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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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".

  6. 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. 

  7. 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.

Warranty Information  
Dara Lifetime Guarantee
Our gear is built to last a lifetime but in the event it becomes damaged or defective we will repair or replace your Dara-manufactured and branded products- excluding apparel, patches, and stickers- for free. If we cannot repair your product, we will replace it with a new, current generation product of equal or greater value.
