I think pancakes do a very good job of reducing the weapon profile. If I was buying sight unseen, I'd go with a Walther design, especially if it is designed for that specific weapon.
You might want to look at clamshell holsters too.

I don't use pancakes or clamshells though I do have an Uncle Mike version in my kit. Using a clamshell means you have to conceal the gun and the holster. I prefer the fanny pack style and/or vest with concealed holster designed in. I mentioned Eagle holsters yesterday. I should have addded if you carry an Eagle most gun folks will know you are armed. There are other versions that are not quite so bulky.

In jacket weather, I like a small frame, Smith and Wesson 357 hammerless revolver loose in the jacket pocket. You can walk or talk with your finger on the trigger without revealing you are armed. It also hides conveniently in the cargo pocket of casual slacks and shorts. I've even slipped it into a pocket on fishing shorts. It is a small package with a big bang highly suitable for close encounters. One thing I really like about it is I've never seen or heard of a S&W revolver misfire.
