Gym/workout pocket pistol

[frenchiectfd2203]

I’m looking for a pocket 380/9mm to tuck IWB while I workout in the gym. I will not be doing cardio but I will be doing sit-ups, some bending over, walking around. I typically wear drawstring athletic pants or shorts so weight is a huge factor. I didn’t want to hang it in my pocket due to some activities I may be doing. I had thought about an ankle holster option as well. Is there any other INGO carrying in the gym?

Belly band is another option.

That's where fanny packs shine. Put your phone in the front pocket and nobody looks twice.

I use this one to jog or trail run. It'd be fine in the gym as well:

Marathon Gun Pack

The first of its kind, this tactical fanny pack was specifically designed for concealed carry runners. Shop for CCW fanny packs and holsters online today.

Do you still have a Ruger LCP?

Don't hate...I love my Kel-Tec P32's, there seems to be a lot of hate/dislike for the KT's, but they work, and are reasonably priced. I pocket carry mine all the time, gym shorts, or sweats..

LCP 2 or a Sig 928

Ulti-Clips attached to your solid retention kydex holster will allow it to be securely clamped to your pants or shorts.

It's just me, but if I need a pistol, I need a 9mm.

G43 for me. Low round count also means low weight. Dunno where you'd stick the extra mag?

The gym I use has cabinets for your clothes. I am never more than 20' away from it in a controlled environment. There are a lot of local LEO's and SP's there.

Don't really;;y feel the need to be armed while I do crunches.

Learn to fight and you will never be "unarmed" even if you are without your pistol. Even a moderate workout could easily leave a pistol on the gym floor.

Same here. There is always at least one IMPD car in the lot at my gym regardless of when I go lift. As if the far south side doesn't feel safe enough.

The Phlster Enigma is the best solution I've found for sweatpants/athletic shorts carry. Combined with a fixed retention holster that has solid "click" retention, it may be what you're looking for. As secure as normal belt carry when belt loops are not present.

No, I sold it because I didn’t think I had a use for it...

I’m not sure that I have the Matrix skills to dodge bullets nor the fast movement. So I’m going to arm myself at the gym.

That would be a great thing to have unfortunately I do not live in a big city environment. We do have some PD members but it’s a 24/7 complex so the time for the gym can vary.

I'm also a fan of the p32s. For what they are, they're sometimes the perfect tool. Caliber debate all you want, I don't want to be shot by one.

S&W bodyguard .380 A tich less than 1 pound when loaded. Mine has been uber reliable. You can practically conceal it wearing only a thong and wife beater. But if I walked into a gym where a dude was working out in a thong I'd walk out backwards. Maybe the fanny pack idea is better.

 

[frenchiectfd2203]

I went with the bellyband idea from comforttac..? Anyway, it’s seems to be very universal with a spare mag holder. Now I have narrowed it down the keltec and the Ruger lcp.

I CC a S&W 340 DAO in .357 (usually has .38's in it) in a 'sports' fanny pack with cell phone holder while in the gym! The gym owner's a friend of mine (from way back) and he just laugh's when I come into the gym because he has his Sig Sauer in a belly band under his shirt and few even know it!
We have a running joke in that we refer to any incidents as 'boo-boos' and he'll joke, "Don't have any 'boo-boos' today!" I'll often reply with something along the lines of, "Not unless they're perpetrated upon me!" Other's just look at us like we're young children who've developed their own little language!

Comfort tech has nice ankle and belly holsters, even the fanny pack and monthly sales to boot.
A Glock-42 is also my recommendation.
My wife carries hers in one of the comfort tech products.
The G-43 in 9mm is as low as I'll go.

 

[frenchiectfd2203]

I did a test run with my sig 365xl, did my typical routine. Went well. I do love the comfort tech belly band. It was comfortable, didn’t smother me when I got hot.
