Everyone pretty much knows what a pancake, . . . Tom 3 persons, . . . snapcake, . . . Rhodesian, . . . SOB, . . . cross breed, . . . and other holsters are called.

What is the nomenclature for a pancake that does not have holes punched for the belt, . . . but instead has a short belt tunnel on each side of the gun?

I have seen them in pictures, . . . never in person, . . . decided to make one, . . . have no idea what to call it.  Slip cake?  Slide cake?

Anyway, . . . just wondered.

May God bless,

(Actually, Dwight, I have no idea what those other terms mean, it took me ages to figure out pancake wasn't something you eat!).

Should you call it a fudge-cake holster? Depends.......

Still a pancake.  

A "pancake" with belt slots is not called a "slot pancake".  You'll see "IWB" holsters which are nothing more than a pancake with belt LOOPS instead of belt SLOTS.  

A building which collapses down on teh floor below is said to "pancake".. simply meaning two layers slapped together (as a flapjack would be).

Each his own, but I'm not seeing the benefit of this "channel" between layers.  Either way, the thickness is the same (two layers of holster plus the belt) and you're relying on ONE layer of the holster to retain its position on the belt instead of both layers.   In other words, marketing ...

IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
