MTR Custom Cross Draw Holster
There are certain situations where a cross draw holster may be the best option for carry, and MTR Custom has designed their Cross Draw holster to fulfill that need.
A major challenge in designing an effective cross draw holster focuses on the draw angle. Make the angle too shallow on the belt and gun will barely stay in. Make the cant angle too deep the other way and the handgun becomes more difficult to draw. After testing a series of angles, coupled with user feedback, MTR has come up with what they feel is the “optimal” draw angle for a cross draw rig.
This model offers a body shield to help protect the user from the sharper edges of the weapon along with a reinforced holster mouth for easy one handed reholstering.
The holster mounts to the belt using 2 belt slots designed for a belt up to 1 ¾” wide and features a belt channel for added stability. The MTR Cross Draw is manufactured from top grade 6 to 7 ounce bull hide leather with all the materials coming from the USA. The finishing touch on this model is a boned in finish to ensure a secure and snug fit for the weapon.
Often cross draw holster are often called driving holsters as they are very popular in situations where a significant amount of time is spent behind the wheel of a vehicle. If you are in the market for a high quality cross draw holster, have a look at the MTR model.
Some frequently asked questions about this holster model:
#1 - Do you what angle this holster rides at?
To be honest, I don't as I don't think MTR ever specifically identified a numerical angle (like the 15 degree forward cant) for this holster. I think they based the angle on testing, customer feedback, and 3rd party evaluations. The end result may not have a specific angle (or negative angle) associated with it, but it works extremely well just the same.
#2 - Will MTR do any other belt loop sizes other than 1 3/4"? I really prefer mine to be 1.5"?
Understood, but not at this time. It could be a possiblity later on.
#3 - It looks as though this holster is "boned"? is that right?
Yes, most all the MTR models have a certain degree of boning. If you aren't familiar, the term "boning" refers to the process of using a tool to outline specific parts of the pistol into the leather. It gets it's name as early holster makers used tools made out of bone to make these impressions in the leather. It does seem to make for a better overall fit as compared to a non-boned model.

MTR Custom Cross Draw Holster Does the Job
I purchased this to carry my "snake gun" (a S&W 617 4") around my property to deal with the copperheads that tend to frequent it. The holster carries the gun at an excellent angle for comfort and access, if I'm walking my dog, riding my ATV, lawnmower, or tractor. It retains the gun effectively while walking or climbing on and off the vehicles, and while I got it with the thumb break strap, I'm not sure it was really necessary. I would/will buy another should I decide to carry a different gun. The only thing I would urge MTR to do is offer a 1.5" belt loop option. The 1.75" works "alright" with my 1.5" belt, I like to fit my holsters to my belt size when possible.
