Non-Junk Ankle Holster

Does anyone know of a real, quality ankle holster for the LCP? I bought one from one of the major plastic manufacturers hoping it would turn out to be a viable option, and it's crap. Uncomfortable, unstable, unyielding. The plastic holster itself is a poor fit for the LCP, although it retains well enough, but holds the gun a good half inch off the ankle, which is not conducive to comfort or concealment. The wide velcro strap does little to stabilize the holster and I gave up on it quickly after having a gun around my foot more than once in a fairly public place.

So I need something that is leather or good cloth/nylon, will mold to my leg, and has a secure method of retention (like a garter that goes around the top of my calf).

I would buy something from my usual leather supplier, but they don't make ankle holsters. Mind you this is always a backup gun for me, I'm just looking for an alternative to pocket carry. I'm carrying a big .45 on the hip 24/7 anyway.

Don't know if Galco makes an ankle glove for the LCP yet, but both my father and I carry our Kahr P9s in one and can't reccomend it highly enough. About $65. Also, the Fobus one looks nice, and I've had good experience with them.
Don't let anyone here try to talk you out of ankle carry, either. I can get my Kahr out of an ankle holster with jeans on faster than I can get it out of my IWB holster.
