It was ok when I was young and able to bend quickly to retrieve my gun. But now I'm to old. I carried in an ankle holster with a BUG when I was a LEO. Sometimes with a CA Bull Dog 44 or a Star PD 45. I'm long retired now and I don't carry a BUG, but I can understand why someone sound want to. I'm strictly a defensive carrier now do I just carry big bore and enough ammo. One thing I noticed back then. Don't try to run with an ankle hoster. That's why I changed and started carrying it in the Velcro flap of my bullet proof vest.
