I've seen the smart carry hide some full size weapons rather well. I also have one for my 640, but have not tried it with a full size handgun as of yet. The general consensus of LEO's in my department is that ankle holsters are terrible, except in very limited circumstances and only with a compact weapon.
If you do find one you like, I would be interested in hearing about it.
I might tend to agree with you as I'm not an LEO.

I carry there for reasons of my own and unlike LEO's I do not intend to get into a "physical fight" while wearing it. I only wear it when all other carry options are off the list.
