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.

  • High quality craftsmanship, excellent fit 5

    Posted by Andrew on Oct 21, 2022

    Was initially on the fence about spending this much on a holster when there are similar options for a fraction of the price, but Dara was one of the few manufacturers out there for a light-bearing Glock 40 with optic, so choices were limited. I felt better upon seeing the quality as soon as I received the holster, and having now trained with it, could not be happier that I stumbled upon Dara holsters as the functionality is absolutely superb. The security of my pistol when holstered paired with the ease of draw and natural operation of the flip lock make this one of the best holsters I've used. Thank you Dara team for such a quality product.

  • LIGHT BEARING LEVEL II DUTY HOLSTER 5

    Posted by Best. Holster. Ever. (TLR 8) on Oct 16, 2022

    I had given up on finding a good Level II holster that would fit my Gen3 G17 with a TLR8. Every holster I found that I liked was always missing one or two things or it wouldn’t fit my light. Finally found this holster and it’s as amazing as everyone on here says. I always read almost all the reviews on a product I’ve decided to buy. So many good reviews on this holster, thought it might be too good to be true. This holster blew any expectations I may have had out of the water. It’s rock solid, the retention hood mechanism is perfect. So good in fact I purchased a second one for my lady’s G19. Lastly and most importantly, they don’t tap these holster for Safariland QLS forks…BUT she was easily able to modify the QLS fork with a bit of light dremel work and it fits to perfectly. Just in case anyone was wondering, I’m the event they wanted to use this amazing holster with the Safariland QLS system.

  • Awesome duty holster! 5

    Just excellent!!

  • You have to own one to understand 5

    Posted by Tim on Oct 11, 2022

    I've always been a Blackhawk owner and I still think they make some decent stuff. However, a custom Dara level II just blows it away. No extra bulk but tough as nails. Fits my G17 with a TLR1 and Holosun perfectly. The hood is snappy and rugged. I'd 100% order another one.

  • Good secure fit for my Staccato P. 5

    Posted by Unknown on Sep 29, 2022

    Hood release is excellent. A few adjustments to the tension screws on the side of the holster and the pistol comes out with ease.

  • Awesome holster 5

    Posted by Josue on Sep 27, 2022

    All around I love this holster. The retention action is smooth and placed in a very natural position making the draw lightening fast while still protecting the firearm. The belt slide is easy to adjust tho the sharp corners can prove uncomfortable in some positions. Still, the holster is well worth it and for the price and quality you can't beat it.
