I have an AP5-P and I'm looking for a sling for it. Can someone please recommend me a good sling for it? I'm not sure if there is a certain type/length of sling that I should be using for this small of a gun.

I just picked up a DeSantis DSD. I also have a Evers clone rig, I think the DeSantis is more useable. I also use a Magpul MS2 single point.

Shoulder rig of course.  

Airsoft ones for budget minded.

I have a black Ferro slingster with HK hooks on both ends. I clip the front hook to the back for a single point, for use on my K. 2 point for my full size. Works well.

Lots of choices but add BFG ULoops.  

No clank and scratching like old school HK clips.

I run a MagPul on my AP5P and it works great . I did need to shave some off the front clip but it was easy to do with a Dremel tool.

Im using one of the magpul ones

It works okay although Im not 100% sold on it.

It however does double duty stocked or stockless on the K pretty good

There's a lot of decent sling options for the P, but I made my own. Just cost a few bucks and it hasn't failed it. :)

If you have the HK brand "choate" stock, you can replace the factory swivel with a QD socket- This kit works perfectly and the screws it comes with are the same threading as the factory swivel- all you have to do is cut a screw to the proper size and voila, QD socket on a factory option.

Looks great, how are you attaching the front sling mount? Looks like you’re using a MI front rail correct?

Correct. I'm attaching the sling to the factory front welded mount.

I just use the single point bungee slings that came with my SP5 and SP5K. They work perfectly.

The mp5k was designed to use a single point bungee sling so you can add sling tension to the gun while firing for controllability.

The AP5P does not come with one so one must seek out options.

Came right up for me, though BFG is out of stock at the moment.  https://www.blueforcegear.com/submachine-gun-sling  

Midway has some colors in stock: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1024506041 (you'll have to manually copy/paste that link, if Arfcom's link redirect code breaks it )

The slings are a little skinnier but my main focus was those U-loop deals.  Those are slick.

They are, great for AKs too.

I have one of the BFG U-loops with the integrated QD socket hole in it on the rear end of my AP5 sling.  The wire loops through the sling loop on the A3 stock, and then on the other end of the sling I have a QD sling loop that I normally pop into the QD socket on my MI fore end, or I can click it into the socket on the U-loop and run it as a single point if I want.  Kind of the same idea as the BFG SMG sling, I just use a Magpul MS1 with the mixed hardware.
