Smile Pancake Holster

My favorite carry is OWB pancake style holsters.
Does any manufacturer offer this style holster in other materials other than leather.
By the time a leather holster stops "Creaking" it is loose and flabby.
I also like a "Pull Over" safety strap or "Thumb Break" as with a leather pancake with negative restraining strap when it "Ages" it no longer holds the weapon securely.
Thanks
Jimmy

I use a kydex Blackhawk holster for my auto. It has a finger release on it, and I like it very much. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

Raven concealment systems makes a holster with thumb break option.I have not tried their thumb break but I have used their Phantom for a glock with mounted light for years.It holds weapon in tight to side.

Jimmy, The attached pics may be what you are looking for. They are of my DeSantis holster for my Kahr K9. It is ambi and the thumb snap safety can be set up for either right of left handed shooter, obviously mine is set up for a lefty. I have had the holster for several years (1994 time frame). I have worn it quite a bit over the years but prefer leather and have a Lobo Modified Avenger. The belt loops are elastic but have held their shape and strength. Not sure if DeSantis stil makes these but you might want to give them a shout. Stay safe.
