Default Thinking of a Lobo Enhanced Pancake for my 2.5" 686

Hey guys,

I have a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake for my 2.5" M66 which I like a lot but I want to give a different holster a try. I really like the look of the Lobo Enhanced pancake.

Does anyone use one for a 2.5" 686? If so do you like it? Also, how much cant does it have?

Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Person

I have acouple of enhanced pancakes from Lobo, one for a Colt DS and another for a S&W M&P40c and they are as good as any leather I have worn in the last 45 years of packin a gun for a livin.

Nice boning, holster rides high and tight and the gun disappears with little effort. I enjoy both of mine plus I have a regular Lobo pancake for a 3" 65 and it carries well. Comfortable, quick into action and easily concealed.

I have seen nothing but positive remarks about the enhanced pancake.

I've been looking into a bunch of different leather holsters for quite some time.

I don't have a Lobo, but I have received a number of strong recommendations for their holsters, fwtw.

Everything I've seen says that the Lobo products are top notch.

I have a Lobo enhanced pancake for a 686 3" and it is great. The cant is just right it rides high and is very concealable under a jacket or loose shirt tails out. High quality of workmanship, and feels just right when wearing it. I have ordered a second enhanced pancake for a 5906.

Here is a shot of the Lobo Enhanced Pancake for my 649 (2 1/8" barrel), and I love it. It rides high and tight at 3 to 3:30 and does not print. At 3 or just a tad forward it remains very accessible even when driving and belted in.

Does anyone have a Lobo gun belt? How do you like it? How does it compare with a Beltman belt? Thanks.

I have an Enhanced Pancake holster from Lobo for a model 19, 2.5 inch. The holster is first rate quality and is the most comfortable holster I have ever used.

I also have a Lobo gunbelt and the quality of it is excellent. I can't compare it to a Beltman belt as I have never had one but I can tell you the belt I have from Lobo is great.

I liked the Lobo Enhanced Pancake I bought for my M&P 340 so much, I bought a second one for my PC 627 UDR.
