From what I've read it looks like the CQB solutions sling with a quick disconnest is recommended. I really like the tactical (3 point) type. I've also had Eagle recommended. Who gets the nod???

I have CQB Solutions slings on three of my rifles and recommend them without reservation. The CST and Specops models are especially desireable as it's handy as all get out to be able to go to your weak side shoulder without a lot of gymnastics. Suggestion: Buy the sling directly from CQB Solutions. In my experience, several of the dealers have no idea what they're doing. Luck, SD |
| I have a CQB SOP sling and Giles sling from The Wilderness. Both are fantastic and IMHO the best on the market. The webbing that the Giles sling is made of could probably hold elephant! That being said, I find the CQB SOP sling to be more comfortable and easier to get in and out of. So I give you the standard ARFCOM answer, get em both! |

Quoted: Suggestion: Buy the sling directly from CQB Solutions. In my experience, several of the dealers have no idea what they're doing. I strongly agree with this statement. Also, the CQB slings can be had with or without the quick detach buckles. Neither of mine have the buckles. One of mine does, however, use the Sling Thing QD, which I think is very strong. |

I think the QD buckle is the dumbest gimmick going. What, am I going to go HTH with a bad guy at the range? In my basement? Gimme a break. |
| Try a one point sling they require the least amount of hardware to attach and they do not get tangled in the charging handle or bolt release and leave the weapon at your side or in front of you at rib height . I made mine out of an Eagle and a Dieter QD sling with elastic strike points so dont have any recommendations for a one point sling I thought about a Chalker but the harness seems like a pain in the butt .Good Luck it is probably the most personal of all the accessories for an AR and the most varied topic . |
| I use a Daniel Defense Simple Sling(Burnsed Loop).It doesn't get much more simple than that.Any attempted grab can be dealt with by leaning forward and raising my right arm for the rifle and sling to slip off my body.This can be done much faster than me searching for the ERB and opening it in a stressful situation. |

It's also worth statin ghere that the Single Point Sling from The Wilderness was designed from the get-go to have a quick release buckle for one major reason. To ditch the carbine in order to save your life. Mainly for units who are maritime. Now, I can see that the average civilian might not have the "need" for one. But, what could it hurt?? No one wants to inadvertently drop a carbine on the deck, but I would think it would survive a 3-4 foot fall. I know mine did, twice in the last month alone. |
