CrossBreed quickly gained a reputation for high-quality holsters constructed of some combination of leather, horsehide, or Kydex. A recent all-nylon ankle holster design was originally intended only for semi-automatic pistols, but now CrossBreed has launched a revolver-friendly ankle holster model.
One of the key components of a successful ankle holster is comfort. The ankle is a bony, protruding area that can easily chafe or allow part of an ill-fitting holster to dig into the skin. One of the ways to avoid discomfort while wearing an ankle holster is to make sure it’s the right holster for your gun. While heavier handguns may actually fit in the holster, they’ll soon become unwieldy and tiresome, if not downright painful. Small, light pistols work best for ankle carry, since these guns should be backup options to begin with.
The CrossBreed Ankle Holster for revolvers is designed with comfort in mind, as author Scott W. Wagner explains in his article “The CrossBreed Ankle Holster: Now Ready for Revolvers” at USConcealedCarry.com:
“A Cordura nylon holster is sewn onto the padded main ankle strap, which wraps around the leg and affixes with Velcro. There is an extra layer of padding between the holster and your ankle.” (Read more at USConcealedCarry.com)
In addition to comfort, the CrossBreed Ankle Holster is secure. There is a wrap-around locking strap that doubles across the holster twice before attaching to a Velcro fastener, assuring the holster will remain immobile once in place. The CrossBreed revolver holster also has a removable garter, which helps to support heavier guns.
The revolver holster will fit ankles up to 12 inches in circumference. The retention mechanism on the revolver ankle holster is a nylon/Velcro strap that must be manually set. A firm tug upon drawing and the revolver automatically clears the strap.
The CrossBreed Ankle Holster for revolvers offers an excellent backup carry choice or a deep concealment option for law enforcement personnel that prefer revolvers. The MSRP of $49.99 also includes CrossBreed’s two week try-it-free guarantee and lifetime warranty.
