KT AKELA Holster (OWB only / No Weapon Light) is a single sheet holster design. This gives you a minimalist and lightweight holster. This holster features the KT Universal bolt pattern which allows you to use Blackhawk, Blade-Tech, G-Code RTI Hangers, and Safariland belt attachments. Dual adjustment screws allow you to independently adjust the muzzle and frame retention strength.
NOTICE on “off-label” holster orders: “Off-label” holsters are holsters ordered for one handgun model or weapon light model but are intended to be used for a different handgun model or weapon light model. For example, if you order a holster for a Glock 17 but you are planning to use the holster for a Shadow Systems DR920 handgun. Although the DR920 and G17 look similar, they may not fit in the same holster. The holster ordered is an “off-label,” therefore we can’t guarantee a good fit. This also applies to weapon light models if you have a different weapon light model from what the holster is built for, or if you order a weapon light compatible holster but you’re not using a weapon light. The holster will not be 100% refundable as stated on the Terms on this website. If you have questions, please contact us before placing an order.
Terms & Purchase Agreement: Your purchase of goods and/or services is subject to the Terms stated on this website linked at the botton of this page. |
Modifications (MODS):
We can accommodate most peculiar and/or aftermarket features. Some features may not be compatible and some parts require extra work and would incur a modification fee, such as Compensator housing*, Red Dot Sights or Optics (RDS) housing**, etc. Please email us pictures of both side of your handgun setup before placing an order if you would like us to check for you. contact@kt-mech.com
In most cases, we can build any of our holsters with clearance for high sights, ext mag rel, ext slide stop, threaded barrel, and/or a red dot sight (optics cut) at no extra charge. Just add a comment with your holster order and email us pictures of your handgun setup (both sides) after you place your order. contact@kt-mech.com
*Compensators can be accommodated in the holster as long as the compensator is the same width/height or lesser than your slide’s profile; otherwise, the compensator will act like an anchor in the holster.
**The RDS housing is available for compact and low mounted RDS setups. Some RDS setups might be too large or too tall. We ask for picture of the actual handgun, not from the internet, so that we can check and make an accurate determination.

OPTION GUIDE:
OWB Quick Clamp 2.25 standard belt - The Quick Clamp is a locking clamp design so you don’t have to undo your belt. The standard belt option will allow up to a 2.25in wide belt with standard thickness (i.e. nylon or leather). The Quick Clamp has one adjustable block to adjust for width and a fixed block that will clamp down on the belt to minimize movement.

Mircofiber Suede Liner Service: |
| |
|
The Microfiber Suede Liner Service will add a liner to your holster. With having the ultra premium Microfiber Suede as an inside liner, this will help minimize wear on your handgun’s finish. The liner will take the majority of the wear instead of your handgun’s finish.
The option for an outside wrap is also available. With the outside wrap option, the liner will be applied to the outside of your holster. With the KT AKELA and Mk360 Wild Weasel holsters, the wrap will cover the whole outside of the holster. With the KT Gunfighter and KT Defender holster, the wrap will be applied to the front face or out facing side of the holster.
This service is available for new holster builds only. We apply the liner using our proprietary bonding process during production, so this cannot be added to existing holsters. |
