Robo's Review of Galco Cop Ankle Band Holsters, Leather
I was looking for backup carry of a Ruger LCP II (other than pocket carry) and decided to give this a try. If your calf/ankle area is pushing the large size, that 13 inches doesn't leave a lot of velcro to attach the holster snugly. Galco should offer a simple extender (the one they offer with the suede is overkill for somebody looking to just have a snug fit). I solved that problem by taking a quality neoprene can coozie, cutting the bottom off and cutting up the side at the stiching. Picked up a velcro tab from Hobby Lobby, cut to size and sewed the velcro pieces on each end of the coozie strip. Works great (the coozie I used was black so matches original holster material). The holsters padding is comfortable and helps pressure point on the inside of the leg area. Strap retainer is plenty long (no doubt to accommodate how different pistols fit) but you can trim that with scissors to fit desired size. One other thing to fix ... there is a button snap at the top of the retention strip which is metal. The back is unprotected which means it's going to rub your gun frame/slide area. I had some of those felt circular patches (Home Depot or Lowes has them) used for placing on the bottom of chairs to protect floors, problem solved - covers the back of the button and protects gun. With the above modifications, the gun fits snug and comfortable enough to forget you have it on.
