WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, The worst way to carry a gun is empty.
you tried so hard. try again
It's not too late to delete your comment
@@ericvantassell6809thanks. I was hoping for a good reply for that.
@@Texas2Step79 lmao 😀
Actually worst way to carry is Mexican carry just tucked into your waistband.. not good not good at all
As a retired LEO I always carried a backup on my ankle. It is also very accessible while seated in the car.
I carry Taurus 605 .357 on my ankle just for this reason. But also as a backup and ankle carry is pretty comfortable. Ya almost forget ya have it on your ankle with a good ankle holster.
I carried on my ankle for years, foot chases just suck with it. Then again better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
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.
Same here.. retired L.E.O. & travel a LOT... drawing from strong side hip while seated behind the steering wheel.. especially when seatbelted in..is slow awkward & telegraphs the draw while drawing from an ankle holster or shoulder holster is smooth & fast.
My old Agency issued Glocks as primary sidearm & S&W Model 642 revolvers & ankle holsters for backup & off duty & I find that still works for my needs.
In the 90s Massad wrote an article on the 2nd piece, two weeks later an officer wrote to him thanking for having saved his life, due to being able to draw a snubbie from his ankle in his unit and have it ready when some weirdo baseball player pulled a 12 g on him for no reason.
As Mas Ayoob points out, drawing a pistol from the small-of-the-back position is putting yourself in an arm lock.
It's called the "Reverse Reach-around." Massad is an expert at it.
same applies to strong side in any hand-to-hand situation. AIWB is the only way
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.
Keep feeding the problem sounds brilliant princess
@@Madinfidelprepperso, um, are you suggesting we starve the homeless?
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!
@@Madinfidelprepper That is your response? Good grief. 🤦🏼♂
Try the John McClane carry
After this, I’m going to stop ankle carrying while wearing shorts and sandals.
😅🤣😂
LOL
And socks
Ankle carry is for an emergency back-up only.
That’s what pocket pistols are for
Throw down weapon😂
I carried by J-frame as a backup on my left ankle as a LEO. It is very accessible while driving. But, I was young and limber then. I wouldn't ankle carry now, in my 60s.
I'm too old and inflexible for ankle carry. I usually just carry a J-frame in a pocket holster.
I do too, I’m comfortable with pocket carry.
+ 2
Pocket carry and a J-frame, the best combination since hot apple pie and vanilla ice cream.
Ankle carry is fine if you drive for a living but that's the only position that access is smooth/easy when you are over 60. At least for me.
A buddy of mine was robbed during a home invasion. The crooks patted him down but didn't check his lower legs or ankles. So when he got his carry permit he chose to carry on his ankle for that reason. I wouldn't choose it, but this was his reasoning.
But no no no no noooooooooooooo...... thou shalt not Yankee Marshal ankle carry!
For sitting or driving long periods, the best method I have found as an OTR truck driver is horizontal ahoulder carry.
Best method for alot of situations. And provides very casual access- you can reach for you gun without looking like you're reaching for your gun.
The worst way to carry is in your hand, raised to eye level, walking into the grocery store, etc. I call it extreme open carry. (Possibly a crime as well.)
Unless you are carrying a IC380 (cellphone pistol), for me it's the best self defense weapon, even cops won't make it while talking to them holding it in your hand! Unfortunately the company shttered during covid.
@@DakarBlues novelty firearms will always be just that. Novelties
I suggest ankle carry for drivers, or road trips. Easy access from seated position
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 !
Cross draw. I know it's not popular but it is easier from seated (like in the car) and less awkward than 3 o'clock for me. Either way you still have to clear your shirt and have a good grip, so practice is vital.
I was talking to a guy who drives with Uber and Lyft, and who was considering carrying for defense while in the car. This scenario is the ONLY one in which I think shooting in a direction you can't see is even remotely worth considering--a rear seat passenger who is threatening you. In that case, I could see under the right arm shooting left-handed.
I don't recommend it.
I have Carried ankle for 25 years without difficulty mostly because I work in an office. Well, drawing in an emergency does take more time and practice. It is better when you’re seated in the car or seated at your desk as the gun is conveniently located.
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.
I do third leg carry.
Where do you get the holsters for that?
LoL!
@@MichaelJohnson-tw7dq ask any attractive female. They all carry a 3rd leg holster . . .
