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.

  • Light bearing level 2 duty holster 4

    Posted by Ron on Apr 17, 2021

    Was disappointed at first, but... Bought this holster since DARA was one of the few makers that offered an option for a Glock 19 w/TLR7. Upon getting it, I was very impressed with the unit. To my dismay however, the gun wouldn't fit.If I forced it into the holster it was extremely difficult to draw. It took me a few minutes to figure out that I was using a 5th gen Glock and the website only specified in the drop down menus Glock 19. The issue was the slide stop lever on the right side of the gun didn't match the holster. My similarly set up gen 4 fit just fine. About ten minutes with a hair drier and a little holstering/drawing fixed this with no problem after that. After revisiting the website, I couldn't find an option to specify for a 5th gen Glock (might be a comment section thing I missed). Overall I really like this holster. My only complaint is make sure there is an option for gen 5 Glocks. I intend on using it for the training classes I teach, as well as extra security details I am currently working. Unless I run into some major failure (which I am doubtful of judging on the solid construction of this holster), I will recommend it to students and other professionals that ask about it.

    I ordered a safariland, that was a mistake! I talked to a rep that said "Sure we can do a holster for a P320 X5 LEGION_. After waiting 2months it shows up and what do you know let doesn't fit. Call them back "We don't make one for that gun". Ordered a Data, got here in a couple of weeks and it fits. What a concept! I'll buy more.

    Purchased this holster for a Glock 19 with TLR-1 Gun Light. The fit is precise as if the holder was molded around the pistol. This looks like a winner!

    I just received mine in Coyote brown. Impressive quality and make. Dara Holsters will definitely be my go to for high quality holster from now on. It's built like a tank and it doesn't feel like Kydex and its thicker. Customer service is very helpful and responsive. Great retention. Smooth draw. Really heavy duty. Can't wait to train with it.

    Best duty rig ive ever had!!!

  • Amazing Holster 5

    Posted by Marv on Mar 04, 2021

    So I was looking for something to go on my battle belt. This is the first premium holster I have ever bought. I wear this around the house everyday and the retention is great. Out the box i had to dial it back alittle. Clicks into place every time and provides a smooth draw. The part that clips over the gun disengages super quickly when the button is pressed so you couldn't draw fast enough to get caught on it at all. I suggest the velcro leg strap but can see it being fine without one if you are running a belt through loops. Overall---BUY IT!!!
