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

  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.

  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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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. 

  6. 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.

  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.

    tp9 elite combat

    I got my holster abt 2 weeks before I thought I would get it. Its built very well. It had a minor fitment issue with my mag release. There was no argument at all they just had me send it back. It came back very quickly and it fits great. I highly recommend DARA. I can't wait to get to the range with it.

    Canik Elite SC Level 2 Duty Holster

    This holster has exceeded my expectations many times over. I saw that there was a holster for the SF Elite and I was curious if one could be made fore the Elite SC since they are so similar. I called and spoke to a wonderful lady who was the single most helpful customer service representative that I have ever spoken to. She answered all of my questions and gave me advise on how to order the custom holster. She was very pleasant and she was also the same lady who answered my second call a few weeks later. She deserves a raise, and a good one. The holster is absolutely perfect. It fits much better than any other holster that I have tested. It didnt need any adjustments at all for retention. The attachments for the hilster and the leg strap are all of the highest quality. I will be ordering many, many more holsters from DARA.

    Lvl 2 duty holster

    Probably the best duty holster I have ever bought. Also one of the only companies that make a holster for my Beretta apx combat. I will be buying mag holsters from Dara soon. Definitely recommend

    Awesome holster

    Being ex military I’ve used many types and brands of holsters. This is by far the best operating and perfect fit. Keep up the kick ass work.

    I've been waiting for a while to get this holster I finally chose this over a safari land and this did not disappoint In my opinion this is hands down the best duty holster I have ever tried. It met my expectations amazingly and hope that when I get My TRL-1 pistol light I can have the holster made by DARA to accommodate it

    P229 with Romeo1

    Let's see if this review makes it to the site. This is a great duty holster when you have an optic mounted. There are a couple of minor issues, but nothing that would keep me from recommending it. First, love the retention system (and release). My partner (who also carries this holster) commented the shroud should have a "less plastic look" to it, but the fit and function are superb. Thumbs up! The holster pretty much has to go on a duty belt. I tried it on my CCW belt first, and even though there was no play in the holster's belt loop area, the holster was very unstable (pulling away from my leg during the draw stroke) which impeded the draw. The leg strap would have reduced that, but my organization doesn't allow them to be used. YMMV. Thumbs sideways. Putting it on the duty belt solved most of the "pulling away from the leg" instability, even without the leg strap. Thumbs up! The portion of the holster mount that the leg strap threads through is longer than most duty holsters - my partner finds his presses uncomfortably into his thigh and causes bilateral sciatica pain. He's decided (since he can't use the leg strap either) he may have to cut away that portion of the holster mount. Again, YMMV - I haven't had that issue personally. Thumbs sideways. The holster does stand out from my side quite a bit further than my previous duty holster (a Saf***land on a QLS mount), so it clears the vest easily on the draw stroke. Unfortunately it also makes sitting in a vehicle a bit more cramped and less comfortable (and I'm not a huge guy - 5'11", about 195#). Thumbs sideways. Adjustability? You can make some modifications to the cant by unmounting and remounting the holster. Nothing vertical, though. It rides pretty high, so if you're used to a mid- to low-ride holster you're going to have to get used to that. Thumbs up (for me)! Durability? Well, I've only been carrying it for a little over a week, so I can't honestly comment on that. No thumbs. Price and speed of delivery? Priced right, and much faster than the projection (I had mine within a week of dropping the order). Thumbs up! The good news? There's no thumbs downs. Recommendations for consideration by the manufacturer? Maybe dress up the hood just a bit, and consider a second mount option that's a little stiffer and a little shorter (without the leg strap). All in all this seems to be a pretty good piece of gear, and it was about the only level 2 duty holster I could find (besides the Bla***awk Omn***re) that would take my P229 with an RMR. My partner and I will be putting these through their paces, but you know how it goes - there probably won't be any updates from us on this gear. I recommended it to my partner (before I had tried it) and I recommend it to you (after having tried it). Stay safe!
