Glock 17 in a Fobus paddle holster, with a good nylon web belt.
I have used the above rig to run for several thousand miles here in the desert. I have only had a few abrasion problems over the years. It helps to keep the belt well cinched up. I have mostly run with the holster behind the right hip, so that your elbow does not contact the slide. That can be painful. If the belt loosens up, I have put it in the small of the back, which works pretty well. The key to this system is to keep the belt well cinched up.
I have also used a fanny pack possitioned in front or in back. Neither has been very satsifactory because of the gun and pack bouncing as I ran. Still, it is acceptable, and I have done it when I needed to conceal the firearm, did not have the fobus available, or for some other reason. You can conceal the Fobus under a T-shirt, but it is likely to get soaked with sweat.
I like to have at least a T-shirt between the Fobus and my skin.
I have been running with this system from about 1995 or 1996, about 10-13 miles per week. I have been slowing down the past couple of years and have done more climbing hills and stairs to keep up the necessary aerobics.
I run a lot and have decided that once I get my "permit" from Wisconsin I will "run with a gun" in my neighborhood. I have a few small guns I can run with but am open to any ideas of gun & holster combination that is comfortable and light weight.
I will dress as a jogger, not a criminal running from the scene of a crime and have not decided yet to run concealed or run openly. That sounded strange.
I have a couple of small guns with waist type holsters but they don't "run well". The guns I have bounce up and down a lot and are very uncomfortable to run with.
Ideas? Suggestions?
I guess the gun runners among us could have a 5K run for WCI or the Veterans or some other worthy cause??
