1. An adapter for a QD socket, the QD socket having a cylindrical interior space and an interior groove or plurality of openings, comprising:
a first post portion having a longitudinal axis, a loop, and a first tab shaped to engage the interior groove or one of the plurality of openings in the QD socket; a second post portion having a second tab shaped to engage the interior groove or one of the plurality of openings in the QD socket; and a threaded fastener having a longitudinal axis and passing through the first post portion and threaded to the second post portion to couple the second post portion to the first post portion; wherein adjustment of the threaded fastener causes the adapter to move between a first configuration defining a first transverse distance between the first and second tabs and a second configuration defining a second transverse distance between the first and second tabs, the first transverse distance greater than the second transverse distance; and wherein an upper region of the first tab and an upper region of the second tab are in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the threaded fastener when in the first configuration.
