How to attach GearKeeper on S&W N629-6?

[Para Bellum]

Hi Folks,

I want to use this GearKeeper I have: http://www.gearkeeper.com/firearms/sidearmretractin.html

on my S&W N629-6 for boar hunting so I can't loose my sidearm in the bushes.

What's the best way to attach the GearKeeper loop to that revolver?

Thanks and have a good day,
PB

If it were me, I'd contact the manufacturer and see what they recommend.

Drill the bottom of the butt strap and install a lanyard loop from a Victory. You can get the loop and attaching pins from Numrich.

What stocks does your revolver have on it? Most 629-6 revolvers come with black rubber Houge Monogrips and there are lanyard rings available that replace the screw on the bottom of the grip. If you can find a picture of a 629 Trail Boss, you'll be able to see the setup.

I assume your 629 does not have a lanyard loop, and your need is security for a back up revolver, why not attach through the trigger guard. Easy on off and no holes to drill.

This is what the manufacturer said. No salutations no greeting:

You'll most likely have to see a Gunsmith and see if he can install a
lanyard loop on your weapon.

My N-629 has rubber grips and a screw at the bottom....

I'll second the idea of a lanyard ring to replace the screw at the bottom of the grip. Shouldn't be too hard to locate. I would avoid the trigger guard as an attachment point.

There's one here - http://www.bowenclassicarms.com/parts_store/lanyard_rings_&_studs.html - but it's pricey at $50.

I just happen to have had this same delema. I solved it like this. Went to the local gun shop... Got a scrapped sling loop, that thingie that comes with houge mono-grips. Put the houge thing in backwards/upside down. It may take a little fiddling but attach the sling loop to the hole now at the bottom of the butt. Attach lanyard to sling loop....

There are some vendors who make a lanyard w/screw to replace your Hogue screw. I can't think of there name now, but I also think one of the custom gun smiths have something like that as well.
