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 II Duty Holster 5

    Posted by Matthew on Jan 28, 2023

    Built really well. I got this level II for my XDM Elite and fits like a glove. Everything runs smooth as expected. I also got the leg strap as well, which definitely increases the overall stability of the platform. I’ll be looking to get a couple more of these moving forward for my other firearms. Great product. Safariland better watch out, Dara is coming for the title.

  • VP9L Level II Duty Holster 5

    Posted by Chavez, J. on Jan 27, 2023

    Dara holsters delivered and came in clutch. As a lefty sporting an HK VP9L as my primary duty firearm. I had no luck finding a holster. DARA was able to make one to fit my needs. Great quality product delivered, overall I am highly satisfied with my purchase and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you to all the DARA employees I greatly appreciate you guys!!!

  • Awesome 5

    Posted by Walther Pro SD Compact on Jan 27, 2023

    I have a Walther Pro SD Compact with a TLR-7A and this holster is an absolute perfect fit! Fit and finish is superb and the draw is great. I've had to do zero modifications to get the holster how I want. The Walther PDP 4" with TLR 7 in the drop down menu matches perfectly. Awesome holster that I'll trust my life with. Super fast response to my fitment question on instagram even though the team was exhausted from SHOT Show. Another win for Dara!

  • Good Holster 4

    Posted by Shaun Hughes on Jan 25, 2023

    The holster is great it was the only one I could find that took a p320 with a TLR-9 attached and I really like it. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is the belt slide and drop offset could use some work to make them more robust. You should look at a belt attachment like a blackhawk that tightens down on the belt. This is a minor issue and the holster is still great.

  • Light Bearing Level II Duty 4

    Posted by Larry Robinson on Jan 22, 2023

    I have had the Light Bearing Level II Duty Holster for a few days, now. So far, I am impressed. I like the quick release that Dara has designed. I was able.to mount the Dara base to my departmental supplied quick release platform (my department requires use of a specific Level III holster) so I can easily mount my holster for my off duty pistol, to my duty belt, so I can qualify without bringing my entire EDC rig for qualifying. I can just detach my duty holster, and click in my Data holster that accommodates my FNX45 with TLR1. The Dara Light Bearing Level II Holster completely covers the trigger and trigger guard all the way up to the grip of the pistol, where other holsters I've test driven, have a space you can easily work a finger into, to access the trigger. So far, I am impressed,.and next month I plan on getting some mag carriers, as I'm considering to start doing some competition shooting with my FNX45

  • Can’t get much better than this 5

    Posted by Cody L. on Jan 12, 2023

    This holster is honestly my favorite. The draw is smooth, the retention is immaculate, and you just can’t beat the action the hood makes to come down. All around fantastic, only thing is a wish it fit on safariland leg shroud. But it’s perfect.

  • Dara duty holsters 4

    Posted by Albert waldrep on Jan 11, 2023

    I’ve bought and used THREE DARA duty holsters. The latest being the light bearing model. The belt slide wasn’t the most comfortable until I figured the best position on my belt. Now? Alls good to go.

  • Holster 5

    Posted by Brad York on Jan 11, 2023

    Good drop to holster, great for duty, have to break holster in at first it is very tight on gun. But once it is ready it is a wonderful holster.

  • Red dot and light bearing holster 5

    Posted by John Komorowski on Jan 09, 2023

    This is for my Glock 35 Gen 5 MOS. This is one terrific holster. It is well made and pistol fits perfectly and locks tight when you adjust for yours. Again, this is a fine holster, and I'm very happy with it and well worth the money.

  • Light Bearing Level 2 duty Holster 5

    Posted by Lee Cook on Dec 25, 2022

    I am a 20+ year LEO and have used plenty of holsters. I have an XR920 by Shadow Systems and this Holster fits perfectly even better than Blackhawk. The XR920 has a Holosun 507 Red Dot Optic and a Holosun P.ID light. This holster fits like a glove. I wish that they had been around sooner.
