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.

Superb piece. High quality, thick kydex, perfect fit, aesthetically very nice, mechanically excellent. I like it better than my Safariland!
Glock 19 5

Posted by Brent Fraunfelder on Jun 09, 2023

I have a glock nineteen with suppressor sites. I attempted to look at some other companies, but determined that it was not going to work with glock 19. After looking at YouTube and calling Dara customer service I found that a level 2 would be perfect. The overall design of the holster is beyond inspiring. The rotating hood thing on it works really good too. Either way i'm glad I went with you guys not disappointed in any way. Thank you again for your help.

Holsters for an H&K VP40 are hard to come by. Dara Holsters made ours to our specifications and did it well. Quality is top notch and attention to detail is perfect. Quick build and shipping was just as fast. You all have made a lifetime customer for sure. Thank you Dara Holsters.

I looked everywhere for a Level II Duty Holster for my Walther PDP 4" with a good price and turnaround time. I found a link to DARA holsters on the Walther page. The order process was easy, price was great and delivery was very fast. The holster fits the Walther perfectly and is very comfortable to wear.

Duty holster level II Springfield Prodigy 4

Posted by Travis Bedell on May 13, 2023

The holster is well made and the belt options are beneficial to law enforcement officers. I have always had a problem with defeating the 1911 grip safety because of my large hands. The hood release button exasperates this because of it's position and a low grip. I had to add a strip of kydex, so my thumb would trigger the hood release from a forward (high grip) position. Please design a hood release on this holster model for better ergonomics using the 1911 platform, specifically positioning the hood release where the shooters thumb will end the draw stroke at the thumb safety of the handgun.
