What in the heck is a lanyard for?

[No Quarter]

Having carried a Beretta in a combat situation while in the USMC, I can attest that a lanyard is a necessary part of carrying a pistol in some applications. Moving in tight places, running, jumping, climbing, etc. are all great activities to make you lose a gun. Also, when you have it in hand, a number of unexpected things can happen to make you lose your grip. Not to mention that when doing crowd control, it keeps the pistol from getting grabbed from the local yahoos.

Hell, when I am out hiking or climbing around, especially around water or heights, I always tether my handgun to my person.

Used a lanyard several times. In the Marines; when trail-riding on dirt-bikes and ATCs; hiking. Whenever you would have to re-trace a huge area to find it
