I have tired several OWB for my M&P Shield and was not happy with any of them. After my search for a better holster.I ordered a DARA holster and after a short wait it arrived I was just what i had been searching for. I will no longer buy off the shelf holsters. I will order from DARA what i need.

Great quality holster for my Glock 40 MOS. It allows for reflex sight. Production time was very long, a little over 6 weeks! But the fitting and quality are amazing. Great look and adjustable retention.

Top grade material, best quality kydex holster I own.Carries gun snug and draws fast.Will order again!

Looking for a custom holster for the new Walther Q5? Look no further; solid, comfortable design and engineering.

I recommend the holster,verry light and durable so happy about the product.

Great holster for competition or general owb use with a coat or jacket. Solid retention with very fast draw. Love it!

Bought 2 holsters one for VP9 &HK 45 . Very nice holsters

As I prefer minimalist gear, I ordered this one for EDC, and the possibility of competition down the road. Turns out it's a not enough of a hugger to be a great CC holster, but stability could be improved with the double loop, which I might order. If the double loop (or even single) were reversed 180 degrees, it would be a hugger, and much better for EDC (a redesign of the loop would allow it to work either way, and reversed, would get you another 1/2 inch closer to the body). I was also not expecting the retention to be on the barrel end (typically on the trigger guard) which I fear will cause premature wear. I'm probably wrong, and I know this holster was not specifically designed for EDC, but for competition. Slightly revised, this particular holster would be an outstanding minimalist EDC holster. Overall...exceptional quality, exceptional fit and finish, snug as a bug, and really fast on target. Can't ask for more than that. Customer service was excellent with Dana at the helm, and shipping was very close to promised date. Highly recommended product for intended use. Nothing but good things to say about this great little company. Great work, guys.

I recently acquired a Walther Q5 match to use as a Carry Optics/Limited gun in USPSA. While they have been on the market for a while now, the availability of holsters for it is slim to say the least. Through a person I follow on social medai (Michelle Jean - Team Walther Shooter/all around bad ass) I saw a few posts about Dara. As my options were limited, I jumped on as fast as I could. In fact, I believe my order was placed the day before I picked up my pistol. While the lead time had me a little weary because I was anxious to get out and run the new rig, I trusted that it was worth it and had a buddy press me a temporary one in his shop to pass the time. It worked well but I was excited to get my Custom Action Holster from Dara. Lead time was accurate. I believe I was quoted at 3-5 weeks and it was 4, to my doorstep. First, thank you for not crimping the entire packaging. No body likes that and whomever invented it should be punished. Item ships in a standard box with a product description, a thank you from Dara, and a promise of quality in their "if ANYTHING goes wrong" call us guarantee. Finish is great. No sharp corners or rough edges. Smooth lines and good detail on the outside of the rig with a thickness that translates into great retention, stiffness, and speed on the draw. The inside looks polished and smooth with nothing to catch or mar the frame/slide. The Q5 runs a Hi Viz style taller-than-average front sight and the channel provided in the holster guarantees it won't get hung up on the draw. Two rubber-spacer retention screws allow the user to adjust for different levels of retention but I found that the way it came was perfect and have decided not to touch it unless it loosens up at some point. I was a little leery of the belt loop as I've always run a Blade-Tech Tek Lok system but, at 1.5" (also available in 1.75") it is perfect on my Black Scorpion Gear two piece belt and has screws to accommodate different belt thicknesses. This past Sunday, 11.6.16, I was finally able to get it out to a match to test how it performed on the move. Retention is fantastic. Not once while hustling around the courses of fire was I even the slightest bit concerned about the firearm coming loose. Without the Tek Lok and drop offset that I was used to, I was having to draw from a little higher but as it turns out, I'm a bit faster out of the holster, and consequently on to target, that way and didn't know it. Re-Holstering is easy and the audible and tactile snap when it gets set in great for assurance of safety. In summary, while I don't plan on doing so anytime soon, if I were to start running a new setup, I'll be sticking with Dara Holsters for the foreseeable future. Great product, Great Customer Service, Great Company. I'll be ordering the IWB Appendix setup soon for my EDC PPQ M1 and can't wait to try it out so, Dana.....expect more questions.

