Ankle holsters how will you know it will work for you?
One problem I have run into and some of our customers have asked about is how do they know if a holster will work for them. The answer is the obvious one, you gotta put it on and try it out. The majority of our customers are responsible, but we’ve had people walk up to us and lift a shirt or a jacket and show us what gun they are carrying, and if I didn’t know they were customers, I would probable have pulled a firearm on them and yelled “Freeze”. I saw a funny quote at a gun shop that warned shoppers to not expose firearms because there would be severe consequences.
Finding a gun shop that actually stocks gun holsters is a chore. Many gun shops in my neck of the woods only stock the big sellers, which are usually paddle holsters or tactical holsters. Finding good concealed carry or CCW holsters is hard. I went shopping at several gun shops that stocked Galco holsters, but not a single one had a place for me to try on an ankle holster and the clerks seemed annoyed when I asked. The best way to shop for holsters is to find a distributor that has a good exchange or return policy. That way if you know it doesn’t feel right you can just return it. Holster packaging seems to be designed for holsters to taken out and put back in, there’s a reason.
