If I understand the question, the triglide works by being treaded into the sling (Mine sits about 4-5 inches above the receiver end QD swivel) When you want to go to one point you remove the Sling from the rail end and hook it into the Tri glide just like you would any other QD swivel adapter. I hope this answers what you are asking.

IWC makes two types: one for standard slings and the other for slings with sewn ends.
IWC 2 to 1 point sling adapter Click on the link and both options are on display. If you click on each you will find pictures showing how to use the adapter. They are pretty simple to use, I have one on all my 2 point slings now. |

I get the concept, I guess I should have made it more clear what I wanted to know...I guess I'm concerned that its more of a gimmick than a worthwhile option. How do people that have them like them? Does the triglide get in the way? How functional is the sling in 1 pt. Configuration? My dream would be using multiple qd points on the rifle as well as the tri-glide for maximum freedom in sling placement and configuration. I really like the emdom gunslinger and to a lesser extent the ms2, but would hate to waste the qd options. I also have heard nothing but good things about the vickers.

I have a Vickers padded sling w/ the triglide. It works actually pretty good as a single point, but I am so used to 2 point ,which I like the most, that the triglide just sits there. It is a good option to have for less than 20 bucks I guess.

I ended up removing the triglide after trying this setup for a while and will be trying an MS3. The main issue for me was when using the sling in two-point mode (which I use 99% of the time) the triglide rode over the stock right where my cheek was supposed to be (I run a Noveske QD endplate and a SPOMOD, so this may work out totally different for you depending on your layout). No matter how I tried to position the triglide it would come up and interfere with my cheek-weld. When I ran it as close to the end-plate as I could, it would interfere with my grip, banging or scraping the top of my knuckles. Again, probably a non-issue for others who run a different setup.
The other thing is that there was no "gross motor" muscle behavior going on to plug a QD socket into the triglide, it's a tad finicky to get it in there. It didn't make sense to me, my thought being; if I want to transition to a single point configuration, I'd probably want to do that quickly (and possibly under stress). While I hate to give up my Vickers sling, the MS3 really does seem better suited to being "converted", which is a feature I'd still like to have.

No. You do have to play with it to get it where you want it. You do have to practice with it. Like anything else. My two primary duty guns, and my back up now are all set up the same way. Noveski end plate and a 2to1. I have another rifle that has the Tango Down PR4 at the rear instead of the end plate. I like the PR4 better because it gets the swivel up and out of the way of my pistol grip hand. Being able to change from 2 point to 1 point on the fly is a great option to have. Again, you have to play with the placement. However I have never had mine go up and over the stock, so I can't speak to that issue. |

I have a padded VCAS with a IWC tri-glide.
I also have the IWC lo profile rail mount for a TRX extreme and a mash hook on a magpul ASAP plate. I am very pleased |

I just put this set up on my rifle a week ago. I decided to try the VCAS after primarily using single points slings so I figured I would throw the tri glide on there to have that option. Frankly, I like the VCAS so much that I don't really foresee using the single point option very much. But as to the set up, it works great as a single point and I like that it is a limited rotation QD (was a nice surprise). It doesn't get in the way for me so I will leave it on for now.

Thanks all, I'm still looking at slip options but this will probably be the setup I end up with. I used to have a spec ops patrol sling, but I didn't Ike the way it adjusted. I'm hoping the vickers is better. I'm also considering the vtac, but honestly it looks to be the same design as the spec ops. Don't get me wrong, the spec ops was a well made sling, but I'd like something with a bit more "rapid adjust" capability. As for the triglide...I doubt I'd use the sling as a 1pt too much but I like the idea of having the option. This is going to be my main go to rifle so the more modular it is, the better.

I like the BFG VCAS with QD swivels and an IWC 2-1 triglide.
