The Aker Leather FlatSider XR13 (Aker part no. H168ABPR-HK40) is molded for the HK USP40 compact and is a strapless version of Aker’s original 168 FlatSider XR12 off-duty leather holster. Aker developed the XR13 to be the open-top, quick-draw option for shooters who don’t want a retention strap slowing the presentation. It’s used by federal agencies and law enforcement departments who don’t require retention straps, and that same speed and simplicity has made it a favorite among concealed carriers and gun enthusiasts as well.
