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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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".

  6. 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. 

  7. 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.

Warranty Information  
Dara Lifetime Guarantee
Our gear is built to last a lifetime but in the event it becomes damaged or defective we will repair or replace your Dara-manufactured and branded products- excluding apparel, patches, and stickers- for free. If we cannot repair your product, we will replace it with a new, current generation product of equal or greater value.

  • Evaluation of recently purchased Dara holster 5

    Posted by Dean F. Russell on Apr 16, 2026

    This holster is my second level two Dara holster. This holster is for my HKv9l. The holster fits the gun perfectly and is comfortable for all day wear, the tension is perfect for holding my gun secure. I would highly recommend this holster to anyone considering purchasing a level two holster.

  • Level 2 duty holster for Walther PDP pro full size. 9mm 5

    Posted by Thomas Artz on Apr 15, 2026

    Fantastic holster with the right amount of retention and great ergonomics/fit and finish. I will recommend DARA Holsters and will definitely buy another or three for different pistols.

  • Walther PDP 5" 5

    Posted by Tyler A on Apr 03, 2026

    As usual another exellent holster from Dara. Great fit, easily adjustable and sturdy.

  • Custom level 2 duty holster 5

    Posted by Danny Hall on Apr 02, 2026

    The holster is well made with a perfect fit for my Walther PDP 5 inch 9mm and red dot optic. Each retention area works smooth. It's the best holster to date that I've owned out of 5 holsters.

  • Level 2 Duty Holster 5

    Posted by Chris on Apr 02, 2026

    The absolute best made kydex holster I have ever owned. The lock up is tight and secure will never have to worry about pistol falling out or being yanked out.The belt clip is stout and fail proof as well. Keep up the great work DARA

  • Great purchase choice 5

    Posted by Zack Faller on Mar 19, 2026

    I found Dara Holsters while searching for a retention holster for a Springfield XD9 Gen 2 with a red dot Dara is the inly place i could find the holster i wanted for this gun with a dot Without a dot, all day long I watched countless video’s on this holster’s from the Dara youtube page I was impressed right off the bat because the man explaining functions of the holster Actually took the time to point out each detail and close up instead of just a quick motion so yiu’d really have no idea each movement needed to draw your pistol Also The instructor goes through wach attachments and options available for this holster AND how to install each I placed my order and it arrived pretty quickly Since i had already watched the video’s I needed to learn about I had my attachments on in minutes and installed on my range belt Ive been practicing the draw with this holster and i like it A little different from my safariland not much but after multiple reps and time Muscle memory takes over I have not had it on the range yet but i see no reason it would be an issue For any folks wondering if it works with the QLS from Safariland, Yes it does but you have to order the Bridge Adapter My best advise i coupd give to future customers interested in a Dara Holster Go to Dara’s youtube channel and watch the video’s these folks explain there products extremely well You will know exactly what your getting and more importantly that it fit fit and function properly I will be owning more Dara Holsters in the future Thank you for making a great product Zack Faller
