I'm looking at single-point slings to replace my department's 3-point slings on rifles.  That would allow universal use by left and right-hand shooters, as well as easier transtions between shoulders.

Does anyone have any experience with these?

(I'm familiar with the seller--I just need to know about the slings.)

No experience with the brand in your link, but 2 considerations for a duty sling - 1) the MASH hook is virtually indestructible - much more rugged than a snap hook, but it jingles on the weapon and 2) for a duty sling you may want to consider a sling with an ERB - emergency release buckle. No easy way out of this setup if you get snagged on something (car, fence, etc.). A QD receiver mount would work too.

glenn_r,

Why not look at a 2 point sling?  Your training curve is easier as its already a familiar item.  The sling shown is a basic single point, and if I were issued one, I would replace it ASAP.

Glenn I've got a gear sector asp.  It's mounted for a lefty but you could check it out if you want?

You gunna make it to A town on the 15th?  I can throw it in the car and bring it along.

Seriously look at the Vickers 2 point sling. Mount the front as close to the receiver as possible using an MI or DD adaptor a QD push button swivel, and also...mount the rear to the receiver plate area using a DD or other adaptor with a push button QD swivel.

This will give you the best combination optional carries, as well as being able to easily transition to the weak shoulder.

I have used several 1, 2 and 3 point slings and this is by far the best I've found.

Another vote for Gear Sector ASP.

Very well made.


I use the H&K adapter for my AR, and the appropriate YHM mount. (Part # YHM-9756)

For the Rem 870 I use the Gear Sector burnsed mount and auxiliary adapter.

I couldn't be happier.

Single points are neat when static but not so good when you add movement, transitions or dragging wound brothers.
