I want to buy a new Ankle gun, I need your input! (From Afghanistan)

Not to hijack the thread, but any specific reasons you would like to share? Just curious as to specifically why revolvers on the ankle are "yuck".

Where the wheel rides and the bump in the holster feels awkward after carrying a small auto. Just me I guess.

S&W model 340 I have one for an ankle back up and it weighs something like 11 ounces. I would recomend a revolver for a back up for zero chance of jam and if it has a round malfunction just pull the trigger again.

I carry a .38 Derringer. Why because I like the size.


Kel Tec for the ankle and thanks for protecting our great country.

I ankle carry a G26 on and off duty. I use a fobus ankle holster and have not had a problem with it. While it works best with a pair of boots, I can get it tight enough to wear without shoes at all during summer time.

I don't ankle carry, but I own a G27. This is the first gun that I owned and still my very favorite. It has the stoppping power with the 40 cal and the size is perfect. Plus, there are a lot of options for extended magazines, etc. to make it feel full size when desired.

Try a Fobus Ankle Holster or the Galco Ankle Glove, both are very comfortable.

I ride a bike most of the year and in many cases carrying a sidearm on a Motorcycle is problematic. I've taken to carry 2 guns that are easy to cover up while on a bike.

My ankle rig is a N. American Arms Guardian .32
It's a tiny little thing and easy to ankle carry. It's not what I would consider a war fighters gun but it fills the role of "better a little gun than no gun". I load it with Win silvertips and it's 100% reliable.

My main carry gun for on the bike is a Taurus CIA .357 mag. It's stainless, hammerless and while it's somewhat heavy fills the role of belly gun real well. It could also be used for an ankle weight if necessary with the right holster.

I can also recommend the Glock 26 as an ankle rig, so long as you don't have chicken legs.

One thing I must say about ankle holsters... spend the money to get a good one! There's nothing more embarrassing than watching your ankle piece fall out and land on the floor (loudly) in the middle of a quiet restaurant.
