Do any of you have any recommendations?

I want good quality, comfort, and low profile as this will be a daily BUG.

If you're going to go for ankle carry, I don't think there's an substitute for the Ken Null; see http://www.klnullholsters.com .

Thanks. It's for an ultra-light 2" revolver.

Renegade Ankle Holster. Their phone # was 602-482-6777 when I got mine a year ago for about $45.

I like my ankle Renegade holster very much, but as a back up only, or as posted, a BUG holster.

As a primary carry, well I cannot say enough bad about an ankle carry.

It's only for BUG purposes. The revolver is so light that I think it will be comfortable on the ankle.

Cuylar-

You may want to give Streichers a call (or stop by if you get up to the cities). There are a few employees there who I know carry on the ankle. One for sure uses a Galco...

Regardless, they'll be able to tell you what they see purchased the most, and that might be a helpful indicator.

What Joel said. I have an Alessi (similar in design) and it is very comfortable and secure. Just bought another Alessi to give one to my wife. I should order a J-frame ANK from Null, but am waiting to see if I was good enough to get one for Christmas.

The best thing about the Null/Alessi design is that the leather and velcro connector tab pulls back through a metal loop, making the tightness of the entire holster far easier to get right the first time (instead of put on, too loose, take off, adjust, too tight, take off...) and more secure. The gun is held tight without a strap. And the felt backing is more comfortable than the sheepskin or the neoprene that others use.

5 Shot Leather learned from Lou Alessi, and his ankle holster should be good.

I found (through a Google search) that Prince Gun Leather has one that looks the same, but I know nothing about the company or products.

I have also tried the Desantis Apache, and it is OK: not as comfortable by a long way, harder to put on, and impossible to re-holster without taking the whole thing off first. The Apache is similar to the pics of the Renegade that I have seen; the Renegade gets better reviews.
