Ankle Holster question

[Barang]

compact size like sig p239: anybody concealed around the ankle here?

[Striker62]

I carry a BUG in my Bugbite ankle holster on occasion. Depends where I am going, and would only consider a BUG on my ankle as it takes too long to draw and get on target. Primary firearm is always on my hip.

Isn’t the P239 almost the size of a G19?

Not sure if you’re wearing bell bottoms, but maybe try something smaller?
I’d say an LCP or even a P238 can probably work better without slopping on your leg as you walk.

P239 is too big and heavy for an ankle gun.
Wouldn’t carry anything bigger than a Glock subcompact or S&W J frame. And I’m into skinny jeans.

copy that.

it's smaller than g19 but yeah! it'll be easier for sub-compact around the ankle.

Galco ankle glove with G26 or a S&W 640. Yeah, I did a PPK 380 stainless before I knew better. Sometimes you just have to pay tuition & learn for yourself.

ok then, don't want to end up with unwanted holster so i'll have to try to strap it around my ankle this weekend.

thank you gents.

Same here. My primary is on the hip or AIWB strong side. BUG gun is carried in non gun hand pants pocket or AIWB for the left hand, when my primary is on my right hip. One gun for each hand. …in case the primary hand get injured in the fight.

Ankle holsters suck. Having to bend down at the waiste and pull up the pant leg absolutely blows when you’re in the fight.

Galco Ankle Glove with a J-frame (model 60)

When I need to be in professional clothing and actually tuck in my shirt and not wanting to show belt clips for IWB carry setups.

[VulgarRealist]

Anything other than hip carry might as well be carrying off body. Worst yet, ankle carry requires you to be stationary when drawing the gun.

okay guys, i get the message. thanks for pointing out the cons (outweigh pros).

@ vinny: i like that rare occasion (for me) to carry it around the ankle.

thanks gents.

Why would anybody want an ankle holster? That seems nowhere near as effective as a hip holster.

Some want to carry three guns? Maybe.
Don’t see why

Dirty Harry had an ankle Italian Stilletto
But he was a cop on a mission

remember "one is none, two is one."

Without fail while working, I carried a G26 on my ankle and a primary on my hip. It was heavy but I got used to it. The problem was the printing. Unless you wear bell bottoms, it will be seen. Since I retired, I gave up on that and either go OWB or IWB carry.

If you're a truck driver and spend most of your time behind the wheel, a good ankle holster is very easy to get to from the seated position. [emoji6]
