Who carries via Ankle Holster?
Please comment if it's for your Backup or if Ankle is your only mode of CC.
Thanks in advance....

I normaly carry either a Bersa Thunder 380 or a Taurus 85 on my ankle as a backup when I am on duty.
I don't mind either one both are kind of light and do not cause me much problem. |

I carry my P32 at the ankle when I have to. But it's not too often.

I've tried it for my backup and CC, and I've concluded that its about the worse way to carry in most circumstances. There are some such as sitting in a car, that it does work well.
I've used one of Lou's holsters, and it is secure and comfy.

I carry a BUG on my Ankle, S&W 442.
I'm using a Galco Ankle Glove at the moment, but switching back to Renegade Ankle Holster since I need a new Holster. Nothing wrong with the Galco, lasted ten years with about six years of almost daily carry, but I like the Renegade better. I spend a lot of time sitting, or on my back, and that's where it's easiest drawing from an Ankle Holster. Take care and stay safe. Biker ![]()

When I must have absolute discretion I use my ankle holster with my S&W 640. When I get a S&W 340 I will also use the ankle holster for my BUG.

Good ankle holster.
I've found the Bianchi Triad to be excellent for ankle carry. The unique design keeps the grip tucked in tight against your ankle, so there is minimum if any printing. It helps to wear cargo pants which typically have loose fitting ankles.

I carry a Mod 36 in an ankle holster as BUG to my .45 ACP Primary.
I would never consider carrying it as Primary. As another here has pointed out, it is not a perfect carry point. But, It is comfortable with the Mod 36 and the idea is that it would be accessed as a last ditch effort. I would already be crouched (hopefully behind cover) and maybe even shot! My Primary would be out of ammo, malfunctioned beyond immediate repair, taken away from me, dropped when hand shot, whatever. |
