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.

I had purchased a level 2 holster from another company and it was good. I liked it, but after using it I wanted it to sit lower. So I contacted them and asked if they had a drop leg system or can recommend one and they said no. I have been looking at Dara for a while, I follow them on YouTube and they looked like they make really good products. So I purchased their level 2 holster with the DBL2-L attachment and let me just say yes it is a little pricey but I got what I paid for. The release for the hood is way crisper, the kydex is thicker/stronger and the DBL2-L attachment is awesome. I was able to get to the range this week and tried it out for the first time and loved it. I can’t wait for Dara to release the DBL attachment for their magazines and I will be buying some of them. These guys definitely know what they are doing and found a customer for life.
Solid Choice 5

Purchased for the Canik Mete SFX, and fits perfectly. Came from the factory with friction/tension pre-set. Fit & finish are excellent, with smooth edges and attention to detail. Purchased with the bridge mount plate, which is a quality, nicely finished all-metal plate, well worth the add-on $. Easily attached to a Safariland QLS with included hardware and instructions. The standard size hood works flawlessly with the Holosun EPS Carry optic mounted to the Canik. Finally, very pleased that this holster also fits the Canik Mete SFT model (about 3/4" shorter barrel/slide than the SFX, otherwise identical), with perfect retention - just a little extra length past the shorter barrel/slide which doesn't hurt anything. Overall, a well-made, quality duty holster executed with attention to detail, that works perfectly with the firearm and optic combo designed for (plus the SFT model also!). Pleased with the purchase and overall experience.
