Best Budget Ankle Holster???

[Richwon4]

I need to start carrying on my ankle. What is the best ankle holster out there with $$ being a legitimate factor here. I don't want to sink bigger $$into something I will decide against. What is the deal with the calf strap holsters? Thanks guys.

Budget means different things to different people. Give us a price range.

 

[Richwon4]

35 or less

Desantis Apache ankle holster. $30 or less, durable, has a sheepskin pad on the back, and is secure. Its not my favorite kind of thumb break, but it's tough to beat in that price range.

Do they make the DeSantis Apache in sizes?

Not really, you can pick your gun from adrop down on their website and get Desantis' SKU to match an online sellers product to. I HIGHLY recommend a few more bucks for the Galco Ankle Glove.

Nope. It has plenty of adjustment. I can wear mine over just a sock or over a boot with no problem.

Galco ankle glove.... I don't think you will like ankle carry w/out one. I have tried several trying to save some dough and the only real way to save that money would have been to spend it upfront on the ankle glove.

Some of it depends on what you're carrying in it, I'm sure. I've carried in the Desantis daily for about 2 years or so and have no complaints other than the slower style thumb break.

You didn't say what type of firearm. If you are going to be carrying a J-Frame (or other snub nose revolver), I would highly recommend the Galco Ankle Glove. I would bet money that it works well with sub compact semi-autos too.

If you do get something in your desired price range, put it to the test as soon as you strap it on for the first time. Stick your unloaded firearm in it and run hard for twenty or thirty feet. Might as well find out early on how your holster will perform.
