Best ankle choice in a 9mm pistol?

[mjpell]

Considering a new purchase in a 9mm compact or sub-compact pistol for an ankle rig. Give me some opinions everyone...Not interested in revolvers or rugers..sorry. Wanting to find a pistol to compliment my side arm in 9mm for ankle carry only. Thanks.......

I bought a Sig P238 and really like it for CC. Very easy to conceal.

I carry a Glock 26 on my ankle.

 

[Glock19]

A nice 9mm hammerless revolver.

After visiting the range today and shooting my Glock 27 and 23 at 10, 20 and 30 yards the 23 was the real winner. The 27 with Federal 180gr HSTs put em pretty tight at 10 and 20 yards but, maybe because of the short sight radius, sprayed them into a 6" group about 5" above the aim point at 30yds. The 23 loves 180gr Speer Gold Dots and kept them an inch or two above point of aim from 10 out to 30 yards. The 30 yd group was about 3" off bags.

Why do I bring this up here? Because I've ankle carried the G23 before and with boot cut jeans and 6" high work-type boot it hides pretty well and is very comfortable to carry in a Galco Ankle Glove. I've belt carried it quite a bit but switched to the 27 when I knew I would have to wear it on the ankle when "concealed means concealed." But now with the really good accuracy and the 13+1 capacity of the 23 I'll carry it full time.

(My G30 did pretty good with 230gr GDs too. Surprisingly I've also ankle carried it and it's no problem. I'd hate to have to choose between getting hit in the chest with either round.)

I have carried a Sig P 238 on my ankle the past couple of years. Its small and I liked the gun, but I just sold it and now have a Sig P938 9mm. I love it.

I also have Glock 26, which is a great gun.

Glock 26 for sure!!! I'm looking to buy a glock 27 next if anyone has one

 

[Tydeeh22]

for those of us with chicken legs... diamondback 9mm?

If I was going to carry 9mm on my ankle it would be a single stack 9mm. Wouldnt recommend a kimber solo. I had a lot of problems with mine.

Glock 26. or in my case the Glock 27.

I'd vote for G26 or possibly the Ruger LC9. Although the LC9 is getting some poor feedback lately.

 

[GLOCK1982]

Going with the G26. Thanks for the input...

ruger lc9

That's what mine is. Compact, lightweight, reliable and very accurate within 15 yrds.

 

[flyboy727]

You wont be disappointed! I have had a Gen 3 and now a Gen 4, never a malfunction and easy to clean. I use pinky mad extension.

I would agree with g26 or the Shield; however the G26 could carry a little bit more weight. The shield would what I would want as a SubC
