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.

    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

    The holster fits great it was a little tight at first but worked with customer service and got it taken care of. Stephanie was quick to respond, kind, and helped resolve the temporary issue. Thanks, I will be using this for a long time I think.

  • LVL 2 Duty Holster 10/10 5

    Posted by Roberto Salinas on Mar 09, 2026

    This Holster is amazing! Arrived fast and was super easy to run it outta the box. Easy to attach to my current belt and fits like a glove on my gun. Highly recommend !

  • Quality and Superb Customer Service 5

    One thing is for sure, Dara and team go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction and continued refinement of their craft. When initially ordering a Level 2 Duty holster (the holster is of very high quality), I ordered an attachment system that didn’t meet my needs completely. DARA reached out and went unbelievably far out of their way and at cost to help get me what I need. Incredible so far, and I will be exploring their concealed carry systems next. Thank you team.

  • Customer Service 5

    Posted by Carl Rubin on Nov 08, 2025

    Holster arrived early! Also, I was sent several emails by the company keeping me posted as to the progress of my holster. What I am especially impressed about is that when my holster arrived, the company included a copy of my order. This order has highlighted check marks from DARA as to the specifications that I ordered. On page 2, I noticed that 4 separate employees signed off on this holster from the build phase to the final inspection phase. You don't see that kind of detail and care in a company anymore! DARA Holsters has a customer for life! I will order again!!!
