Well, here's the "before" with my broken pieces... Interesting note, the back plastic hook seems to be way more flexible and forgiving than the front. The front was very thin, tiny brittle plastic that snapped very easily in my fingers when I was inspecting the hook breakage. The back hook I flexed back and forth a few times and still held well.

Now here's my "after" using paper clips, wire stripper/cutter, side cutters, pin vise, bead pliers and hobby knife. I actually snapped off the release bar on the revolver during my insertion of the pin. So drilled a hole where it's supposed to go, sharpened the broken end into a point and shoved it into the hole. It's crooked in the shot but adjustable. It's actually holding better than if I glued it. :p

Because the hooks are now metal, I don't really have to worry about attaching the straps as much. LOL
