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.

  • Level 2 retention holster 5

    Posted by Bryan on Apr 26, 2023

    Great quality and perfect fit for my Glock 40. Very pleased with this holster and will highly recommend to everyone.

  • PDP Holster 5

    Posted by Anthony on Apr 15, 2023

    Only company that I could find that made a proper duty style holster specifically for my PDP Pro FS. While I haven't had the holster for long, it feels well made. The retention system feels very secure. Is pretty comfortable to wear. Really I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars only because it isn't a level 3, but I could not find anyone who made a level 3. Very happy with my purchase. Would recommend the leg strap with it.

  • Cannot be beat! 5

    Posted by Brady Robison on Apr 07, 2023

    I have had some of the best holsters made, and this one is at the top of the list. I will no longer use what I previously had used (Safariland, Bianchi, etc). Dara is my go0to moving forward. The only negative I can say, and it isn't about the holster itself, is that it won't fit a pistol with an SRO mounted. This wasn't clear when I ordered mine, I noticed it when I received it and my pistol wouldn't seat properly. I had to do some searching on the site to see that the SRO didn't fit. It isn't a huge issue for me, I just swapped pistols and it works perfect, but thought I would mention it. Do yourself a favor and buy this holster!

  • Great holster! 5

    Posted by RBriant on Apr 06, 2023

    Bought a Sig P226 RSX (with red dot) and could not believe no one made a tactical battle belt Level II and/or III holster. I use Safariland and Aliengear for my other pistol training, with single leg strap. NOPE for either of these and after some time on the internet found DARA! Perfect pistol fit, great and easy adjustment to lower the height of the holster to where I like it, can even cant it but not what I like for me. Leg Strap is good and easy to get set up. THANK YOU DARA, for making a holster for the P226 RSX!!!

  • Sig P229; Perfect fit 5

    Posted by Dan D. on Apr 05, 2023

    Ecstatic with the quality and the fitment of the holster to my P229. Will recommend going forward!

  • 509 Tactical holster 4

    Posted by Izzi on Apr 05, 2023

    This holster is pretty nice! It is build well and the fit/finish is great. I have one major complaint that is going to make me move on to something different though. The issue I have is with my 509 w/comp, the end of the weapon sticks out and is exposed. This proves less than desirable when you’re rolling around on the ground or trekking through rough terrain. This is because stuff like dirt, mud, and snow get jammed into the barrel and open end of the comp. I would have preferred this area was enclosed and able to utilize a barrel plug. Other than that chief complaint I really like the holster.

  • Light bearing holster 5

    Posted by Jose P on Apr 04, 2023

    The product is well made, I like the spring action incorporated into the hood. My weapon fits perfectly and the tension screws work well. I am extremely happy with my holster which I use on duty as an LEO.

  • Duty holster 5

    Great construction, sturdy.

  • Great duty holster 5

    Posted by Ben on Mar 24, 2023

    I’ve run a lot of duty holsters from safari land to Blackhawk and a few in between. This is right up there with any of the holsters I’ve had. It mounts on the belt easy. It sits in a good spot and the pistol comes out smooth. You’re going to have to adjust everything you get to make it perfect, like any gear. It’s a good holster, the thumb break is crisp and easy. I like where your hand ends up when you grab it. It accommodates a P320C with an sig red dot and a TLR-1 light. Doesn’t rattle around and comes out quick when you need it. The ride height is good. I have the ALQD on mine so I can swap holsters easy. It’s worth the buy.
