Default Roy's Leather

LH Roy's Basketweave Pancake for Walther PPK. This pancake doesn't even look like it was ever used, very difficult to place pistol in it. I really like the color of this one. Shown with 1966 9mm Kurz PPK,probably from the Rod & Gun Club in Germany.

When I bought my first S&W, a four inch Model 19, in 1978, I bought a Roy Baker Pancake Holster for it. Later that year I was sworn as a reserve deputy sheriff in my home county and I bought a 2.5 inch Model 19-3 and another Roy Baker Pancake. In early 1979 I became a state law enforcement agent and my first issued gun, a Model 66-2, 2.5 inch was issued with a Roy Baker Pancake holster. I was very impressed with how the holster made the gun disappear when concealed and how well it distributed the weight.

Over the years I have picked up a few more for S&W J, K, and N Frames and a few for 1911's. Having had holsters made by many of the commercial holster makers and more than a few made by custom holster makers, I have to say I still think the Roy Baker Pancake is the best, at least for me, holster for concealment.

I'm not trying to corner the market on them, but I do pick them up when I find one.

Nice collection you have there.

I haven't carried with this one yet, probably should to get the PPK fitted. I really do like the way they are made. They're are out there but like any other maker they are few and far between for us lefty's.

My son was graciously given a Roy Baker holster by our beloved forum brother lawandorder. It has quickly become one of his favorites because he is a big dirt bike and ATV rider and the holster keeps his .22 secure when he flips his dirt bike jumping ditches and pulling stunts that I don’t want to know about, much less watch!

+1 from another Roy's Pancake Holster fan.

That is a beauty. I wanted one with an open top and looked for quite
a while, but finally found it. My Colt's Agent with Craig Spegel stocks
are in it. Notice it was made for 3" barrel and my Agent has only 2"
barrel. But not to worry. As Red told me that extra inch will tend to
keep the top heavy revolver from tipping outward. Roy should have
made his revolver pancakes with the cylinder right at belt level.

Notice above in WCCPHD's post most of the revolver pancakes
have the cylinder well above the belt line.

Years ago I had Roy's pancake holsters for J-frames, Model 39, and PPK.
I agree wholeheartedly with Bill--one of the best concealment holsters ever made.
