I was just wondering what the differences between these two slings are. It appears to me that they both have a virtually identical design and concept, but I'm sure that are at least some minute differences between them. Like which one is made of better/more durable materials, which has better stitching or hardware, etc. Or am I totally wrong and these two slings don't have the same basic design? Thanks. |

They are both two point adjustable slings that go at it from different angles. The VCAS gets rid of the long tail concept, and chooses to use a slider instead. Hardware and materials goes to the VCAS IMO, however, I'm not good enough on the different stitching to give an opinion. I've never heard of either failing. Another sling to look at in the adjustable 2 point world is the upcoming GearSector GS-2P.

Hmm.. looking at more pics I do see exactly what you mean about the slider instead of a tail that you cinch down. Which one tightens down more snugly? Or do both tighten just as good. I ask, because I saw the VTAC demo video on YouTube, and I know that it can be used as a shooting sling in a supported position (ie: kneeling, prone), but is the VCAS also that secure - that it can be used as a shooting sling? I'll have to say that if the VCAS does all the things that the VTAC does (ie: holds weapon secure when not in use, easy to transition, cinches down to make a shooting sling), it surely seems more appealing, as a result of its slider and better materials - that way you don't get a long tail hanging down. |
