Ankle holster

When I got the wife a Sig P238 .380 I liked it so much I got myself one
I been carrying it but I got for the first time an Ankle Holster.

Because of the smallness and light weight of the weapon and the easy of hiding it under my pant leg I never take it off anymore when entering a no carry store.

Before with the hip or hidden inside the waist holster I was always leaving in the truck.

Anyone else using a Ankle Holster? What make and type ?

Ok.

I have a DeSantis for my S&W revolver. It's bulky and uncomfortable. It's also hard to get to your gun when it's on your ankle. I typically only wear it with dress pants when it's really hot and I don't want to wear a suit coat.

Not a fan of ankle holsters for the reason LJ pointed out. Full size glock IWB and double mag holder is my usual carry. Hoping to move to S&W MP when i get some more money.

Any full size weapon (normal carry for me SIG P220 .45) would be a lot with an ankle holster.
The small P238 .380 is very comfortable

Yeah, full-size wouldn't work well. I don't know if I'd want to carry a primary on the leg either way.

I totally agree but the easy of carry and total concealment is nice. The idea of not having to be without in places that have weapon restriction is also a comfortable feeling, plus the hassle of leaving the .45 weapon in the truck. I still at time lately will carry the .45 but I&#8217;m getting use to this small carry. Note: the Sig .45 is still my favorite however and I love the feel strapped to my side. </SPAN>

.380 is not a weak bullet, in the hand of a competent shooter &#8230; nothing like a .40, 45 but still effective.</SPAN>

At this point : have something or have nothing&#8230; ? </SPAN>
