I've never seen someone even use a loop. Maybe LE but what officer is issued a custom 1911?


The only people I have ever even heard of that used the loop on a 1911 were paratroopers in WW2 because obviously they were jumping out of a plane and the prop blast would make them lose all kinds of shite.

Maybe this is the perfect modern 1911 for them then.

A few companies make mainspring housing with loops today.

The MEUSOC that our special guys use also have a lanyard loop.



Kimber warrior is one production gun that comes with a loop as well.
