About Springfield Armory
Believe it or not, Springfield Armory comes from a place in history most people are very familiar with: The American Revolution. The original Springfield Armory,built at the command of George Washington in 1777, existed to store munitions for the Continental Army. Just a few years later in 1794, Springfield Armory became a manufacturer where firearms innovation blossomed. When the Reese family took over the armory in 1974, they saved it from becoming a mere monument to firearms history. Springfield Armory began producing some of the most reliable handguns and rifles available, such as the XD pistol in 2001 (and all of its variants since), the Hellcat, the SAINT, and the Model 2020 Waypoint rifle. For quality and cutting-edge engineering, Springfield Armory is one of the most popular firearm brands around.
Springfield Hellcat
As we mentioned before, the Springfield Armory Hellcat is one of the most popular concealed carry weapons. This striker fired micro compact pistol comes with a class leading 11-round and 13-round extended magazine. Strategically designed to precision, the Hellcat was made to defend.

Founded in 1997, Canik Superior Firearms has been a significant player in the aerospace defense industry for the past twenty years and 2019 marked their 10th year as a world-leading firearm manufacturer. This company is known worldwide for intelligent engineering. In 2012, Canik partnered with Century Arms to introduce Canik TP pistols to the U.S. market. Over the years, Canik has prided itself on true handgun superiority. Known by gun enthusiasts as “The Glock Killer”, Canik handguns are seen as fierce competitors of Glock for their functional, reliable, and reasonably priced handguns.

The CanikTP9SF Eliteis perfect for anyone needing a smaller gun while keeping the great features of the other TP9 series handguns. As the medium-sized model of the TP Series, this model is titled ‘Elite’ due to its ambidextrous slide stop, brand new designed trigger safety mechanism, Warren type fiber optic sights, and closed striker cover mechanism, as well as its shortened grip size. Its frame design is modified, compared to the previous TP series models, in order to ensure a comfortable shooting experience.
The Canik TP9 Elite SC was developed to be the first sub-compact version of the TP Series of pistols with its 3.5-inch barrel. Made for those who want a pistol that is easy to carry and conceal, the Elite SC offers the same features as the standard TP9 models, while designed to be snag-free for better concealment and a faster draw. This handgun comes pre-equipped with double stack magazines, front slide serrations, and day/night sight options to better meet your needs. It also includes a concealed carry holster and spare magazine so you can be ready to carry in no time. Get this Canik handgun and other accessories for sale online at GrabAGun for the best prices.
The Double Action and Single Action TP9 DA is a huge hit with many different shooters. The top-mounted decocker and disassembly button allows the user to operate the trigger in double-action (DA) and allows for a safer carrying technique while carried in DA mode. While both of the paint job styles offered for this firearm are completed with a Nitride Finish, the Bronze model comes with an extra overcoat of Burnt Bronze Cerakote, which allows for rust inhibition and maximum protection for the firearm and its parts. Finally, this firearm comes with an interchangeable magazine release, in order to accommodate left-handed shooters. This pistol is versatile and can be a great asset in many different situations.
The new METE series incorporates changes that are designed to take the TP9 series to the next level. TheTP9 METE SFx has subtle external changes that are instantly recognizable when handling the firearm. This handgun has an integrally flared mag-well that allows for fluid reloads and extra support for the grip, new aggressive texturing to include the front of the grip allows for increased stability, and an optics ready slide cut that accepts micro red dot sights like the Trijicon RMRcc .

Despite the crazy weather this time of year, there is nothing quite as satisfying as completing a run. Runners often find themselves on trails and pathways at odd times of the day with a plethora of interesting cheerleaders along the way—if you know, you know. You also know that there are different, let’s call them threats, on different trails at different times of the day. Naturally, you want to avoid hurting yourself, but you can and may also find yourself stumbling across some creatures you may not want to be around. Skunks? Coyotes? Bears? We’re walking the other way…To avoid catastrophic confrontations, we recommend carrying while jogging to ensure the best experience–and yes, we are talking about a firearm. We’ll talk about why it’s important, what are some alternatives, and what you’ll need in this post. For all your carrying while jogging needs, GrabAGun has you covered. Keep reading to learn more.
Why You Should Carry on Your Runs
Protection, first and foremost. Most runners take the necessary precautions to prevent injury while running, but many don’t think about the precautions needed to keep themselves situationally safe. I mean, have you ever been chased by a startled armadillo on a run? No? Yeah, no I haven’t either…
No matter what, keeping yourself and others safe should be your top priority. Naturally, we recommend carrying a handgun. Whether it be a 9mm handgun or a micro pistol, a small handgun is better than no handgun, in our opinion. If you are comfortable using one, a firearm will guarantee your own safety from nearby predators like bears, coyotes, or a surprisingly determined raccoon.
Carrying While Jogging and Other Options
Whether you decide that carrying while jogging is the way to go or not, having a form of protection with you is of the utmost importance. Naturally, we recommend a 9mm handgun or something similar. They are reliable, rugged, and effective in a variety of situations. Plus, the last thing you want is to be startled with no means of protection. (Ever had the misfortune of surprising yourself and an unsuspecting raccoon at the same time? Adorable, yet, frightening) Let’s take a look at some of the safety options you can take with you on your next run.
Tasers
Tasers or stun guns are nice to have but only effective in extremely close quarters. That means someone or something will have to practically be on top of you for either option to be truly effective. What’s more, most people are not adept at using something like this which can lead to unsatisfactory results.
Personal Alarms
If you’ve taken any self-defense class, then you’ll likely know that one of the first, and best, tools to get yourself out of a situation is to sing. Before you ask, no, you’re not expected to actually sing, but instead, make as much noise as possible. Besides, trying to sing while running or even after a run is near impossible. What will help is a personal alarm because, more often than not, attackers, animals, or other threats will turn away when too much noise draws attention to them.

