Depending on the clothes you wear, you might be able to pocket carry. I myself like IWB for most things, but I'd imagine a belly band or Smartcarry/Thunderwear would work well for jogging. If it were me (I don't do much jogging ) I would try to find something that stays nice and tight against the body and won't move around as much.

As for pistols, I'd recommend a Kel-Tec PF9, polymer framed Kahr, a subcompact Glock, or maybe a subcompact MP9/40.

I carry a Beretta Jetfire in .25 caliber in my right pocket on daily walks. I don't leave the house unarmed, even to get the mail (the mailbox is up the street a ways), and the Jetfire, while not much gun, is at least better than no gun at all. It's lightweight, to be sure, but best of all, it's 100% reliable.

A .32 Kel-Tec. It's light and easy to carry. You can get a pocket clip or stick it in a zipped pocket on a pair of jogging shorts. Most running clothes are not really designed for concealed carry--so weight is a huge factor. Not the most powerful round in the world, but you will already be warmed up so it should be easier to run away.

Ruger LCP in 380 in a belly band works very well...

KelTec P3AT .380....12 ounches loaded...

Kahr PM9 is the lightest 9mm I have owned in the past.

What about a .22 derringer type of gun? It's not much, put they are light and easy to carry.

I don't jog but use a fanny pack and a Glock 26 or snub revolver for walking. The fanny pack is just a standard pack (not designed for a gun) with a pocket that will hold a small gun. A 38 or 9mm or bigger would be my choice in calibers. Good luck : Bill

Sig's new P238 is a nice light gun, 380 +p loads in a short barrel will have characteristics close to a 9mm, Carry options are numerous as have been suggested for other guns. Fanny pack is the most common option for jogging but there's a chest pack I've seen as well.

I love my S&W Airweight 38 in a fanny pack for jogging, I don't wear the fanny pack for anything else, mostly cause it is a dead give away and looks very goofy. It is perfect for jogging though.

I have a Bulgarian Makarov that is fairly light and compact. If I was into jogging (I should be, to try to work off this gut), I would carry it.

Been there, done that- for cycling.
I ended up with a S&W 360 PD in .357
It's the lightest package with a decent wallup.
It resides in the back pocket of my cyling jersey...if I were running I'd use a shoulder harness.

+P .380? Are you talking about Buffalo Bore or something?

I would check that the Sig P238 is rated for such. I'm not saying it's not, it's just that the manual doesn't mention it and I don't think +P .380 is very common.

Kel tec PF9 with +p ammo. Really easy to keep on you all day year round.
