Best Ankle Gun

[scaatylobo]

I wear a BUG [ with VERY few exceptions ] on the ankle and have done so for about 30 years.

I was LEO and I still like the possibility of a NYC reload if any reload is needed.

I have worn
High Standard .22 derringer
North American mini .22 revolver
O/U .45/410 derringer
.38 S&W bodyguard [ mod 38 ]
.38 S&W 442
Glock 27
Kahr PM.40
Ruger LCP
Seecamp .32
Charter Arms custom bulldog [ .44 SP ]
Rohrbaugh 9 MM
As you can see I tried many different guns and the answer for me was,what do I want in hand if my primary is down and my LIFE IS AT STAKE.
I decided that it must be a gun that I might actually carry as a primary,that was my way to view the question.
Most of my BUG's are carried in original Lou Alessi's or now Ritchie Leather rigs.
And btw I do practice at the range with live ammo and in home with EMPTY gun.

Well I like the S&W Model 49 Bodyguard. I've been carrying mine in an ankle holster in the summertime for many years. Also carried it in an ankle holster as my backup when I was a detective. Now that I'm back on patrol I carry it in a holster attached to my ballistic vest under my uniform shirt.

I still have the SM&A Colt P-9 and the Alessi ankle holster.

Now, if I could just bend over w/o falling over or returning to a standing position w/o assistance, they might be of some use. If we're lucky, time happens.

A stout stick and a John Paul Jones attitude just might suit my perceived needs a tad better than ankle access.
