Any provision for a lanyard ring on that one? I'd hate to see that rig end up in Davey Jones's locker.

Unfortunately no. I do love lanyards for outdoor usage though. It just seems my favorite revolver grips cover the bottom of the grip.

Those grips ought to be readily modifiable for a lanyard opening, if the frame has one. I could even see mounting a sling swivel stud to the bottom of the frame and running a paracord loop through it with a suitably fancy knot at the end.

At one time, Hogue offered a lanyard loop that took the place of the screw at the bottom of their grip. I don't know if they still do.

I don’t think they are on Hogues site. I called them and ordered a few of each size (they came in at least two lengths). I have one on my 629. One of my GP100s will get one. I also need to check a friends LCR to see if it takes the same screw (she wears it OWB while trail riding).

I remember those. Too good of an idea to be commercially viable for more than a year or so.

I wonder if I could Dremel a slot and use a pin for a loop.

Geeze, dremeling ahrends. Who'd a thunk it

A couple of turns of fiberglass strapping tape around the bottom of the frame and sticking out the bottom of the grips is a good temporary solution. Looks horrible but it works.

Just a short hike to my shooting spot.

Loop of paracord passed through the bottom of the grips... then maybe just a wee bit of work with a chainsaw round file to make a permanent channel?

I vaguely recall that someone made an extended shank lanyard loop for revolvers, but I dont recall who, maybe Smith or Ruger?

I used a Smith lanyard ring in the butt of a Ruger SA, but I havent ever actually used it. I envisioned it for use in deep snow primarily, but I havent spent much time wandering in deep snow, contrary to the younger mes expectations (and Im not the least bit disappointed).

Ive used the lanyard hole on the glock as a night gun when camping, grab the cord, loop it around the neck, step out into the darkness to look at the stars for a few moments with 15 europellets of goodness on board,...no gear, clothes, whatever required for middle of the night armed spontaneous stargazing...

...of course, the tanker type holster with a Smith N frame also serves that duty well.
