I would not recommend an ankle rig unless it was for your "third gun". For years I worked plain clothes assignments as a DA Investigator. I was in some of the worst areas of SoCal. My duty weapon was a Glock 19 in a very secure DeSantis rig on my right hip. In my left front pants pocket was a S&W model 37 with a bobbed hammer in a Galco pocket rig. Extra mags were on my belt and in the left pocket of my sport coat, I kept an impact device, edged device, and a few other lightweight goodies. If you have to evac and area in a hurry, ankle rigs will not only slow you down, they can loosen and start spinning around your ankle. Been there, done that. The best weapon I had was the one between my two ears. Situational awareness and OODA techniques kept me in one piece until I was eligible to retire. H/T to Mr. Mike: I did not poke any wolverines in their nether regions unless I had a good plan in place and a secure method of egress.
Inside my car is a great place to pack my 12 gauge shotgun for "Unexpected Events" and on my belt is a 38 with two speed loaders close by. It does pay to be a bit paranoid in these days.

As long as some part of it says "tactical" somewhere, it'll probably be fine.

Look at how clean and new everything is. Wealthy man luxuries.
