention strap closed.
9. Repeat step 5 and 6 as needed.
Following and repeating the above instructions is the only way to an ideal break –in and long service life and proper fit that will last many years.
It is common for the inside of the leather to scratch from a single holstering, that’s known as etching. A smooth leather lined holster will be even more subject to this normal occurrence. After this initial etching, the holster will custom fit your firearm.

Asked for end of holster to be open to accommodate a threaded barrel, end sewn shut so it will not accommodate threaded barrel.
MTR Custom Leather (store manager) –
We greatly appreciate you and your interest in MTR Custom Leather! I would be more than happy to answer your question(s). First of all thank you for coming to us for your next leather product.
Any holster purchased from MTR Custom Leather with a laser /light attachment, may automatically come with an sewn enclosed bottom. Due to, overtime after wearing the holster the retention may decrease, the leather will eventually stretch. Having an attachment on the weapon will increase the weight of the weapon causing decrease in the retention faster than a weapon without the attachment. Therefore, MTR Custom Leather adds an enclosed bottom to most laser/light to enable a long term use of their product for no extra charge for you. We believe that having the sewn enclosed bottom on the holster, will cause the holster to function better and be more safe for you!
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know. If you may need further assist you are also more than welcomed to give us a call at (336) 879-2166.
This statement is noted under the option, “Holster End” 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).

I ordered this holster with horse hide, double stitching, closed bottom, fantastic construction and craftsmanship. This is my third MTR holster. MTR is now the only holster I will consider for purchase. I own numerous holsters from other companies and MTR is by far, the best.
Steven S. (verified owner) –
Excellent quality holster that fits like a glove. Have ordered MTR holsters before, but went the extra distance on this one with double stitching, lined, and thumb break for my S&W revolver. Wait time was lengthy, but I understand that handmade quality takes time. Without a doubt, my favorite holster I’ve ever owned to date and will definitely be a future customer!

Absolutely fantastic product. I purchased two of these for two different guns, and they are both a perfect fit. Thank you!
