  • Wondering how best to use ankle holsters? What to look for when you're shopping for one? How to use one? Look no further. Alien Gear Holsters is here to give you the information you need on ankle carry.
    You can see our ankle holsters online at: aliengearholsters.com/ankle-gu...
    The biggest attributes you want from an ankle holster are comfort and retention security. These are important attributes for any carry holster, and they are certainly important for any ankle holster to have.
    Many ankle holster designs are either a single strap or a garter-type strap system, which tends to slip over the course of the day. While they can be comfortable, many leave much to be desired when it comes to carry security. Additionally, many ankle holsters are "universal" designs that fit many pistols poorly, usually requiring a thumb strap to even retain the gun.
    Therefore, take care to select an ankle holster with adequate support. It should be molded for your make and model pistol and offer sufficient retention without need of an active retention device.
    You also want to select an ankle holster that can be adjusted once you put it on. Height adjustment is also a good attribute for an ankle holster as well, which can accommodate multiple types of footwear throughout the year. Strap adjustment is also necessary.
    Ankle carry also imposes certain requirements on what clothing you choose for carrying.
    You should choose pants that are loose enough to let you easily draw the lower pant leg above the handle of your pistol. If you have issues getting your pant leg up your calf, then they are too tight. This doesn't require you to wear bell-bottoms; any relaxed-fit pants will typically work.
    Now, ankle carry is typically reserved for a backup gun rather than a primary carry gun. It is easier to access while sitting or if you wind up on the flat of your back, but is difficult to access otherwise.
    Make sure to practice the draw from your ankle holster. Clear your cover garment with your non-shooting hand. Bend over or kneel to get to the pistol rather than bringing your leg up, as this will compromise your balance. Also practice accessing the pistol from a seated position.
    Alien Gear Holsters' ankle holsters are made in the USA, and come backed by a lifetime guarantee. You can see more on ankle carry practices as well as our ankle holsters by visiting our site at:

    Mine just came in for my Springfield Hellcat OSP, i work outside all day running my lawncare business. So i move ALOT, hands down the best holster i have used so far for a small emergency pistol. Usually when riding the mowers the bumps would shake around the other holsters and pistols, had it fall out before with others. It now stays in place and is super easy to get to.
    MY ONLY COMPLAINT. first layer you wrap on your ankle to steady the shank, i think it would be better if it was already attached at the front with a stretching material, then followed by the strap it already has.

    • @wraith3951
      @wraith3951 3 роки тому +2

      U stated that correctly. The only thing I hate about this holster is the ankle/ heel piece that you put on first. I am going to get someone to see an elastic strap to the front of that so it braces it completely otherwise it pretty much barely hangs on to the tip of my heel only because of the weight and little stick brace that goes into it. My 2nd option is to order the ankle/ heel piece for someone that will use it on their right leg (left hand draw) that way it can be used more like a sock with the neoprene on the front
      I also have 2 Hellcat OSP. 1 with a Red Dot and 1 without

      another wheel chair user here, i have been carrying for 9 years now. ankle carry is great for me do it every day with my sw shield or glock 26. i have not used alien gears holster and may not due to the part that goes under the heels seem excessive and for someone who has issues with their legs and feet difficult to put on. i use the desantis apache ankle holster and never had a issue. the hard shell of the alien gear looks awesome though even only they removed the heel part. also a chest rig works great for wheel chair use, no hassle with a belt digging it to the waste and its accessible. i do carry IWB once in a while when i cant wear a jacket to cover a chest rig the brands i have tried are desantis bravo concealment and galco and love them. wearing a stiff belt does both the waste a bit after several hours but in specific situations its a must and just moving around a bit helps. i am in no way bashing alien gear holsters i personally do not own one yet i am doing my research as well on their chest holsters and ankle holsters to see if they will work for me.

Was looking for a holster for a new gun I bought when I looked on your web site for the ankle holster I was wearing and then I realized I forgot the small first thing you are to put on. Still was comfortable without it.

I carried a Glock 27 in a standard ankle holster from other companies and was never really happy with them and always was paranoid that my gun was going to be exposed. I think with this design, a lot of my ingrained fears are well addressed. Thx.

    @AdoreYouInAshXI 3 роки тому +7

    Good video, I picked one up a few days ago and it's taking some getting used to. There is a plastic piece on the trigger guard of the shell that's definitely a bit uncomfortable if you wear the holster in a higher position. So keep that in mind. It's especially worse if you have a higher boot on that comes up around the gun and pushes the gun even harder into your leg. I've found that loosening the straps up just a tad bit helps. As for this video I would have suggested that you show how to assemble the shell into the right configuration to use with the ankle holster setup. Maybe a few up close shots of the assembly and adjustment. Other than that, great guide to the best ankle holster on the market in my opinion.

      @Aliengearholsters  5 років тому

      Hello DJ. Thank you for your feedback. Regrettably, Shapeshift is not yet compatible with revolvers at this time. The injection molding of each shell must be very precise and match the firearm.
      This can be a bit more of a challenge with the cylinder to accommodate for, instead of the shape of the trigger guard.
      We may explore into this further as time goes on, so be sure to subscribe to our newsletter if you haven't already for the latest updates!
      On that note, our sister company, Tactica Defense Fashion also has an ankle holster that might work with your Ruger LCR .357.

    That ankle holster is an engenious design.
    I am thinking about developing a kit that creates a slit on your pants and closes up with magnets, so you can slide your hand into the slit quickly and draw faster.
    it will be a below the junk carry, that the gun is carried in a level 2 retention holster on the inside of the thigh with your pants giving full concealment, again a slit seeled buy magnets is your access point.
    To further elaborate the slit kit will have the ability to blend with most fabric. It will have reinforced points and guiding sections so you slide your hand straight down to defeat the enclosed cloth and your hand will be on the gun in an instant.
    I would really appreciate your input.

I am waiting patiently for the Bodyguard to appear in your ShapeShift lineup specifically for this ankle carry (which is regarded as the best ankle carry option in 2021!!!).

      Our ankle holster can be worn above boots that are shorter than 4.75" from the heel.
      The gun will ride in boots taller than 4.75" from the heel.
      It works great with cowboy boots, or any other type of boot you can swiftly clear your pants leg over.

      Hello Hunter. We appreciate your feedback. Regrettably, Shapeshift is not yet compatible with revolvers at this time. The injection molding of each shell must be very precise and match the firearm. This can be a bit more of a challenge with the cylinder to accommodate for, instead of the shape of the trigger guard.
