Best ankle holster for small handguns?
I want to carry my EC9s on my ankle when I'm at the office. I've read dozens of reviews and almost all of them have 1) discomfort, 2) weak stitching, and 3) slippage as main complaints. Every single brand I look at has at least 1 if not more of those complaints. Which is the best out there?
They suck get an enigma or some other belt and wear it under your clothes
Not what I asked. If you can't answer the question, your opinion isn't needed. You clearly don't understand the situation I'm working with and I don't have the energy to explain it to you, especially if you don't have any experience in this particular situation.
Have you tried not typing like an insufferable redditor?
Stay mad.
Shove it up your ass before entering your wage slave cage
>You clearly don't understand the situation I'm working with and I don't have the energy to explain it to you
Then fuck off, retard.
You're expending a lot more "energy" arguing with people than if you had just briefly explained why you need an ankle holster to begin with.
>Come here and demand to be spoonfed advice instead of doing some research for yourself
>Bitch when people don't just give you the exact advice you want
I actually know what ankle holster would meet your needs, but you can go and figure it out yourself. Now get the fuck off my board you insufferable moron.
I'll agree there, my day job is equipment procurement, deal with this sort of shit every day. Whenever you do this shit,
,you hemorrhoidal mass of wasted carbon, you drive people away from any semblance of a desire to help you. I wish you only the worst, place dishonor on your cow (wife), and hope to see your family on the nightly news. Fuck you.
>hemorrhoidal mass of wasted carbon,
That's not nice I have hemorrhoids and I'd much rather deal with them than OP
You sound angry. Multiple people were able to comprehend my original question and give me valuable feedback, you can leave the thread whenever you'd like.
Multiple people gave answers, and I ordered my selection yesterday. You're opinion isn't needed.
Enjoy discovering that your French Connection larp holster doesn't really do what you need it to do. Probably right around the time someone in your office sees it and you wind up being fired by some smug cunt from HR.
You want to point to the place on the bear, where the ankle strap touched you? After this we'll get ice cream, and you'll get three scoops for being such a brave boy!
better yet when he looses it some where in the parking lot or someone sees his ankles when hes taking a shit in the stall Hahahahahahahah!
Post your hand
>WTF YOU CAN'T JUST TELL ME I'M A STUPID PIECE OF SHIT
>HERE'S MULTIPLE POSTS IN THIS THREAD WHY I'M NOT MAD AND YOU'RE ALL JOBLESS AUTISTS
Face it OP, you're an insufferable retard who just wants his opinions affirmed. Ankle holsters are shit and only idiots use them.
You seem mad. I recommend a snack and a nap.
Your turn
you wounded. It hurt?
It's gonna be ok
just pocket carry
i tried this but my pants are too tight and it looked like an ankle tumor. ymmv
A small single stack or j-frame sized gun may work. My only experience with one is a galco one for my glock 26. It sorta works if you're sitting down, but not very well. The bulk of the thing really is the problem like you said, not exactly super concealable, but maybe something I'd consider during a long drive somewhere if something near the waist isn't easily accessible enough. Still not ideal though.
there is only one way to carry a gun at the office
shoulder for main, ankle for backup
>I want to carry my EC9s on my ankle when I'm at the office
>ankle carry at the office
>ankle carry
>at the office
is this bait?
>You clearly don't understand the situation I'm working with
are we expected to be omniscient or can we just skip to the bit where you admit that you're actually too "big-boned" to accommodate any kind of holster without ending up in a separate department store and the sight of you wouldn't be made much worse by what might be the remains of a conjoined twin on your leg?
The fact is that the situation doesn't matter. I didn't ask you for your opinions on ankle holsters in general, I asked which is the best. This is why retards like you don't last more than a month at any job you've worked at, you just can't help letting your autism get into your own way. Doesn't matter why the boss tells you to put the ketchup on the burger, you just put it on there like a good little gay. If I asked you which shit smells the worst, you'd argue that shit doesn't smell. The fact is that I'm asking a straight forward question, and you're too much of a self important, autistic, gay to think outside your insignificant and ignorant scope of reality. Go ahead and keep blabbering like the retard you are, I know how much your fragile little ego needs a (you)
you type like a fat person with a lot of resentment towards even the slightest amount of pushback against your stupid fucking ideas.
You type like a <25 year old with major insecurities. Life gets better, just keep pushing forward. Learn to your strengths, and exercise your weaknesses.
ankle holsters are a meme they have to be the worse meme also.
>GO ahead buy one just like everyone else did!

Keep your useless opinions to yourselves. Honestly it's my fault, I should have known better. Asking you guys to give me an answer without being autistic is like asking a gay not to suck a cock.
ok fine, honest rec - find a leatherworker to make one for you custom so it doesn't chafe each time you roll around the cubicle farm to ogle Linda's cleavage
buy 1 and try it at home and doing errands you retard
I used this one pre Covid when I worked in a building with a large population and zero tolerance for work place carry. I also wore cowboy boots most days. Worked well and was less risky than pocket or off body. Honestly I’m not sure what other products are better or worse. This held up for 3 years and I stopped using it because I switched jobs and can just IWB or pocket and no ones would care if they found out. https://bugbiteholsters.com/the-bugbite-holster/
Also I bought a belly band but never used it at that job afraid that someone would hug or give me a playful pat and unknowing touch the firearm. Just image what that potential person would say. “What’s that!?!”
Insulin pump, I'm a type 1 diabetic.
Thank you for the only reply of any quality. 3 years for $50 is good enough for me as long as it was comfortable.
Yeah it takes about a week to get comfortable. If you wear the right boots, really makes a big different as you don’t have to worry about it sagging.
Also one more price of advice.. I started with a ruger LCP but moved to 5 shot MP 38 revolver because it was lighter when loaded. Even a few ounces make a difference if it’s on you all day.
My brother has a MP 38 and it's a nice gun. The EC9s is good enough for what I need, basically it's in my leg until I get a chance to transfer it to my drawer when my office mate is getting coffee, and back again when he leaves for the day. I usually open carry a M9, but I imagine I'll want the ankle carry for other situations, like road trips where the side strap starts to dig in after a while.

