Custom Zipper Pull

Sometimes shooting bags and other items have a zipper handle that is hard to grasp, especially in the cold or when wearing gloves. The zippers on my shooting bags will probably loosen up, but right now I needed a better way to grip them. It occurred to me that a piece of 45ACP brass would work great. The following pix are of such a zipper pull. If you have several shooting bags that all look the same as I do, this is also a way to differentiate them. I plan on using 45ACP, 5.56mm, .308 and 12ga empties.

45ACP Zipper Pull

Select good brass, punch out the primer and drill 7/32".

Cut small wire or paper clip to 2.5" in length and bend as shown. Loop around the zipper handle
and insert into the primer hole in the brass. Spread out the wire a bit and you are done.
