are downright uncomfortable and thor- oughly detract from the catharsis of a long, cleansing run. Even cops who are self-defense oriented have given up fi nding an eff ective yet com- fortable carry mode and usually just end up going without. I’ve had dogs charge me while running and a gun may have been necessary for defense. I have also been spot- ted by a ‘regular customer’ as he drove by as I ran on the street. He drastically slowed and gave me quite a look when he recog- nized me. I couldn’t decide if he was mak- ing a decision or if he was just surprised to see me. T ankfully, he just moved on. He probably saw my Über-cool fanny pack and fi gured I either had a gun within easy reach or maybe he thought I’d just suff ered enough.


What is truly alarming, though, is the advanced level to which cops are being stalked and targeted these days. Ambushes on uniformed offi cers are up dramatically. We are seeing reports from around the country of offi cers’ homes being surveilled and attacked. Is it really a stretch of logic to reason that a determined villain might make an attempt on an off -duty offi cer during their regular running routine? It would not be unreasonable for a criminal to assume the cop in question would have no means of protection, considering how diffi cult it is to pack a pistol on the run. However, there may be a carry solution out there that actually works.


Pistol Wear, LLC

T eir PT-One model could be thought of as a highly improved belly- band style holster. It was designed from the ground up for running. It has room for a small- or medium-size semi-auto pis- tol and more. I use this unit with a Smith and Wesson M&P40c, an extra magazine and my ‘cop wallet,’ which contains all of my law enforcement identifi cation and nothing else.

I bought my PT-One for around $50.00 a few years ago. It has logged lots of miles since then. It’s been a great solution during almost any weather conditions or with any attire. When properly adjusted, the PT-One and all of its contents are soon forgotten and the


runner is able to focus on the workout and not on emergency equipment. T e PT-One was inspired by exactly this market need. T ere just weren’t any good options out there and Pistol Wear set out to fi x that. It should be noted that Pistol Wear, LLC off ers
