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.

    Absolutely excellent product! Truly the holster necessary for real work

  • Awesome holster 5

    Posted by Leo on Apr 08, 2020

    Ordered this holster for my glock 19 and it runs perfect when you are in full gear. The key strap is also a huge plus, allowing the holster to stay seated on you leg/hip perfectly!

    Awesome holster. Fits the weapon perfect and looks great on the duty belt.

  • Light Bearing Level II Duty Holster 5

    Excellent holster! Well made, sturdy, very good quality. Ordered it just as the COVID-19 crisis was getting serious here and received it in a relatively short period of time despite what was going on across the country. Haven't had it long enough to evaluate it's durability, but others in my agency have had it for awhile (a few months) and have not had any problems. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

    From order date to delivered, a total of 16 days. Competitor companies’ lead time 5-7+ weeks. Very well made holster. Not too thin or thick. Hood opens with a lot more force than videos show. Gun very secure when hood is on. Not any wiggle room for the gun to be pulled. Clears body armor easily and good distance from the body. No issues sitting or when in car driving. Thigh strap included, very big plus. Saves you time and struggle to find an aftermarket thigh strap or drop kit. Drawing from gun without the thigh strap can cause the holster to move a bit, hindering the draw. Thigh strap on recommended. Could use an extended thumb release option for people with short thumbs. Hood won’t open if thumb release isn’t pressed down fully. Minor thing that could be corrected with practice. Custom hood instead of throwing on a Safariland one, also big plus. Retention screws also have a very good range for your preferred draw.

    Following up on my experience. I had a issue with the retention strap being slightly short and contacting my hammer on P227. Contacted customer service. They started a new holster even before I had time to send the holster back. 4 days later I recieved the new holster and it is perfect. Excellent holster and fantastic customer service. 10 stars

  • Light bearing duty holster for P320 5

    Posted by Al on Jan 21, 2020

    Well made. Tight but slick presentation. Height is good and slight outward cant clears plate carrier nicely. Gunslinger tie down keeps the holster from flopping up on the draw. Nicely done. Pricey but worth it.

    Posted by Michael on Jan 21, 2020

    I received this holster for my P227. Everything is beautiful. I have had trouble finding a holster for my duty gun that I really like. When I recieved the holster everything was fantastic except the secure strap was about 1/8 in to short and was hitting the hammer. I contacted Dara and they had a replacement holster redone and in the mail in a few days. Obviously their customer service is only second to the holster quality. Will be recommending them to anyone I know looking for holsters

    When my department said we had to go to weapon mounted lights i was bummed because the holster offerings were so bulky...until I found Dara. Perfect fit with my G17 gen4 and Inforce APL gen3. Slim and as small as a light bearing holster could possibly be. I love the thumb operated hood firing mechanism. Highly recommended!
