Gould & goodrich b803 pancake holster - Gould & Goodrich Three Slot Pancake Concealment OWB Belt Holster

The Gould & Goodrich B803 Three Slot Pancake Holster is first class in material quality and workmanship. I recently purchased two; one for a Glock 19 and one for a Glock 20. On first try right out of the box, both holsters were too tight for the gun. I have the extended, Glock provided beaver tail grip addition on each gun as well as Truglo TFO/TFX sights. These are quality holsters made to fit stock weapons. As noted on the holster instruction sheet, I sprayed the inside of each holster with silicone spray. I worked each gun into its holster and since have always kept the guns in their holsters to get the leather to form fit each. It worked and the guns now fit nicely, allowing the thumb snaps to close with reasonable effort. I appreciate the additional retention of a thumb snap. It definitely provides enhanced safety for carrying a loaded weapon, and a corresponding enhanced comfort in doing so. I tried both the vertical holster set on the belt as well as the forward canted set. During holster breakin the vertical set allowed for more push to get the gun seated. Now with the holsters form fitted, the forward canted holster set is the way I carry. The holsters have a small overall footprint but yet fit securely on my belt. My belts are 1 1/2" fancy stitched belts made by Diamond D, located in Alaska. Excellent gun belts. The holsters ride high (especially when vertical set on the belt) and tight to the body. You will need to experiment to find the holster position that is comfortable for you. With the forward canted holster set, I find having the thumb break at 3 o'clock is quite comfortable (yes, I am right handed). Opticsplanet does an excellent job with product packaging and customer service. Both holsters came packaged nicely in Gould & Goodrich factory plastic bags which were securely set in cardboard boxes. Thanks for that Opticsplanet! At less than $50 per holster, I actually felt they were a bit underpriced for the quality received. If you want a high quality holster, with the enhanced safety of a thumb break, you can't go wrong with the Gould and Goodrich B803. Given their demonstrated customer service and pricing, I also recommend purchasing it from Opticsplanet. The Glock 19 (concealed carry gun) conceals quite easily. The Glock 20 (backwoods bear defense gun) is concealable as well. I am quite pleased with this purchase and product experience and may someday also checkout Gould & Goodrich holsters with enhanced retention for added personal security. All the best, Wisconsin Will.
