Received my first black lanyard frame tool for full sized 9/40/45 M&Ps. I've had a few demands for this part over the past 2 weeks....so I've got some inbound (tan should be here this week...black are back ordered from S&W).

These do NOT affect concealed carry IMHO. Wore one in my FS M&P Pro 9mm all weekend...around the house in an IWB holster. Obviously, most of you would be wearing these in an OWB / OC fashion with a lanyard. Good for ATV driving, hunting trips, camping, hiking, duty wear, etc.

Cost is the same as the regular frame tools. Here are some photos with a #8 design. Will start taking orders for the tan/fde ones...with demand will come more stock - just got 10 ordered now.

Lanyard Frame tool on left - regular frame tool on right. No difference in frame fit. Sticks out a bit on the bottom and to the back:


Here is it on a M&P Pro 9mm with metal clip lanyard:
