      No LEO has adequate training or practice time. Their minds are made up and there is no use trying to teach them a thing. They are not listening. They are busy thinking up their next smart ass remark. Most have a woefully pitiful understanding of the constitution or even basic laws. LEOs are the thugs that the Government uses to oppress the PEOPLE.

    I work as the director of finance and administration for a soup kitchen, which is very non permissive unfortunately. Our guests very often addicts and the mentally disturbed and we have discovered knives and other weapons on them. I deal with our volunteers often and they tend to hug alot so inside the waist band carry would be discovered eventually. Ankle carry is what I have settled on.

      For non permissive, or just very discrete carry, I have a couple pair of nice dress slacks. A woman acquaintance of my wife who is a very good seamstress, installed an inside pocket _behind_ the normal slash cut pocket and a discrete zipper into the side seam of the slacks. You barely notice the zipper. The zipper has a short cord and tab to make opening easy.
      When I need ultimate concealment, I drop a S&W M&P Bodyguard .380 in the pocket and close the zipper. The gun CAN NOT fall out. No one can SEE it and even if someone hugs you and "feels" it, they will not be alerted to "GUN!" I can use my regular pockets for regular things and there is barely any imprint of the gun even when sitting. And the imprint does not "look" like a gun, since other items in my regular pocket (keys for example) break up that outline.
      The S&W M&P Bodyguard is a _hammer fired double action only_ handgun. There is no need for a pocket holster...the pocket IS the holster...and it absolutely cannot fire accidentally. It requires a long, heavy trigger pull for every shot.
      Maybe contact a seamstress/tailor and have a couple pairs of slacks made up for yourself. MUCH better than ankle carry!

    Ankle carry might be the worst as far as access but it's probably the most inconspicuous method . People don't tend to look at your feet when they're trying to determine if you're carrying . But yes , it's an awkward place to put a firearm . In-fact , I remember back in the 80s' when an ATF Agent , Agent Rios , was shot through the eye and killed when he went for his mod.659 that he had in his ankle . So I agree that it's probably the worst place to carry , but I've done it and I gotta admit that it's a comforting feeling knowing that at least you've got a gun . Great video Yankee , thanks !

    I ankle carry a lot. My body shape won't let me use a holster on my waist. My pants will fall and have fallen down. I can't even do it with suspenders! I have to tighten my belt so tight to support any weight that I end up crushing nerves in my waist causing numbness and pain in my back and legs. I usually carry in a holster shirt or in a gun pocket in my motorcycle vest with an ankle holster back up. The high boots make the ankle holster more of a mid calf holster. I'm left handed so I can access my ankle gun while I'm riding my Harley. As an aside, the weight of a pistol in an ankle holster gives a little more oomph if you go ahead and kick someone's naughty bits.
    I think the worst choice for a holster is a belly band.

    When out running errands it's hip carry only for me. 12+1 9mm ready to go in level 2 retention holster. If it's a sketchy area visit, +1 mag (12 rounds). If I'm overly paranoid then the triple pouch of 15-round mags come along. Suppose I drive an hour west to Gary (Indiana) for photography, then I'm upgrading to my PT92 which is 20+1 and 2 more Mec-Gar mags of 20.
    The 10mm and .44Mag (Deagle) would be reserved for deep woods in bear county but the most harmful things around here in northern Indiana is the occasional wild turkey. Those things are terrifying. A few of them were tear-assing at each other in my parent's backyard one morning. No thank you.
    The worst carry method I could ever make would be to buy a 6-shot revolver and expect that to be my lifeline when gangsters have their 33-round mags.

    Ankle carry is good for times when you are going to spend the majority of your time driving or sitting in your vehicle. Very comfortable and you can have the pant leg already positioned where it isn't in the way. I think the reverse is true for appendix carry. It is much better for people who are standing/walking/etc. vs. sitting in vehicles for long periods of time.

    The ankle carry is meant to be a backup, in-case you can't get to your primary on your waist. A backup on your ankle and a primary on your waist is still better than an off body carry. That's the 2nd worst carry method. Worst is an empty chamber on a semi auto.

