I bought a dara duty holster and double mag pouch and am completely satisfied with it. I've had several of this type and yours is the best. It fits my pistol perfectly and the mags and looks great to boot. When I need more holsters or mag pouches, I will go to Dara. Thanks , Larry

Duty Holster
5/5
Dara did a fantastic job making my custom Level II duty holster for my Walther Creed. With the Creed as new as it is none of the other larger companies even thought about creating a holster for it, but Dara took the challenge and ran with it. The fit was tight and secure and at a great price. If I had to make even one negative about it would be that there is no "basketweave" finish. I purchased the carbon fiber finish and it's about as close as it gets. Still an excellent product, outstanding customer support and I have recommended to many of my coworkers.

Great Holster
5/5
I received the holster as stated and was very impressed. It is perfectly designed and manufactured. The attention to detail is awesome. Passed my Departments requirements with no problems. My weapon fit like a glove. Very comfortable to wear and to draw from. This will save my back from a lot of pain. Thanks for developing such a great product. I look forward to using it for many years.

Excellent fit and quality

This is my 2nd Dara holster and I got this one for my S&W 5906. The fit is excellent and the retention can be adjusted with the screw setting to allow you to customize the pull weight. The quality and finish is very good, so no complaints at all.

Creed duty holster.
5/5
Perfect fit for the new Walther Creed. Exactly as described. Price was reasonable and delivery time was precisely as promised. My first Dara holster but will not be the last. Dara was the only maker to offer a duty holster specifically for the Creed at the time I ordered.

Got the lvl 2 duty holster for my sig 1911 emperor scorpion with a viridian laser, and wow I was surprised by how well it formed around! My sig is snug and happy. Also love the thumb throw and also the black leather texture looks real. From ordering online to my door step in Oregon it took two months which was the downside, besides that 5 stars any day!

Best holsters I've found.

I just bought this Level 2 Duty Holster, my 2nd holster from Dara. These are great products. Custom build wait times, but well worth the wait. I have a few pieces of furniture on my Glock 20, and the holster is a perfect fit. It will stand up to years of abuse. I recommend Dara to my friends.

Just What I needed
5/5
Arrived 5 days ago and is just what I need. I ordered a 22.5 degree forward cant for my everyday OWB here on the ranch and range. This holster is slim enough to Conceal Carry everyday in the colder months and possibly in Summer heat. I can ride my quad or motorcycle with out worrying about losing my firearm and also sitting with little discomfort.Very well made holster, Don A.

Worth tha wait
5/5
I have a Walther ppq 45 and was having a very hard time finding a good retention holster. My Duty Holster for my Glock 21 I carry at work is a Safariland and I wanted something similar for my personal carry 45 because I don't want to have to have to think about what I'm doing too much if I get in an, " oh shit " moment. I ordered the level 2 from Dara back in September. I have an attached Crimson trace rail master and didn't want to have to remove it to carry in a retention holster. A rather well built level 2 custom holster arrived in the mail the other day that was built just for my setup. Have to say that I am very pleased with the job Dara did. It looks great and functions perfectly. When I am in the market for another holster, I'm coming back to Dara! Great work and well worth the wait!

I have a box full of holsters that were supposed to fit my pistol and myself, but always had to dig out the cheap nylon one that I hate only because it fits, sort of. well now I finally have a holster that fits both me and my pistol.

Excellent Product and Service
5/5
Don't make the same mistake I did! I forgot to specify that I use a left handed mag-release on my PPQ (with the mag release button on the right-hand side of the grip.) Consequently, whenever I holstered my pistol the mag would jump out!
Fortunately, the great folks at Dara's kindly fixed my problem quickly and at no extra charge.
Great holster, holds my pistol nice and snug and tough enough to hold up when it lives in my range bag.

ALL THAT AND CUSTOM MADE IN THE USA
5/5
I shopped long and hard before deciding on Dara Holsters. I exchanged emails with the company and they responded quickly. I liked the personalized customer service.
They made six custom holsters for me and every one of them was perfect. And all this for less than the cost of a mass produced holster.
Quality takes time. There is a lead time, but that is to be expected with a custom holster. These holsters are well worth the wait.

