[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What single point sling are u guys using on your AR pistol?

Curious which single point sling you guys are using. I have the QD attachment at the buffer tube. Single point seems easier with a pistol.

I just make mine. Use as double or clip together as single. You could replace one of the HK type clips with a male QD instead, still clip the HK to the the other end in one way or the other.

SpecterGear Viper. I have used their MOUT but Viper is better.

Been looking for one that cinches up close to the body but has a quick release to extend. Any good ones that fit this without draining my wallet?

Vickers 221. I have both kinds (padded and unpadded) and I prefer the unpadded.

Magpul MS4 Convertible with the QD attachment points. Seems to do the trick rather solidly and I really like the thing. I was thinking I may hate it because of some of the reviews, but she works super nice. I can loosen it for taking it off and on and tighten it up, while its on me to get that nice snug feel. Or if I just need it a little higher and tighter to rest on when my pistol is not in use.

I haven't used it as a 2 point sling yet but I am sure it would work fine in that regard as well.

Magpul MS3.

Best one I every found was some cheapy thing I got on amazon for 5 bucks extra when buying an end plate. Nice and flat, light; fit perfect.
Tried to order it again for another one and got something I could use to tie a large boat to the dock.

I have the same one. $5 and it does the job. Have a 1/4" loop on the end plate the it fits just fine. Couldn't find the sling again when I looked to buy another one today. Midway has a similar one for $10.

Yup, this is what I've been using on my AR Pistols as well. Works great and can be quickly changed from a 1 point to a 2 point sling configuration.

Stock USGI strap in a loop. Works fine.

Any more pics of sling set-ups on an AR pistol?

Just finished my first AR-15 build. It was a great experience and I got some really good info on this site on what to do and what not to do.
I am running a single point sling from Phase 5 Tactical on a Magpul Ambi sling attachment. The sling is Kyptek Typhon cammo pattern. I haven't used either enough to really know if I like them but the quality of both is outstanding. Only concern I have is that the Magpul attachment rattles which can be annoying. I'm waiting for the Phase 5 Ambi sling attachment to get in stock. As soon as it does I'll be replacing the Magpul.

Same here. It works ok. but the adjustment buckle arrangement makes me crazy. I have a Magpul MS3 sitting in the package for the next pistol.

That is why I prefer the I Kick Hippies SLAP plate

No jingle if nothing attached

Will the Magpul MS3 sling clip directly onto the SLAP plate, or the KZ Rear Sling Adapter?

Posted: 8/19/2014 1:17:18 PM EDT

I have tried a shot load of them and have settled on the MS4.

I have played with a single point bungee sling today on my AR rifle and I think I made the realization that it isnt for me....
Seems to put more "spring" into the rifle; making the rifle jump around on my chest when I let it hang and move around.
I think I will buy a MS3 or MS4 and not even look into another bungee.
