This mornings project.

So with all this Indiana Jones talk it inspired me to complete a project I needed to get done. I had to get the lanyard ring installed on my 44special flattop. It’s fairly straight forward, drill and tap a 8-32 hole in the grip frame and screw it in. I have just been watching way to dang much Netflix! (Evil time suck!)
anyway it’s done...... the Ring itself is a Winchester post 64 saddle ring, the 8-32 pitch. They aren’t that expensive and run about 10-20 bucks. And they just happen to be the same width as a Ruger grip frame! For your viewing pleasure.....



the lanyard itself is made of para cord and some leather ends I sewed together. I have one, a replacement, form a well known gun customizer that does beautiful work on single actions. The first one I had fell apart once it got wet. I complained and the owner himself scolded me for having too high of expectations for the lanyard. They had put cardboard inserts for the knot slides. Then he asked me how it got wet anyway. I responded “I actually take my guns in the field, where it’s wet and sometimes rains” he wasn’t impressed. I don’t use it any longer and will never have him do any work, ever! Anyway I have one ordered like Gun Nut is using on his Dr. jones rig.....

Oh the revolvers are 45 colt flattop- white grips. They others are 44 special flattops.
Aim higher, or get a bigger gun.

Great looking guns and the lanyard while useful for field carry really is just a nice classic aesthetic addition to a classy revolver!
