Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lanyard loop for a Glock pistol?

A lanyard loop is an accessory that attaches to the backstrap channel of compatible Glock pistols. Its primary purpose is to provide a secure point for attaching a lanyard, which helps retain the firearm if it's dropped or knocked from the user's hand, especially in tactical or high-stress situations.

Which Glock models are compatible with this lanyard loop?

This aftermarket lanyard loop is compatible with Glock Gen 4 and Gen 5 models in 9mm, .40 caliber, and .37 caliber. It will not fit older generations or specific models like the 2021s. It also won't work if a magwell is installed.

How is the lanyard loop installed on a Glock?

Installation is straightforward: ensure the firearm is unloaded, then insert the lanyard loop into the backstrap channel. A set screw is then tightened to secure the loop in place, making it a stable attachment point for a lanyard.

Does a lanyard loop interfere with Glock magazines or extensions?
