MTR Custom Adversary Clip-On IWB Holster With a Bodyshield
The MTR Custom Adversary is a clip-on inside the waistband (IWB) holster with a reinforced body shield. The idea for the Adversary surfaced when MTR decided to produce a clip-on IWB with all the customer requested features that MTR liked but minus the things they didn’t. The result is the Adversary holster and it's one of our top sellers.
Produced from Grade-A 6 to 7 ounce premium bull hide in the USA, the Adversary is designed to worn on the strongside in the 3 O’clock position, just behind the hip, or with appendix carry. The holster attaches to the belt using a black powder coated metal clip that will fit any belt up to 1 ¾” wide.
Made with a 0 cant (riding straight up and down), the Adversary also features a reinforced body shield. Many competitors use an un-reinforced body shield, but Matt from MTR prefers the reinforced model as it won’t collapse over time. The body shield is a favorite for many who carry a handgun under a base layer or up against bare skin.
The Adversary rides deep in the waistband for excellent concealment, while still allowing for a full firing grip during the draw. While the Adversary doesn't come specifically with a reinforced holster mouth, the rigidity of the the bullhide does a good job of keeping the holster mouth open, allowing for easier reholstering.
The Adversary is a great choice if you’re looking for a comfortable IWB that can be worn all day.
Here are some commonly asked questions that we see regarding the Adversary holster:
#1- I see this holster is advertised as having a bodyshield, but I'm not quite sure that that means?
The bodyshield is basically a piece of leather that is built into the holster that rides up between the edge of the holster and the wearer. It's really designed to protect the wearer from the sharp edges of the handgun or revolver.
#2 - I also that this holster has an optional thumb break, but I'm confused as to what a "thumb break" is? Can you please explain? Also, do I need one of these "thumb breaks" to keep the weapon in the holster?
A thumb break (also commonly called a retention strap, safety strap, or thumb strap) is a strip of leather that is built into the holster, and designed to help retain the handgun or revolver in the holster. The thumb break fits over the pistol/revolver and is engaged or disengaged using a one directional safety snap. A picture would help so here's one showing the Adversary with a thumb break:

Better than I thought it would be

MTR crossover/ driving holster
I have purchased 5-6 leather holsters in past from various companies. This is my 1st MTR holster and immediately my favorite. Not overly canted. Quality leather, well stitched, perfect fit as very snug but without needing plastic bag break in. Thumb break perfect in every way. Turn around time 6 weeks as advertised. American made folks!
