Default 9c ankle holster?

I'm starting to think an ankle holster for my 9c may be a good idea. Has anyone used one with the compact? I'd like to hear some feedback on comfort/ reliability/possible issues/ concealability, etc.

Thanks in advance, y'all.

Not a big fan of ankle carry, even with a small gun. I would think the 9c would be a bit heavy for ankle carry.

I conceal my 9c in a Galco ankle holster everyday with out issue. I have never been spotted with it. It is by far the best method I have found for me to carry. It was about a week before I stopped noticing it was there, very comfortable.

Do you use the magazine with the finger extension or without?

I'm interested in this option as well. I usually wear cuffed dress pants to work and they tend to be a lighter fabric that should drape over the holster and 9c and conceal it well, I think.

I use one weekly, every Sunday morning. I sing in the church choir wearing a choir robe thus limiting access to most other means of carry. I have the 9C on my left ankle with the flush mag and carry a 17rd full size mag on my right ankle in a Galco ankle vault. total of 30 rounds available and can access while seated if necessary.

Yes, you notice the weight but remember the old line, carry is not comfortable, its comforting!

I'm also looking at an ankle carry holster for occasional use for my Compact 9c, for those times I'm in dress clothes with no jacket.
While we have Open Carry in Oklahoma, I don't wish to have my pistol exposed.
Been looking at the BugBite as well, but the weight and size of the 9c makes it questionable.

Well, ankle carry is not the best method to carry. Sometimes it's the only option for me. I have several ankle holsters, my favorite is the Comfort-Air by Telor Tactical.
