    Galco Ankle Glove.

    Search here and you will find about a dozen threads that are carbon copies of one another.

    Galco and DeSantis (I believe that's the other popular choice)

    Lather, rinse, repeat.



    I use the Ankle Glove for a Colt Pony. Small, but heavy for it's size.
    I can wear it all day with no discomfort.

    one thing I learned.

    How well it works may depend on the shoes/boots you wear as well as the size/shape of your leg.


    In this example you note the space under the holster between the holster and the top of the shoe.
    The holster may work it's way down the leg.





    To solve this problem, some offer calf straps to support from above.





    I've never needed that.
    If wearing with low shoes (usually running/hiking shoes) I place it low so it rests on the top edge of the shoe so it can't slide down.
    My jeans are long enough that it doesn't get exposed when seated.

    Same with 6" hiking boots - they are PERFECT for keeping the holster "up".

    I appreciate the pics and input! I usually wear some type of work boot, and rarely wear running or tennis shoes. I will have to experiment with it to figure out what works for me.

    Thanks again, Isaac
