Lanyard loop

[Bunny]

Dumb question but my CZ PO7 duty has a lanyard loop. Has anyone ever really utilized this? And what reason did they make the loop for?

[stenz]

They made it so you can attach a lanyard to the pistol. It keeps you from losing the pistol in a combat situation or any other situation where you would not want to lose your weapon.

I'd be great if you climb towers for a living.

I had to have a lanyard on my M9 at all times.

Can't really remember If it saved my Beretta from taking a tumble in the sand. Lieutenants do some really stupid shit though, so maybe it is needed..

I removed mine as it jacked your palm up when you do a firm reload. I machined a new one out of stainless and made the plug extend .100" past the grip so you can still ease the tension on the hammer spring to disassemble the pistol. Don't know of anyone who actually uses it, even on the CZ forums.

Army we had to have it but I guess I am just lost as to why they are used in civi sector? I live the PO7 btw lol

I think the P07 looks great, but when I handled one at a LGS I thought the edges were way too sharp, almost hand-cut sharp, and the slide-action just felt kind of ... cheap to me. I really wanted to like it, but the ergonomics just weren't for me. I'd gladly try one out on the range, though!

Mounted or motor officers sometimes make use of them. My P229 has a lanyard loop. It doesn't bother me, but I've never used it.

When I was out on the rescue boat, I always had mine on. Lost a few radios, but never my pistol... Actually the EMT lost the radios... Something about holding on...

They're useful in combat situations. Wouldn't use it for regular carry.

A guy I worked with told me a story about one time when he was doing a movement and kept hearing a weird clacking sound behind him. He finally turned around at a stop and saw that he'd been dragging his Glock along behind him. [hammer]

I would "retain" that but I don't think a "loop" would be involved.....

Just say no to the lanyard, just say no.

Good thing he wasn't clearing a space with a revolving door.

I was actually wondering about this in civilian use too.. thanks for the input!

Around the water they can save the gun. Pretty much everywhere else the catch on shit.

There is a new type of carry sweeping the nation. It's called Janitor carry. That's what that is for.

I believe lanyards were historically used by mounted cavalry. I don't have a use for them today. Some of my polymer pistols with interchangeable backstraps leave a notch at the bottom so a lanyard can be attached around the roll pin.

Sent from my electronic leash.

Lived in GA. and used a canoe to get to and from duck blinds that were in Cypress swamps.
I used a lanyard when we built the blinds, There were gators and snakes in the area.
I still like having the option as I don't like hanging cords to the trigger guard.

Does doing a "movement" mean what I think it means?