🤡 Said Hillary Clinton
With ankle carry an episode of Blue Bloods did a good job exposing it's faults when Frank Reagan's father got robbed at an ATM and couldn't get to his gun.
Looked difficult for Mas to grab his ankle gun and not drop his toupee
LMAO
That is the worst rug in the history of toupee.
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.
I carry a Glock 19 15+1 or Sig Xmacro/TacOps 17+1 [I carry the Sig more nowadays] at 3 O'clock in an IWB Kydex friction fit holster and have for nearly 20 years [when I 1st started carrying I had a leather IWB but switched to Kydex when it became available!
I have single an double extra mag carriers for both which I typically only use if I'm traveling outside the closest town !
I've taken 1 or more training class's every year that I've been carrying and I shoot at least once a week [being that I live out in the country I can shoot on my own property] !
I do print a little when wearing T-shirts but these days no one is looking up from their phone long enough to ever give me a 2nd look and even since I 1st started carrying I've NEVER had anyone approach me and say they know I'm carrying anything!
@@cottonmouth71 I envy all of you folk who own property, granting free reign to shoot whatever (almost) whenever. Are those classes really worth it?
I figured there's not much to learn that can't be done for free by a LEO, military vet, or a pal whose life is all about the craft.
Wrong again Yankee. The worst carry method is colon carrying a large handgun with sharp metal edges.
As soon as I saw the title that video showing colon carry flashed through my mind!
I´ve been suffering from an irritated colon. Doctors haven´t been able to diagnose me so far. That might have been the reason. Thank you Mr. Doverfield.
Sir, you know nothing about this comment. Inmates and criminals often carry firearms and other weapons in their prison wallets with little issues. Do a little research if you believe I am just insulting you sir. LOL!
"Now I know what's going through your mind right now. Is that a six inch barrel or only five".
@@davidbrayshaw3529 It's an eight inch Anaconda.
I Like ankle carry... I wer "scrubs" for work"
I haVE CARRIED my LC9S easily and REALLY 4 got it was there .... My 4 inch FNS worked as well
Now that GA is Open Carry I Open carry most of the time... at work, off body
I think one big thing that people don’t think about as a pro for AIWB carry is how beneficial it is when it comes to close contact defense situations. Training in FOF combatives will exemplify this pretty well.
'This isn't going to be another anti-appendix carry video"
Goes on to rant about how appendix carry is bad
I carry on my ankle, and with a Galco holster, it’s perfectly comfortable and I forget it’s there. It’s the best option for me, but yes, there are many considerations that make it not ideal for most people.
Mexican carry a Glock? 😂
Also known as “The Tijuana Circumcision”.
Thanks a whole lot Yankee Marshal. This message really needed to be said. I was once given an ankle holster sized for a S&W model 36. It was a really nice holster. The first time I put it on my leg I could CLEARLY see how it was completely impractical for carry. I simply put it away keeping it only as a memento. Besides pant legs nowadays are just way too freaking tight.
I have been pocket carrying for 25 years right front pocket DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster.. generally my Taurus TCP 380 or my Smith 342 airlite TI.. 11 oz 38 special. I can draw from my pocket much faster than a belt holster.. and if I suspect something is not right I can have my hand in my pocket on the grip of the gun ready to draw please no pocket pool jokes
I pocket carry my P365 inside a kydex shell covered by an Uncle Mikes. Smooth draw and the holster is left behind.
I carry a second on my ankle and practice with family them retrieving it while I have my primary and cover the situation. Always better to have more than one to deal with a situation. I do not even notice it on my ankle LCR in 327 mag with 32 H&R in cylinder. As a primary option it is dumb.
Being anti-appendix carry is a silly hill to die on.
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.
I was thinking about Ankle Carry for that exact reason!
A small 9mm semi-auto in a pocket holster works well. Alabama Holster & Vedder made a nice Kydex that doesn't print. Put keys in the watch pocket of your jeans, and it is even harder to spot.
Nope. Prison pocket carry is worst. jk
most comfortable at least
Wes Watson...just hoop it!
Not too secure though, falls out too easily 😉
Don't fart too hard, or you'll have an ND.
I prison pocket carry a 44 magnum with a 20 inch barrel 😂😂😂
I travel via car a LOT and drawing from strong side hip while seated behind the steering wheel... especially if seatbelted in....is awkward slow & telegraphs the draw ..while drawing from an ankle holster is smooth & fast.
