I don't want to make this point too forcibly because I meant no offence to the OP or the maker. But the pancake has been improved greatly since it was introduced as a right hand / left hand Innovation 50 years ago. Notably modern makers beginning with Gallagher at ******* made it asymmetrical so that the tension of the waistbelt would not clamp the holster shut after the draw. And create drag during the draw plus make it darn near impossible to holster.
Also today's pancakes are strapless. The thumb snap invention of 1958 is poorly suited to autos. The tab is too high up and also brushes off the thumb Safety. And a falling hammer is likely to push the strap forward and away from the firing pin in the slide.
Most all newbie makers are copying a past they don't understand. But I'm sure you can use this copy in good health with an enhanced appreciation of the old design's limitations.
Folks who buy Threepersons and Brills are revelling in the past with guns created in the late 19th century and the 1911 early in the 20th. The good rules for gunleather THEN don't apply 100 years later.
