Also remember that the ankle is a really tough place to draw a firearm from. FWIW, I would never carry a primary in an ankle holster, but as far as a back up goes..I'm all for it. Doc
Agreed on all points! I can't specifically recommend a brand, but I will fully support that it's the place for a backup gun rather than a primary. Your primary gun should be somewhere on your waistline. Front or back, right or left is up to you and dependent on the circumstances.
You never want to go cheap on any holster, but especially not on a ankle or shoulder holster. Cheap, flimsy holsters make carrying a gun almost unbearable. A proper investment into a good holster makes the gun far less noticeable to others and far more comfortable for you.
Where ever you carry, practice draws at home from standing, sitting, supine, prone and various compromised positions. Some of these get quite intersting with ankle or shoulder holsters. I hope you find the solutions that fit your situation.
Remember that gunfights are only scripted in the movies. If you could choose the circumstances of your next gunfight, you wouldn't show up!

Since you can't choose, you make the best of a crappy situation.
