Model 34: OC where your support hand can find it
OC gets deployed with one hand while the other is busy with a subject. The Model 34’s open top means that hand finds the canister and draws it — no flap, no snap, no looking down.
Why it earns belt space
- Open-top access. The draw is a straight pull — nothing to unfasten under stress.
- SafariLaminate body. The same duty laminate Safariland builds holsters from: rigid, weatherproof, and shaped to hold its canister at the ready.
- Two mounting configurations. Belt-loop version rides a 2.25″ duty belt; the no-loop version bolts into the 6004/6005 tactical system.
- Uniform-matched finishes. STX Plain, STX Basket Weave, and STX Tactical.
Who runs it
Patrol and corrections officers carrying duty OC who need a one-hand draw while the other hand stays on the subject.

Common questions
Which canisters fit?
Safariland sizes the Model 34 for Defense Technology’s Instantaneous Blast duty canisters — measure your agency’s issue canister against that spec before ordering.
Belt loop or no loop?
Belt loop for the duty belt; no-loop bolts to the 6004/6005 shroud system instead.
Will the canister fall out running?
The laminate is molded to grip the canister body — open-top duty holders of this pattern are standard patrol issue.
