Aker Leather 576 MK-6 Mace Case - Duty OC Holder

Overview of the Aker Leather MK VI Mace Case | 576

Keep your OC canister exactly where you need it every second of your shift. The Aker Leather 576 MK VI Mace Case is a purpose-built, open-top leather holder engineered specifically for MK VI duty canisters. Whether you are a patrol officer doing a vehicle stop or a corrections officer moving through a housing unit, a loose or unsecured canister costs you critical seconds.

The open-top design with a retaining strap keeps your canister seated and accessible, while the snap-on belt loop fits duty belts up to 2-1/4 inches wide for a rock-solid, rattle-free fit.

Available in two finishes and three hardware options, the Aker 576 integrates cleanly into virtually any duty belt configuration.

Specifications

Compatibility

The Aker Leather 576 is sized and shaped for MK VI duty OC canister formats, including those made by Defense Technology (Def-Tec) and similar manufacturers that produce canister bodies in the MK VI form factor. It is not designed for larger canister sizes such as MK-9 or MK-46, and it will not properly retain smaller canisters in the MK-3 or MK-4 range.

The snap-on belt loop fits standard duty belts up to 2-1/4 inches wide, which covers virtually all Sam Browne and garrison-style duty belts in common law enforcement and corrections use. It will not fit on wider patrol or tactical belts that exceed this measurement.

If you are building a matched leather belt rig, the 576 is available in both Basketweave and Plain finishes with Black, Chrome, or Brass hardware so you can align it precisely with your holster, handcuff case, and other accessories.

Intended Users

The Aker Leather 576 MK VI Mace Case is built for working professionals who carry OC spray as part of a uniform duty rig.

Law enforcement officers on patrol rely on it to keep their OC canister secured against their belt through high-movement situations, from foot pursuits to ground-level control holds. The open-top design means your canister is ready with a single upward pull, not buried under a flap.

Corrections officers working in jails and detention facilities benefit from the holder's low-profile design and positive snap retention, which prevents the canister from being grabbed or dislodged during inmate contact.

Security professionals who carry OC spray as part of a formal uniform setup will appreciate the clean, polished leather appearance that polymer and nylon alternatives cannot match in formal or customer-facing environments.

Public safety dispatchers, constables, bailiffs, and probation officers who maintain a traditional leather duty belt for court appearances or field work will also find the 576 fits naturally alongside other Aker leather accessories.
