carry while jogging?

[LPMan59]

so my wife is starting to come around to the idea of carrying, especially since I bought her a nice Sig P238. One question she asked me was how to carry if she were out jogging. I was thinking a belly band might work, but am not sure with the movement how well it would hold up.

any ideas?

I will be following this thread because I have been thinking about this subject too.

Concealed carry fanny pack.

They are now obvious to folks who carry, but would be plausible for a woman jogging (they do look out of place for a man while not jogging, but better safe than not, regardless of what someone may think). I still have a couple of these that Bianchi made and were really well put together. I don't think Bianchi makes them any more, but several other companies do.

I still use mine for carrying in a console of a vehicle or to slip into another bag to be able to easily have it close at hand but not obvious.

more-concealed fanny pack?

I've been looking around for ideas on this as well. I never really liked the fanny pack idea. I feel like I would end up leaving it at home more often than carrying.

However, I found one that's meant to be more low-profile. I'm not advocating for these because I've never tried one myself, but I thought I'd throw this out there. It's along the same lines as a fanny pack, except it is less noticeable and can be concealed under a loose shirt or jacket. Again, I don't know how well these work, but it's something to consider.

I used to do a lot of distance running (usually in the 10-20mi range).
I always carry Fox Labs Pepper Spray. Saved my butt from a Rottweiler and various other dog attacks over the years. Should work decent on an unarmed person as well.
There are advantages to firearms... but OC is light and easy to deploy.

I would like to know if somone has a good way to carry a pistol that won't chafe a hole in my side on a long run in the heat.

Maybe a tiny backpack purse type thing. It would not be the fastest thing to pull the gun from, but could be more comfortable than having a gun bounce around in a fanny pack. We have a nylon one that we use as a camcorder bag, but would easily carry my wifes pistol.

Something like this...

I use a fanny pack. My runs are no more than 5k. It works, for me at least.

I've seen jogging holsters online that are a vest of sorts that the gun sits in a velcro pouch on the chest. Now some are obvious holsters but i've have seen some that look like reflective vests. There are alot of different jogging holsters out there online the water proof chest carry is good for comfort as well as keeping sweat off your pistol, at least for me.

Concealed carry is a great idea as long as it isn't negated by the blaring ipod!!

I jog 3 times a week and been needing to get a pack. I want those chest band holsters, but haven't heard great things

huh?


I too need to find a good holster.

And find a want to jog.

How well does smart carry hold up to sweat etc.. Looks as though it would launder ok. How big of a handgun can you jog w/ comfortably?

Re SmartCarry:

the holster must be directly in front of your private parts

Also this:

The strapping must be around your hips, not your waist

I can't imagine something tightly wrapped around your hips is going to stay in place during a run. Seems unlikely at best.

I would go with a belly band.
