US M2 Holster for M1917 Revolvers In 1942 the Army re-issued old stocks of M1917 .45 ACP revolvers, but a new holster was adopted. The M2 (also referred to as M1942) was the same as the earlier M1909 holster, but was reversed for a butt to the rear carry on the right side, and a simplified right hand draw.
US M1905 Pistol Lanyard This is a reproduction of the first lanyard issued by the US Army. Originally intended for the .38 revolver, it was also used on the M1909 .45 revolver, and on the M1911 .45 automatic until replaced in 1917.
US M1917 Pistol Lanyard This lanyard was developed because the M1905 lanyard, designed to fit revolvers, did not fit the M1911 pistol well (some think this is the reason for the lanyard loop on early magazines).
