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

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. To customize the thumb lever, see our Level 2 Control Kit.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.

Perfect Holster 5

Posted by Dan on Apr 08, 2021

Exactly what I was looking for in a holster for open carry and 3-gun competitions. Perfect fit for my pistol for secure holstering and can easily have a smooth draw. Easily attached to my gun belt. FYI Coyote Brown color has a black hood - still looks great.

Worth the money! 4

Excellent product. I was worried about the fit with my red dot as it is bigger than most but it cleared with extra room. The fit is out of this world, I dont have to worry about slippage or a struggle even without the retention hood. Its less expensive the top line holsters but on par with them. It fit my war belt perfectly and has multiple options with belts. My only complaint with the product is they dont offer it with a light option for my weapon. Perhaps in the future.
VERY NICE AND FUNCTIONAL HOLSTER 5

Posted by Will Myers PPQ WALTHER Q4 TAC on Mar 27, 2021

WHEN I PURCHASE THIS HOLSTER I DID NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE "THUMB STRAP" WORKED. MAYBE I MISSED SOMETHING. UPON USING THE HOLSTER I FOUND THE SPRING LOADED THUMB RELEASE AN EXCELLENT FEATURE. IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A GOOD SELLING POINT. A SHORT VIDEO MIGHT ATTRACT MORE BUYERS. AS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE I LIKE THE HOLSTER TO SIT A LITTLE LOWER ON THE BELT BRACKET. ITS JUST A BIT TOP HEAVY. ALSO AN ADDITIONAL HOLE OR TWO FOR NARROWER BELTS MIGHT BE HELPFUL. FUSSY CRITIQUE. I'VE CARRIED AS A CIVILIAN FOR 20 YEARS USING MANY TYPES OF HOLSTERS. THIS ID A SUPERIOR HOLSTERS IN ALL REGARDS THANKS WILL

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 5

Posted by Elais Freeman on Mar 01, 2021

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.
