PAM rubber deployments

[scotty]

Right then....

without wishing to appear dumb (I said wishing....)

I've a 196 on a rep rubber deployment. The strap is OK - it's black, rubber, and deploys.....

BUT I have a small doubt.

The ring thing for the excess strap, located on the short side, is a leather band sewn together. Looks neat, but is certainly not a rubber moulded part.

So - the million bucks question (no ...... there's no prize here)

On a gen 24mm rubber deployment (if there is one), is the ring thingy rubber moulded, or leather ??

That's it. A simple one. Over to you gents - and be gentle with me

that is one of the ways to tell the difference between the two. the rep straps have a leather keeper while the genuines have a rubber keeper. i hope this helps.

Thanks for:

* a proper name for the ring thingy (didn't know it was called a keeper)

* unsettling me now, since my keeper is leather! (bugger)

SO - anyone have rubber 'keeper's' for a 24mm Pam rubber deployment strap.....?
