The Ankle Deputy TM
Right Handed

The Smith & Wesson - S&W M&P 40 M2.0 is a large gun and will require at least a medium width pant leg to adequately conceal on your ankle. Narrow cut jeans or slacks will cause the gun to show through the pants. If your gun has a long magazine then you'll likely need wide cut pant legs.

Below are some pictures of various styles of pants and a brief description of how well they conceal a large gun on your ankle.

See Examples of Pants

Ankle Deputy Concealed by Slacks

These loose fitting slacks with a medium width pant leg provide good concealment for large frame guns with a compact grip. A Glock 30 is on the inside of the left leg. A gun with a long grip would probably be visible through the back of the pants.

Ankle Deputy Concealed by Denim

These denim jeans have a wide pant leg and can conceal even large guns with full size grips. Gun and holster are on the inside of the left leg.

Ankle Deputy Concealed by Tactical Pants

These tactical pants are a borderline case. In this picture a Glock 30 with a compact grip is on the inside of the left leg. The Glock 30 is fairly large and the grip is barely visible through the back of the pants. These pants would easily hide a smaller gun, but larger guns will require you to decide on your level of comfort with the amount of concealment.

Ankle Deputy Concealed by Skinny Jeans

These skinny jeans have narrow cut pant legs and visibly show the gun. These jeans are inadequate for ankle carry.

The Ankle Deputy is made by SideFire Holsters in the USA. This ergonomically shaped holster uses medical grade padded laminated fabric around your ankle. This padded fabric uses open celled foam making it breathable. Open celled foam is much more comfortable than closed cell neoprene (neoprene quickly gets sweaty and hot).

The Ankle Deputy has a strong breathable stretch band that wraps around your lower calf and velcros to the other side. It has a leather support sewn on the outside which allows the holster to be angled forward for the best concealment under your pant leg. The holster itself is made from durable ballistic nylon. It is padded and has a soft inner lining to protect the surface of the gun.

The Ankle Deputy will fit about 98% of people out of the box. If you have extra large lower calves, contact us and we can include a free extender.

An optional Calf Strap is available. Click here for more info.

Info About Optional Calf Strap

The Smith & Wesson - S&W M&P 40 M2.0 is large and heavy for ankle carry. We recommend buying the optional calf strap with the ankle holster. The calf strap is ergonomically shaped to fit around your upper calf, which distributes the weight of the gun over more area on your leg. Additionally the calf strap prevents the holster from sliding down past your ankle bone due to the weight of the gun. This makes it more comfortable to wear a heavy gun on your ankle.

Some holsters makers are using a shoe insert to support their ankle holster. We've heard from customers that this shoe insert is not comfortable. These customers prefer the Ankle Deputy's padded calf strap system since the calf strap is better at distributing the weight of the gun.

With the optional calf strap is also included a cinch strap at no extra charge. The cinch strap holds the gun closer to your leg and provides additional stability while walking. Wearing the cinch strap is optional.
