A light-bearing duty holster must do more than simply accommodate a weapon-mounted light... it must provide uncompromising security, a fast and repeatable draw, and reliable performance under the demanding conditions faced by law enforcement, military personnel and armed security professionals.

The Dara Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster combines adjustable passive retention with an integrated active retention hood to deliver dependable firearm security without sacrificing speed. Engineered with one of the fastest rotating hood systems on the market, the release is designed to produce a consistent, repeatable draw stroke that clears loose garment while remaining instinctive under stress.

Unlike many retention holsters that simply add a third-party hood to an OWB holster, the Dara Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster was engineered in-house from the ground up as a complete retention system. Everything from the rubber grommets of the adjustable retention system, to the hardware used, has the rigors of duty in mind. The holster body is precisely molded to protect the trigger guard, preventing access to the trigger while the firearm is holstered providing safety during everyday carry and duty use.

Compatible with the Dara Level 2 Control Kit, users can further customize the thumb release by modifying the button size and style that best fits their hand size, glove use, or personal preference.

Every holster is individually thermoformed from premium Kydex or Boltaron for your exact firearm and weapon light combination. Unlike injection-molded designs, our manufacturing process allows us to rapidly support newly released firearms and weapon lights, ensuring professional users have access to duty holsters shortly after new models reach the market.

Built to withstand years of hard use, every Dara Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster delivers the secure retention, repeatable performance, and adaptability demanded by today's professionals, and is backed by our Lifetime Warranty.

Key Features

  1. Durable Construction
    Engineered from .125" purpose-blended polymers and secured with black oxide coated stainless steel hardware, this holster ensures unbeatable strength and longevity in any environment.

  2. Advanced Retention System
    Experience the security of our adjustable Rubber Retention System. Customize the draw stroke to your preference, while the auto throw hood locks firmly in place until you activate the thumb lever—enabling a quick, smooth release even under loose garments. To customize your draw, see our Level 2 Control Kit.

  3. Optics & Sight Compatibility
    Designed to accommodate 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 than that will require the LARGE HOOD. If your optic measures in between, we recommend sizing up. For the Trijicon SRO or RMR HD, please check the box for a deeper optic cut.

  4. Customizable Draw
    Adjust the ride height and cant angles for optimal comfort and draw efficiency. Add an optional leg strap for extra stability, especially during high-intensity operations.

  5. Attachment Options
    Choose between our DBL2 or DBL2-L System, 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 custom Duty OWB Holster is meticulously handcrafted from .125" Boltaron or Kydex, guaranteeing a precise fit for your specific make and model.

  8. Streamlight Compatibility
    Refer to our dedicated compatibility information for seamless integration with Streamlight weapon lights.

  • Holster 5

    Posted by John Lee on Dec 17, 2024

    This is a fantastic holster with great fit and finish at a great price. The hood is very fast. This is for my S&W 10MM with a steiner mps red dot. I used the bridge adapter to go on my safariland set up. I've had it for a week now, using it every day. I would definitely buy one again.

  • Great holster 5

    Posted by Brian Kennard on Dec 12, 2024

    I’ve been running this for several day, love it. Very well made and sturdy. I’ve been running a company I shall not name, but it rhymes with Safariland for years. I’m very, very happy with my DARA!!

  • Well crafted and fits my 17 with light perfectly 5

  • Level 2 duty holster 5

    Posted by Chris Phillips on Dec 02, 2024

    Great quality and fit I wish it would have come with a standard Velcro strap though.. after 150 bucks I would have thought there would have been something. Just had a trip to the range performed flawlessly great look! Would definitely buy again

  • Great duty holster for 45 and Dagger Clone 5

    Posted by Zachary on Nov 27, 2024

    I worked armed security and use this for my Glock and its clone counterpart, this holster is buttery smooth and reliable. Looks amazing on my rig too. Top notch!

  • It just works 5

    Posted by PNWGerman on Nov 21, 2024

    Just received my second Dara holster. My first was for a CZ P10 F, which was a difficult holster to find. Loved it so much that when I got my Glock 19x, I ordered another holster along with the ALQD system so that I could switch pistols easily on my belt. I love everything about these holsters. The retention system is easy to use and FAST. Build quality is great and clean. Highly recommended.

  • Great quality and fit 5

    Posted by Jim on Nov 07, 2024

    DARA holsters and products are very high quality. They offer the most customizable holsters I have found. They always fit perfect.

  • Dara continues to deliver a great product. 5

    Posted by Kevin D on Nov 06, 2024

    This is my second Dara holster and won’t be my last. This is my first time using their Level 2 and I love it. Less bulky and less ‘fluff’ than some other Level 2 holsters on the market. Simple and Intuitive. Dara is my go to for both competitive and tactical shooting holsters & mag carriers (pistol and AR).

  • Level 2 DARA duty holster 5

    Posted by Luke Walter on Nov 01, 2024

    Absolutely the best holster I’ve ever owned! What is actually mind boggling to me is that I’ve heard of DARA holsters a lot over the years, couldn’t find a good duty holster for my Glock 21 gen 5 anywhere else, so I ordered from them off of a Google search. Was shocked by how fast it got here, just to find out they are made in my hometown of Wendell, NC and where I currently still reside! What a small world. The holster is very durable, sits on the waist line perfectly and the button that unlocks the holster is amazing. Perfect placement for a nice quick draw. I’ve used about almost every holster company out there and they all had their disappointments and pros/cons. DARA is absolutely flawless. Wish I used them way sooner. I’m not one to leave reviews normally not gonna lie but I felt like I had to here. Shoutout to everybody at the DARA team!
