Just dont open carry in a ankle holster

 

[Maverick44]

Out of curiosity, why ankle carry? Retrieving the gun seems like it would be awkward and difficult under stress, and outright impossible in some circumstances. That, and you'll have a pound and a half of gun swinging around every time you take a step.

You might want to look into Alien Gear. I have no experience with their ankle holsters, but I have bought a few of their IWB holsters and can attest to their quality and design. They make great stuff at a very hard to beat price.

For when you wear skin tight shirt and skin tight bell bottom jeans come on MAN!


I would say its a decent spot for a backup weapon.

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.

A few years ago - I bought an ankle holster and used it for just 1 day.

You don't realize that when you walk with that extra weight on your leg, it throws off your rhythm. So, one leg moves faster than the other (the leg with the holster will move faster because of the extra weight).

I went for a walk with it, and after 2 blocks, my knee started to hurt. I tried it again later in the day, and that was it. Same thing. I ended up having to sell it.

I was trying it with a Kahr PM9. That Glock 26 will be even heavier, with the added rounds.

That's a good point, a Glock 26 is gonna feel like an anchor. I used to carry a S&W chief special Auto in 45 in the Galco generic ankle holster and it was a bitch but it was back up and deep concealment in a job where I wasn't supposed to carry.

It's a very slow draw. Infact I went to the very back hidden pocket of a regular non gun holster fanny pack and it was much faster. Hey it was late 80s early 90s give me a break.

Anyways I would goto one of the new small single stack 9s like the Glock 43 or its clone from mossberg. Something small.

For some of us, it’s a far away and hard to reach place.

Should have just put one on each ankle! Seriously, I got one a long time ago and wore it about maybe ............. twice. Maybe easy to reach in a vehicle but ............. it's for sale!

Ankle is a great spot for deep concealment. It's a specific location. Would you rather have no gun or one on your ankle? I'll take the ankle. Nobody will ever feel or find it on you persons.

I have one for a Springfield mod2 9mm. If you just so happen to have this very gun, let me know. I'll send your way.

I bet that .380 feels like a 357 mag. That thing is TINY.

They are both .380s. The Seecamp is much less pleasant than the Kel-Tec. The KT is actually pretty fun to shoot.

That's interesting - I would've thought the polymer gun would've been the less pleasant, given lighter weight.

I've had a p3At. They arent bad to shoot but I consider it a belly gun. But the first rule is to have a gun...

As @Big Dipper can attest, the Seecamp has a nasty bite.

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

Polymer is flexible, mitigates some recoil.

The bigger the hands the more difficult small guns can be to control.

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