Fantastic Duty Holster!
5/5
Best duty holster I have had to date. Fit like a glove right out of the box. Excellent trigger guard coverage and the retention mechanism is adjustable to your taste. Perfection! Way to go Dara. Keep up the good work. Those who uphold the laws of our nation are grateful for quality like this.

Very Solid Holster
5/5
This holster is very stiff and does not flex like other kydex brands. The craftsmanship is top notch and the belt attachment is really solid. The level-II strap has just the right amount resistance behind it to draw the pistol with ease and still retain the firearm. Highly recommend this product.

Level 2 duty holster for HK VP40
5/5
I needed a duty holster for my HK VP40 and ran across Dara Holsters. I selected the mid ride option and the TLR 1 HL options as well. It did take a while for me to get the holster (5 weeks) but that's because they make the holster just for your gun. The holster fits perfect on my 1.75 inch 5.11 rigger belt. With the gun in the holster it was super light and almost feels like its not even on my hip. The gun makes absolutely no noise in the holster. It is very secure, and the retention is tight but the thimb break is not difficult. Overall 5/5 product and I'm very satisfied.

Well worth the wait
5/5
Ordered a custom holster for my Sig M11 A1. Not a common pistol, so I felt like I was taking a chance on it fitting just so. I needn't have worried. The fit was perfect. It was like they had my pistol at their shop and custom fit the holster. If your pistol is not a common one, be sure to list any special features and include a photo.
Also, I was concerned about the estimated wait time. How long would it really take? But they were spot on there too.
Not to mention made in the USA. What more could you want? I will be ordering one for every pistol I have.

The holster had an excellent fit and finish. The Kydex is top quality. The retention system utilized is easy to operate and clicks back into place in a positive fashion.

Perfect for my S&W Shield
5/5
My employer required a minimum of level II holster - I could not find one for my S&W Shield with laser. Only one available was from Dara. It took a few weeks, but was expected. I received it last week and it works great - Solid construction. Feels like it will last a lifetime.

Great holster for Walther PPQ 5 inch
5/5
Was considering the safariland but ended up going with DARA...definetely the correct decision! This holster is very well-made and way stronger than anything else I've seen. Honestly it's pretty easy to conceal with a long shirt despite it being a duty holster for a large handgun. For all my future purchases I'm going with dara. Sure it takes longer to receive a custom holster, but it's well worth the wait

This is my 3rd Dara holster. All three have been perfect for fit, finish and comfort. The Dara level II retains the firearm securely yet is still allows for fast deployment.

Good holster, sturdy construction. My only criticism, the retention screw protrudes through the back of the holster if the screw is tightened. I'm concerned it'll snag on clothing. Took five weeks to receive it.

great holster done to perfection
5/5
I ordered a carbon fiber holster for a glock 18 to start. I had an issue where my vest would keep opening the hood so my gun was able to be removed by anyone. I was not happy but sent an email with the problem and was sent a return label promptly. Beside that I was told that it would be fixed and sent back and it was in a timely manner. Merry Christmas to me I ordered two other holsters built to the new specs and I received all three on Christmas Eve. Great looking and functioning product Thanks to the Dara team.

Fantastic!

The fit n finish of this holster was better than I could have expected.
First, finding a holster that wasn't a compromise in one way or another was hard. Second I am left handed, so that added to it, and third, we were fitting a Walther PPX!
This was a great find on all counts, and I have no issues referring anyone here knowing they won't be disappointed.

Great Product and Company
5/5
Dara Holsters has created and produced a great holster, that can accommodate any style of firearm, and offers every possible option you could want. It's hard to find the right holster for your firearm, and there are a lot of variants to think of when selecting one. Such as cant of the firearm, weapon lights/lasers, and height of the holster on your waist. Dara Holsters offers it all, and in my case, I owned a weapon light previously not listed on their website, after getting contact with their great customer service rep. Dana, they purchased it just to create the custom holster that I needed for my duty belt rig, I own and carry a CZ P-07 Duty 9mm. and as far as after market products go, this particular firearm has a very limited market. Dara Holster is one of those rare companies out there who's focus'es on their customers, and if they don't have what you are looking for they will go out of their way to make sure they get your business.
Awesome company with and awesome product.

