Crafted in the USA using premium suede-lined, full grain leather, the Blue Line™ Duty Holster (Model 118) is built for durability and trusted performance. Originally developed for a major federal agency, it has served as standard issue for the California Highway Patrol for over 25 years, earning its place as the flagship of the Aker duty holster line.

A heavy-duty leather overlay reinforces key wear points, while the form-molded body provides a secure fit for a wide range of service weapons. The Level I retention system combines a thumb break strap with a solid brass tension screw at the trigger guard, allowing officers to set their preferred draw resistance.

A full-length SightStrip™ sight channel protects front sights from drag or abrasion during holstering. The design also accommodates most red dot optics, such as Trijicon and Leupold models.

The Model 118 attaches securely to 2.25-inch duty belts using a drop-loop hanger reinforced with internal steel. This model is compatible with popular service pistols from Glock, Smith & Wesson, SIG Sauer, and others.
