Description

Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster

The Dara Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster is an outside-the-waistband (OWB) retention holster designed for pistols equipped with weapon-mounted lights. Built for law enforcement, military personnel, armed security, and professional duty use, it combines adjustable passive retention with an active, spring-operated rotating hood.

Each holster is individually thermoformed in-house from .125" Kydex or Boltaron for a specific firearm and weapon light combination. This firearm-specific construction provides a secure fit, protects the trigger guard, and accommodates compatible slide-mounted optics and suppressor-height sights.

Two Levels of Retention

Passive retention: Dara's adjustable rubber retention system allows the user to fine-tune the resistance during the draw.

Active retention: The rotating hood locks over the firearm until the thumb-operated release is depressed. The spring-loaded hood then rotates forward, helping clear loose garments and providing a consistent draw stroke.

Unlike holsters that use an aftermarket retention hood, Dara's Level 2 system was engineered in-house as a complete duty holster. Its retention components, hardware, and holster body are designed to work together.

Adjustable for Your Duty Setup

The Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster is compatible with the Dara Level 2 Control Kit, allowing users to customize the thumb release for their hand size, gloves, and personal preference.

Compatible Dara duty attachments, including the DBL2 and DBL2-L, provide options for adjusting ride height, cant, and clearance from body armor. The Bridge Adapter also supports compatible third-party mounting systems.

Every holster is manufactured and fit tested in-house and backed by Dara's Lifetime Warranty.

Key Features

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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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 custom Duty OWB Holster is meticulously handcrafted from .125" Boltaron or Kydex, guaranteeing a precise fit for your specific make and model.
Streamlight Compatibility
Refer to our dedicated compatibility information for seamless integration with Streamlight weapon lights.

The craftsmanship is impeccable! The fit to my sidearm is perfect. I haven't put it through trials in the field yet but up to this point I am very pleased and impressed with the product. Great job DARA!

I needed a duty holster for my SIG Sauer P320 AXG Legion. This holster works and fits perfectly. Now I will be ready for WWIII or larping in my mom’s basement. 10/10, would recommend.
Law enforcement carry 4

Posted by Casey on Dec 31, 2023

Holster over all is very well built I love the options that are available. With that said the one thing I would like is a retention mechanism that is inside the holster for more secure carry while on duty.
Nice! 5

Posted by Tim on Dec 30, 2023

My only other Experience with Kydex in a duty holster is with a BH Serpa. I much prefer the thumb action release of the security strap over the finger actuated release of the serpa models. My ONLY disappointment with the Dara holster is the loud snap that the cover makes as it snaps forward for the draw. It may just be me. Otherwise, i like everything about this holster. My weapon is secure and doesn’t flop around like you get with the all nylon holsters. I like the interchangeable hangers and mounts. It would be nice to have a mount with a bit more drop to accommodate those of us with longer arms, but im just nit picking. The addition of the new adapter from Dara, is a great idea if you like your Dara holster but already have a G-code platform. All in all, this is a nice, attractive, and sturdy addition to my gear.

Great Duty Holster 5

Posted by Sam Sanchez on Nov 22, 2023

I'm in law enforcement and have been for 13 years. I have always used Safariland as that is what the departments have ordered. With this agency we are able to step out of the standard box and try different things. I couldn't be happier with this holster, it is my first non-Safariland holster for duty and I love it. It is lighter, thinner, and more affordable (I don't have to pay for it, but I still like to save the agency money). The material is durable, the action works as it should, and I like the leg strap option for long range days. My duty weapon is a Glock model 45 with a Streamlight tlr-7 with a Holosun 507c.
Sig Sauer P229 Legion with TLR-1 5

Posted by Charles Burki on Nov 11, 2023

Couldn't be happier. High quality product and fits my Sig Sauer P229 Legion with LTR-1 perfectly. I will be buying all of holsters in the future from Dara. I am already ordering several of their Mag Carriers for my Battle Belt. You can't regret buying their holsters.

FAQs

An example of the double loop and drop offset attachment. the double loop has 2 points of attachment to the belt where the belt feeds through each side. The drop offset is a separate piece that connects the double loop to the holster. the drop offset drops the holster down and offsets the grip from the body.

An example of the quick loop and drop offset attachment. the quick loop hinges at the top and clips around the bottom of the belt with locking tabs to secure it in place. The drop offset is a separate piece that connects the quick loop to the holster. the drop offset drops the holster down and offsets the grip from the body.

all of our drop attachments side by side on a belt. left to right: the dbl2 which provides the shortest drop, the dbl2-l on the highest setting which has almost the same drop height as the double loop and drop offset attachment, the middle features the dbl2-l on the lowest setting which provides the lowest drop, then comes the double loop and drop offset with a similar drop as the dbl2-l on its higher setting, and to the far right is the double loop with straight drop- on option we no longer offer.
