Roy Baker Pancake holsters

Register to hide this ad
The first holster I bought for my first gun, a model 19 four inch, was a Roy Baker Pancake. When I went to work for the state in 1979 I was issued a Model 66-1, 2.5 inch and a Roy Baker Pancake to carry it in.

I've been a fan since at least 1978. I've bought a few since then. I find them to be everything you need and nothing you don't. They can make a big, heavy gun disappear and make you forget you are carrying it.

 
The only fault I can find with Roy Baker's holsters is being first with the
pancake it took him a while to learn, if he ever did, that the loaded cylinder
should not ride above the belt or it will tend to tip, or sag, outward, like
the picture on the left.

Later makers learned to make them with the cylinder right at belt level
or below, like the example 2nd from left, by KD holsters.