Pepper Spray/Mace
One of the most common defense weapons is mace–and for good reason. Outside of a firearm, it’s one of the most effective weapons for stopping a threat. Most cans usually have a decent range allowing users to protect themselves while still keeping a safe distance from whatever is threatening them. Now, many brands make gel formulations that allow for the product to stick around longer, doing more damage while providing ample opportunities for escaping.
Firearms
And of course, our personal recommendation, the firearm. Why are firearms the best weapon to keep while running? With the right usage, they are effective, reliable, and perhaps, one of the best deterrents. It will take time to become proficient, but once you are there, you’ll have a reliable form of protection any day, anywhere, for just about any purpose.
Type of Gun for Carrying While Jogging
So, the question on everyone’s mind: What’s the best handgun for jogging while running? Well, it comes down to a number of factors, but the main things you’ll want to look for is something:
Lightweight
Easy to conceal
Reliable
Durable
Functional
While there are several handguns for sale that meet those criteria, here are a few of our personal recommendations:
Smith & Wesson CSX CSX 9mm 3.1” Barrel 12-Rounds
Benefits:
Micro compact firearm
Metal frame
Metal white dot sights
Glare reducing slide serrations
Ambidextrous manual thumb safety
Enhanced grip texture
2 magazines; 10-round and 12-round capacities
Glock 43X 9mm 3.41” Barrel 10-Rounds Two Magazines
Benefits:
Compact, Slimline frame
Built-in beaver tail and subcompact slim slide
Versatile grip
Reversible magazine catch
Match-grade GLOCK Marksman barrel (GMB)
1 magazine; 10-round capacity
Sig Sauer P365 Handgun 9mm 3.1” Barrel 10-Rounds
Benefits:
Stainless steel frame and slide
Compact size
Rated for P ammunition
X-Ray3 day/night sights
2 magazines; 1 flush and 1 extended magazine, 10-round capacity
Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus 9mm 3.1” Barrel 10-Rounds Optics Ready with Thumb Safety
Benefits:
Polymer frame
Flat face trigger
Enhanced grip texture
Optimal 18-degree grip angle for a natural point of aim

2 magazines; 10-round capacity
At the end of the day, you just need something that you are comfortable handling. Spend time at the range for target practice, but don’t stop there. As a runner, you’ll want to make sure you are capable of firing a weapon while moving. Find a tactical range that will allow you to practice moving while shooting so you can truly get a feel for the action. For the best 9mm handgun for sale, GrabAGun is the only place to shop.
Type of Holster
Not all holsters are created equal and carrying while jogging can seem challenging. During the cooler months, it’s probably not that hard, but in the summer? Try finding an easy way to conceal a weapon on your ankle with running shorts. It’s basically impossible. So how do you effectively carry, and conceal, your firearm for a run? Here are a few options.
Belly Bands
If versatility is the game, belly holsters are the name. The major benefit to this type of concealed carry is that you can, usually, get away with carrying several types of handguns and magazines fairly inconspicuously, even while running. With the right shirt, virtually no one will know that you are carrying it. The most important thing to remember is to practice drawing and replacing your weapon for the best experience.
Ankle Holster
Sometimes you just have to forgo concealed carrying for the sake of convenience. For carrying while jogging, ankle holsters are one of the more obvious answers. Not only will it take weight off of your hip line (reducing any chance of pantsing yourself!). However, any “concealability” goes out the window when you’re wearing running shorts. What you lose in stealth you make up for in accessibility. This is an option that you may need to try out a few times before deciding.
Chest Packs
Arguably one of the most effective carrying options, period. If you feel comfortable/capable of running with one, chest packs are the best way to go. You get rapid, easy access, take the weight off your hip, plus you look really cool while wearing one. What’s more, you never have to take your eyes off the target while removing anything from the chest pack.
Practical Running Tips
Be aware of your surroundings
Seems simple enough, but when you’re running it’s very easy to slip into a groove. You’re running your usual trail, only focused on putting one foot in front of the other, and you lose your spatial awareness. If you have to or choose to run alone, stick to well-lighted paths, areas with consistent foot or vehicle traffic (please don’t run in the road, but next to it), and places with good cell reception.
Buddy System
Piggybacking off the previous point, if you don’t the ability to change up your running locations, find someone to run with you. A friend, partner, spouse, or even a four-legged furry friend! The idea of “strength in numbers” isn’t just for giggles. When there are more people, making more noise, you’re less likely to have a chance encounter with something or someone that could harm you.
Sweat Ain’t Sweet
If you run, then you know that no matter what time of the year it is, you’re more than likely going to sweat. All that ammonia, sweat, and dirt can not only make your running gear smell…ripe, but they can also wreak havoc on your firearm. Any external bluing will be ruined and internal steel components can be compromised. Most holsters designed specifically for runners help to keep the firearm away from the body, and sweat, but you should still be cleaning your gun regularly.
Practice Makes Proficiency
You’ll never be perfect with every single firearm, but you can be proficient with the one you choose to run with. Practice as often as you can not just firing your weapon, but drawing it from the holster and replacing it. Learn the basics of cleaning and maintaining your weapon for continuous and reliable use. This will guarantee your constant safety, no matter what.

