Olle, I saved your thread because it was so detailed and such an elaborate jig. I can't make anything that small and have it turn out useful.
The only suggestion to those loops I can make is while they are still straight, drill a shallow hole in each end so that they can be staked inside the gripframe easier. If you're familiar with the slide stop plunger tube on M1911 frames, it doesn't take much of a stake to hold it but it's much easier with a hole in the lanyard loop to spread in the frame hole.
