Having just obtained and installed a lanyard looped mainspring housing for my Auto Ordnance M1911A1, I set about looking for a lanyard to complete my pistol for an MP Impression. I was surprised to find all three lanyards issued. I knew the M1905 lanyard wouldn''t be right so I settled on the M1917 as the one most likely to be in use. The photos on the website were good and the pictured item looked good. I ordered the M1917 and received it within like three days. Not unusual for the WPG Operation. I eagerly opened the box and was floored by the lanyard in my hand. As stated in other reviews, this lanyard looks identical to the original. The cord is the same stiff cord material and it looked great. Also as stated in other reviews, when I installed the lanyard to the loop on my pistol, the spring on the hook didn''t snap back into place. Disappointing, but nothing I would return the item for. I will most likely order a M1942 lanyard and use that and display the M1917. Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars on this transaction.
