I do ankle carry during duty. It is with the understanding that it's an backup and an O.S. situation.
1. Carry it on the inside of opposite leg. If you're righty, then inside of the left leg. This is for security. On the outside (I've actually seen this) it tends to print and hit things as you walk.
2. Never bend down to retrieve it. Step into a lunge, grab the pant leg below the knee with the left hand as you lunge, drawing your weapon. This does a couple of things. Keeps your eyes on your opponent (as opposed to bending down), greater base, and lowering yourself making your self a smaller target. Keep your feet loaded to be able to get back up quickly and move if needed.
Hopefully this helps.
