Outstanding information, thank you all. Seems like I was wearing it too far forward, for one thing. The revolver is a 4 inch Ruger, not small. Also, I'll give it some more break-in time.

Thanks TAM for the heads up about the replies, and the pics.

I appreciate the replies so far. Just to add something, one of my main issues is that it makes it almost impossible to sit down. If folks don't mind saying, what clock position on your body do you wear your pancake holster?

Okay, so I've seen I don't know how many pancake type holsters out there, but never owned one before. I read reviews and how much people liked them. I somehow got it into my head that pancake was the way to go. So, I ordered one for a full-size revolver from a custom maker. It wasn't break the bank expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap, either. However, once I got it, and put it on, I found it to be rather uncomfortable. It's hard to position relative to my belt loops (and yes, I got a real gunbelt from the same maker). Also, it seems that the stiff gunbelt doesn't conform very well to the shape of the holster, effectively making the gunbelt about an inch shorter than it's actual length. So, I'm wondering now what everyone finds so great about them, or what I am doing wrong in wearing it. Any suggestions, constructive feedback, or personal experience with pancake holsters would be appreciated. Thanks.
