Your active lifestyle shouldn’t force you to make hard choices about personal safety. Don’t compromise on your initiative to practice concealed carry just because you can’t find a quality gun holster for running. Do a little homework, meet these points, and you’ll see that there are carry holsters out there that are specifically designed with runners in mind.

● Firearm retention - Firearm retention is one of the most important safety features of any holster, whether it is designed for concealed carry or open carry, without even taking runners into consideration.

The retention a holster provides should be sure; it should completely protect the trigger area and solidly secure the handgun against unwanted movement. The best firearm retention for runners can be afforded by a holster that completely encloses the firearm.

● A snug, secure fit to the body, as well as adjustability - Anyone who is familiar with carrying a firearm will understand that the way the holster fits the body is almost as important as how the holster fits the firearm.

Look for a holster that is adjustable, so that you can fit it to your exact dimensions. The only way to ensure that a holster will fit you securely is with the ability to adjust it, and when adjusted, it should fit your form snugly and naturally.

● A design that won’t roll or bounce - This is a particularly valid concern for runners. Some belly band holsters and other holsters designed for athletic clothing bounce and roll over on themselves while the person wearing them is jogging, running, or otherwise active.

This can give away the location of the holster, make it difficult to access the firearm, and even compromise safety. Give a priority evaluation to a holster that doesn’t roll or bounce.

● A design that protects the firearm and eliminates printing - For gun owners that practice concealed carry, it’s also important that the holster neither gives itself away nor prints the firearm.

● Comfort - Finally, a holster that is more comfortable will simply be more pleasant to wear. If you can find a holster that meets all of the above requirements and is still comfortable, hang onto it.

These are the very kinds of features that Pistol Wear set out to provide in their gun holsters for running, and they have handled them admirably. Pistol Wear was the first to design a concealed carry holster for runners that will neither roll nor bounce when worn correctly, completely encloses the firearm and eliminates printing. They were also among the first holster companies to focus on comfortable and practical holster designs for women, and they continue to innovate in an industry that is constantly demanding improvements to design.
