CrossBreed Ankle Holster

CrossBreed put their ankle holster on sale last week, so I figured I'd try it to make my 642 snub a BUG.
Initial test showed that when they say ankle, they mean ankle! I wear boots most days, and the holster strap will not reach around my meager, non-athletic calf. Thus, the BUG-at-ankle will only happen when I am wearing low quarter shoes.
That said, the adjustability of the holster itself and the included calf strap (which you can remove completely if you wish) is pretty good.
Also, be sure to watch the YouTube videos on how to size and set it up. Setting the retention strap for only just enough velcro contact behind the gun, then practicing breaking it open by shoving your thumb behind it, is critical to learning how to draw. Without that knowledge, you would try to rip the velcro strap from the outside of the holster, which is too difficult and takes too long.

There's no way you're going to get your pant leg up that far for a draw under stress anyway.

You opponent is going to think your hot for him or something.

Final report: I really like the design, but the strap is too short to fit properly where I need to place it on my calf. I contacted CrossBreed (live chat with customer service), and they make only the one size; according to the website, "All Ankle holsters will fit up to a 12” circumference ankle."
I am sending it back for refund under their two-week trial policy.
