Which ankle holster do I need

[FireInTheWire]

I have big mitts as well. Micro guns are for utility, not comfort. They are very comfortable to carry though

I agree with that. It was nice to have the bodyguard slipped down in my cargo pocket of my shorts.

I use an ankle holster for certain reason. Which I cant deviate from.

Many years ago I bought an ankle holster for my S&W 49. An ankle holster might be ok if your in the fetal postion get you ass kicked!

I usually carry a Sig P365 in a sticky holster in my front jeans pocket. If i am going somewhere work related, the LCP II in a sticky holster replaces it. It's smaller, lighter, and less likely for anyone to ask if that's a gun in my pocket or am I just happy to see them.

Nope. I hate small framed pistols. My hands too big for them thangs. Had a bodyguard and hated it.

Smallest pistol I could reliably handle was the LC9, and I had to add a grip sleeve to that. I had to hold the slide with the support hand and use my shooting hand to change mags. I eventually swapped it for a LCR 9mm and never regretted it.

That said, I would like to try the LCP .22lr. I hated the .380 version....worse than shooting .357 from a LCR, IMHO. I would hope the .22lr would be easier in that small a pistol.

Yep this is about the only way I’m reaching my ankles. You should see me trimming my toenails!

The only gun I ever ankle carries was a Glock 42 with a spare mag. I used an ankle bite holster I believe that’s the name. And a boot holster I found at a gun show a few years ago. The alien gear one is to much hassle for my liking. And it’s a two piece

Correction of the holster manufacturer. It’s Renegade Gear

Massad Ayoob discusses the practicality and considerations of ankle holsters for carrying handguns. Ayoob acknowledges the historical use of ankle holsters, emphasizing their popularity as secondary or backup carry options. He recounts anecdotes of individuals whose lives were saved due to ankle holsters in specific situations, such as when seated in a vehicle or after losing a primary gun. Ayoob also demonstrates drawing from an ankle holster and offers his recommendations.

+1 Galco Gun Glove. I use a Gun Glove when I carry my G26 on the ankle.

Unfortunately you might be spending some money doing trial and error. The ankle is a difficult place to fit a holster.

Got the LCPII .22lr and traded the 9mm LCR for a 856. May try the GX4 or Hellcat soon.

Still prefer pocket carry to ankle......

A resurrection of a Walking Thread. Is the OP still around?

Try drawing from one and getting an accurate shot on target.

Oh, be sure you do the “stop, drop, and roll” as if you were on fire for about 20 feet before you attempt it.

It should dissuade most folks from this type of carry.

unless one sits in a car or at a desk for long hours, an ankle holster is pretty much a novelty tbh.
