Description

Are you searching for the ultimate retention holster built to withstand duty use? Look no further than Dara’s Level 2 Duty Holster—precision-crafted from the ground up to meet the rigorous demands of law enforcement and military professionals. 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.

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.

  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.

  4. Customizable Fit
    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.

  5. Attachment Options
    Choose from our 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. 

  6. Quick Disconnect Compatibility
    For those running other attachment systems, The Bridge™ Adapter allows the user to connect to most third party belt attachments, ensuring the holster remains secure and perfectly aligned—no matter the attachment you choose. Our own Quick detach system- The ALQD- is the only auto locking QD system on the market, boasting a higher break away point than any other attachment.

  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.

    Dara for Walther Q5 SF

    Tough to find a level 2 for this model that I like and trust. Excellent quality, fit, and finish. Ridiculously fast ship time!!!!!! My only concern is the ergonomics of the retention button, as it is lower than some of the competitor models. Looks like you’ve already got a solution in the works for that, so all is well in the world again. Thanks Dara!!!!

    Love this holster

    I have several Dara holsters and they never disappoint. Just like with this new holster for my Staccato HD P4. Dara just ALWAYS works. Thank you for yet another great holster!

    You get what you pay for

    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

    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.
