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.

Custom level 2 retention holster 5

Posted by Richard Clarke on Jun 09, 2026

I bought the level 2 retention holster with the drop offset attachment for my H&K VP40. The holster is perfect as its harder to find items for the 40 then the 9. The drop offset is ok but the offset is a little to much. The drop is great. Just ordered the dbl2 and the alqs system to remedy the issue. Dara has definitely found a life long customer.

Posted by Michael Box on May 12, 2026

I’ve been using DARA Lv2 Holsters for many years. My 1st was for my FNX Tac .45 (Light Bearing) which performed so well I sourced the same for the Sig P320 when my department transitioned to armed and again when we transitioned from the 320 to the CZ P10. DARA has always had an excellent product, QC and Customer Service!

Level 2 holster 5

Posted by Mike Lee on May 06, 2026

I’m five years into my pistol journey progressing from a first pistol plus 50 rds of ammo, thru conceal carry with right holster, to training classes. Wanting to do better at “qualifications and par times” focuses one on all aspects of grip, sight picture, trigger control. But you need a great holster to be able to focus on those aspects. After five tries, this is THE HOLSTER to get you to be better shooter! Able to get good grip, draw smoothly, do the drills and reindex back into the holster. No fumbling around when you have this holster. I wish I found this a year ago, my progression would have been much quicker. Don’t waste anymore time or money, get this one!
Decent t level II holster for the money 4

Posted by Steve L on May 01, 2026

It's a good alternative level 2 holster for the price. The only thing lacking is how it's molded around the trigger guard. It should be more defined by allowing the firearm to seat and hear it click in for level 1 secure tension. By tightening the screws to fine tune didn't help, just made the holster either tight or loose for the firearm to go in/out of the holster. I have experience with Kydex holsters therefore I can easily fix that issue but for others that don't have the knowledge, this can be an annoyance for the price paid. Overall, I think it's a decent holster to do what it's intended for!
Great holster 5

Posted by Tim on Apr 28, 2026

I bought it for my glock 20 and it is a great fit. I have a 1/4" thick belt and it fits. The retention was great out of the box but the bolts don't already have thread locker on them.
Very good! 5
