   So here's my situation. I'm looking for a carabiner kind of like the ITW Grimloc, but thinner on the base side, so that it can fit into this slot. I use this for keys, a hat band, a Thyrm Switchback flashlight ring, and other things. Thanks for the help! |

I haven't really liked the Nite Ize stuff, they'll work maybe, but I'm also looking for other options as well. The 5.11 Hardpoint could be an option for going through the wider strap I don't see anything in HPG's website, but maybe I'll reach out to them for ideas I'm also on MTAC right now and maybe these ones: https://m-tac.us/collections/carabiners/products/m-tac-grimloc-carabiner https://m-tac.us/collections/carabiners/products/plastic-carabinergrimloc-black https://m-tac.us/collections/carabiners/products/m-tac-mini-carabiner EDIT: just bought all three. I'll try them out to see |

Presumably you want one that operates like the Grimloc (in the way that it opens and the webbing slot that keeps it in place), and not a standard carabiner, of which there are many and would fit that slot. Is this correct? |