Same as seated in a restaurant....
My old Agency issued Glocks for primary sidearm & S&W Model 642 revolvers & ankle holsters for backup & off duty use and I find carrying two handguns... strong side hip & ankle carry ... still works well for my needs.
I haven’t carried as of yet. Never without a permit Of course. Your insight is very much appreciated
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.
Agreed that ankle carry is for a back up gun and being older carrying on my hip negates the use of my weak hand hence appendix. If you get hit in the strong side arm hand etc before the festivities start-good luck drawing from the 4:30-5 o’clock with your weak hand. Also, blocked in traffic and not moving in many car seats drawing from 4:30-5 o’clock is neigh on impossible.
Ankle carry is for back up, or if there’s no other choice. And sometimes it’s ankle carry or nothing. Options are good. A good quality ankle holster does NOT shift. I carry my PPK in a Dan Hume that has the extra brace that goes over the knee, you don’t even know its there. I would agree that a lesser quality ankle holster will shift.
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.
I would not walk around town with a pistol on my ankle, but if I have to drive long distances an ankle holster is very easy to get to. My primary is always on my hip.
I’ve carried on my ankle a lot under certain circumstances like spending a lot of time in a vehicle. With the right pants it’s easy to access from a sitting position. I wear it on the inside of my left leg mostly. If you need to get your gun from a standing position you just kneel first and it’s right there. Of course it’s not so good for reacting to an ambush, but with any forewarning it’s not bad. Everything is a trade off anyway. AIWB not comfortable when I am sitting. Strong side is fine most of the time but in the car it’s sometimes a pain to get by the seat belt. Muzzle down shoulder holster is good in colder weather but sucks in the heat… and on and on
OMFG, is the YM starting to soften his view on appendix carry? The other bad carry methods he mentioned aren't great either for the reasons he mentioned.
The biggest problem I see with small of the back carry is that I don't have eyes in the back of my head. If the gun gets exposed, you're not in a position to see it. Some else could get to your gun before you even know they're there. or that they're a potential threat. I personally prefer the 4 o'clock or 8 o'clock position depending on whether you're right or left handed. Eather that or for a smaller gun front pocket carry.
When I was young and less enlightened I used to carry a38 j frame in the ankle holster.. it was a quality leather ankle holster with sheepskin lining and a elastic garter.. but that was back when I was young and I was able to bounce myself lift my leg up without crouching down and grab the gun off my ankle I practiced a lot but thinking about it now days probably not the best way to carry
Thank you for mentioning the dangers of carrying a radio in the small of the back.
I work in maintenance and many co-workers carry their radio like this way.
I carry a S&W 629 44mag on the shoulder. A Glock 19 on the right hip. A Ruger SR1911 CMDR 45 on the left hip. A SIG P-238 on the right ankle and Pepper spray on the left ankle. I also keep a Shockwave 12ga loaded with mini shells in-between the car seat. I DONT carry with a barrel down my butt crack or pointed at Oscar Meyer.
I know a lot of cops carry on their ankles when they are plain clothes...I'm sure it's a backup gun...but every Friday we'd go into a bar to cash checks, and it was a cop bar...you could tell who was a cop by their ankles.
You can’t kick someone in the balls when you ankle carry without the risk of losing your shaft!
Yankee you correct I've been carrying off and on different ways for over 50 years and you are right! All those guys that are appendix carry are skinny young guys for the most part! I have always carried the old ways inside or outside it has worked for me 3 o'clock, shoulder rig or cross draw will work for me! I carried a .45 Colt Combat Commander and a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog in the mid 70's!
I haven't carried as long as you, but I was a die-hard pocket carry guy for a long, long time. It's taken me a while and a lot of trial and error but I've come around to appendix. It conceals best for me if I'm carrying a larger gun.
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.
One of the very best channels for common sense safety advice.
My doubts regarding Glocks and
appendix carry and ankle carry confirmed here today and no where else. Thank you so much 🙏👍👍👍
Back in the '90s in my early 30s.. I carry the snub nose on my ankle and a leather holster with sheepskin lining.. it has a elastic strapped with a Velcro garter.. sounds weird but that gun went nowhere by accident.... Back then I would not kneel down and draw.. I carried it on the INSIDE OF MY LEFT LEG.
