Abstract
A firearm strap buckle assembly includes an inlet end portion and an outlet end portion. A main tensioner bar is medially located within the buckle assembly and having upward facing surface of a first width and a downward facing surface of a second width greater than the first width. A first supporting tensioner bar is located between the inlet end and the main tensioner bar. A second supporting tensioner bar is located between the main tensioner bar and the outlet end. A first strap path is defined where the strap is positioned downwardly of the main tensioner bar. A second strap path is defined where the strap is positioned upwardly of the main tensioner bar. Frictional forces imparted to the strap when arranged within the first strap path are greater than frictional forces imparted to the strap when arranged within the second path strap.
