    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! :)

    If I'll be driving a lot, I wear one and tuck my pant leg behind it for easy access.

    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.

    A Belgium Baby Browning in excellent condition can go well into the $600 price range.

    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.

    I used to see Baby Browning frames for sale in Shotgun News and Gun Parts Corp.

    It's the pre-war Belgium models that yield the high prices. Otherwise prices go down, sometimes quite a bit.

    I understand that.
    Mine was a Nazi marked War era gun, a Trophy gun off a German soldier.

    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.

    That's a feature not a bug.

    No, it is a Gun Control scheme, developed by S&W, Guns break apart when dropped.
