Sweat on brand new hand gun not good.
Had to do a complete cleaning and lube of the weapon.

Now that I think of it I don't think there are any holsters out on the market that prevent sweat on the firearm while out running.

The Hybrid Holster has a large leather flap but still sweat can run down and over it getting the firearm wet.

Hmmmmmm

Water proof holster, easy to wear while out jogging but yet easy accessibility.
hmmmm

any other runners out there that go jogging with their firearm?


For some odd reason I feel like posting this type topic to this forum is hopeless and everyone on the board is just looking at me like a dog that just got shown a card trick.
I take it there are not many CHL peeps that go running with there weapon.

It may sound funny but a condom works well. I had the same issue while commuting on my motorcycle between KC and Dallas for ove three years. My problem was not sweat but simply water and if you ride a mc in rain and want to be able to get to your gun if you need it it will get wet. I carried my HK P30 either in the tank bag or in the outside pocket of my jacket in a condom. Simple but efficient, you'll be able to aim and pull the trigger.

I don't even know where to go with this one . . .

I take a small .25 auto and put it in one of the arm band iPod holders.

Hey, it has to be concealed anyway and it is a proof solution. Besides a wet gun you may want to think about wet ammo!

That's true!
