Safariland Model 34 Open Top Mace®/OC Holder MK-9

Overview of the Safariland Model 34 Open Top OC/Mace Holder

Built for the Moment You Need It Most

When a situation escalates, fumbling with your gear is not an option. The Safariland Model 34 Open Top OC/Mace Holder (MPN 34-4-13) keeps your Defense Technology Instantaneous Blast canister seated firmly on your belt and ready for an immediate, one-handed draw.

SafariLaminate construction gives this holder its structural integrity and resistance to the daily wear of active duty. The open-top design removes every obstacle between you and your OC agent, so you can deploy without delay.

Key advantages at a glance:

• Fits standard 2.25" (58 mm) duty belts used across law enforcement agencies nationwide
• Compatible with the Safariland 6004/6005 tactical leg system for thigh-mounted carry
• Available in three finish options: STX Tactical, STX Plain, and STX Basket Weave
• Ambidextrous design works for right- and left-hand carry

Law enforcement officers, corrections staff, and personal protection professionals trust this holder to deliver consistent, no-snag access every shift.

Key Features

• Material: SafariLaminate -- a durable, hardshell thermoplastic laminate used across Safariland's professional duty gear line
• Open-Top Design: No flap, no snap, no delay -- the canister is always accessible for an instant draw
• Belt Compatibility: Sized for 2.25" (58 mm) duty belts, the industry-standard width for law enforcement Sam Browne rigs
• Tactical System Integration: Mounts directly into the Safariland 6004 and 6005 tactical leg platforms for thigh carry
• Ambidextrous Construction: Suitable for right- or left-side carry without modification
• Finish Options: Three finish variants -- STX Tactical (matte black), STX Plain (smooth black), and STX Basket Weave (traditional uniform texture) -- to match department-issued gear
• Belt Loop Attachment: The 34-4-13, 34-4-41, and 34-4-48 variants include a standard belt loop; the 34-4-23 variant ships without a belt loop for use with alternate attachment hardware
• Country of Origin: Manufactured in Mexico
• Secure Retention: The molded body cradles the canister snugly to prevent bounce or loss during foot pursuits or physical encounters

Specifications

Compatibility

The Model 34 is purpose-built to hold Defense Technology's Instantaneous Blast grenade/MK-9 OC spray canister and is a direct fit for that canister profile. The molded body accommodates the oversize cylindrical form factor of the Def Tech Instantaneous Blast, which is larger than standard MK-3 or MK-4 stream canisters.

Belt compatibility: Designed for 2.25" (58 mm) duty belts -- the standard width used on Sam Browne rigs by law enforcement, corrections, and security professionals across the U.S.

Tactical leg system: All variants are compatible with the Safariland 6004 and 6005 thigh-mount platforms, allowing you to shift the holder from your belt to a tactical leg rig without replacing the pouch itself.

Attachment variants:

• Belt Loop included: MPN 34-4-13 (STX Tactical), 34-4-41 (STX Plain), 34-4-48 (STX Basket Weave)
• No Belt Loop: MPN 34-4-23 (STX Tactical) -- intended for use with the Safariland 744BL belt clip or 6004/6005 leg shroud

Not designed for: Standard MK-3 or MK-4 stream canister profiles, 2" or narrower dress belts, or non-Def-Tech canister formats that differ significantly in diameter or height.

Intended Users

The Safariland Model 34 is engineered for professionals who carry OC spray as part of their daily duty loadout.

Law enforcement officers across patrol, corrections, and special operations rely on this holder to keep their Def Tech Instantaneous Blast canister ready for immediate deployment during crowd control, cell extractions, or individual use-of-force encounters.

Corrections officers and detention staff who work in facilities that issue Defense Technology Instantaneous Blast grenades will find this holder a natural fit for both belt carry and thigh-mount configurations.

Security professionals and personal protection agents who require a professional-grade, secure carry solution for oversize OC canisters benefit from the holder's compact profile and reliable retention.

Tactical and SWAT personnel transitioning from a Sam Browne belt to a tactical leg platform can mount this same holder on the 6004/6005 system without swapping gear.
