Well...

Inside the Waistband holsters (IWBs) are okay for running but the require a stable platform (belt) and I hate running with a belt. Fannypacks are floppy, obvious, and a major fashion faux pas. I've heard of some guys run with CCW pieces in their hand, disguised in some kind of Walkman or phone case (bad idea). Fuck an ankle holster. I think the best option for this type of activity is a holster T-shirt.

Revolvers are extremely reliable in murky conditions and easy to clean. A S&W 37 Airweight J-frame in .38 Special with Federal HydraShoks is my personal choice for hot-hot bipedal adventure action. 5.11 T-shirt holster I did a review on a while back has proven to be extremely useful for running as long as it isn't overwhelmingly hot outside (thing is a sweater on your pits). You can carry the gun under your left arm and a speedstrip or two and a light under your right. 15 shots and it doesn't bounce. I'm thinking about getting my two hemmed above the navel (fabulous, I know) because it always seems to ride up to that level anyway when running. I always wear an overshirt, usually a baggy long-sleeve Soffe sweat-wicking shirt, over the holster shirt.

Granted, any modern defensive firearm should hold up fine to being dunked provided your holster prevents it from getting mud/rock/a delicious bass in the bangtube. Some members may suggest a mini-Glock or a Keltec PF9 or the like. I'd avoid something heavy or expensive. You don't need a full house sidearm with three spare mags, a mounted gun light, etc... you just a Bitch Be Cool piece. I'd get a used snubnose and a holster T-shirt.

The guy at SurvivalSheath.com is an absentminded moron, but I like his products. He's got some custom Kydex chest rigs designed for runners.
