Ok, so here's the deal. During the spring through fall I take my dog for runs almost daily.
Normally I pocket carry a S&W 642 Airweight 24/7 in a pocket holster. The only time I ever have an issue carrying it is when I go for these runs. What I've done in the past is just wear cargo shorts, which keep the gun from bouncing around or flopping out. The problem is that cargo or khaki shorts aren't ideal for going for runs normally. If I were to try and pocket carry it in athletic or basketball shorts, the gun is too heavy for the shorts and flops around a lot.
SO. I want to try one of those belly band holsters. If it prints or shows a little, so be it, but I'd rather have one that's as slim and form-fitting as possible (I'm pretty lean, about 12% body fat).
Does anyone use a belly-band type holster? What brand do you use and what has your experience been with it?
Any input on this method of carry is appreciated!
