(Dang it! Forgot to include my Simply Rugged Sourdough.)
I like pancakes with a good gunbelt. I think with a pancake, the cylinder is typically above the belt, and a good belt — above is an old Rosen — is needed to hold the holster/gun securely and comfortably.
Had to edit to thank everyone for the likes. Took a quick look, and besides the 3" K frame holster shown, I have the same model holster from EPS for a Colt Commander, Glock 19, and a Ruger Standard Auto .22.
Like the pancakes. I carried my 64 2" in one for many years. It was made by a fellow cop on the force back in the 1970's. Bottom was open so you could carry your 4" Model 10 duty revolver if needed. Still going strong.
From left to right:
DeSantis 82 for S&W x69 and square guard 6904/6906.
DeSantis 002-83 for S&W round guard 59/x59/69xx/59xx.
Gould & Goodrich B29L - 39 for S&W square guard x59/x69/590x, my first pancake.
Gould & Goodrich B29L- 645 For S&W 645.
Hmmmm, there seems to be a pattern with my pancakes.
I bought this when I lived in Alabama many decades ago. I didn’t know who Thad Rybka was but I liked this holster.
The TR is faint, it’s just to the right of the stitching on the right side.
I'm a Kramer Horsehide Leather fan myself and have been for many years. I've got a bunch of his holsters, belts, pouches and cartridge carriers. I wouldn't think of using anything else for a CCW/EDC. With minimal care, they last pretty much forever and I've never had one wear out or stretch out.
