[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Proper lanyard usage?

Posted: 9/29/2010 5:23:18 PM EDT

I'm wanting to get a couple lanyards for my pistols for hiking and carrying on my ATV. For a conventional lanyard (the plain rope style, not the coiled or retractable style), where does end of the lanyard opposite the pistol attach? Do I loop it over my belt, or does it go around the shoulder somehow? I thought it went around the belt, but I'm pretty sure I read about wearing over the shoulder the other day.

Old school lanyards went around the body.

(Belts were not common when they were in use)

Go rent an old Clint Eastwood movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

HA! No doubt. "Hey, blondie..."

Just attach/loop it around your belt.

in modern times I would suggest the belt or through a button hole on a shirt-in my .mil days (before thetelephone cord style and drop leg holsters were the norm) the plain braided lanyard I attached to one of the metal rings on my lbe suspenders
