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.

My new holster for my Beretta Nana
Fit was perfect but the leather seemed a bit dry and thin. I treated it with some saddle soap and then some leather conditioner and it improved 100%. Great holster, now. Comfortable, too. It was a good deal but it took a long time to deliver my holster, but they told me that in advance. All around good service and I am happy with my holster. I recommend this company.

I have purchased two IWB of the MRR holster and they are great.
I have one for a S&W model 642 and 640 and a second one for a S&W 4" revolver. The holsters are really well made and retention to belt or pants are sturdy an hold your gun very close to your body leaving no print even with a t shirt. The finish is great and the leather is beautiful. Gunners Alley will definitely get my business for holsters in the future. I completely trust this company.

Great Product
I am always kind of cautious of purchasing a holster, especially if I can't take it for a "test drive". I was surfing the web for a holster for my Sig P229 and came across the Gunners Alley website and the description for this holster caught my attention. I decided to send an email and ask a question. Mind you this was on a early Sunday evening. The auto response said someone would respond within a couple of days. Imagine my surprise when in about ten minutes I had a response to my question in my inbox. Thanks Brad for your great response to my question. The holster fits my Sig great and it's just what I was looking for. Easy re-holstering and doesn't tear into me after wearing all day.

Great fit! Great feel!
I've been looking for a quality in the pant holster for my Sig p224 for awhile. On a whim, I ordered the MTR Custom Adversary, and have been exceedingly pleased. I've worn it for more than a week now, and LOVE it. Thank You

awesome buy
I went to gunners alley looking for iwb holster lefty for beretta compact..I use don Hume for my sig p228s. Since Don Hume does not make them for compacts,gunners suggested the mtm. It was a bit more $$ but wow is it worth it!! It fits the compact so tight that it literally snaps in! I'm working it in so I can draw easier..retention and reholstering in the best I've seen. My don hume holsters will be slowly replaced and future holsters will be these!! Also,I want to give shout out to the awesome staff at gunners alley..they are so very helpful and friendly and even take a Few minutes to just chat. You guys rock!
