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.

Got the lvl 2 duty holster for my sig 1911 emperor scorpion with a viridian laser, and wow I was surprised by how well it formed around! My sig is snug and happy. Also love the thumb throw and also the black leather texture looks real. From ordering online to my door step in Oregon it took two months which was the downside, besides that 5 stars any day!

I just bought this Level 2 Duty Holster, my 2nd holster from Dara. These are great products. Custom build wait times, but well worth the wait. I have a few pieces of furniture on my Glock 20, and the holster is a perfect fit. It will stand up to years of abuse. I recommend Dara to my friends.
Just What I needed 5

Arrived 5 days ago and is just what I need. I ordered a 22.5 degree forward cant for my everyday OWB here on the ranch and range. This holster is slim enough to Conceal Carry everyday in the colder months and possibly in Summer heat. I can ride my quad or motorcycle with out worrying about losing my firearm and also sitting with little discomfort.Very well made holster, Don A.

I have a Walther ppq 45 and was having a very hard time finding a good retention holster. My Duty Holster for my Glock 21 I carry at work is a Safariland and I wanted something similar for my personal carry 45 because I don't want to have to have to think about what I'm doing too much if I get in an, " oh shit " moment. I ordered the level 2 from Dara back in September. I have an attached Crimson trace rail master and didn't want to have to remove it to carry in a retention holster. A rather well built level 2 custom holster arrived in the mail the other day that was built just for my setup. Have to say that I am very pleased with the job Dara did. It looks great and functions perfectly. When I am in the market for another holster, I'm coming back to Dara! Great work and well worth the wait!

I have a box full of holsters that were supposed to fit my pistol and myself, but always had to dig out the cheap nylon one that I hate only because it fits, sort of. well now I finally have a holster that fits both me and my pistol.
