BlackHawk 3-Slot Pancake Holster

The BlackHawk 3-Slot Pancake Holster is constructed of premium leather and molded Kydex. This holster combines the benefits of three holsters in one, giving you the option of inside-the-pants, tuckable or belt-mounted wear. No matter how you choose to wear it, each design will contour to your body for exceptional comfort and concealment. Leather manufacturers in Italy are well-known for producing extremely high-end products. Blackhawk uses premium vegetable-tanned Italian cowhide leather – the finest material on the market today. Each holster receives a natural finish from a plant-based “tannin” compound used for the tanning process. The leather is then drum dyed: placed in a huge barrel-shaped drum and tumbled with the dye for 24 to 48 hours. This forces the dye into the leather for long-lasting results. Blackhawk holsters are contour stitched; the holsters are built by closely stitching along the outline of the pistol. Not only does this result in a better fit and appearance, but it’s one of the telling marks of a well-made leather holster. Leather holsters were traditionally shaped to a particular pistol with a small animal bone. Modern metal or plastic tools have replaced bones, but the term – and the technique – is still used, giving Blackhawk holsters a sculpted outline. As a final touch, the BlackHawk Pancake Holster is hand-polished use a finishing cream to seal in the dye and create a nice lustrous shine.
