TS...I have tried two different ankle holsters...DeSantes and Uncle Mikes both had pro and cons. Biggest con is comfort....you are always aware of the weapon and it bounces around a bit and as such not a huge fan. I have a buddy who wears an ankle holster on duty and he says its comfortable and he likes it...BUT the weapon he carries is a .25 so its not apples to apples. I have also seen boots that come with an integrated ankle rig...but can't remeber the manufacturer, but never new anyone to use it. In shorts and T shirt weather I use an (Uncle Mikes) inside the pants holster with my off duty Glock 27 or P7. I can wear a pair of gym shorts and a loose Tshirt and it is impossible to detect the weapon. I will be surprised if you find a way to comfortably carry a .45 on your ankle...just too much mass IMHO. The idea of an ankle weapon is to press the muzzle against the bad guys ribs, groin, upper lip, etc.. and squeeze 'til lock- back.. so the caliber is less important in that situation. Just my .02
