January 24, 2018 by MTR Custom Leather in Uncategorized with 1 Comment

DESCRIPTION:

The S.O.B. Defense Holster is your new and modern small of the back carry holster. This holster is very compact and is angled for a fast draw in times of emergency. This holster is meant to be worn in the small of the back outside of the pants palm in. The S.O.B. Defense holster has a reinforced leather mouth to help retain the holster opening for easy re-holstering.

The S.O.B. Defense holster comes with a retention screw underneath the trigger guard, and when needed it can be tightened up for a tighter retention for your holster. As you can see, this holster is hand-boned to the weapon of choice. The purpose of hand-boning is to show off the fine detail of the weapon on the holster, and most importantly to give a glove-tight fit when inserting your weapon. The main focus when making this holster was safety, gun retention, and comfort. The belt slots can fit up to 1-1/2 gun belt (2 layers 1-1/4 thick) or 1-3/4 regular belt (1 layer web belt).

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

The pictures shown above are a right handed holster. The handle of the weapon should be facing towards your shooting hand. The barrel of your weapon should be facing away from your shooting hand. (Refer to picture 1). Keep in mind the holster is meant to be drawn palm in. Meaning the palm of your hand will be facing your body when drawing. On the S.O.B. defense holster, there are 2 belt slots to run your belt through. (Refer to picture 2).

How to change your A-2 Dual Purpose (Carry) holster from IWB to OWB?

 Front IWB View                                    Front View OWB View                                            Back View   

This holster gives you the best of both worlds by offering an inside the waistband (IWB) holster that converts to outside the waistband (OWB) by easily taking off our USA powder coated holster clips. When removed they reveal our molded belts slots for our famous close riding pancake. This holster has become one of our top sellers due to the versatility of having both IWB and OWB capabilities. It’s best to leave the hardware on, once the clips are off. This will help cover the stud that’s embedded into the leather and also prevent you from losing the hardware.

All of our A-2 holster has a custom combat cut for each weapon, this will aid in a faster draw of the weapon. You will also notice that we use heavy duty nylon industrial strength thread to endure great stress on the holster for long term. Don’t forget to checkout our professional slick edges. We use two pieces of leather to construct the holster’s foundation. With our profession slicking technique we conform the two edges into one single slick edge.

Each A-2 is molded specifically to each weapon of choice to sustain a great glove fit retention and detail in the holster. We only use the finest bull hide and hardware on this holster to ensure the longevity and durable wear for years to come. We reinforce the mouth for easy one handed re-holstering and to prevent collapsing while carrying IWB.

This holster by far is a great wearing holster both OWB and IWB. The A-2 is tuckable, so you can tuck your shirt behind the metal clips. The holster clips/belt slots can fit up to 1-1/2 gun belt(2 layer) or 1-3/4 regular belt (1 layer). If you do a loose tuck than the shirt can come back over the metal clips to conceal them.

You can also upgrade to the NEW UltiClips3 to give you better concealment of the clips. Adding the ulticlips will give you the adjustability to position your clips for the perfect draw. Whether it be ride height or adjusting the cant of the holster. With the ulticlips you do not have to wear a belt. You can easily clamp the clips straight onto the pants or any material. Keep in mind if you are going to wear a belt, it will aid in better retention of the holster. Make sure it’s a good stiff heavy gun belt like our GB-1 gun belt.

MTR Custom Leather Shoulder Rig Instructions – 


About:

MTR Custom Leather shoulder rigs not only profound in concealment, function and comfort, they also accommodate changes in the user’s carrying routine. You can purchase individual horizontal or vertical shoulder holsters only to accommodate different handguns. A second holster of your choice can be added to the same shoulder rig to create a OO7 rig. All shoulder rigs comes with one holster, one double ammo pouch and ties for each.

 

Assembly:

  1. Verify contents of bag. Each shoulder rig should include: one holster, one double ammo pouch with tie downs on each.
  2. Check fit of your gun and ammo pouch, then break-in as needed. Please follow the instructions on the back of your thank you letter for a guide to break in your leather goods.

