    Level 2 Holster & Mag Holders

    I’ll start off with the fact this is the first review I’ve ever written. From time of order, to time I had the package in hand was 3 days. Ive ran a Blackhawk T series (broke retention components) and a Safariland that wouldn’t accept the light it was designed for due to poor QA on clearance. I ordered the DBL2-L + 2 Spacers w/ leg strap. I’m In police academy and set it up on the belt and went to a range day, then followed up with close quarters fighting scenarios in the back of a school bus and ambulance, not only is it a smooth draw, it looks brand new after being slammed into anything you can think of during the fighting scenarios. Secondly, the auto retention mag holders are awesome. The DM1 mole system for mounting is extremely sturdy, and does not move a 1/8” on the vest. I’ll continue to go with Dara for any gear needs for the phenomenal quality, lifetime warranty, and to support a USA made company.

    Best duty holster on the market.

    I carried a Safariland on my hip for 18 years. I T&E’d a DARA Level 2 Duty Holster, trained with it for three months, and switched every belt/kit I have over to DARA. No brainer.

    Great Holster

    This is my second Dara holster and it’s a quality holster that I feel comfortable and safe with while on patrol. In addition their customer service is top notch and it’s always delivered sooner than expected. Thank you Dara.

    Level 2 light bearing holster.

    I really like the quality of the holster. The only downfall is that my firearm gets “hung up” upon drawing the weapon.

    Dara LVL 2 Light bearing Holster

    This holster fits my P226 Legion perfectly! I love that I was able to get a holster for this handgun that accommodates my SureFire X300U light and a red dot. I also love the modularity of its design and how much it’s supported by all the attachments Dara offers.

    Great Holster!

    Dara Holsters has yet to disappoint. I have several other holsters for multiple platforms, including this level, two light bearing optics, ready holster. If it’s my Glock 17 with my vortex defender XL perfectly. Absolutely no complaints.

    Custom

    Built like a tank, great retention. ODG was a plus. Definitely some thought went into the setup/configuration. Well pleased and USA made was what initially steered me towards DARA.
