Muzzle heavy huh Hawg? Okay, so does the ring on the bottom of the grip have a purpose? It looks like it could be hung on a nail.

It's to tie the gun to yourself.

It's for securing the pistol to a holster or belt. Some soldiers had a propensity to drop their guns....especially on horseback

That's why they're called "lanyard rings", Zulch. Ever heard of those?

Thank you Mick. That makes very good sense. I guess I need to read up on more history.
