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.

Level 2 duty holster 4

Posted by Ryan Ingham on Oct 31, 2022

Overall excellent build and materials quality. Gun has been holstered 150+ times with minimal visual damage to finish. Rubber retention is easy to adjust and provides easy drawing while still passing the 'upside down shake test'. Only issues are the retention strap has a bit of play (can be noisy) and the flip lever/strap assembly is somewhat bulky, requiring the hoster mount to position the gun further away from centerline, resulting in the draw motion being somewhat outward instead of straight up (if the lower leg strap is used)

This is one of the most well made holster I’ve ever purchased. To top it off when I received it, the box had PHIL 4:13 on the side! You can do all things through Him who gives you strength! Definitely have a repeat customer and letting all my friends know!
Level II duty holster 5

Posted by Richard D on Oct 14, 2022

Very good holster. I like the options that are available, and it fits good with my firearm, and my duty belt. The release is smooth, and securely holds my gun in place, and allows for the the red dot I have on it. Quality work.
Hellcat RDP fits perfectly 5

Posted by Taylor Liles on Oct 14, 2022

Got this for my hellcat rdp to use for some competitive shooting. Great fit with the gun and seems like it will be great after doing some drawing practice. Can't wait to get out and try it out fully
Holster is amazing 5

Posted by Brandon Smith on Oct 05, 2022

This holster is a perfect fit for my M&P9 2.0pc. I love the flip retention strap and it makes me feel like I have complete control on my weapon while working. Thank you DARA Holsters and please keep up the great work!

Boy am I glad I did my research and picked up the custom level 2 duty holster for my springfield 1911. Super snug fit, which can be adjusted to the right tension for you. I also dig that it sits far enough away from my hip, so my plate carrier is a non issue when drawing. The thumb press is pretty groovy too, just maybe a little more hidden to the naked eye Love my holster and I love that it's not a big name brand. The mom and pop shops do the best work in my eyes, and Dara met my expectations if not exceeded them. I will definitely come back for my next purchase ! - Let's unite as a species and take the power back ppl!
Excellent Quality Holster and a Perfect Fit 5

You really can't say much more than Excellent and that's exactly the quality of this product. I'll be coming to Dora for all my holster needs.
Custom Level II Duty Holster 5

I am left handed and had a hard time finding a level II duty holster for my Glock 43X MOS. Dara had it to me in no time at all. It is a fantastic holster.
Custom Level II Duty Holster 5

This is a great product. Fit my FNX 45 Tactical like a glove (pardon the old cliche). Love the push down lever to release the retainer for the pistol and how it accommodates both the red dot and a compensator. The slight drop in the holster from the belt line also facilitates pistol acquisition.
