Pancake Holster

It clears not bad. The picture of the pistol in the holster is not exactly the best. I realized after that the gun was not all the way in. The rear adjustable sight actually sits just at the top edge of the pocket. I had attached a dowel from the front sight to the rear sight. I didn't do a great job of attaching it and during the molding it moved around so much I pulled it off. After stitching up the holster it was very tight so I wetted the front panel again and reworked the pocket, as well as strapped it down to get the overall curve as when I originally put on a belt and strapped on my hip the pistol was hard to pull from the holster. By rewetting this is solved and the gun fits snug but is easily pulled.

I'll give you the same recommendation I give my customers on break in. Wear it. Nothing else. That flat back will wrap around and break into your carry position on your hip and the gun with body heat and a bit of sweat in a day of wearing it. I tell folks to wear it around the house until they are comfortable with it. A guy emailed to complain about how tight the holster was a while back, told him the same thing, 8 hours later I got an email telling me it was the most comfortable holster he's ever worn. IMO, it's better to have it break in on the body than pre forming it. YMMV and all that.