Tried several holsters for my Walther PPQ but never satisfied until now. The Dara holster is not only well made but fits perfectly with perfect functionality. Wish I had discovered them sooner!

perfect custom fit for little more than an off-the-shelf Kydex holster. Well worth the money and wait.

Works fine. Particularly like the front cut out - makes drawing quicker and easier. Holstering is easier also. This is quite a change for me. Previously carried an Officer Model in a Milt Sparks BN - since 1996. Good product.

Best Klydex holster I have, and I have many from other manufactures. Fit and finish is excellent. Holds the weapon in like a tight fitting glove. I have received two custom holsters from Dara and one more has been ordered. There is a long wait time but it's well worth the wait for a quality holster. It amazes me that Dara makes holsters for so many different types of guns, even the very hard to get ones. The customer service is top notch. I emailed a message after closing hours about a custom race holster and they got back to me the next day. If you want a quality top of the line superb fitting custom holster and can wait the the time it takes to make, I recommend a Dara custom holster.

well made - fine detail - good fit

I discovered DARA about 6 months ago. This most recent holster is my third holster from DARA and all have been very quality built and finished holsters. I have been using one of them in USPSA competition for the past three months and it has worked great. I had to modify my Bladetech DOS to accept the DARA but both have held up very well. I have been asked and I highly recommend DARA holsters to other shooters.

This is holster is a minimalist dream. It holds the pistol solid and allows for a quick draw because of the cut away design. I highly recommend it. The edges are smooth and polished so there are no sharp edges as well.

quality product. only downside is that it takes way to long to receive. 6 weeks. overall i would recommend Dara holsters. customer service is great also.

Fit and finish is excellent. Top quality holster. Thank you.

First thing, I had to get authorization from my agency to use this holster for Concealment Operations. Just be aware that there is no retention devices for securing your weapon with this model except a tension screw and your own awareness protection. This holster model is an awesome concealment and fast draw use holster. I have a Surefire XC1 pistol mount light and the molding for this light is superb. Dara has outdone themselves with this design, all pros and only one con being retention devices, but that's more of an agency issue than a user issue. I highly recommend this model and support Dara with friends and coworkers....

I haven't had a chance to use this holster in competition yet, but the fit and finish is absolutely top notch and the retention of my G19 Gen 4 is perfect! The clip fits my 1.5" Beltman belt perfectly, and it would be nearly impossible for the holster to come off the belt accidentally, although it's very easy to remove when I need to. Can't wait to use this baby in my next IDPA match and I have no doubt that it's going to shave a little time off my scores.

I ordered the action sport holster for my Glock 41 and it fits like a glove. It also fits my Glock 17 with suppressor sights. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I will be ordering a light bearing model in the future.

I really like this holster. The fit and finish are awesome. I am very pleased that I was able to order it with the features that I wanted for the same price as others charge for their "cookie cutter' style holster. I highly recommend this holster!!!

This is hands down the best holster for action pistol. The quality is there, and the fitment is perfect. I have confidence and speed in the holding of the pistol and the draw. Will be ordering more in the future. Thank you for a great product at a great price. Make mine Dara!

I have several of the Dara holster. I carry a firearm 12-16 a day. It has to keep the firearm in the same position, it has to hold the firearm securely, and should draw smoothly. My Daras do all of that, and more. It is as comfortable as possible, considering that it's hanging a pound to two pounds off your waist. Every one who sees mine is impressed by the quality, and looks.

The custom action sport holster is exactly what I've been looking for in a general range use/IDPA/training class holster. I've tried several different brands and models before finding this one, but I can stop looking now. I'm very pleased with the way it fits me and the position the pistol is carried, as well as the level of retention it offers. It seems to be a very durable design and made from quality materials, but I've only had it a few days. Overall, I'd gladly recommend this for anyone that needs an OWB holster.

This holster arrived as advertised and works perfectly. Great company! Would definitely recommend.

I purchased a Custom Action Sport OWB holster for my Glock 26 with a Crimson Trace 436 laser. The fit is precise but the retention could be better. Cut "B" would have been a better choice in this application. The holster's paddle is rather small it would better if it were more like Fobus'. This is the second holster I've purchased from Dara, the other being for my Glock 30 with a Crimson Trace 206 Rail Master. The retention on that holster is more secure. If you have a handgun with lasers or lights, Dara is IMO one of your best holster options. Dara lets you have it your way. ****Please remember that the retention on all holsters is completely adjustable.

