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.

  • LBL2 Duty Holster 5

    Posted by Rocky Stanley on Feb 03, 2024

    Fit and finish is perfect. DARA has made bolsters worth every penny. Finally I have a holster for my daily that is a perfect fit. Not just it will fit, I mean a perfect fit. It looks like they literally micro measure. I love these things. You owe it to your sidearms and you’d not be disappointed to get one. Warning! When you get one, you’ll have to have one for all.

  • Dara Level 2 light bearing holster 5

    Posted by Marco L on Feb 01, 2024

    Great holster. Fit and finish is spot on. I have a Tlr1 and a 507 comp and its perfectly fine. I have a Safariland level 3 holster for work and this is the same quality. I would definitely buy it again.

  • 365 xmacro holster 4

    Posted by Unknown on Jan 30, 2024

    The holster is good for the macro. The fit is ok but leaves a bit to be desired in regards to the ability to increase the level 1 retention. The level 2 retention is perfect. Great fit, snig enough behind the pistol to negate excess movement but not too tight to cause issues engaging. The only gripe is the attachment to the universal mount. It's too high when in the original position but too small to fit in the slots just below. Would recommend a smaller universal device for the smaller handguns

    PERFECT FIT!! I went with the 5.25 length holster to keep the barrel out of the dirt when training. Love the adjustments. I also confirmed with customer service before purchasing and they were a pleasure to work with. THANKS SAMANTHA!

    Posted by Robert on Jan 19, 2024

    Well made, not the usual thin Kydex but good heavy material. I bought this for a duty carry holster and have no reservation about using it.

    Posted by Jason on Jan 17, 2024

    1st Dara holster and I’m very happy. The hood release button is perfection. Thumb goes right to it and the downward press is natural and easy. Fitment and retention is also perfection. I will be a repeat customer for sure.

  • Build and function 4

    Posted by Solid holster on Jan 17, 2024

    This is way stronger than it looks, I have no doubt this holster could handle any environment hot cold dry or wet etc. my only complaint is the position of the thumb switch that releases the hood. It’s to far back in my opinion and when I draw I have to readjust my grip on the firearm.
