The genuine sheep wool padding against your ankle provides superior breathability and moisture-wicking compared to synthetic materials like neoprene. This natural fiber prevents skin irritation during all-day wear, especially in warmer climates or during extended shifts. The soft wool conforms to your ankle's contours without creating pressure points, making it ideal for law enforcement officers, security professionals, or concealed carriers who need 12+ hour comfort. Combined with the breathable elastic band, this holster won't cause the chafing or sweating common with foam-padded alternatives.

The 1-inch plastic clip attaches to a standard shirt stay (the elastic straps that keep dress shirts tucked). When clipped, it creates upward tension that counteracts the weight of your firearm, preventing the holster from sliding down your calf during walking, running, or sitting. This is especially useful for plainclothes detectives or professionals wearing dress pants where readjustment isn't practical. Without a shirt stay, the clip can also attach to your sock or pant cuff for additional stability during active movement.

The 14" x 5" elastic band is designed to wrap around your bare ankle or over thin dress socks, then be concealed under a pant leg—not over boots. For tactical or duty boots, you'll need to wear this holster on your ankle beneath your pant leg, with the boot worn normally. The hook-and-loop closure adjusts to fit ankle circumferences from approximately 7" to 13", accommodating most adults. If you wear high tactical boots, ensure your pant leg has enough room to drape naturally over the holster without printing.

This holster uses a webbing strap with hook-and-loop closure that wraps over the top of your firearm, providing passive retention by securing the grip and slide. Unlike molded Kydex or trigger guard retention, this system allows you to carry multiple sub-compact models (different brands/sizes) in the same holster by adjusting strap tightness. The trade-off is a slightly slower draw compared to friction-retention holsters, but the versatility and comfort make it ideal for backup gun carry where speed is secondary to deep concealment and all-day wearability.

This ankle holster excels with dress slacks, khakis, or business casual attire—it's specifically designed for plainclothes and deep concealment scenarios. The slim 5" width and sheep wool padding create minimal bulk, allowing dress pants to drape naturally without printing. The breathable elastic won't snag on finer fabrics like polyester or wool blends. For best concealment, choose slightly looser or boot-cut pant legs. It's less ideal for skinny jeans or athletic wear where any ankle bulk becomes visible.
