While I don't like ankle holsters, among the best available are from Lou Alessi and Ken Null. A smaller gun may be in order.

I have tried many ankle holsters to no avail. This is just my opinion, but if you are on your hands/knees, bending, reaching, etc - I would think an ankle holster would be made very quickly. I agree you have limited options in this scenerio. Smaller gun w/IWB such as Crossbreed or MTAC would be much better in regards to concealment in this situation. It would be better than the ankle carry. I use a Glock 27 in the Crossbreed & a Kel-Tec PF9 for my MTAC when carrying IWB. If you knew ahead of time what your daily duties would entail, you could dress accordingly - but some of us never have that kind of insight. Best of luck.

+1 on a pocket holster/ kt/kahr combo.
I pocket carry my pm9 on the farm and I up down and on the ground and it stays put in my jeans. When I'm doing pc work I wear khakis, no one has noticed even when I'm crawling under desks and around things in homes or offices. The only PIMA is storing it while I take my son to his classroom. I'm beginning to think the safest place for a gunman is in the classroom, but that is a rant for another day.

You may have to make some wardrobe changes and gun changes. I find CC a give and take proposition. I buy my pants at least a waist size larger to accommodate the gun. While I would like to carry my 1911 A1 instead I carry a Kahr P9 as it is about the best carry gun I can find in 9mm. You need small and compact. I carry in a Tucker Gunleather Tuckable holster so I can tuck my shirt in over the gun. I make sure the shirt is not tight but pulled out at the waist enough to cover the bulge. That and the cell phone right by it hides the bulge very well. I often wear a sweater so I can pull it down over the bulge. Things like this all help. Oh, you can try a belly band type holster too.

Take a look at the 5.11 pants before answering "no" to pocket carry. They have a few additional large exterior pockets where you might be able to carry a concealed/holstered handgun. Since those pockets blouse out, skin-tight pants would still allow you two pockets that could be used. Since they are designed for LE and I think (not certain) that they even include Velcro on the inside to match up with a holster.

Ankle or iwb at 6 o'clock, those are the choices. Also, a smaller weapon is mandatory.

Here is a way that has worked well for several ladies I know, that might work well for you new work dress. One is the BDU or Cargo type pants, everyone has shorts for ladies too.. The big cargo pockets due very well and I do not believe that it would be unusual for someone in your line of work to have on. I also use this for a backup gun when I am on duty. I carry a small 9 in a standard pocket holster by Uncle Mike that is carried inside a leather holster about 6 1/2 inches square, about 1/2 narrower than the pocket. I had a friend make mine but others have had it done at any leather shop for about $25. This combo keeps everything smooth and in place no matter what I do. Do not carry anything else in that pocket and it will work great.
