Ankle Holster Recommendations

I found it on eBay, sold as a pipe holster. I wear my phone on a belt clip, and my point and shoot camera in a leather case on my belt. I figured why not find something for a pipe, and much to my surprise, I did.

I've got one as well. The home defense loads pack a wallop, although not sure I would reach for it in a pinch.

I really like the Winchester PDX1 Defender ammo

That's the stuff! You can feel the heat from the muzzle blast on your hands while firing. Probably the only time I've felt that to that degree. I bet it looks wicked at night.

Love mine

Care to say which model? I was thinking the polymer model and snub nose would be best to carry.

Mine is the magnum. I don’t carry it concealed ( too big) . Bed side,glove box Or open carry for snakes .
Mostly I conceal carry a S&W m&p compact 45 or S&W m&p 380 ez . If open carrying for personal defense, I carry a full size 1911 or a S&W 686 357

Damn these things really went up in price. When I was buying guns they were cheap as hell

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

A better carry gun. ?
Revolvers are just not it IMO if you want to conceal.

I'm kind of a "revolver guy", lol, but I do agree with that. I shoot the larger semi-autos better, won't lie about that. The snubby little .38s in the pre-36 and Model 36 are easy to tuck in a coat or jacket or vest pocket fall/winter/early spring - holstered OWB you can get them tucked up pretty well but the options aren't as varied or as comfortable as other options for flatter handguns for sure, and you've got only 4 if you don't have one under the trigger, and only 5 in a Diamondback and a little larger if you go Colt. My least obtrusive would be a 50+ year old Walther, but in .32 it is a range prince and more of a fun thing for me and I don't want to carry a Glock 19 or CZ so always thinking I'll find a thin and compact semi-auto I like and compatible with my paws. They are "trendy" and I look at them off and on - right now considering the Springfield Armory Hellcat (supposedly some early production issues solved), and actually one of my daughters that brought it to my attention (!) but kind of on hold for all of that until spring. They definitely aren't giving any away these days, fortunately I've got a fair amount of trade bait, haha.

Yep I didn’t pay that for mine. It seems all of the firearms prices are going up these days. Glad I don’t really need anything myself. Bad enough paying for ammo if you can find it!

I've been giving my pistols to family recently. The only revolver I have is a Smith and Wesson Model 17 Masterpiece. They are way North of $1000.

Wow, searching around I’m apparently sitting on a small fortune.

Sig p365

though I’ve got a G43

I would screw the revolver and get an Uzi. There are shoulder holsters for them and the fire power is superior to the revolver.
Go Uzi, why settle for less?

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

I'm like others, I prefer a revolver.

 

[Bengel]

Picked up a 642 J frame and am looking for a comfortable and durable ankle holster.

Did you find anything in your search?

1911 single stack is pretty darn slim. I've got an ultra carry II that hides pretty well. I still go for my PPQ though.

I prefer a phased plasma rifle in the 40W range

 

[jhowell]

Galco is the way to go in an ankle holster.

 

[Jimmy_Jack]

Good gun. Bad plan. I’ve been carrying daily for 20 years. Carried in all manner. Ankle is a bad choice.

Find a work around or don’t carry.
