ABSTRACT:
A retention device for preventing inadvertent release of a shoulder sling from a firearm is provided in the form of a clip having first, second, third and terminal expanses that define a substantially right rectangle and surround the body and gate of the detachable assembly when the gate is in its closed position relative to the body. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the clip is generally U-shaped, with a first planar expanse joining the second and third planar expanses that extend in the same direction therefrom, with the first expanse having a hole formed therein for receiving therethrough the depressible plunger of the detachable assembly. Preferably the clip is integrally formed and its resilience permits the beveled, free ends of the second and third expanses temporarily to be wedged apart as the clip is installed on the detachable assembly. Removal of the clip requires that the free ends of the expanses be sprung apart from their secure snap-fit around the gate while the clip is urged in a direction opposite that of its installation. According to a modification, the clip is generally C-shaped, is provided with a slot in one of the expanses to receive therein the plunger, and is installed laterally.
