Description

The Dara Level 2 Duty Holster is designed for law enforcement, military personnel, armed security professionals, and civilian shooters requiring active retention. Our Level 2 Holster combines active hood retention with adjustable passive retention. The firearm remains secured until the hood release is intentionally activated by the user. Unlike other "Retention OWB holsters" that merely add a third party rotating hood, our level 2 holster integrates advanced retention features and durable construction, designed in house and backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Dara’s Level 2 Duty Holster, precision-crafted from the ground up to meet the rigorous demands of law enforcement and military professionals.

Key Features

Durable Construction
Built from .125" Kydex or Boltaron, purpose-blended polymer injection molded components and assembled with Black Oxide coated stainless steel hardware, this holster ensures unbeatable strength and longevity in any environment- guaranteed.
Retention System
Customize the draw stroke to your preference with the passive EPDM rubber retention, the active retention hood locks firmly in place until you activate the thumb lever—enabling a quick, smooth release. To customize the thumb lever, see our Level 2 Control Kit.
Optics & Sight Compatibility
Our holsters are designed to accommodate most slide-mounted optics and suppressor-height sights, ensuring versatility for various duty or tactical setups. The REGULAR HOOD can accommodate optics up to 1.2" tall when measured from the top of the slide to the top of the optic. Anything taller, will require the LARGE HOOD. If your optic measures in between, we recommend sizing up. For the Trijicon SRO and RMR HD, please check the box for deeper optic cut.
Customizable Drop & Cant
Adjust the ride height and cant angles on our belt attachments for optimal comfort and draw efficiency. Add an optional leg strap for extra stability, especially during high-intensity operations. Our DBL2 & DBL2-L Attachments allow for a 10° forward and 10° backwards cant angle adjustment.
Attachment Options
Choose from our numerous belt attachments and drops, including the DBL2 or DBL2-L Attachment Systems. Both options provide clearance for body armor and a natural draw stroke, making this level 2 holster ideal for professional use. All attachments accommodate belt widths measuring 1.5" - 2.25".
Third Party Compatibility
For those running attachment systems from other companies, The Bridge™ Adapter allows the user to connect our Holsters to most third party belt attachments.
Made in the USA
Every Duty Holster is meticulously crafted in our North Carolina facility. Our advanced manufacturing process guarantees a precise fit for your specific make and model.

Important Note
Please specify your exact firearm details to avoid fitment issues. All Duty Holsters are non-refundable, reflecting our commitment to tailor each order perfectly to your requirements.

What Is a Level 2 Retention Holster?

A Level 2 retention holster combines passive retention with an active retention device. Passive retention secures the firearm through adjustable friction, while active retention requires the user to intentionally disengage a locking mechanism before drawing. Dara's Level 2 Duty Holster utilizes adjustable passive retention and an integrated rotating hood retention system to provide enhanced firearm security without sacrificing draw speed.

Why Choose a Level 2 Duty Holster?

Level 2 holsters are popular among law enforcement officers, armed security professionals, military personnel, competitive shooters, and civilians who want additional firearm security during physical activity, vehicle operations, training, or duty use. They provide greater retention than standard OWB holsters while maintaining a fast and intuitive draw stroke.

Custom Level II Duty Holster 5

Posted by Curtis T Crews on Jan 07, 2024

Holster works fantastic! Very secure but draw is unencumbered thanks to the intuitive design of the thumb release. I use mine every day and it secures my Prodigy very well and the hood easily clears my Holosun optic. Only improvement I can think of would be if the holster to belt attachment could be made stiffer. Even with that I still rate it five stars.

Posted by thomas howell on Dec 29, 2023

so far so good. luv the quick release button on the retention. only problem i wish it came standard with a tactical leg strap to secure it from being so easy to move. for the price it should include at least some type of strap to hold it. jus my opinion this the 4 star rating

Professionals Quality 5

Posted by Isaac W on Dec 20, 2023

I’ll start with the short version, which is that this holster hit a home run for me. After looking around for a Ruger 57 holster, I couldn’t find any that didn’t look like cheap junk, and I stumbled across this one, having never used a Dara product previously. I was a little hesitant at the price, but after looking at the customization options, and pondering it for a few weeks, I decided to just go for it. I went with OD green for my personal taste, in the level 2 duty version. I’m not any type of law enforcement or anything, but I wanted something that would absolutely not come out riding quads or mountain biking. This checks all the boxes, and then some. Because the custom to order fact, it took a couple weeks to ship as they tell you ahead of purchase, and it was at my door 4 days after. Every part of it is perfect, and functions exactly as it should. I loosened the retention just a touch for my personal preference, but the spring loaded top release works lightning fast, the retention is plenty strong for any weapon to stay put. The color is spot on, the material quality is great, I just really couldn’t be happier, and I understand after having it in person that the price point is exactly what it should be for something of this level of quality. I will be ordering from Dara moving forward after seeing this level of quality, that is so hard to find anymore.
365xl with optic for 365 .380 with optic 5

Posted by Patrick Smith on Dec 13, 2023

I checked with customer service about the compatibility, and appreciate that they were honest and said they had not tested with the non-xl 380. From other discussions, I felt pretty confident, so went ahead, and it turned out great. With minimal adjustment (tightening the tension a bit), it snaps in tight, and the flip retention easily clears the holosun 507k that is mounted. There is extra room beneath the barrel, but that gives me option to switch out to an xl later, if desired. It's a little unusual to put such a small gun in a level II holster, but I wanted the same draw profile as my patrol weapon so I can swap out with the quick mount on the belt for less bulk or on the vest if running ropes and rifle. Very satisfied.
