Not if you're sitting down, then it's very quick. Easy way to draw quickly while standing is just roll on your back and draw your leg up.
Sure, I discarded ankle carry in any case, it just is not a good way to carry, and so did most working LEOs with way more experience than myself. People are not always seated. I guess some of us must learn lessons the hard way.
But you're seated a lot of the time. Unless you have a different way of driving, you're always seated in a car. The Remora 3 in 1 also enable you to easily convert from a ankle holster to a IWB or even a pocket holster.
As an U.C. I spent some time in cars, however, 75 % of the time was spent standing or walking around, I thought ankle carry was a good way to carry, however, it made me walk funny too. The holster dump was the last straw.
Well I guess I'll join the liberals, hehe My everyday carry is a Canik TP9, I have other options but the Canik has eaten every type of ammo I have put through it. As an old time LEO I was issued a Ruger P89 and I got very used to a long double action pull followed by a short crisp single action pull. I spent a lot of time teaching myself to release the trigger until it re-engaged. That is how the Canik works and I love it. Now I know there are other options but I am an old timer with a serious stubborn streak!
I wear my Ruger LCR in the Remora 3 in 1 ankle holster. It's a wonderful holster system at a great price. If libs are confused about what firearms to buy you can imagine how they would be with holsters.
Yeah I like the remora too. Their shipping time lately has been a lot longer though. Just ordered some stuff from them 3 weeks ago and it's still "in manufacturing"
Back in the late 50's my partner slid on some icy steps, fell on his butt and took the 25 Browning out of his back pocket in pieces.
got one of the single action ones and then the double action version-both for 299 each. well made reliable firearms and great buys
I had one years ago. That was not the question. I was simply wondering how it broke up that way. The Baby Browning I had seemed a bit more solid.
I know the question/statement. I only said I bet he wish he had it back. I did see a S&W Sigma come apart after being dropped on concrete, but it was a Sigma.
It's the pre-war Belgium models that yield the high prices. Otherwise prices go down, sometimes quite a bit.
Nice. I wonder what he was doing with it. The small pistols went to internal security, Gestapo, police agencies. The Germans were always short on pistols.
I don't ankle carry any more, primarily because I've noticed that my feet are getting farther and farther from my hands, as I get older.
None of which addresses the question of just how the firearm in question managed to be broken into several, supposedly unusable pieces, during the incident that was described.
I wanted to know that too. My Baby Browning was made of steel, I do not see how it could break up just by sitting on it. Maybe a Raven or Davis could break up by sitting on it.
