Hello, I carry daily a revolver in a Renegade ankle holster. Most frequently it is a Smith and Wesson, model 442 ("blued" Airweight Centennial). If not the 442, I carry in my Renegade ankle holster a S&W 640-1 or Ruger SP101 (bobbed hammer). FWIW, I am not bothered by the weight of the SP101 (~25-27 oz). The primary reason I don't wear it more often is because of the grip size--I currently have a Hogue Monogrip on it, and it is a bit long and sometimes prints when it is extremely windy out.
I am in the market for a semi-auto ankle gun. I would prefer it be 9mm or above. The only gun I currently own that might even conceivably be suitable for the job is a Sig P239 in 9mm. The height of the 239 is only a millimeter or so taller than the 442 sporting Pachmayr Compacs. Although I don't have an ankle holster to test it in, I think it MAY be okay. Experience anyone?
But, as always, I would like to keep an open mind. What other popular semi-autos are often serving ankle duty? This would be a primary during work, and possibly a backup outside of work.
Thanks!
