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.

Sig P227 - Perfect Fit!
I have tried many holsters for my P227 carry model and wasn't satisfied with any of them. They were either uncomfortable to wear, difficult to put on/take off, or the pistol didn't fit well. That all changed when I got this holster! After following the provided instructions for break-in, this fits my Sig like a glove. I prefer leather holsters and this one is top notch. It is very comfortable to wear all day, plus it's a breeze to put on/take off. The only thing I would like to see is an adjustable cant, but I knew when ordering it was not adjustable.

Super service

Fits LCRX 3 very well
I'm very pleased with this holster. Fits my Ruger 38 like a glove: smooth draw right out of the bag. Got it with the thumb strap, which holds the pistol securely but snaps out of the way easily.

Wow, what a great holster!!
I ordered this MTR iwb clip on with body shield for my ruger LC 380 with the laser max on it. I was told 3 to 4 weeks and it arrived in 13 days, that was fast. It came with a really snug fit, so I did the wrap in a plastic bag thing and it loosened up just right. This holster is a well made, perfect fit an a beautiful piece of hand crafted work of art. I was so impressed I put in an order for my new Sig 238 with Crimson Trace laser, and I am still in the CA 10 day waiting period. It is kind of hard to find a holster for these laser fitted guns. Gunners Alley was excellent in their handling of my order, and although a bit pricey, for a holster, the service and quality shows that quality may cost a bit more, it will be worth it in the long run. This holster will not end up in the "holster" drawer with the rest of the "not quite right" Once again, thanks for the superb holsterand great service, well worth the price :)
