I carry a Glock 27 as a backup for the Glock 22 I carry as a duty weapon. If the 22 fails on me I can still utilize all the magazines on my belt in the Glock 27 as it is the same caliber and accepts the same magazines. I carry it weakside in my cargo pocket in a Desantis pocket holster. If I find myself in a situation I'm fighting to retain my duty weapon, I can use my right hand for retention while using my left to draw the backup which is easily reached in my cargo pocket. Also if my strong arm is injured or otherwise occupied in some way, I have a gun available to each of my hands almost regardless of the position I'm in.
I personally don't care for ankle carry as it is too difficult and slow to draw the weapon is most high stress situations.
As for accuracy, the 27 shoots nearly as well as my 22 and I have no problem making center mass hits at 25 yards. Everyone has their own system but that one works well for me.
