Exercise(running) Holster

Post by PatrickMas20 »

Haven't come across a topic discussing good quality holsters to wear while exercising. Past couple months I've been running in the early morning and sometimes in the evening depending on my work/personal schedule and want to try different types of holsters to run with. I recently ordered a Daltech Force Belly Band Holster that has somewhat good reviews for exercising with but I'm still unsure. My clothing is really light so obviously a belt holster is out of the question.

If you have any experience with Belly Band or any other holsters while exercising, please comment and give reviews.

I'll be reviewing my Daltech Force as soon as it arrives.

When I am lifting or walking (not a runner), I carry in smartcarry.
It's a bit uncomfortable for some, in the sense of having the muzzle in the vicinity of that "region". :shock:

I wear baggy clothes and walk, running is to much effort.

I hear ya. I just took a look and it seems like a practical holster for lifting. I don't know if you ever checked out belly bands but I heard they give great back support which might come in handy while lifting.

I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but I'm not getting any younger and one of the reasons I carry is so I don't have to run. :evil2:

I do a lot of running and hiking. The best carry solution for me is the 511 select carry pistol pouch (yes, it's a fanny pack). I have had mine for a few years and have logged thousands of miles with it. My pistol of choice is an M&P shield, but it will hold a full-sized handgun. It rides comfortably and the pistol deploys quickly and easily. There is even a zipper side pouch for my keys. As someone who runs a lot, I have not found a better solution. No one has ever given it a second look or would suspect that it holds a gun. It is a dorky fanny pack, but if you're the type of guy who enjoys a Saturday by getting up at 5am to get a 20 mile run in, you're on a different wavelength than most folks anyway. :mrgreen:

I used a Pistolwear PT2 when I used to run outdoors, now I just use a treadmill at home.

There was a chest holster discussed a while back: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=84129 that I thought could be a good exercise chest rig, but there were some varying opinions on whether it met the definition. IMO it does, but IANAL so take my opinion for what it's worth.
