The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Seems like it could lose the gun if too active?Here you go:

Well if fighting a guy in the front yard of a house at 0300 hours is "too active", then yes.
Only that once.

That’s what got me away from using ankle rigs for patrol. It might be a remote possibility but I was also concerned about a second offender seeing it and going for it while I’m busy with the first one.
I ceased using ankle rigs for patrol shortly thereafter. I carried ankle rigs off duty and in plainclothes for many years.

I live in one of the most "NPE" areas of the country. Out of necessity, I started playing with ankle rigs, originally for one specific use case, tried the Alessi and a few others, and once I found the Renegade I was hooked.
I'm right handed and my strong preference is an Airweight Centennial in a Renegade (made by Wilderness now) on the inside of my left ankle. I've carried that way most of the time off-duty, either as primary or a BUG, for the past twelve years and it works well for me.
I DO NOT carry ankle in uniform. It's just too hard for me to monitor dangerous things on my body spread that far apart. I also got the joy of watching a guy kick his gun across the room in a fight when I was a rookie and decided that just wasn't going to work for me.

It's true, they have closed up. Not a great loss as far as leather is concerned, since they never really put out a decent product after Lou passed.
There are several makers who make an Alessi style ankle rig - Prince, 5 Shot Leather (me) and a few others.
When Lou died, one of his partners took over; that gentleman died not long back and his daughter and her husband, if I recall, took over. Over the last several years online complaints about excessively long waits and poor communication piled up. A while back, website down and crickets.
If you can find any indication they're still in business, I'd like to know; their Deep Cover is the best J snubby IWB ever.
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
Bobby Mac's has some pretty nice snubby IWB rigs:

The SN-1 and SN-2 especially.

+1. LCR in an SN-1 is a “you can’t even feel you’re carrying anything” rig.
Only downside I know of is it requires you to thread your belt through it; no clipping to gym shorts for a trip to the mailbox if that is important to you. Have to be a bit patient with the lead time.
