Anyone carrying in an ankle holster?

[schapman43]

Looking for something for my Glock 26. I need something that works with dockers and button down shirt. I also thought about a 5.11 holster shirt. Anyone carrying with an ankle holster? What brand?

I've carried in a Galco ankle holster a couple of times.. Took a bit to get used to (one leg heavier than the other). Stopped because I never practice drawing from there.

Can I use this as a WTB thread for anyone who has one and doesn't like it?

I carry a fair amount with the Galco ankle glove (G26/27). It did take some getting used to, but once used to it, I don't even know It's there. It's not the quickest draw, but with some practice, you can become quite efficient. One upside to ankle carry is while driving, it puts your weapon at a very convenient location, even with seatbelt.

I did the incline in Manitou Springs one time while wearing the ankle holster, and did the run back down. While not my first choice for that situation, it actually wasn't half bad, only had to readjust a couple times while running. Ankle carry isn't my favorite choice, but for certain wardrobes and situations, It's really a great option to have.

I also used to have the 5.11 carry shirt, and wasn't a huge fan. In fairness tho, I probably didn't give it enough of a chance. I'm thinking of either trying the shirt again, or trying a belly band, so I can carry while running outdoor.

Good luck in your search!

Heck, I carried a 3" 1911 in an ankle holster for a while. I've carried a G27 in a Galco and currently carry a J frame when I can't tote my usual. The Galco is comfortable and relatively inexpensive, at lest compared to the custom holster I had made to carry the Kimber.

Ankle carry is never my first choice, but it's sometimes a necessity.

I did for a while (glock 27), and I found that your footwear becomes a huge factor in how high it rides and how comfortable it is. The only time it would actually conceal under my pant leg was when I was wearing boots. Could have just been the holster I was using, but it was enough to turn me off to the idea for a primary carry, to carry a BUG like that still seems like a viable option.

I'm a big fan of the Renegade "Cozy Partner" ankle holsters. I've got one for my J-frame and G26.

I carry a Kahr CW9 in a Desantis Apache and forget it's there. I like the holster so much I just bought another one specifically for my Glock 26, and I'm trying to transition to carrying the 26 instead of the Kahr. I'mt still trying to get used to the 26 - it is definitely more noticeably down there than the Kahr, but the holster is also still breaking in. I typically wear some kind of hiking boot type shoe, so that keeps the rig above the bottom of the pant leg. I've worn it with dress shoes before, but it moves around quite a bit more.

I carry 2 spare mags in an ankle carrier. Fit's well in cowboy boots. When I get a compact 1911, I would like to go with an ankle rig.
