Ankle holster for LCP and/or LC9

[fivepaknh]

I’m looking to buy an ankle holster for carry at work where my priority is not having the gun discovered. At work I dress business casual with tucked in shirts. I do have a tuckable holster for my Kahr K9 that does work well with a tucked in button down shirt, but not so well with a polo type shirt. Those are the days I’d go with the ankle holster. I’d prefer to go with a light gun for comfort. I have an LCP and an LC9. I’d rather go bigger, but would the LC9 bulge too much? Do ankle holsters shift too much or sag? Can anyone suggest a good ankle holster for either of these handguns?

I understand all the arguments about accessibility of a gun in an ankle holster. Again, my priority here is concealing the weapon.

I use a Galco Lite ankle holster with my LCP. I put it on at seven in the morning, and I'll be sitting at home at night and realize I still have it on!
Very light and comfortable and doesn't move around during the day.

I have one as well, comfortable, and no printing

Wearing Dockers, do you think I could pull off an LC9 in a Galco Lite without printing?

somebody has been watching toooo many movies

are you permitted to carry at work?

if so how about in a computer carrying case?

 

[fivepaknh]

What are you taking about with the movie comment? Whether I’m allowed to carry at work is irrelevant to this conversation. I don’t need any lectures from the boy scout crowd.

I wouldn't be carrying a computer case all the time. That would leave my gun unsecured most of the time.

I wear slimfit wranglers and you can't see it, and yes I can carry at work, the boss also has a CHL.

Thanks, Grant. I'll give the Galco Lite a whirl.

Anything by galco has been good in my experience. I would not suggest that as a carry point though. Iwb or a pocket holster would be better imo. For gun 3 or 4 I may get down to the ankle.

McNelly, do you have anything positive to add to this thread?

I had a friend suggest the cheap little Uncle Mike's and I turned up my nose on it. In the end I tried one out and for that application it worked outstanding. I've ankle carried my LCP for a few years in that rig and it's highly concealable.

I've carryed my LCP in an Uncle Mike's #1 ankle holster for almost a year..
I can carry the LC9 (with out the pinky ext.) with out printing....

Lateck,

I chose a cheap $20 wonder to wear the pistol around the house for a few days, just to see if I could cope with the weight. Once I confirmed ankle carry was an option for me in terms of weight, I moved up to a DeSantis ankle holster, and then a Kramer Ankle Holster. The Kramer is sweet, Very Comfortable, but pricy - north of $250.

Either the Galco or the DeSantis have the potential to work for you, but holsters are a very personal thing; what works for one may not for another. You will need to do as much research as you can, pays your money and takes your chances.

Good luck!

I ordered a DeSantis Apache Ankle Rig Holster for my LCP if it works out I may get one for the LC9. I was thinking the same thing about removing the mag extension to help prevent printing.
