Product Overview
A pistol tether needs to keep your sidearm connected to your gear without restricting your reach. The Rothco Tactical Pistol Lanyard uses an extendable, PVC-coated coil and a hook-and-loop belt attachment to provide that connection. For airsoft players carrying a pistol alongside a primary replica, it adds a tether between the sidearm and the belt setup.
A coiled connection with room to extend
The coil stretches to 55 inches, providing reach for full arm extension while shooting. That extended length is an important consideration when choosing a pistol lanyard: the tether needs to accommodate your shooting position rather than hold the pistol close to your waist. The coiled format provides an extendable connection instead of relying on a straight, fixed-length strap.
Attachment options include a tactical belt, metal clip, or loop attachment. The overlapping hook-and-loop strap fastens around the belt, giving you a belt-mounted connection without requiring a permanent modification to your gear. When planning your setup, consider both the attachment point on your pistol and where you want the lanyard anchored on your equipment.
