That sounds great for concealment, but impossible to draw without
asking the bad guy to pause for some pant cuff pulling!

All depends how tight you wear your Wranglers. I could have the pants legs up and hand on the grip in seconds. But remember, ankle carry is NEVER a quick-draw solution - one reason I don't use it anymore. If I'm carrying what amounts to a BUG as primary weapon, strong side front pocket is my MO now. Don't wear those tighter cowboy-cut wranglers anymore either for same reasons.

I'm at 93 days now. I have lots of questions about carrying, mostly on the physical side of things. I have 3 pistols that I need to try:
G30 with DeSantis IWB holster, M&P9 with Galco Concealable holster, and a Taurus Millenium Pro 9mm with Galco pancake (forgot the model)
I'm also considering a S&W Airweight if none of the previous combinations are comfortable.
Appreciate any advice you all may have on carrying the above named pistols. Thx.

Any of your semi auto configurations should work fine if you're sufficiently "covered" - Hawaiian shirt in summer, jacket in winter. Just pick the one that works for you and carry it often so you get used to it. I actually recommend NOT wearing too many different pistols/holsters at first because you want to be 100% comfortable and confident with your main carry piece as soon as possible.

But for those hot summer days wearing not much more than a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops (of if "dressed nice" with tucked in shirt and slacks), a S&W airweight j-frame is a tremendous pocket gun.

I got by my first 8 or so years of CCW with a Glock 23 in a Galco Royal Guard IWB and a Charter Arms Undercover .38 in front pocket or clipped inside by Roper boots as my only two choices.
