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.

    Sig P229 w/Romeo1

    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 I've used - 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 the Romeo1. 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!

    Fn 509 tactical holster

    I had never heard of Dara holsters before and there are very few reviews on the internet about them so I took a chance and I am very impressed with the quality of materials and the build I was expecting a very flimsy kydex holster but this very sturdy and better built than even Blackhawk. The only thing I wish they would add is a thumb shield for the thumb release. But otherwise I am very happy and impressed!!!

    CUSTOM LEVEL II DUTY HOLSTER

    Perfect fit, I have been using it for more than a week and I am extremely happy with my purchase. It is very durable and came out of the box with no need to tighten or loosen the retention. I Will definitely be shopping here again in the future.

    Badass Holster!!!

    Highly modifiable to your liking and fit. Seems pretty damn durable also. Have used it at work, on duty for a lil bit now and sitting Nd moving around with it on isn’t a problem as long as you got a good gun belt. Polly end up buying another Dara holster eventually for my other pistols. Definitely recommend!!!

    Pleased customer

    I have been searching for a duty holsters for my IWI Masada, but haven't had much luck finding one. I stumbled across Dara Holsters online and found out I could have a custom duty holster made for it. Awesome durable product and looking forward to see how it holds up over time.

    Vp9

    First Dara holster I have ever owned and let me tell you this thing is amazing. For starters it’s an act of Congress to find a holster for most H&K guns let alone the Vp9. I wasn’t 100% sold on Dara simply due to the fact they don’t have an OD green holster for my Vp9. I had ordered a safariland holster and was waiting for it when my father in law received his Dara. Took one look at his and I cancelled my order from Safariland over their shipping time frame(100 days), Dara got it too me in less than 10 days!!!! And I truely believe I made the right choice. I will purchase from these guys again for sure. Wish I could attach a video using it. U won’t be displeased. Also u get a free optic cut!! Like for real. Buy this dam product lol.
