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 holster. 5

    Posted by Robert Atkins on Dec 09, 2021

    I have three. They all look and work great.

  • Great setup 5

    Posted by John Carr on Dec 01, 2021

    I have the non-light-bearing version of this level 2 holster for my FN 509 and it's been amazing the past year, still like new despite constant work use. The ALQD system is also super convenient for just taking the whole holster off to go in the safe for the night. It came down to this or the safariland and really the only thing that the (much more expensive) safariland has going for it is the hood that completely covers your optic. If Dara could add something like that this holster would be perfect. Decided to get a light and already have the ALQD so this is the one.

  • Light Bearing Level II Holster 4

    Posted by Cris Ibarra on Nov 19, 2021

    The construction on this holster is extremely durable compared to other kydex holsters. They use a sturdy metal bracket for mounting and use metal screws for added durability. The release button feels solid and very tactile to use even in no-light situations. I have not used it extensively to give it 5 stars, but by the looks of it, it will last for many, many years

  • Glock 19x Light Bearing Level 2 Holster 5

    Posted by Stephen Mounts on Nov 06, 2021

    Amazing holster! I’ve never owned something so durable and sturdy. This holster doesn’t budge when on a AQLD mount so you don’t need a thigh strap. Absolutely amazing work.

  • High Quality Duty Holster 5

    Posted by 11A, RLTW on Oct 27, 2021

    The holster was purchased for competition and races for a Walther PDP 4'' w/Leupold DP. It is very sturdy and sits high enough so that it does not rub when I run. I wear it at my 3o'clock and can run miles comfortably. Leg strap is not available but it's not needed since it sits high. The level 2 protection function manipulation is easy w/great ergo. The adjustable thread lockers keep the holster tight on my gun belt. Everything feels tight and very high quality.
