The Allen Hideout ankle holster is a versatile concealed carry option for shooters who want a backup gun or deep-carry solution that works for either hand. Built with breathable dual-layer nylon and engineered for all-day comfort, this ambidextrous ankle holster fits most compact and subcompact handguns and works equally well for right- or left-handed draw. If you carry regularly but need a holster that stays hidden under long pants or in situations where a standard waistband carry isn't practical, the Hideout delivers security without the bulk.
Ankle holsters have made a comeback among serious carriers—whether as a backup gun, off-body option, or primary carry for certain activities like hiking or overlanding where a traditional holster might snag. The Hideout's one-size-fits-most design and adjustable strap mean you're not hunting for the perfect fit; you dial it in for your firearm and your body. The ventilation zones built into the fabric help manage moisture and heat during long days in the field, which matters when you're wearing a holster against skin.
Allen has been making holsters for decades, and this design reflects that know-how—straightforward, functional, and built to last. The black nylon finish is durable and low-profile, and the pocket-style adjustable strap keeps your gun secure while staying out of sight. For hunters, backcountry enthusiasts, or anyone running a backup gun as part of a layered carry system, the Hideout is a no-nonsense choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Hideout fit my handgun?
The holster is designed as one-size-fits-most for compact and subcompact firearms. If you're unsure whether your specific gun will fit, verify its dimensions against typical compact carry pistols (such as the SIG P365, Glock 43, or similar models). The adjustable strap provides additional retention adjustment.
Can I use this holster for both right and left-hand draw?
Yes. The Hideout is fully ambidextrous, so it works equally well for right- or left-handed shooters without any modification.
How does the Hideout compare to other ankle carry options?
The dual-layer nylon and ventilation zones set it apart for extended wear. Many shooters use ankle holsters as a backup gun or deep-carry option in situations where a standard waistband holster isn't practical, such as backcountry hunting or gear-heavy activities like overlanding.
Is the Hideout comfortable for all-day wear?
The breathable nylon fabric with ventilation areas is engineered for comfort during extended carry. Fit and comfort vary by individual and firearm weight; the adjustable strap lets you customize retention and positioning for your needs.
