It isn't often but every once in a while there really is no other way to carry but on the ankle. Yesterday, it was hot as heck and we had to attend my brothers wedding. It was a little formal so no untucked shirts and the lite shirt I was wearing would not cover in my Vedder tuckable IWB holster.
Out comes the DeSantis ankle holster. It is surprising how well this holster hangs on to the gun. I've even danced with it on occasion and it doesn't feel unsecure at all. The sheepskin lining is very comfortable on my bony legs and it doesn't create any hotspots at all. They do make a calf support but I've never felt the need for it. It rides a little low but I wear my pants down on my shoes and I've never had a problem with the gun getting exposed.
The GeePlate on the 43 is an absolute necessity for ankle carry if you ask me. My meat hook hands really like the extra purchase that it provides on the short grip. I can't imagine trying to get the 43 out of that holster with a good grip without it. I don't think of the 43 as a pocket gun but it really shines on the ankle or, if I can get away with it, a tuckable holster. Very short and thin and it's a glock so it feels similar to my 26, 19, and 30S. Obviously not in size and weight but well.........you know what I mean.
Have a good one.