Very pleased with this holster. I would have to say it's the best fitting holster I own and I have many.

I received this holster yesterday and was very happy and impressed with the product. It fit my gun perfectly! The folks at DARA were very helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this holster to everyone looking for a OWB holster. I will definitely be a return customer.

I know that is the headline a giddy kid would post but tht is what I felt like when I opened the package. This is the first holster I have been able to purchase where I was able to pick everything I wanted. I had requested a carbon fiber finished holster for a Sig P226 Ext with a TLR-1S and the decocker for the SRT. Probably not all that easy to mold for. What I got in return was a beautiful holster that fits my favorite pistol like a glove. It's retention is perfect, it aesthetically flatters the finish of the Extreme model and everything inand of itself is perfect. The only issue I had was on my side with not having patience. Regardless, they were very patient with me, gave me accurate estimates on completion and it ended up getting to me before then. You won't be disappointed. My next purchase is the car holster system and that will be from Dara as well

Very nice quality and the fit for the VP9 is perfect. Used it for the first time at the range today and it was exactly what I wanted and need. It's great to have superior source for us lefties.

I use this holster for my carry gun. The adjustable cant double belt loop is one of the best features. I find it holds my gun very well without flopping around compared to single belt loop. I don't care for the pancake holsters so this was perfect for me. I like it so much I ordered a holster for my other gun and more mag carriers.

Ordered this for my H&K VP9. Received within the time-frame given. Top quality construction. Used in an "Action Pistol" match yesterday. Holds well. Draws well. The belt loop is very tight but does fit my Bianchi leather belt. Will buy again from DARA.

Solid material. It fits my Sig Sauer P320 compact perfectly. It is very slim and fits close to the body to will allow for concealment with a light sweater or jacket.

Totally customized holster for my new Walther CCP with Multiple options allowing a truly individualized end product, handmade with the highest quality materials and superb customer service to guide you through the entire design process from start to finish and completely US bred.

this is my first non leather holster and I am very impressed. perfect fit and it is a cross draw and this keeps the gun handle tight against my body where I want it. I ordered another holster for a different gun the same day I received this one.

I never heard of DARA before. Tried several kydex makers. One very good and several poor. Took a chance, as they offered a great looking OWB kydex for my new Sig 224 9mm. All I can say is "wow" Great fit, price.

I purchased the holster in Red and it looks amazing. It clean and smooth, the belt loop and clip on work great. Everything is high quality. It is now my favorite holster!

Met these folks at the Raleigh show and they were very friendly and helpful.. They were sold out of the one I wanted (now that i have it I know why) so they took my order and shipped it to me within two weeks.. The holster is awesome and fits my glock 17 like a glove.. It has tension screws to adjust the hold strength and man it looks so cool.. I will buy all my holsters from these folks.. Anyone want to buy some serpas..? I wont be needing them anyomre ;0)

Very pleased with the holster a perfect fit for my laser sight couldn't be happier with the purchase

Very well made. I am very pleased with it. My 5" S&W Pro fits perfectly. Easy to holster..easier to draw.

I ordered the black carbon fiber owb with the paddle option on black Friday. The notice on website said it was past deadline for Christmas delivery. But the day after Christmas there it was. Awesome holster just like I was expecting. It looked just like the pictures. I will be ordering again.

Great product, outstanding workmanship.

This holster took a few weeks to arrive and it was worth every moment. High quality product...their customer service is second to none - excellent response by the team and very 'pro active' in assisting the customer. You will not be disappointed with their product.

Wow what a beauty! Holster was not only very aesthetically pleasing.... but it also fit my HK p2000sk like a glove. I own many holsters this is my new favorite. The quality and workmanship at DARA holsters is second to none. I ordered the black owb in carbon fiber and absolutely love it! Thanks again DARA crew for a great AMERICAN product.

Very happy with the quality. Excellent fit; gun feels very secure in the holster. Draw is very smooth. I showed the holster to others around my office; at least one guy is planning to make a purchase from Dara soon. Overall, this holster has been perfect for what I needed.

First off the customer service is great.Well worth the wait.Great retention fit and feel.

Trying to find a decent OWB holster for a RugerSR9 is not easy. Dara made one that is well made and works great. It is my holster of choice for USPSA and IDPA shoots.
