Dara Holsters & Gear Inc. was founded in January 2012 by Jon Dara. It all started when Jon was looking for a concealed carry holster. He couldn't find one that suited his needs, each one he tried lacked a fundamental quality he wanted for his everyday carry. Eventually he decided to try and make his own. After some research, Jon ordered a few sheets of Kydex and some hardware. The first Dara Holster was made in a tiny wooden shed using a toaster oven, and pressed by Jon standing on top of two 2x6s with foam in between.
Once Jon started wearing his first hand made holster, his friends started to take notice. Within weeks, Jon had sold over a dozen holsters and realized he should probably continue doing so. Alas, Dara Holsters was born. After creating thousands of holsters in an 8' x 12' shed, Dara Holsters moved to a new 1200+ sq. ft. building in the beginning of 2014. We are located in Knightdale, North Carolina. All products are handmade, hand pressed (not by standing on them), and hand polished, as well as fit tested before shipping out to ensure quality.
We only create holsters that we personally carry. Every product is back by a 100% guarantee and a lifetime no BS warranty.
