This is a wonderful opportunity to add an original 1917 patent dated Pistol Lanyard to fit your M1911! It is to attach a lanyard, (long piece of rope) so if your sidearm fell out of your holster or someone tried to take it, it would remain attached to you. This was standard in the old days when holsters were not form fitting or had good retention. Lanyards are actually still in use today with the Militarys sidearms.
