Need advice on CC gun for running?

Alpena:
I've only practiced running three times on level terrain (at night) with what has been my only handgun, a WW2 Sauer 38H. It was just a quite random
field test, as this is a very safe residential area. But that almost paper-thin leather Bianchi IWB holster once or twice allowed the Sauer to slowly bounce Upwards, and frankly, once it fell onto the grass:o (no ammo). Runner: 5'11", 180 lbs.

The Sauer is slightly thinner, the same size, and the approx. wt. as its "son", the Sig 230/232.

Having a brand-new/first CCW (TN), am also just starting to learn a little about holsters, and IWB only.
My carry gun is the used, stainless Sig 232. If jogging with the total weight including the loaded magazine is acceptable, I highly recommend the
Sig 232, based on the feel, decocking function etc, trigger, many, many dozens of 'first person' Internet comments.

I carry a compact 9mm (SR9c) in a fanny pack. It is not a perfect solution, but better than anything else I've tried. It allows me to carry other needed items (including a pepper spray for four legged animals) and a weapon I am comfortable with without worrying about concealment.

I am not sure why some always suggest a spray of some kind when asked for a handgun/carry recommendation. Sure, it is a viable defensive option but it is not what was asked for. Suggesting a treadmill to a runner is more of the same. Yes, again, it is an alternative but not really a good one for those of us who enjoy the outdoor experience as much as the exercise.