They are not a terrible idea BUT I mean that in the context of having to be in a dangerous situation and preparing for it not fucking living with one attached to you if you are going to be with or around bad people or places my first consideration would be a coat or jacket that had pockets for soft Kevlar panels, then maybe a tourniquet or Israeli bandage and finally a pair of 5 inch barrel 44 mags and maybe a seven inch flat blade screwdriver with a non slip grip , for some situations even parts of a butchers apron like the torso cover, right sleeve, maybe a pair of cuffs and cut proof gloves and maybe something taped on my leg inside a heavy sock like a big swichblade or a small revolver but I'm not going to be wearing that to have a coffee with someones great aunt. Stuff on your ankle is bastard uncomfortable unless you tape around your leg and then tape it onto that and even then it is not great.

Man OP whines like the moron with a morones handgun. WAh WAh WAh!
Nice google image search, see last sentence of

Thanks again for not providing anything of value. I guess it's not your fault, your autism doesn't let you see past your own ego.
Do a prison pocket carry, the draw position is the same either way.
Get a thigh holster and pair it with a tiny gun so it doesn't print. A jframe revolver or Sig 365. Reserach Urban Carry holster.
Thanks for nothing
Well, if you don't want to truth, go to reddit where they'll kiss you ass and give you bad advice. I've been carrying for 14years. Small guns on the hips work best. Ankle holsters don't work. If you don't like thigh holsters, try a belly band holster.
> Ankle holsters don't work
Everyone knows it’s the best for ultra deep concealment. Did you even watch Con Air?
Galco makes decent ankle rigs. I have one for my G26 and my Seecamp. They have good velco and wool backing and I’ve never had them shift. They work best with calf length socks.
OP you could also holster your small gun inside your hat, Oh Wait that might be UNCOMFORTABLE!
Non sperg answer form someone who EDCs an ankle holster:
I have used a DeSantis for nearly four years and it has been flawless. The gun is a P365 in my case, so slightly bigger than what you are looking to carry, and I don't find that it prints when I wear jeans or slacks. I am either driving or I am wearing work attire (tailored pants and button up) 99% of the time I'm outside of the house so it makes sense for me to ankle carry. I have no idea about other brands, but with the DeSantis you can get a calf strap that they say is for use with a boot, but I find that wearing the holster high up on a boot makes it unnecessary, but since I am not a /fat/ I actually use the calf strap to align the holster when I am wearing dress shoes.
Something else to think about is an ankle IFAK on the other side. I have one made by The Wilderness that works great.
Take some pics because in my head you look like a retard with tumors on their ankles, larping around.
Just stuff it up your ass. You sound like a huge gay anyway, OP.
Stay mad same fag
Alien gear has a good ankle holster, not sure if they make a shell for your gun tho
If you're tall (like me) it sucks and I really like the other shapeshift holsters.
Problem is that it has a foot sleeve with a small pocket and a think plastic tab on the holster that slides in to it. It rides right on my ankle and hurts like a bitch because the tab is not long enough to hold the holster above the ankle. If your normal height it might be OK.
I've got one for j-frames.
imagine the smell

>Hey, guys. Please recommend me the best blue paint you know of
>BLUE? WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WANT BLUE? YOU SHOULD USE YELLOW PAINT
Exactly.
More like
>guys, I need to paint my walls black. I don't have the energy to explain why.
>black paint is shit for a lot of reasons, paint your walls a neutral color instead
>THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED FUCK OFF REEEE
You want this stuff as long as you're not concerned about a lot of stuff touching the walls. I hear it's pretty fragile because the effect is achieved using the surface texture

Galco.
What the fuck is wrong with OP?
(S)He's a redditor and slash or woman.
OP wait until they run a special, Buy an ankle holster and get one free tribal or barbwire tattoo free!
Need some JNCO jeans to conceal that
There isn't a good one. Unless you want to do PE until your calves are basically 10/10 ripped and also the size of footballs. At which point you can carry a small pistol in any position and perfectly conceal it.
Just pocket holster a EC9. There are lots of good pocket holsters for them.

There is no good brand gay, duct tape the gun to your leg if you're so committed to being John Wick while you're at work. Just carry it in your asshole bro, I bet you got room in there.

I tried one with a Makarov and it was the dumbest most uncomfortable thing I ever did with a firearm
Ive read where eh only gun that can be wore semi comfortable in a Ruger LC9 or LCP
Strapping anything to your calf will be annoying during a full work day youre better off getting a pair of boots or some other high shoe and attach it to that.
>dead man's carry
I've heard it is popular for truckers or delivery drivers. Easy enough to get to but still discrete if the police pull you over.
I drive Uber in St. Louis and I find that ankle carry is the best option. Fortunately I look like an off duty cop so I haven't had anyone mess with me but some of the black neighborhoods are unbelievably unsafe to drive in at night.
What gun is that? I recognise it from Arma 3.
