Wow that’s huge, I would expect 5/16 to 3/8” on the large side and 1/4” to 5/16” on the small side.

I think they made it that big so it'd be comfortable hanging on your body. I'll try and find it this afternoon.

Could someone do some pics with the Bowen TIE ON LANYARD on the way they wear it, AND pulled up into shooting position?
bradshaw, could u possibly do the same with your setup sometime?
Also, anyone who's out there that ties their revolver on for whatever reason, I'd love to see pics of your tie rigs/methods etc. There are times when a guy can just end up with so much gear on it's just too much, so looking for ideas.

I rode the rivers of Alaska and remember thinking if there was ever a place for a lanyard it was there....

 This is a paracord lanyard I made several years ago. The picture was to show the gun, a Bowen mid-frame 5 shot 45, so the camo paracord lanyard doesn’t show up well on the moss rock background. It attacks with a swivel snap to a belt loop. You can also ‘unravel’ it if you needed a length of cord in a pinch. Tim |

That blends beautifully with the rock, a braided paracord might be a nice way of distributing weight and not have a thin cord cut in to your neck. I like the idea.

Tim A friend uses paracord most of the time with several different holsters in different ways. I'd like to find the right lanyard to just stay on the gun and sling over my shoulder and go once holstered, and be ready for full draw anytime, but what you're doing there is probably plenty practical and handy in most situations. |

Ronnie Wells did a couple lanyard rings for me on brass frames, really great results on an already awsome product, don't ride horses anymore, but ATV and snowmobiles like the security  ***** gunsbam69..... my lanyard ring M-29’s went to new homes years ago. Photo of Ronnie Wells grip frames with lanyard rings locates ring at center of revolver butt----better than towards heel or toe. My experiment with using cinching up the lanyard to push against in offhand showed limited utility. To push arms, tightening lanyard against neck, is slower than fire from Weaver or Isoceles. Worse, for my shooting anyways, distance-to-tension is fixed to adjusted length of lanyard. Whereas, I shoot positions flexible to conditions. A static position on the Firing Line makes for sound practice, but afield it must be flexible and allow for out-of-position shots. Also eye relief compresses when shooting uphill, stretches when shooting downhill. I have no doctrinaire adherence to Weaver or Osoceles or their permutations, I try to adhere to the target. Tried a sling on a revolver as a shooting aid and wasn’t much impressed. Adjusted for carry, the sling is too short for shooting. Way I see it, the lanyard aids retention, not marksmanship. On water or a rocky ledge, the lanyard rings makes more sense that cord taped around the grip. Without doubt, lanyard rings compliment beauty of these Ronnie Wells grip frames. Beauty sustained in practicality. David Bradshaw |

I’m going to assume that those lanyard posts are held in place by pins that go thru the two small holes drilled in the bottom of the grip frame??? Which makes sense as it would allow swiveling or turning without unscrewing from frame, if a groove is cut into the lanyard pin itself.

Trapr Same as on the 1917 S&W and colt, not sure what other platforms used this system. Believe they only used one pin, two might help with wear on the brass or aluminum? |

Ronnie prefers two pins to engage the flute cut around the post of the swivel. As has been observed, one pin is standard. I prefer a full swivel ring to one that doesn’t rotate. David Bradshaw |

I've actually been thinking about the tension against the bottom side of the grip frame via the lanyard pressure on the ring today, and have actually been thinking maybe that idea was not well thought out. I was thinking about possibly getting some stability jump shooting, but it has been my experience that tension anywhere usually makes weird stuff happen. Thanks for your input and advice. |

The pins are NM trigger spring retaining pins.
