It drops it in the same place every time. That's about it.

IMO a single has no advantages over a 2-point...and you already discovered some of the disadvantages of a single.

From what I have read, getting in and out of vehicles with a single point is easier, and although I have one it, I have never one it for real day in and day out, so I don't know for sure.
I like the MS2 and MS3 because it can be either 2 or 1 point, but again, I have never used one when it counts. |

So after taking a few carbine classes. I'm trying to find the advantage of a single point over a two point sling. I was using the magpul sling for a single point and it was uncomfortable, the end of your rifle hits you in the nuts if your not carful....so I've been using a Larue and VTac two point slings now. My question I guess is, I'd like some insight on advantages of a single point sling. The only thing I can come up with is being able to switch sides of the rifle to shoot ... And do it fairly fast under pressure. I wouldn't bother with one for hunting anything that won't shoot back. |

The only thing I can come up with is being able to switch sides of the rifle to shoot ... we have a horse in this race but IMHO there is really not any advantages to the 1 point. Even being able to transition shoulders can be accomplished by a two point sling more efficiently. As far as the vehicle thing goes. I don't really recommend connecting your sling to your body inside of a vehicle so it really makes no difference if your using a two point or a one point for that application. As far as transitions go: Huskey MKII EWS Video watch the video at 1:43 ryan demos a two point sling transition to the off shoulder |

With a single point there are actually less steps involved which to me seems to reflect the meaning of efficiency. I however would say that "Even being able to transition shoulders can be accomplished by a two point sling just as fast as a single point with enough training". |

Thanks for all the responses/personal experience. Looks like I won't be rocking a single point unless I need to do tactical rolls out of my truck...

I run a VTAC 2 point with an IWC 2 to 1 triglide on it. It allows you to transition to a one point sling on those few occasions where it might be more efficient. IWC Tri-glide |
