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.

Awesome holster 5

Posted by Mayhem on Sep 18, 2019

This holster is amazing. Great craftsmanship and works as expected. The only bad thing is I thought I was purchasing the one made for weapon mounted lights and I didn’t (absolutely my fault). This is every bit as good as the big name brand holsters. I will be purchasing another one in the future!

This is a nice holster. Thigh strap is perfect. Myriad adjustments can be made. Highly recommend Dara for tactical needs.

Bought it for work only level two holster that is for my gun (S&W SD9VE) that fits on a 2” duty belt. Thumb release and retention is prefect
Fantastic quality 5

I'm impressed by the holsters quality and ship time and with a little modification to fit my MARS mag release this holster is going to be great.
CUSTOM LEVEL II DUTY HOLSTER 5

Everything you could possibly want in a level II duty holster. Custom made just for me and the gun of my choice. What is there not to like. This will be the company I go to for my next gun holster and magazine holsters.
Level II Custom Holster 5

Posted by Pat on Jul 09, 2019

I ordered this holster for my new S&W M&P 2.0 9mm. The fit and finish are excellent. I went with the Carbon Fiber Texture. I had to do a slight adjustment as it was a little tight(1/4 turn on the screws and it's great). Drawing or holstering the weapon, the action is smooth and clean. It is solid with a perfect fit. I lowered it a bit more than what it came from factory but I like it this way as I wore it like this when I was in military. Love this holster. Just have to get some belt keepers as it slide around a bit on my nylon belt. Turnaround time was super quick I got it way faster than I thought. I definitely recommend you won’t be disappointed. Great work. My brother really likes it and wish he could get one for his weapon(Taurus PT 99) but hard to find one. Thank you.

I love it! The holster allowed for almost any adjustment you could want. Time from order to receipt was considerably shorter than expected. Excellent quality and workmanship. Thanks Fred
Custom Made for My CZ Phantom 5

Posted by John Anderson on May 03, 2019

Wow...as good or better than a Safariland! I had a had a hard time locating a Duty Holster for my custom CZ Phantom until I stumbled across Dara. I was stoked that they could make a holster to fit it and include a threaded Barrel. I am very pleased w/ how it fits and looks. I will be turning some heads at the range...some more Canadian customers may be coming your way. Thanks DARA!
