De Santis
I sometimes carry my 642 in a De Santis Speed Scabard, rides high and tight. I believe the Speed Scabard would qualify as a pancake style. Inside the waist I go with an Alessi Deep Cover. this holster is new. I have only had it a couple of weeks but I really like it. It is comfortable and I find myself reaching for it every time I go out. I am considering Lobo Leather for a holster for a semi, that will remain unnamed, that I carry in winter. I understand they do good work. I have already been in communications with Ray. He is very quick with answers to my questions.
Holsters seem to be a **** shoot. Unless you have a buddy with the type of holster you think you might like and he lets you barrow it you really don't know how comfortable it is going to feel. I probably have more holsters than guns. Another thing, anytime I have tried to go cheap I didn't like the holster. One exception is a Don Hume JIT slide. It works well for me. Maybe holsters are like optics, get the best you can afford?
