I'm doing a little research, and I recall a pretty good article by P. Rogers devoted entirely to slings and carry straps. I can't seem to find it.
Can anyone give me the issue No. or date of publication for that issue?
Thanks.
Article title was "Don't Fight Your Sling", July 2007, S.W.A.T.
Thanks.

Pete- sorry, i missed this. That article is kinda' outta' date now. Things are moving on, and i have switched almost all of my slings to Viking Tactics VTAC slings.
Here's another +1 for the VTAC. Of all prominent two-point slings, the padded VTAC is my favorite. I first tried Pat's in a class and have bought two since then. You will likely not be disappointed with one.

Padded, or UN-Padded? That is the Question... What would you say and why?
I prefer the padded sling, but then again, i spend a fair amount of my awake time carrying a carbine.
