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.

Holster for my H&K USP 9mm 5

Posted by Ladd McGowan on Aug 25, 2023

This is my first time to own a level 2 holster and I love it. However, it would have been nice to have some instructions regarding torque and extra parts and why they were necessary. After I figured out torque my H&K was sweet to draw. My only regret is that I didn't purchase the belt and the tie-down at the same time as the holster. I have not been able to find on the web site where I can purchase them separately. Can you help me there? 503-680-5887 laddcornell@gmail.com.

Did not think I could find such a professional level holster, especially for my FN. I absolutely love my holster and the quality associated with it. I can guarantee you will not regret going with Dara!

Impossible duty product to get until I found your company. I am the Sheriff in Jefferson County Montana and Dara will be the only product I buy. I know that 2 of my other Deputies carry your product and are very satisfied with the performance.

Dara Level II Duty Holster 5

Posted by Joe A. on Jul 21, 2023

I am on the security team at our church Memphis. I am a uniformed officer and I chose this holster due to reviews and colleague recommendations. I am not disappointed! Once you become accustomed to your overall width that the holster creates, it is super comfortable. I train with the holster, doing drills from the holster and I can't say enough about the fluid draw I get with this rig. Preesing the hood release and drawing the weapon is effortless and quickly became second nature, as the release is located precisely where my thumb would be during the draw. I absolutely love it!!!
M&P COMPETITOR 4

Posted by David Rodriguez on Jul 18, 2023

The holster is good, however, I found a small flaw if you are using it with the S&W M&P Competitor. The oversized magazine release gets pressed by the holster if the gun gets pushed up against you causing the magazine to pop out. I had to shave off a section around the magazine release button using my Dremel tool to prevent that from happening.

Bought this for my Staccato XC. I wanted a mid drop holster. The holster is made very well, fits the weapon excellently! Plenty of adjustment. Happy customer.

Give these guys a chance 5

Posted by Mr. Navarro on Jun 16, 2023

I have a CZ Shadow 2 and I was looking for a good holster sturdy and strong enough to actually hold the heavy gun. After looking, reading and reviewing videos I found Dara holsters they immediately caught my attention because he was a level two duty holster for my pistol. Like any other person I was skeptical I didn't think it was going to be a good quality but I gave this guy a chance I ordered my holster. The day it arrived home I was actually pretty excited I opened it I immediately insert my weapon into the holster and it fit like a glove and it did what it had to do and it was good quality. The only thing that you're going to need is that leg brace I did not order it at the beginning because I didn't want to look like a tactical range Ninja but you will need it.