I could easily raise my leg in snatch the gun off my left leg out of the holster popping the retention snap with my thumb.. I could actually draw pretty quickly and I never had a problem with it on my ankle.. but nowadays with arthritis in old age.. well older age.. I would always carry strong side or in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster in my right front pocket by 11 oz centennial
I carry appendix IWB but I either have a DAO revolver, DAO Kahr P40 of a shield with a thumb safety.
I tried ankle carry it back in the early 70's when I started to carry! The only way to ankle carry is to have it as only a Back Up with a small light gun!
Ankle carry is opportunity self defense! Like all carry methods, you can’t get to it if you have a gun pointed at you but if you can get to cover at least you have a weapon. I ankle carry sometimes with a holster with a thumb break for my kahr pm40, very comfortable, very secure.
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.
I made a leather inside holster for appendix carry. I carry a tt33 Tokarov with safety on and UNCOCKED. Totally safe.
AIWB.. is the best way to carry. Becuse it is always in front of you, and you have more control. 1911, DA/SA and DA is very safe.. drawing and shooting and re-holster.. Glock use a SCD for AIWB.
Appendix is just too uncomfortable for me. I carry full size all day every day over my wallet iwb. Currently a canik mete used to be a 1911.
Appendix carry all day when driving. Just be careful holstering. Cant draw any other way. Seatbelt is blocker. Otherwise IWB 4 o’clock, or appendix when standing . Quicker draw appendix. That half second could save your life.
I still think small of back is worse than ankle, and ankle actually has a niche benefit. If its your only gun, yes it sucks, but for little backup guns if you're into that its fine. 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.
Ankle carry is a gun you give to your buddy in a bad situation.
Or drop by the corpse after a bad shooting. Cops do it all the time.
I'd like a shoulder holster in the winter and for warmer weather my right front pocket😊
Hey yank, is there a way to get another (mess with the mew mew you get the pew pew tee shirt). I messed up and left it at a motel 3 stayed over?
It might sound obsesive, but i make a checklist on my phone of every single thing i bring when i travel. No more lost t shirts or chargers or pocket knives
what if your ankles are always up behind your head
Good question Kamala!
I took your advice after watching couple of your videos. I’m now cross draw carrying. It’s comfortable and if I shoot the side of my leg or the ground by accident so be it. But I’m very cautious when I holster and unholster and have very good finger awareness.
Another guy just made the news shooting off one of his balls. Appendix carried his Taurus GX3C, safety off & was pulling it out while driving after 5 beers.
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.
How do you carry when you put on your leather Gimp outfit ????
Hip carry for me, my gun belt and battle belt has my hand going there by decades of training and memory.
that's something to consider. If you're used to carrying in one place/position, and you change it for any reason, under stress you'll reach for where you're used to carrying, not the new spot.
"Carrying loaded, racked, with it facing your junk, "was my guess of the worst carry method.
Absolutely love this channel! 👍👍👍🤠
I carry .taurus 605 Poly Protector. 357 snub on my ankle as a back up and a quick draw for in the car. It’s extremely comfortable if ya have the right holster. Mine has a strap that goes over the gun. Holds it securely and it never prints.
Sitting in a car. Sitting in a restaurant. Sitting at the poker tables for very long hours! Ruger lcr .357 mag is comfortable on the ankle and powerful enough for any self defense scenario.
I can think of plenty of times ankle carry makes sense... Like a driver, or desk worker any job where sitting is most of your day the gun is not jammed into a chair.
I would say the worst carry method is off body.
I have seen a lot of seats in patrol vehicles with torn upholstery. Especially with those that carry in the small of their back.(Dumb Detective. And early retirement.). Firearms especially semi autos magazines rip the back of the seats in normal hip carry holsters.
I tried carry in my Ruger LCP 2 with an ankle holster it's too bulky and I can't put my pants always over the firearm sometimes they're not baggy enough it looks like I'm wearing one of them parole ankle monitors
I carry a back up gun on my ankle anywhere I will be seated for a long time (glock 27 or SP101), like to the movies. Also, many people are disarmed by multiple criminals at gun point. Crooks always expect people to have a gun in their pocket or in a waistband.
