Been using a Wilderness Renegade for 25+ years. Before being made by Wilderness they were made by a one man shop. The design was so popular that when he retired Wilderness picked it up...and I for one am glad they did.
Only issue I have had to date is that I need to put a piece of tape along the bottom edge of the male side of the Velcro where it rests near or on my boot top to keep it from eating the nylon or soft leather boot tops. Price is right and very comfortable. I have rigs from other companies and I always come back to the Renegade.

I really like the Alessi, but the 3+ month wait time is killing me. If it wasn't for that, I'd buy one off of your recommendation alone.
I will certainly look into it. Seems to be good reviews on it.
Thanks. I ended up buying it from them!
That Wildnerness rig has the right price for me. How is the retention with a revolver without the strap? I am probably in 8-12 chases a year, not a whole lot, but enough to warrant needing solid retention.
Good to know. Again, I really like the Alessi, just dont want to wait til summer to get one.
See what Ken Null can do for you time wise, he is one of the old school world class leather artisans just like Lou Alessi was and his ankle rig is the same style as the Alessi.
Do you wear boots on duty? If so check out C. Rusty Sherrick's Joes 11-7, Rusty first got into custom leather through Ken Null, he makes holsters for LA SIS and makes one of the only leather light bearing holster I've seen.

And if I could offer one teensy bit of advice?
Try very hard to keep the weight of the pistol under a pound. I remember having a conversation with Chuck Haggard. He said that he was pretty sure some of his knee problems were due to carrying a heavier BUG on his left ankle for years. He switched to an Airweight revolver (14 ounces), and that helped a great deal.
I'll double-check with him, but that's how I recall the conversation. And Chuck is definitely someone who's word on wheelguns I take as gospel.
Hope that helps.
I use this one

I know it looks like something from Uncle Mike's $11 holster on Amazon but it actually works great. Goes on like a sock, then has a zipper on the bottom half and a velcro strap on top. Once it's on it stays on. Doesn't twist, sag or come loose and it's breathable
We're considering a second pistol carrying concealed?
I think for law enforcement this is a serious consideration. They, unlike us, have to be able to close in and handle violent people and arrest them. A back up pistol is good nowadays not for a New York reload, because of the vastly increased capacity of modern guns, but in case their primary gets snatched. Then they may need the backup desperately.
Us ordinary packin' folk have no reasonable likelihood of that happening. If we have to reach for a back up pistol, we should have carried another magazine.
