ankle gun

Hidden leg firearm

An ankle gun is a small firearm worn in a holster strapped around the lower leg, concealed beneath trousers.

It serves as a backup weapon, typically carried by law enforcement or for personal defense when a primary hip holster isn't practical: He reached for his ankle gun when his service weapon jammed.
