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.

ALL THAT AND CUSTOM MADE IN THE USA 5

Posted by Mike Hendricks on Oct 20, 2016

I shopped long and hard before deciding on Dara Holsters. I exchanged emails with the company and they responded quickly. I liked the personalized customer service. They made six custom holsters for me and every one of them was perfect. And all this for less than the cost of a mass produced holster. Quality takes time. There is a lead time, but that is to be expected with a custom holster. These holsters are well worth the wait.
only company who can make this holster 5

Looked for over a year to find a level II holster that would fit my Glock 30 SF with surefire Xc1 light.
Fantastic Duty Holster! 5

Posted by Dan on Sep 27, 2016

Best duty holster I have had to date. Fit like a glove right out of the box. Excellent trigger guard coverage and the retention mechanism is adjustable to your taste. Perfection! Way to go Dara. Keep up the good work. Those who uphold the laws of our nation are grateful for quality like this.
Very Solid Holster 5

Posted by Erik on Sep 13, 2016

This holster is very stiff and does not flex like other kydex brands. The craftsmanship is top notch and the belt attachment is really solid. The level-II strap has just the right amount resistance behind it to draw the pistol with ease and still retain the firearm. Highly recommend this product.
Level 2 duty holster for HK VP40 5

Posted by Unknown on Sep 01, 2016

I needed a duty holster for my HK VP40 and ran across Dara Holsters. I selected the mid ride option and the TLR 1 HL options as well. It did take a while for me to get the holster (5 weeks) but that's because they make the holster just for your gun. The holster fits perfect on my 1.75 inch 5.11 rigger belt. With the gun in the holster it was super light and almost feels like its not even on my hip. The gun makes absolutely no noise in the holster. It is very secure, and the retention is tight but the thimb break is not difficult. Overall 5/5 product and I'm very satisfied.
This holster and mag pouch are outstanding. The fit is perfect for an unusual weapon system and magazines 5

Posted by Jim Lauria on Aug 02, 2016

The quality of the work is excellent. The fit is perfect. The look is professional and I'm very please with my purchase
Well worth the wait 5

Posted by Mike Hendricks on Jul 30, 2016

Ordered a custom holster for my Sig M11 A1. Not a common pistol, so I felt like I was taking a chance on it fitting just so. I needn't have worried. The fit was perfect. It was like they had my pistol at their shop and custom fit the holster. If your pistol is not a common one, be sure to list any special features and include a photo. Also, I was concerned about the estimated wait time. How long would it really take? But they were spot on there too. Not to mention made in the USA. What more could you want? I will be ordering one for every pistol I have.
level 2 duty holster for the Ruger SR9C 5

Posted by James Bonanno on Jul 28, 2016

The holster had an excellent fit and finish. The Kydex is top quality. The retention system utilized is easy to operate and clicks back into place in a positive fashion.
Perfect for my S&W Shield 5

Posted by Unknown on May 19, 2016

My employer required a minimum of level II holster - I could not find one for my S&W Shield with laser. Only one available was from Dara. It took a few weeks, but was expected. I received it last week and it works great - Solid construction. Feels like it will last a lifetime.
Really good holster 4
