Description

Are you searching for the ultimate retention holster built to withstand duty use? Look no further than Dara’s Level 2 Duty Holster—precision-crafted from the ground up to meet the rigorous demands of law enforcement and military professionals. 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.

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.
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.
Customizable Fit
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.
Attachment Options
Choose from our 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.
Quick Disconnect Compatibility
For those running other attachment systems, The Bridge™ Adapter allows the user to connect to most third party belt attachments, ensuring the holster remains secure and perfectly aligned—no matter the attachment you choose. Our own Quick detach system- The ALQD- is the only auto locking QD system on the market, boasting a higher break away point than any other attachment.
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.

The holster came with the DBL2-L and ALQD firmly attached to the Level 2 holster. From that point, it was easy to attach to my belt. I am pleased. Very quick delivery. The various installation videos on DARA's website were very informative and helpful.

Holster light so that when you draw the bottom flares out making it hard to draw on duty belt. Also slides on 2 inch duty belt due to small amount of extra space, since you had to take off notches for smaller belt. -Dear CE, Please ensure you are adjusting to the proper belt width on the duty holster attachment. Our attachments are sent out at 1.75" but can be sized down to fit 1.5" belts. This should help with the issue you are experiencing!

Ordered this for an HK USP and exceeded my expectations. Very robust, perfect fit. Optic hood works well, took a few hundred draws to get the technique down. The attention to detail on a less common platform like the USP is great, shielded ambi safety perfectly. Was produced and shipped in only 2 days! Will be shopping here again if I need another duty-style holster.

I got this holster to run for pcsl 2 gun matches, but now after shooting it I’m gonna use it for everything. Hood locks hard, but easy to open and opens quick. Gun slides out effortlessly. Big fan of the holsters.
