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!

  • Holster fit 5

    Posted by Joe on Jul 09, 2021

    Holster fits my Walther PDP like a glove. Love the action of the drop down hood. So satisfying to hear it snap down when I press the release button. Worth the wait as it was a pre-order holster.

  • On and off duty 5

    I love the holster, the durability, the time and effort put into it and that this is the only company that has the option for the TLR-9 light, no other company gives you the option. The holster gives the user the ability to remove and insert mags without unholstering the weapon. I have AmeriGlo H3 FX suppressor sights and they fit in the weapon perfectly and still leave room for larger sights if there are any out there in the market. Its a very decent price for all that you are getting. So you make no mistake, there is a yellow stop tag zip tied to the holster advising the user on the torque settings. If you are in the market for a custom to your person holster Dara is the way to go

    Fit is spot on. Carried all day for work and stays comfortable. I get asked about it a lot.

  • Great Holster! 5

    Posted by KC on Jun 14, 2021

    I was having a tough time finding a light compatible holster for my XDM 5.25....Safariland and a few other major manufacturers don't make a holster that fits the 5.25" barrel. I stumbled across Dara Holsters and thought I'd give them a try. I'm really impressed by this holster. It's very well made with quality materials, no sharp edges, and it fits the pistol and TLR-1 light perfectly. I'm getting my range belt setup and will very likely be buying more Dara Holsters for my other pistols. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dara.

    Very well made holster, I love the level 2 retention mechanism and it fits very well. I didn't get the ALDQ with mine, but I regret that immediately. Overall great holster, would recommend.

  • Best Ive Found to Date! 5

    Posted by PT on Jun 08, 2021

    I have tried many different holsters throughout the years and by far this is the absolute best! While I'm always looking for good gear, my loadout has constantly changed so I have had to constantly find a new holster to suffice the new equipment that is attached. This Level 2 Duty holster from Dara did not only meet the needed criteria, it has by far gone beyond my expectations and I do not believe I will ever find a better one. Right out of the box the level 1 tension us great. I need to tweak it a bit, but if needed you could run this in your kit immediately after opening. While there are a lot of companies with different types of level 2 retention, this mechanism on the Dara not only functions flawlessly, it also looks like something of the future. It is very sleek and streamlined for operation. Lastly is the actual fit of the holster in which I was most surprised. Surprised only because I have never owned a holster where when in place it fits like a plastic surgical glove! This is by no means an understatement. From how tight it fits to the cuts of the holster hugging every curve of the gun, flush throughout, it feels like just another part, and extention if the pistol itself. If I could give it 10 stars I would. At the price point it is VERY comparable to most others on the market, however you will never find a holster of this quality anywhere else! I would definitely, and only recommend this product.

  • Best duty holster yet 5

    Posted by Trey on Jun 03, 2021

    I’ve tried many OWB holsters and Dara has been the best fit fit, finish, lead time, price and options by far. Carrying a G45, light bearing with red dot and suppressor height sights, Dara accommodated them all and DELIVERED. Fit was so perfect had to draw a couple dozen times to break in the kydex to my sidearm. Would and will recommend these to anyone. Will definitely be ordering more
