Reviews & Ratings for DeSantis Ankle Leather Holster — 2 reviews — Page 1

For the reason a one star review is noted, I have to give the opposite opinion. I have ankle carried almost daily for 30 years for a Glock 27. I have used other ankle holsters that did not have the return loop (through the buckle eye) velcro strap that held the holster in place. I refer to ankle holsters with simple fold over hook and loop panels. Yes they are easier to put on and take off, but I have also had those spring loose during moderate movement involving a short sprint or while employing defensive tactics or movement. That is not when I want to be trying to recover a weapon. This holster provides a much more positive retention as it is secured to your ankle with wrap around and return velcro strap. No calf holster is needed. I always have the time to secure my weapon in a holster that won't leave me. Putting it on and off takes seconds. I am looking for this model in Glock 43. The Glock 43 is lighter than the 27, but my confidence has been earned with this model.

The holster was fine. However, the strap around the leg was less than perfect. In order to remove/install strap you are required to insert strap & pull back on the position of your leg. Thus rendering the installation/removal of this holster to require double the amount of time compare to Galco. I've had a Galco-ankle holster for a number of year & thought I'd try this. Within 30 minutes & could tell the holster wasn't for me. Do yourself a favor and get a Galco.
