The Aker Classic 3-Slot Open Top Pancake Holster (Model 166A) is a traditional leather outside-the-waistband holster designed for low-profile concealed carry with fast, unobstructed access to the firearm. Built around a classic pancake silhouette, the holster distributes the weight of the pistol across the belt and rides close to the body for improved comfort and concealment.

The defining feature of this holster is its three integrated belt slots, which allow the holster to be worn in multiple positions. Depending on how it is threaded onto the belt, the holster can be configured for strong-side carry with an FBI forward cant or for crossdraw carry, giving the wearer flexibility without additional hardware or adjustments.

An adjustable tension screw allows the wearer to fine-tune retention, while the open-top design means a fast, natural draw. A full-length molded sight channel supports smooth, snag-free drawing with standard iron sights, and the dual-plane muzzle design accommodates both standard and shortened barrel lengths.

Crafted from premium leather and proudly made in the USA, the Classic 3-Slot Open Top Pancake Holster is a time-tested design favored for its versatility, stability, and understated profile. This model is not compatible with red dot optics and is intended for pistols equipped with iron sights only.

Firearm Compatibility Notes

The Classic 3-Slot Open Top Pancake Holster is designed around a traditional pancake profile with a fixed belt-slot layout and close-to-the-body carry. Compatibility is limited to firearms whose slide length, frame size, and balance work properly with this design.

Because this holster relies on specific belt slot positioning and a contoured leather profile, not all pistol sizes or configurations are supported. Select the option that most closely matches your firearm’s model family and overall size. Pistols outside the listed configurations may not provide proper retention or concealment with this holster style.
