The Gun Sox Ankle Holster
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 8/2/2019 | J Dickson

Posted on 08/02/2019 5:20:36 AM PDT by w1n1

The need for a back-up or hide-out pistol goes hand in hand with holsters made for out of the way places, like ankle holsters. I have used ankle holsters that ranged from wearable to painful but I have finally found one that you can actually carry the gun in without noticing it. These are intended for maximum concealment, not fast draw, but ankle holsters are never very good for fast draws.

The Gun Sox Stretx Holstering System from Cheata Tactical consists of a well padded stretch sock-like section that goes between the ankle and the knee. It comes in the original full lower leg length and a mid-calf length for those wearing boots. On each side is a pocket for a pistol covered by a wide stretch flap that completely covers the grip of the gun carried. The pistol itself has its trigger guard inside the pouch for more secure carrying. The padding effectively prevents the gun from digging in and gouging your leg. One or both pockets can also be used to carry valuables safely away from pickpockets.

Drawing the gun is accomplished by jerking back the retention flap to expose the grip and the back of the slide. This can be done with one hand but is faster and more sure if two hands are used – one to pull the flap up and one to draw the pistol, the same way some men draw from a military flap holster.
This system is designed for small- and medium-sized pistols and holds them quite securely when running or jumping. You never have to worry about your pistol bouncing out. I know a policeman who was chasing a suspect when a flash of light caught his eye. It was his S&W M60 snub nose .38 bouncing out of his ankle holster and going flying through the air. That won't happen with this holster. Read the rest of ankle holster.

This looks like an advertisement. For your clickbait blog and the clickbait advertiser.

Don’t get this crap. Get a Galco Ankle Glove if you need something like that.

What's that in your pocket?
A communication device.
What's that bulge on your waist?
A colostomy bag.

A fellow I know in NY always carries in an ankle holster. It really looks very uncomfortable, but he wears loose cargo jeans so nothing shows.

If you don’t have anything to add, don’t comment. You sound like that idiot Humblegunner. I think that Am Shooting Journal needs better editors, but I do find some of their articles interesting, and so do others here. Maybe you should start your own forum, and then you can ban whatever content you like. In the meantime, leave us alone at FR.

It’s an informative, helpful post. If you don’t like it, butt out.

I’ll be reminding the blog pimp and his freeloading advertisers to donate every time they remind me (especially during FReepathons).

Admittedly, I haven’t donated near as much spam and clickbait as the roboposters. I can only donate cash (which a quick check would have shown). Alas, I don’t have the spelling deficiency required to be a blogger.

Where is the link to show your donation? I already checked at the link on the main page, and it doesn’t show a donation from you, but in fairness, it doesn’t show my most recent donation. Would you please give me the link which shows our donations?

As an aside, does anyone recognize his foot wear?

I’m heading out, my FRiend, but follow these headers at the top of the page. You’ll find me (and believe me, I’m not worth the time spent doing this) and you’ll find virtually no posting bots (actually, there are one or two, to be fair again).
