Something so small I can carry it in my hand

[David Sinko]

I run with a T shirt under the belly band to prevent chafing. It also keeps away the sweat. The belly band will tend to rotate so that the heavier part (the gun) comes forward against the belly. Those of us who run shouldn't have too big of a belly for that to be a problem.

Those of you who suggest running with a fanny pack are obviously not runners. Maybe if you "power walk"...

Carrying the gun in hand wrapped in a towel or shirt might have potential. I never thought of that.

I have a mini revolver but I am no big fan of it. Reliability is questionable and I still think a good fixed blade knife is a better alternative. And I always carry a knife, no matter what else I have with me.

Amen to your last paragraph, Dave.

After hunting the internet for a decent picture of one of the single shot .410 derringers that, I am sorry to say are made less than 50 miles from here...

I remember the father of the feller that started either Ingram or MAC (It's been so long, I don't remember) used to be a pastor at one of the local churches when I was a kid, if I remember correctly. Of course, this company has gone by the names of several monikers (FMJ, Leinad, etc.) Of course, I think these fellers also make the Cobray line of guns.

I bought one once...it was a handful. Pretty handy in the pocket to take while trout fishing. Also, if you dropped it, you definitely haven't lost anything. However, it's clunkyness and terribly awkward safety as I found out didn't make it good or even safe for carry at all.

The last few runs I have gone on I just wrapped my Airweight in a small towel. I carry it in my hand. After about two miles, I switch hands because of the weight. Even though it isn't much, it helps to move it back and forth. Anyway, so far this is the best method I have found to "run with a gun". I run in the early morning hours with a younger gal that is a real knockout. We run in some dark areas where there are no houses and not very much lighting. Anyway, it seems to work for now. We have passed a few "indigent" looking guys. No problems so far. This is not really a bad part of town buy you never know who is roaming around at 5:00 a.m.

I have a double Bbl. version.......I think your discription of this guns safety and operation was overly charitable

#1 If you feel the need to carry a gun in hand where you run, pick a new place to run.


#2 Any gun you can carry comfortably in your hand while jogging, won't be enough gun when you need it.

Check out a Rohrbaugh 9 mm. Teensy but pricey.
