BUGBite Concealment Calf Holster

First, Amazon. They do what they do better than anyone. They have redefined retail commerce. Now the holster. I have an S & W M & P Bodyguard 380. I carry it in a Vedder Kydex IWB holster (molded specifically for the Bodyguard) or a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. Both are great products from really fine companies. I wanted to try ankle carry; but every holster I tried felt bulky and uncomfortable. And some were very expensive. When I saw the BUGBite calf holster, I was interested. Interested enough, after reading the company's description and reading lots of reviews (to be fair, not all good), that I decided to order one. Amazon delivered, as always. I purchased Size B, though I measured very close to Size C, feeling that tighter would be better. On Day 1, I decided to try the holster under jeans (carpenters, no skinny jeans for me) and pulled it on over a thin over-the-calf cotton sock. On a brief trip out, it felt like it was sliding down and the Bodyguard seemed to slip out of the holster. It just didn't feel secure. I made plans to return it. On Day 2, I decided to try again and pulled it on over my calf, with no sock under it, then put on some Nike exercise pants. I positioned the holster provision so that the Bodyguard was slightly forward on my calf, cinched the Velcro strap and zipper tight, and went for a walk with my dog. After a brisk mile plus, to my surprise, there was no slippage and the Bodyguard stayed right where I put it. It was comfortable and I was never concerned about losing the weapon. I think I could easily have worn it all day. The only really minor negative is that the Neoprene sleeve was a little hot on my leg. But that doesn't merit a demerit. So, instead of sending it back, I'm writing this review. Of course, I write after only two days with the BUGBite. It wasn't cheap (though it won't break the bank), so I am hopeful that it retains its elasticity, holds its shape and functions just like it did today. I won't wear it daily, maybe not even often. But it's nice to have the option. It's a great little holster. I recommend it.

This is the most comfortable way to carry a small auto. You don't even feel it after a few carries and it does not slip down. I would point out that moister from sweat can cause rust after a time. Also, it's a slow draw practice. If your in a car etc it's quick

This is a nice product. Comfortable and fits both my snuby revolver, and my compact 9mm. Was worried I did not buy the right size... but fits well, so their sizing chart seems spot on. One down side is it places the gun higher then most "ankle" holsters. It rides up on the calf rather than on the ankle. This makes access a bit slow and a little cumbersome. Ankle holster are not a quick access option any way, but rather a "last ditch" thing. Primary carry should be on the upper body some place, so not sure this is really an issue.

Most Comfortable Ankle Holster ever.!! BUGBite Concealment Calf Holster I measured at roughly 14.5, so naturally I selected the size B. (13.5 to 15.5 inch) Honestly is goes on rather tightly around my sock. You have to stretch the holster to get it all the way on. Hopefully it will hold up from the stretching I put it through everytime I put it on. Also, after wearing it for over 5 hours you might realize you need to pull it up and re-adjust the tightness. I have the Ruger 380 LCP and it’s about the smallest conceal pistol out there and I am extremely happy with my purchase. There are a few complaints about jogging and running upstairs and the pistol might fall out. That has never happened to me and I’m very active. Yes another velcro strap should have been added to hold down the pistol like it does for a magazine, however I have yet to have any issues with my pistol ever dislodging out of the designed pocket. There is another strap to tighten around your calf, but it’s uncomfortable if you over tighten it. Honestly there are times when I forget I’m even wearing this holster. I have 3 other conceal holsters and there are pros and cons with each of them, mainly being uncomfortable around your stomach, (under your belt) however you should never have this issue (discomfort) with a calf holster. Yes I would recommend and even purchase another if needed. Spending over $50 for such a small piece of neoprene is rather pricey, but I’m still happy with my purchase.

I used this for summertime carry in an Ariat work boot. Only carried a small.380 pocket pistol. The holster was light and not hot. Wore it daily through half of July, August and September. Took it out again when weather got warmer and the cinch buckle broke on the second day. The other material in the holster is of such good quality, it is a shame that a cheap, plastic buckle ruined it.

Absolutely comfortable piece of gear. Feels like a compression sock for me so it feels amazing lol. I wore it for the first time today and probably did about 5 to 6 miles today in it. Holster never shifted nor ever felt like it didnt have the weapon secured. I had a ruger lcp (gen 1) along with a spare magazine. I noticed once I took the gun out of the holster it had a bit of moisture on it from wearing it all day. If you ever had a ruger you know thats a bad thing cause the finish causes them to rust easy. Easy fix though. Wiped the moisture off and put a light coat of oil on the slide. Thats my only negative about the holster is the moisture build up.

Glock 43 is my primary edc. Wearing it on my waist (iwb/owb) always feels like I’m carrying a brick on my belt. I’ve tried several ankle holsters and this is the most comfortable one on the market. Holds my Glock 43 snug and secure. Only drawback is it’s a little difficult to put on and off but the wearability off sets this for me. I latterly forget I have it on. Wearing your edc on the ankle may not be the best choice in a bad situation but it’s comfortable and I feel better knowing it will be there if I need it.
