Proton gun belt cilp question

I have a question relating to the proton gun and how it hangs on the belt.

*

What kind of “clip” goes on the underside of the gun that allows you to hang it from your belt?*

I have seen what it looks like, but I don’t know what it is called and where to find it.

I have seen people attach a “O” ring to the handle of the gun, but I have seen those clips that makes them hang much better.

Thanks.

I found another picture of it (off of GBfreek83’s pack) and you are right. It is a piece of bent wire/metal strip. Thanks

he, reminds me of the lightsaber belt hooks…

erm… wrong fandom.

The movie packs either used bent wire or a cotter pin-like piece that nobody’s been able to source yet. The hook on GBFreek83’s pack looks like a picture hanger with the top cut off. You can get them at Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, etc. for peanuts.

This is a pic of a wreath hanger; the picture hanger I’m thinking of is somewhat similar in shape but obviously a lot smaller. I couldn’t find a picture of the real thing.

S-hook if you want to be accurate

a simple search through the reference section and you would have found your answer

Of course… :cool:

although i do have to say that i dont trust the s-hook. i always feel like its going to come out of the o-ring. but mine hangs funny and im not sure why

To the right? :-p

LOL

Y’know…I’ve seen those reference pics at least a dozen times and I’ve never realized it was a bent S-hook. Genius!

You know what I immediately think of when I see that hook? Those metal puzzles that have two pieces of wire fastened together, and the challenge is to separate the pieces without bending them. You’ve probably seen them at Cracker Barrel.

Well, that would definitely be secure…too secure perhaps :stuck_out_tongue: (I have one of those puzzles that seems to be completely impossible)

I have a quick question for anyone who’s done this:

When hanging the proton gun from your belt, how do you do it? more specifically, what type of hardware do you attatch to the gun and where?

Merged for some info goodness.

BSjohnson, hopefully you’ll find your answer above :smiley:

I took the belt clip off an old 25 foot tape measure and screwed it to the bottom of my pack. It should hang from my belt nicely.
