I have one and have used it in a couple courses.
It's pretty light and the take up/let out is pretty simple, although it takes a little practice to do it quickly. Watch a couple of Frank's shooting videos and see how he uses it. |

How would you rate it from cost vs. value standpoint? Worth it or not. Could i do better for my money? My use will be SWAT operations with heavy body armor on.

Slings, as a general rule, are pretty cheap. I have a "box of slings", slings that I've tried out and didn't work.
The proctor is about the same price as the VTAC. (+/- $40) Either one would serve you well I did try the VTAC Bungee sling. I really like it. |

I like the proctor, liked it so much I knocked it off and made a heavy duty version. So far I've mounted mine on about 9 rifles and pistols. Just a great and simple concept with no need of extra HW and lower profile

Pros:
Very LW and minimalist design No extra mounting hardware Quickly adjusts, and can be adjusted tight to slim bodies as well as thick Great for the money Cons: Flimsy and folds on itself a lot when doing reloads and shoulder transitions Digs into shoulder and does not hold the weight of a carbine well(might not matter as much with armor) Paracord could be cut by something sharp like glass No Padded version Thats all I can think of from the 6 months I have been using one. If I wanted a true duty/shtf sling Id get the padded VCAS which is high on my list currently, and I am just a regular guy who does not shoot a lot as well so yea. |

Don't have any experience with proctor sling but I use the savvy sniper sling. Kinda pricey but best sling I've used.

Seems it is always on the list of things to find better of. |

Ran one in a 2 day carbine class. It sucked. My skin was completely raw since there's no padding and it's so thin.
If you're wearing a jacket it's good to go. It was nice to not have to worry about QD swivels or any of that though. |

The Proctor WOTG sling is light, easy to adjust, two point only and pretty much as if you don't have a sling at all. Weighs nothing and adapts well to differently configured rifles, no QD HW required. Other padded multi config type slings are heavy but mostly cumbersome with QD. |

I went from the VCAS to the MS1 and while I still have the MS1, I have three Proctor slings. They are lighter and have plenty of strength for the AR's. I run one on my Benelli SBEII with which I hunt with. I primarily carry it and run the sling tight so it's not flapping about but can quickly run it out to shoulder it or cross sling. I use the Talon 1" swivels for that and the lighter QD ones on the AR. I dedicated the MS1 to my heavy precision bolt gun.
If your are about weight, hold the WOTG and then one of the others. Plus you can use the supplied ends to negate other attachment methods if you desire. Buy it!
