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.

    Great holsters.

  • Excellent product! Superb customer service! 5

    Posted by Pete Tandoc on Sep 10, 2022

    After an extensive email discussion with customer service, I determined that Dara Holster's Light-Bearing Level II Duty Holster would definitely fit my Glock 19 Gen 3 w/a Trijicon RMR LED Type 2 MRDS and a Streamlight TLR-8 A G light/green laser. The only question when I finally decided to place the order was if the holster could be modified to accommodate the GS extended magazine release. Shipping time was reasonably fast. When I received the holster, I found that it was not a problem to Dremel out an extremely small portion of the holster to make the GS extended mag release fit. That alteration, of course, voided the warranty on the holster, but I am absolutely certain that this holster will function perfectly and will outlive me so much that I wont have need of the warranty anyway. So, if you are considering this holster, don't overthink things and just buy it! Even the price is very reasonable. Oh, and don't forget the mag carrier/s to match this holster.

    Surprised by the quality for the money. Level 2 retention is great and keeps the firearm secure during movement. Will buy another.

  • Light Bearing Level 2 Duty Holster 5

    I only use Dara holsters at the time that I am writing this review. With the modularity and ease of use that pairing these holsters with the ALQD provides, they have every other holster maker beat. The fit and retention is satisfying and I'm proud to carry this product anywhere I go. Anytime anyone asks, I refer people to Dara and their Light Bearing level 2 with the ALQD. Beyond the functionality, the aesthetic of the holster itself is attractive. I have. I have two of these holsters for my Glocks with the ALQD( one in coyote, one in black), so I can move the pistol between my different load outs, belts and casual clothing when I open carry. Once you buy the holster, you can purchase several of the chassis with the ALQD receiver to move it around, without remounting belt loops which is a huge plus for those of us who carry across different platforms and multiple pistols. I know this review is for the level 2 holster but I don't want to gloss over the fact that the ALQD system is very durable and reliable, as it is on of the options that you might select when you build your order. I hope this company continues to expand and gain a larger following, they deserve it for such a professional quality product. -Jim

    This is my first duty holster but I am glad this is what I got. Love the amount of adjustability it has. I’ll be shooting this weekend and putting it to its limit. Quality and price is perfect!