People who say this usually have no experience carrying on the ankle. It will work for extended periods of time even while dancing or running and its the most concealable unless you wear skinny jeans. Nobody will be looking at your ankles unless they also carry
And people who say what you just did our trying to excuse a poor carry method, and said nothing to contradict the fax presented in the video
I ankle carried backup revolvers (.44Spl and .38Spl) for 27 years. Never had a problem accessing or deploying said backup on the several occasions over those years that I was forced to utilize said backup. Of course, I practiced a lot....
I tried appendix carry a few times and I just do not like knowing that that barrel is pointed right at my Johnson. It's just too unnerving. It's also not comfortable for me. Strong side only.
The NAA beltbuckle revolver is sublime, if your gut hangs low enough...
All of my carry guns have trigger guard holsters like zerro carry holster .
I like appendix carry with revolvers and with hammered fired pistols. I wouldn't carry a glock appendix, cause I'm no glocktard
Love the T-rex meme 😂😂😂
I always chuckle at that one also.
Appendix carry is not for people with male genitalia. Doesn’t matter if they identify as a man or a woman.
I carry an Sig P238 on my ankle as a back up gun. Anything larger than that will just get stuck on your pant leg and you’ll be in deep dung.
I thought that ankle holsters were for a backup gun. Which is worse, carrying a gun in an ankle holster or carrying a gun in a purse
I carry in a 64oz big gulp. I saw it in a movie once.😅
Pocket carry primary, BUG on ankle for driving and sitting. In a purse or backpack is worse.
I carry a S&W J frame in a holster in my front pocket.
You forgot that drawing a gun from ankle carry is the slowest method of carry to draw a gun. This in itself would make it the worst carry method.
Ankle carry is a specialized method, say for cab drivers, truckers, front desk receptionist etc, basically if you are mostly sitting dining the day while exposed to people
@@michaeldoe4805 mechanic, plumber, hvac, anyone who rolls around on or bends at their midsection very often.
@@michaeldoe4805 I don't see that. If you are driving it would be even more difficult to reach around the steering wheel lift your pants leg up and then pull the gun. If a secretary mounts the gun under her desk she can grab it in a fraction of the time it would take her to pull it up from her ankle.
@@kennethferguson4283 Am I the only one who'd be bending my leg up in this instance? It's a very common thing I've done at the gym for 15 years so it's second nature. Save the awkward bend over. I owe the practice to irritated dry skin causing itches every few minutes. >_
Appendix carry IS a faster draw from a standing position - there is no doubt. It's also a better position to avoid getting disarmed. A DA/SA used carefully solves the safety issue. OTOH it's really uncomfortable to sit, Draw from a sitting position is awkward, slow and means you flag yourself. Drawing from appendix in a deep car seat is ridiculous. Tried it - it's not for me.
If one carries with an ankle holster one needs to wear bell bottom pants.
Funny I was going to say bring back bell-bottom pants.
Only time i ankle carry is on formal occasions like a wedding. And the apache from desantis is a great holster for it it has a support strap that holds up the holster
I'm not fat but stiff as a board, I can barely tie my shoes 🤣🤣🤣, ankle carry is a no-go. I carried appendix for years with a J-frame, recently switched to a Shield Plus. I drive a lot and on the hip is completely inaccessible. I have a shoulder holster I love but I can only wear it with specific clothing.
I'm not responding due to hurt feelings. I'm not that sensitive.
I don't like ankle carry. It is just not the best option. There are plenty of BETTER options.
I have ankle carried sparingly, using an LCP Max, in a BugBite holster.
I especially needed this while I was in physical therapy for my shoulder. Waistband worked to and from. But not inside. I left that in the car. I ankle carried simply to have SOMETHING inside the office.
I've also done this to carry into places I'm "not supposed to."
BugBite holster.
I was in line at a store with someone open carrying in the middle of their back...i believe i could have grabbed their gun quicker than i could my own
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.
Accidentally falling on my gun & breaking my spine seems like the worst carry idea. I’ve never had issues with ankle holster ( the one I used ) & belieb it has a place. Stop wearing skinny jeans & it’ll fit fine
Gangsta carry. No holster, in waist band anywhere on body. In weather when I have to wear over garment, I us bandolier holster and jacket or other over garment with top open about 1/3. I carry my 1911 45acp like that in cold weather and no one knows. Conceales better.
