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.

  • OWB LIGHT BEARING PADDLE HOLSTEE 4

    Posted by John on Dec 20, 2022

    Overall not a bad holster. I liked that Dara put some thought into the holster by already configuring it to support a red dot. Well done! I gave it 4 stars because of two things. First the paddle has some rough edges on it could have been smoothed out better, so attention to detail lacked just a little bit. And second I wished the holster sat a little closer to the body, to be slightly less conspicuous. I know it's not meant to be a complete conceal carry holster but maybe food for thought on their next gen. I'll take a 1% royalty for the idea. Thanks Dara for an overall good holster.

  • Perfect fit 5

    Posted by Matt W on Dec 17, 2022

    Purchased for my Sig P320 X5 Legion with TLR-1 and Romeo Pro-1 red dot sight. It is a perfect fit and very secure. The locking mechanism is smooth and after a little break in, draws are quick and consistent. Highly recommend.

  • Level 2 Light Bearing 5

    Posted by JB on Dec 09, 2022

    This was my first purchase from Dara Holsters. Given the positive reviews here and elsewhere I decided to give them a try and was not disappointed. The construction, fitment and operation of the Level 2 Light Bearing holster is excellent! I specified the holster with the Double Loop and Drop Offset with a leg strap. This mounting system offers several adjustments for height and cant to customize the fit. The published lead times were accurate, and was provided with updates for order confirmation, production status, and shipping. Happy to support companies manufacturing in the U.S.A. I also had received great customer service support before and after the sale.

    Posted by Branden on Dec 08, 2022

    I have been using DARA holsters for a few years now. When Sig P320's were becoming a big deal, I actually called DARA to help build the holster. They provided a great product that was very durable and dependable. Since then, I have used DARA holsters for all my handguns, including all my handguns that are now light bearing

  • Quality & feel 5

    Posted by Ethan on Dec 06, 2022

    I really like this holster because it feels very sturdy, and also retains the handgun well, I like the push button release, it acts quick and with inspect I feel like I don’t have to be concerned with it wearing out or breaking on me anytime soon, it’s very well built. The only thing is I wish it rode a little lower on my waist, but that could have easily been a lack of understanding on mounting hardware on my part. Great product!

    I've only worn it a few days but quality and fit are great. I have a run and gun coming up in December so I can really put it to the test

  • Genuinely good holster. 4

    Posted by Jordan Eden on Nov 05, 2022

    I really like my Dara holsters. I had one of their regular level 2 holster for work and decided to upgrade to a light bearing holster. I was surprised to see so many options for my specific gun since it is pretty new as well. They are surprisingly low profile as well.

  • Level 2 Duty Holster with Kore Battle Belt 5

    Posted by Raymond Gould on Oct 28, 2022

    I’m extremely happy with my purchase. Components are high quality and my 365X Macro fits perfect

  • Great product 5

    Posted by T. Wolf on Oct 27, 2022

    I was looking for a more slim holster for duty use, rather than the bulkier ones my coworker carry on their belts. I happened to stumble on Dara holsters while searching around on google, and I'm very satisfied that I order one for myself. I've had level 2 holsters and I prefer to use that on-duty, and my Dara holster is great. It's exactly what I was looking for, and I have no regret that I purchased one. I highly recommend it.
