Product Description
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.
Common FAQS
Here are some commonly asked questions that we see regarding the Adversary holster:
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.
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:

Is this holster made for a handgun with a light mounted on it?
MTR Custom offers this holster in configurations to fit many handguns with most mainstream weapon lights attached. By mainstream, we mean mainstream or popular brands of pistol lights such as Surefire, Olight, Streamlight, etc. MTR can fit most all the light models offered by these three brands, along with a few other less known brands.
Is this holster made for a pistol with a laser attached?
MTR offers this holster in versions to fit most all the mainstream laser brands like Armalaser, Crimson Trace, Laserlyte, LaserMax, and Viridian. To add a laser to your holster, during the ordering process you'll need to choose the specific laser model from the "Lights & Lasers" dropdown menu. Your holster will then be manufactured to fit the handgun and laser selected on the order.
I have a red dot sight on my pistol, can this holster accept a red dot?
As this holster model is semi-customizable, you can order it in a configuration to fit a red dot or RMR. To do that, you will need to choose the "ADD RMR/Red Dot Cutaway" option during the ordering process. MTR Custom will then craft a slot into the holster to accommodate the red dot or RMR when the pistol is holstered.

Outstanding Holster!
Craftsmanship and quality is top notch. Fit is perfect. Very pleased with this fine leather holster. Thank you for making such a great product! The double stitching and liner were worth the extra cost. Definately got my moneys worth.

Exactly meets my needs
Excellent plus quality and design. I really like the way the holster sits on my belt. I hardly feel my Glock 36 on my hip. Order turn around time was 7 weeks plus shipping time.

Outstanding custom holster!
I own many IWB holsters. This one is the best. It holds my LCRx .327 federal perfectly. I have been testing this custom holster for a reasonable amount of time and I couldn't be happier with it. I also had it double stitched. And why not, this baby is a keeper. Customer service is outstanding and the price is reasonable.

#4 for me.
For AIWB carry, this is one of the best going--fit, looks, quality, price. I have a fairly large pistol for one and it is truly comfortable in this style. If you are considering AIWB, I think you'll really like this one. Plus, I got it in less than 3 weeks.

Great holster, holds the revolver nice and tight, totally hides the firearm.
Well built and great leather. Love MTR.

Perfect design, excellent quality.
I've been cycling through several IWB holsters for a Beretta Tomcat This little gem has a bit of a minimalist look to it but it fits so well and is so sturdy. It really is well made. The mag holster is equally well made. I bought a second.

Great holster at a good price.
This holster was everything I expected. The service from Gunners Alley was excellent. I would not hesitate to order anything from them.

The Best
Have 5 MTR custom holsters and recommend them highly. For craftsmanship and quality they have no competition.

Very well made
Excellent holster, fit was perfect after I worked in the leather. I had ordered holsters from other companies (Ruger LC9s with centerfire lasermax) and from other holsters manufacturers I always ended up tweaking. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Well worth the money and waiting time. I have already ordered another holster for a different weapon.