While appendix carry is by no means a new trend, it certainly is en vogue at the moment. Those recently getting into concealed carry and firearms are choosing appendix carry, often referred to as AIWB, over the more traditional strong side carrying. Because of its surging popularity, we thought we’d cover what this carry style is, the pros, the cons, and what you need to know going forward.
What is Appendix Carry?
This style of firearm carry is rather self-explanatory, getting its name from the placement of your holstered firearm. A 9mmhandgun or another pistol will sit just in front of your hip inside the waistband, right about where your appendix would be—hence the name. It is also known by the acronym AIWB, which stands for appendix inside-the-waistband.
Appendix Carry Pros
This style of carrying has become increasingly popular in recent years with the most recent generation of firearms carriers. For concealed carry purposes, this seems like the ideal. Firearms are much easier to conceal, accessibility is a breeze, and this form of carrying works well for both men and women.
Easy Concealment
First and foremost, this is hands down one of the best places for concealing a firearm. Appendix carry holsters are designed to be as low-profile as possible. Whether you have a compact handgun or something larger, not a single person would know you are carrying it.
Ideal for Women
This style of carrying is great for women for several reasons, primarily because ladies can wear just about anything, barring skin-tight clothing. Because of how low-profile the holsters are, appendix carry is simply easier to work with than strong-side, especially for women. There is no spillage or accidental exposure.
Accessibility Like None Other
Accessing your firearm from the 12 o’clock position is often more natural than from the 3 or 4 o’clock position. Instead of having to reach around your side and deal with clearing your clothing, an appendix carry pistol is right there to remove. Faster out of the holster means faster target acquisition.
Bigger Potential
This primarily applies to women, but men can also benefit from it as well. With an appendix carry, you can essentially carry any firearm you want. Because the firearm is tucked away inside your pants, there is virtually no limit to the size of concealed carry handgun you could choose.
Like anything, there are downsides to something good. While appendix carry has many positives, it still has negatives that won’t make it great for everyone. It can be harder to conceal, uncomfortable, and even dangerous when used incorrectly.
Discomfort
The main complaint against this style of carrying is the discomfort experienced while sitting. As you may have suspected, when you sit or bend over your firearm and holster will ultimately dig into your stomach or thigh. For men, this is usually incredibly uncomfortable.
Negligent Discharge
Negligent discharge is what happens when a firearm goes off when someone is attempting to remove or replace it from the holster. This can result in a bullet graze along the thigh or groin area, something no one wants to experience.
Quality Holsters Needed
For a good appendix carrying experience, you will need a quality inside-the-waistband holster. Most are made from Kydex, a reliable and durable material, while some are made from leather. Though leather is far more comfortable, it’s less likely to maintain its shape. This means re-holstering your weapon each time can be harder and could even result in the negligent discharge mentioned above. On the other hand, Kydex will maintain its shape but is not flexible in the slightest. This means carriers may experience more discomfort doing simple things like sitting or bending over.
Inside-the-Waistband Only
No matter what, an appendix carry holster will exclusively be an inside-the-waistband mount. Unlike strong-side carrying, which can be either/or, AIWB holsters will always be tucked away. For some, this means changing their clothing, belt, and other aspects of their wardrobe.
As you can see, appendix carry has its pluses and minuses. While this is “on-trend” in the firearms community, it’s not necessarily right for everyone. How do you know if this is the right everyday holster for you? Practice! With a completely empty pistol, take the time to train drawing and replacing your firearm to get a feel for the best angle and grip for you. Wear the holster with various types of clothing as well to get a better feel for what is most comfortable and, more importantly, what will and will not give away your firearm.
No matter what, appendix carry will remain a popular and reliable form of everyday carry. GrabAGun has a wide range of AIWB holsters in a variety of colors and materials to pick from. If you are looking for an affordable concealed carry holster, we are the best place to stock up!
