Biggest handgun in an ankle holster?
« on: July 11, 2010, 07:26:38 AM »
After seeing some of the ankle holster offerings out there (including one for a full-sized 1911!  :o ), I was wondering about this board's experience....what is the biggest handgun you've ever carried (or attempted to carry) in an ankle holster?....

...by "biggest", it can be designated by handgun size, caliber, or capacity.......


Thanks in advance....  ;D
Why, yes....I'm the right-wing extremist Obama warned you about... ;D

I just wish Texas was as free and independent as everyone thinks it is...   :'(

I would ask a followup question. Why an ankle holster? The only good it will do you is if you have a few seconds to get the gun out. Quickdraw, it aint. Great concealment (though you might limp a little with the 1911 ;D). Speed, not so much. Why choose this option as a civilian? I too would like to know what folks carry on their ankle. I'd just also like to know why.

i'd not carry if my only choice was a ankle holster.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

I'm not asking if ankle carry is a viable option or not...that's a different discussion....I'm asking what the biggest revolver/pistol that someone has ankle-carried is.....

Sheesh....you guys are worse than the Glock/Taurus/9mm-bashers....  ::)

I don't know if this counts toward your question, but I've stuck my Kel Tec in my sock a couple times.

My Dad used to carry a 5 shot .22 RG snubbie in a boot holster.

 P32, but I don't think there is that much size difference between the 2.

I think that anything more then a Kel-Tec/LCP is rather uncomfortable and just feels weird. Like was said earlier, Ankle carry in itself is probably a last choice, but it does have its place.
Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Country Music.
