1911 - Magwell & Lanyard loop?

[Dark Paladin]

My google-fu failed to turn up anything, nor did a search query on CGN, so if this has been covered already please point me to the existing thread.

Has anyone seen or know where to get a Mainspring Housing that includes both a magwell AND a lanyard loop?

Failing that, can anyone recommend an 1911 armorer in SoCal that can do this kind of work?

Thanks in advance!

Wilson Combat I think.

SA Custom did just that on the Operator that I will be picking up in a few days. Maybe try them?

That looks beautiful. How much did that run you?

Try Mars Armament. Magwell with recessed lanyard pin. Fit very nicely on my Springer.

I've seen handguns with lanyard loops and always wondered: what's the point of lanyard loop? I don't think I've ever seen anyone use one...

I'm guessing for:






Or, to hang cell phone charms off of.

Prevents it from loosing in case it ever falls out.

Between running, jumping, crawling, climbing, hiking, etc., there are tons of ways to lose a holstered pistol.

I have one from SACS as well, and have both Blackhawk and Gemtech lanyards.

Thanks all for the responses. I will do some comparisons to figure out which route to go with.

The entire build was just under $3k, plus the cost of the gun and some supplied part if I remember correctly.

I think smith and Alexander makes the best one. Doesn't stick out at all.