 

Tie-Downs:

Tie-downs are designed to anchor the shoulder rig components to your gun belt. Tie-downs are optional items and are used as a matter of personal preference. You can take on the attached tie downs by easily un-snapping the directional military snap (Refer to small instruction sheet on how to work the military directional snap).

  • Tie-downs to connect ammo pouch to gun belt
  • Tie-downs to connect holster to gun belt
  • Tie-downs allows for the harness to stay in place when in movement.

 

Instructions:

  1. Put your empty shoulder rig on like you would a coat or, some prefer to put it on over there head like a t-shirt. The flexible swivel base plate located on the back of the shoulder rig with 4 screws should be centered between your shoulders blades below the base of the neck. Make sure that the natural color side of the shoulder rig is against the body and the smooth color side is facing the outside. This will allow friction and stability of the shoulder rig on your clothing. Also, sweating or body oils will not affect the natural backing. It will actually allow for a more comfortable feeling.
  2. Insert the unloaded handgun and magazine/speed loaders in there pouch.
  3. Adjust the ride height and cant position of the holster and ammo pouch to the most concealable and comfortable fit for your body type. This adjusting process of the shoulder rig is critical; spend the time to get the correct correct fit. A rig that is set up in a hurried fashion results in a sloppy fit and compromised function. Many users find it easier to have another person adjust the shoulder rig for them while they remain stationary. This can be done by adjusting the screws on the each strap of the rig. Adjusting the the holster and ammo pouch consist of 2 straps each. To angle the rig, one strap may be higher than the other strap.
  4. Once it’s fitted correctly, remove shoulder rig carefully, trying to not alter the adjustments.
  5. Secure all hardware in place. Ensure that all screws are tighten snugly. Applying a small amount of clear fingernail polish to the threads will minimize screw back-out.
  6. Put shoulder rig back on and recheck all adjustments.
  7. When you are absolutely certain of all adjustments you may trim off excess leather straps length. Please consider the following:
  1. It often may require wearing the shoulder rig for several days before fine tuning is complete.
  2. Before permanently shortening the rig, keep in mind future use with seasonal clothing, body armor, weight fluctuations, etc.

MTR Custom Leather IWB Holsters

June 21, 2017 by MTR Custom Leather in Uncategorized with No Comments

The A-3 and A-3A Adversary’s are great holsters. They are very small and compact holsters. You can easily take the holsters on and off very easy with only having one clip attachment. Once these holsters are broken into, the leather will soften up a little and the hoslter will conform to the position that you wear the holsters at on the waistband.

 

The Dual Carry is great choice for target shooting and conceal carry. This holster can go IWB or OWB. This holster is very slim in width and molds nicely against the body.

 

The Slimline IWB holster is similar to the Dual Carry holster in size. The main different is that the Slimline is only IWB carry.

 

The Sentinel is again similar in size of the Dual Carry and Slimline. The sentinel can go IWB or OWB. The OWB part is attached by a plastic paddle. This is easy on and off. You can adjust the clips-leather loops for the perfect ride height or cant. The holster is hand-bone for better retention of the weapon.

 

The Thoroughbred Holster is the largest out of the four of them. You can adjust the ride height and cant of the holster. The width (thickness) of this holster is the thinnest of all. The holster is thin, so it can mold againt the body very fast for comfort. The size of the holster helps to spread out the weight of the weapon.

 

The Deluxe Thoroughbred holster is our NEWEST IWB holster. This holster can be adjusted for ride height and cant. The backing of the holster is supported with a very comfortable memory foam like material to compress against the body when wearing. All of the hardware will be covered by the padding and the suede backing. The holster is hand-bone for better retention of the weapon. The size is a little longer in length than the dual carry and slimline and thicker duer to the comfortable padding.

 

****All of the holsters cover the triggar guard and has a reinforced mouth piece for better re-holstering. There is also a sweat shield on all of the holster to help keep the weapon from touching the body and the body from touching the weapon. Each holster is custom made specfically to the weapon and attachment.

 

**All USA materials and crafted in NC