Smooth Draw, perfect fit
5/5
Custom made for my Walther PPQ M2 5". NO one makes holster for it much less a duty holster. This is my day to day Duty holster and perfect for the job. Clears my sights, smooth draw, doesn't scratch my sidearm and makes for a perfect fit. The only thing I would change, is the thumb release for the level II Duty Holster. It puts your hand in an awkward position for a grab and draw. I would like to change it to the thumb press similar to the Safariland. The thumb press level II allows you to grip your gun and release the retention in one motion.

BEST duty holster ever
5/5
I am a Deputy Sheriff in central Iowa. I bought a TLR-4 light for my duty Glock 22. The hard part was finding a new holster. NONE of the big name company's made a holster that would fit the light attachment. I even checked out other custom build sights and same thing. Luckily I came across Dara holsters!!! They can custom fit anything. I was a little nervous when I ordered but I can honestly say I will ONLY order from them now on. My gun/light fit in perfect. My duty belt is noticeably lighter because kydex is thinner/lighter than leather. For $4 more I added the carbon fiber texture and it looks awesome. Matches the basketweave design with the rest of my belt. Also with the design of their double loop belt attachment the holster fits much closer to my side, which I love. It is a very fast draw as well. I will be buying the double mag carrier and a few IWB holsters very soon. THANKS DARA HOLSTERS!!!

I love this holster! The fit is amazing. Took the full five weeks to make it and received it on week six, but you can tell that it is truly made for your firearm; fully adjustable tension and spent a few extra to get the carbon fiber for an amazing look.

The Best
5/5
My name is Mike I've been in Law Enforcement 18 plus years. In my years I have heat up most duty holsters on the market and felt with the companies that make them. I have also learned to work smarter not harder. So when I was looking to replace my duty holster, that just gave up on life. I looked at DARA. I'm glad I did. I asked for something they didn't even carry. I was sent the holster and right off the bat I was impressed. It held my weApon securly and solid. The workmanship was as perfect as you can get. Now I did have one problem I needed my space between me and the holster( jacket slogans offset). Jon hand made the attachment I needed. Now understand they didn't even offer this attachment. He made it, and tested over a weekend. This holster is the first one that I can honestly say is exactly what I wanted. I hope they offer this attachment to the rest of you. If not I will own the only one made by DARA! I dare anyone to out do the customer service this company has it can't be done. Thank you DARA! Look forward to do more business with you.

New duty holster
5/5
I am very pleased with my holster. I wanted a holster with a more simple retention system than a level 3 holster. This holster fills the bill. I am even more impressed with the customer service. I had ordered my pistol with a carbon fiber finish. The pistol came with a mat finish. I called Dara holsters. This was on a Thursday. Monday morning I had a new holster in my mail box. You can't beat customer service like that.

Great Holster, The only company out there that is building custom level II holsters for the CZ PO7. I received mine only to find that it was right handed, when I had ordered a left handed holster. I called Dara, and the issue was resolved very quickly. They sent me a shipping label and the holster was sent back to me in a days time. Great product even better customer service.

I took a chance ordering a custom holster from Dara, as I couldn't find many reviews on their products. REALLY glad I did. I ordered an OWB Level II Duty holster. Solid construction, perfect fit, and the thing seems like it'll take a beating. Their communication about my order was quick and helpful as well.

This was the most affordable holster I could find for my Mark23, and on top of that, it was completely customizable. The quality of the work is perfect, I can't find even the smallest of blemishes in the finish. I also like that there isn't a lot of excess trim that you usually see with kydex holsters. I'm beyond satisfied and will definitely do business again.

I recently bought a Glock 41 with a TLR-1 to carry on duty, only problem was that nobody made a holster for it yet. I contacted the guys at Dara holsters and within a month they had one made and shipped to my department, when other companies were saying it would take them years!! The holster is great quality and it fits like a glove.
