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.
I just went and I don’t see you in 2019 donors. Are you sure that you have donated to FR? It would be terribly hypocritical for you to be bashing on every post that you don’t like, a la Humblegunner, but then have not donated yourself...
More people Posting here do not Donate than do.
Are we now shaming People on FR?
I am a Monthly Donor, have been for years, but Donating here is strictly voluntary.
If we are instituting a Donate or STHU Policy, please have it added to the Main Page.
I am calling out Lucido and Humblegunner for their constant bullish** on every thread they don’t like. Lucido is the one who demanded the donation, not me.
Thanks for the clarification. My apologies.
We make no such demands. All of our users are welcome to post whether they donate or not. We truly appreciate all of our users and readers and donors, but we only list the names of those who wish to be listed. No one should criticize other users for not being on a list. Thanks
Which was my point, thanks.
I'm glad that you are able to point out things you don't like.
Hopefully nobody will start crying about that.
Right?
Because posting about things you don't like is really bad.
Right?
I don’t try to have articles I don’t like removed from FR, unlike you and Lucido. I note that both of you seem to take issue with gun-related articles. Maybe you are the same person?
Neither do I. Have you any example of this?
Maybe you are the same person?
If it wasn't for you meddling kids, we would have gotten away with it.
Now what?
You found us out.
Am I now to be spanked or something?
Will you write mean words?
You sound like that idiot Humblegunner.
Looks like you are harboring some hostility.
Did something happen to you as a child?
Tell me about it.
I gave your mom a donation.
I seem to have missed some excitement.
Ah, the FReepathon, yes! Our FRiend was asking about it.
Indeed, it is voluntary! I like to help promote the voluntary FReepathon voluntarily every chance I get.

I like voluntarily inviting our resident posting bots to donate voluntarily, every chance I get. Sometimes more than one invitation helps. I encourage them to get on the “Big Board.” It’s voluntary, but I say, “Be not shy!” “Be Bold!” If you are not too show to robo-post, then also robo-donate boldly and voluntarily. But just do it! Voluntarily!
Mr. FReeper kept asking where my donation was and I kept saying it’s unimportant but findable, and here he is three days later voluntarily and inexplicably obsessing about it for some reason when he might be out, you know, doing things. Anyway, here is a link to one of the boards where you will find yours truly but I say, that isn’t really that important. What’s important is to help others see the light and to voluntarily robo-donate as well as voluntarily robo-post and robo-spam, but voluntarily of course.

If you are not too show to robo-post = If you are not too shy to robo-post
Dang robo-typos.
Your Mom’s donation box is overflowing.
This is a thread about ankle holsters, which you hijacked because you have some kind of G-ddamned vendetta against gun threads, just like Humble”gunner.” You need to cool your jets and find a new hobby.
