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.

Great holster for Walther PPQ 5 inch 5

Posted by Philip Hahn on Apr 28, 2016

Was considering the safariland but ended up going with DARA...definetely the correct decision! This holster is very well-made and way stronger than anything else I've seen. Honestly it's pretty easy to conceal with a long shirt despite it being a duty holster for a large handgun. For all my future purchases I'm going with dara. Sure it takes longer to receive a custom holster, but it's well worth the wait
Custom Level II retention holster 5

This is my 3rd Dara holster. All three have been perfect for fit, finish and comfort. The Dara level II retains the firearm securely yet is still allows for fast deployment.
Good Holster! 4

Good holster, sturdy construction. My only criticism, the retention screw protrudes through the back of the holster if the screw is tightened. I'm concerned it'll snag on clothing. Took five weeks to receive it.
Great Holster! 5

great holster done to perfection 5

Posted by Unknown on Dec 24, 2015

I ordered a carbon fiber holster for a glock 18 to start. I had an issue where my vest would keep opening the hood so my gun was able to be removed by anyone. I was not happy but sent an email with the problem and was sent a return label promptly. Beside that I was told that it would be fixed and sent back and it was in a timely manner. Merry Christmas to me I ordered two other holsters built to the new specs and I received all three on Christmas Eve. Great looking and functioning product Thanks to the Dara team.
Great,sturdy, good looking Holster. 5

Posted by Morgan Grimm on Dec 16, 2015

Great service from staff. Custom holster delivered in great time. I am pleased to say that it is worth every penny. Looks good and very functional with slwek styling and a custom fit, the pistol almost "clicks" into the holster with a smooth draw out. Very satisfied.
Fantastic! 5

The fit n finish of this holster was better than I could have expected. First, finding a holster that wasn't a compromise in one way or another was hard. Second I am left handed, so that added to it, and third, we were fitting a Walther PPX! This was a great find on all counts, and I have no issues referring anyone here knowing they won't be disappointed.
Great Product and Company 5

Dara Holsters has created and produced a great holster, that can accommodate any style of firearm, and offers every possible option you could want. It's hard to find the right holster for your firearm, and there are a lot of variants to think of when selecting one. Such as cant of the firearm, weapon lights/lasers, and height of the holster on your waist. Dara Holsters offers it all, and in my case, I owned a weapon light previously not listed on their website, after getting contact with their great customer service rep. Dana, they purchased it just to create the custom holster that I needed for my duty belt rig, I own and carry a CZ P-07 Duty 9mm. and as far as after market products go, this particular firearm has a very limited market. Dara Holster is one of those rare companies out there who's focus'es on their customers, and if they don't have what you are looking for they will go out of their way to make sure they get your business. Awesome company with and awesome product.
