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

  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.

  • Awesome holster 5

    Posted by Matt on Feb 04, 2021

    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.

    Posted by Jack price on Feb 03, 2021

    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 5

    Posted by Wrote a 4 star but it didn't get posted... on Jan 27, 2021

    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!

  • Fn 509 tactical holster 5

    Posted by Adam on Jan 19, 2021

    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 5

    Posted by Ken on Jan 15, 2021

    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!!! 5

    Posted by Taylor Jenkins on Dec 22, 2020

    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!!!

    Posted by Jordan on Dec 11, 2020

    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.
