I use Magpul's MS3 and MS4 series of slings, although I've been looking at other options to try for my next purchases.

I have a nice tan wide 3 point sling I was issued in 2005. used it in Iraq for two deployments and once in Afghanistan. But now that I'm out I use the basic black nylon strap like you get in basic training. For casual use, I like it a lot more. Though if the SHTF I would go back to the 3 point.

I use Magpul slings as 2-1 is the best option imo, and the MS3 Gen 2 is a homerun.
I also have a Proctor sling which is a dedicated 2point and I like it too, but not as diverse. |

As near as I can tell, I'm the only one on this forum that uses the redi-mag 1.2 convertible
I love 'em but I've never seen anyone ever mention them or even comment when I've posted about them here. Shrug....keeps the price down I guess. |

+1 on the padded VTAC. I love yanking down on it and getting it into my body for CQM or prone zeroing. Takes a lot of play out of it.

I use Magpul MS1 slings exclusively now. I tried MS3/4 and the length was just too short, but the MS1 is MUCH longer (good). I then just add my hardware (hunter type QD for shotgun, QD swivel for AR, Mash hook for AK, and NO hardware for "old school" AR). I love how adjustable it is (as well as how easy it is to adjust) and how simple it is.

Probably not as popular as those from Magpul, BFG, Vickers, etc... But, I use an Urban ERT 2-point on all of my AR's. They are super comfortable.

For a two point carry sling, it is the Magpul MS3 converted to use QD sling attachment.
For a true shooting sling, I use the fantastic Brownell's Latigo. This is fine leather and works like a mil 1907, but without the claws. It can be set for your particular forearm to sling attachment point distance as a true shootign sling, and can be adjusted for total length to use as a carry sling or pulled up tight to the rifle by a simple pull in either direction. It is also elegant, supple and strong. I could run it all the time, but keep the Magpul nylon on the rifle when not doing precision shooting or wanting to "show off" a bit. |

I have two Blue Force Gear VCAS slings, a ms4 QD, and a ms3 gen2. The gen 2 ms3 is light years ahead of the ms4 (or OG ms2/ms3) I have because the slider actually works. I think I might transition over to the ms4 gen 2 because I really like having the option of running single point or two point.

My favorite sling on my main recon type carbine is my LaRue Tactical, they're made for them by Viking Tactics, the LaRue version are padded VTAC with additional quick release front side release Fastex and included two heavy duty push button swivels, the front swivel is built-in (sewn in). I've got other slings too for my military retro and clone rifles and carbines there's nothing wrong with the correct USGI type adjustable two point slings and also Israeli IDF two point slings mounted with paracords. A couple of my carbines have the Vickers VCAS standard model not padded (by Blue Force Gear) two point slings. One carbine have a Gear Sector GS-2P two point modular sling. My last sling is a single point Specter Gear MOUT on my 9mm carbine which is my shooting range toy and also used at indoor ranges. |