Also, blocked in traffic and not moving in many car seats drawing from 4:30-5 o’clock is neigh on impossible.

    Here we go again, weekend woods warriors telling you what and how to carry. It depends on your probable environment. I have been in several shootings and situations where almost discharged as well. 25 years working the street as a NYPD cop in worse neighborhoods. I have never seen a primary gun failed to function requiring a backup firearm. It’s always the gun being wrestled out and ground fight where an officer or that matter a perp lose his gun. And when your struggling, your in a position to grab an ankle holster. Yes I carried a Glock on my ankle. Pulled it only once after falling down the stairs with primary weapon in hand struggling with perp on subway stairs. That gun hit the ground and slide like it was in ice When you’re driving and stuck in traffic. Easy to reach and grab ankle holster without having to take other steps to get at side or appendix carry. I still carry ankle, never failed me. But if your 300lbs and can’t breath after taking 5 steps. Then carry on your chest.

    Saw a dude coming out of my nearest grocery store here in Northwest Arkansas (open carry is legal) recently wearing what appeared to be some kind of drop holster only it dropped almost to his knee. In his holster he had what appeared to maybe be a single-action revolver with maybe a six inch barrel. The holster however was canted away from his leg at about a 20-25° angle making the pistol sort of just dangling out there. I wasn’t staring but I think he saw me eyeballing his setup as he mounted his Harley. How he hasn’t bounced that pistol down a highway during his travels is beyond me.

    To further comment on ankle carry while driving a car... In most cars that I have driven, the steering wheel gets in the way of reaching down there and I had to take my feet off of the pedals. Most of the vehicles I've owned also had manual transmissions. Basic military convoy doctrine is to push through and get out of the ambush before engaging the enemy. It's damn near impossible to manipulate a clutch or accelerator pedal and draw from an ankle holster at the same time.

  • @AikiRonin21

    It depends on the reason you carry. If you're carrying to have a last chance defense against a mass shooter, where you aren't trying to quick draw, and only going to draw when you have run so far as you have no where else to run, to so have found some sort of cover, then ankle carry is ok, but I would rather have a larger pistol for that, too.
    The worst carry method, is off body carry in some sort sling or cross body pack, or a purse or murse. Even you train your draw from one, the odds of actually getting to your pistol in time for self defense, are extremely low. You have all the same concerns with your pistol being whipped around, and knocked into things. It's only really ideal for carrying a larger pistol for a mass shooter situation like I mentioned with ankle carry.
    The biggest draw back for this type of off body carry, is if you're getting robbed, whomever is robbing you, likely is going be after your pack, that you have your pistol in. They may even grab it with one hand, while threatening you with a gun of their own or knife, in the other, or they may start pinching you. Either way, their key focus of the thing you have your pistol in, so being able to draw to an advantage, is highly unlikely.
    The only way I would carry off body, is if I had some sort of smaller handgun on my waist, and if you're carrying a capable handgun on your waist, why carry another in a pack that makes you a potential target?
    Again, if you're trying to be prepared for a mass shooter, and you have adequate medical supplies in your pack, along with a larger pistol,.you feel more confident in engaging at a longer distance, then ok, I get it. Just make sure you have thought about, and are carrying something you can depend on at up close encounters, when someone's trying to take your pack, with your "go to war" pistol in it. You're more than likely not going to be able to access your pistol in time for self defense, from a pack or other off body method.
    At least with the ankle rig, your pistol isn't going to be the focus of whatever attack you may be faced with. Unless maybe you are wearing the latest sneaker that the common street thugs is going to rob you of.

Its great for carrying in a car, and I've seen a video where an armed guard was ambushed, frisked and disarmed by some attackers, then sat down, drew his ankle backup, and beat em when they looked away for a second.

    I'd point out that if one ankle carries in a state where one's right to bear arms is infringed it is easier for law enforcement to spot that you are carrying. Even with a light pistol, they can see the difference in a person's gait.

    All of the methods discussed here assume that one is using a holster.
    In my humble opinion, the worst way to carry a gun is tucked in your waistband without benefit of a holster, followed by any place else without benefit of a holster that prevents inadvertent actuation of the trigger.
