I have an AR15 Carbine, now I need a good sling. What do you guys use?
|
|
|
Purpose(s)? All kinds of slings out there... one-point, two-point, three-point. Any good suggestions will need to take into account intended usage.
|
|
I'm partial to the Emdom Gunslinger.
ETA: probably will be going with a simple Israeli style sling on the next build. |
|
That makes three of us. But don't get the Multicam one...... The material is different and the pad feels like cheap egg crate foam. I could understand the nylon being different, but the foam variance I don't get. I stick with my black and coyote ones. |
|
i have an UrbanERT sling on each of my 3 ARs, as well as my shotgun. i like the wide seatbelt material they use. lots of clip and attachment options too.
|
|
I like two-point slings, so I have the Gear Sector offering on each of my ARs.

Viking tactics padded. I have one of these and like it. That makes three of us. But don't get the Multicam one...... The material is different and the pad feels like cheap egg crate foam.

Awesome slings and family made in Ohio http://www.savvysniper.com/

I have an Magpul MS3, and it is really nice (I only use it in 2pt mode). I want to try the VCAS, VTAC, and any other good two point. I hate three point & 1 point slings.

Seat belt sling, wish I could remember what brand mine is, but its 1"nylon to 2" seat belt. Soft and flexible without the thickness of pad.
|
|
V-TAC or V-CAS either one is a good sling.
if V-TAC get your sling from LaRue it comes with the swivels. I have one of each, Both use the same logic. Both differ in Execution. I tend to prefer the V-TAC though. |
|
I have a Troy single point which is awesome for retainment (and keeping some weight out of your arms carrying the gun) but the gun is far too free to swing around if you don't have a hand on it.
I really like my SO's Magpul MS3 because you can use it like a one point or two point. |

near perfekt. Easily adjusted, no slip. But I suppose, it´s much too little "tacticool". Hermann |

Vickers padded 2-point. Really liking mine.
Got it with QD swivels sewn in, too. |
|
|
Body shape and arm length play a big part in sling choice....
then you have to decide or figure out what works best for you... single, double or triple point slings... |
|
Specter 3-Point. They make more than one model, but I'm not sure which one I have. It's pretty simple, US-made with a release buckle.
|

Savvy sniper HD quad SAW with snaphook/ QD ring built in. One sling and sling adapters on rifle,shotgun, and ar pistol. Made in Ohio, USA

View Quote Came to post this. No tier one operator experience on my end .. just took it hog hunting, liked the feel, better than a few other brands. |

I was issued a Blue Force single-point sling and liked it (was only able to use it on various ranges since I ended up not deploying). It came with a caribiner to attach to the back of your MTV molly loops, and a wire loop to thread through a single-point sling adapter, or you could just remove the sliding buttstock, and slip it over the lower receiver extension and replace the buttstock and it worked just as well.
I had an extra, and gave it to a friend of mine who works state department low pro security missions in Afghanistan as a contractor, and he loves it. Most of the fellas I talk to that do a lot of riding in vehicles seem to have high praise for single-point slings. The tag imprinted on the inside of the sling is marked "P /N: Special 0814", so I don't know if it's a regular product, discontinued, or what the deal is. |

Very happy with my Viking Tactics Padded and Larue Padded. Now have 2 of both.

Spec Ops 2 point patrol sling best one I've found View Quote This! Was wondering if anyone would post it. Patrol Sling Anything else feels flimsy to me (and I've tried a bunch) ETA: I used a modified Spec-Ops MAMBA on deployment and it worked very well. The patrol sling is essentially the same but wider tubular webbing. Still has the band for stretch and quick length adjustment. May not be what these fools call tier 1 but it's K.I.S.S. |

I'm sure I'll get made fun of but, I was always was a fan of the specter gear SOP deployment sling....not super highspeed but it made it through two combat deployments in good shape and if you are actually going to be wearing the rifle A LOT, walking around with it, and trying to use your hands while you wear it....I never found anything better.

I have the Basic Carry Sling on one of my rifles, and this sling on another. Both are great, but have their pros and cons. I'll give a slight edge to the Wilderness Tac sling, since its easier to use as a shooting sling.

Seat belt sling, wish I could remember what brand mine is, but its 1"nylon to 2" seat belt. Soft and flexible without the thickness of pad. That's the Emdom Gunslinger. Discontinued, unfortunately. REALLY comfortable and convertible sling. Lately I've used the Huskey Amentum Slider Sling. Here Here Or here Someone needs to come out with a 2" seatbelt sling. That was the most comfortable sling I've ever used. Also Troy used to make a nice padded sling. I liked the way is adjusted and located the padding so it didn't slide around. Noe sure they're still made, though. |
