I made a pistol lanyard with some cheap 550 paracord and two peices of bungee cord at either end. It works just as well as any other lanyard and is probably stronger too.

I followed this guide (Incredible site BTW I've been using it for years)

I have also recently made a lanyard and grip for my knife and a grip for my gun. I plan on making a gun sling and a watch strap too. Tis' great stuff paracord.

Hey thanks for the link... I was going to buy another pistol lanyard but now I think I am going to give this a shot!
Thanks again.

Can you post a pic?

I will soon, I was actually playing today and it saved my gun twice! BUt pictures aren't even necessary, just tie the knots and put some bungee either end, keep it long enough to dray but not long enough to hit the ground.

Sorry I took so long but here are pictures of the lanyard I made with paracord and bungie for the belt and gun mount. (Ignore the white stuff coming out - I used crap quality paracord)

Hey inthetallgrass i think it would be helpful if you melted the ends of your 550 cord to prevent it from fraying

I do, It's just I used really bad 550 cord that frayed EVERYWHERE. I usually use the proper stuff though. But I didn't melt the ends of the bungie cord cause that just goes on fire.
