Real simple question: Should i pull the trigger on a MS2, or should i wait for the MS3 to come out?
Thanks J |

Do we even know what the improvements are? There are many convertible slings out right now that are less expensive and more functional/comfortable. In which direction would you guys point me? The other i had in mind was the Vickers Combat applications 2-point here Thanks J |

The other i had in mind was the Vickers Combat applications 2-point here Thanks J The Blue Force Gear VCAS is a great sling, and I run the padded version on my two carbines, and a Gear Sector single point on my SBR. The Magpul guys make some valid arguments for the single-point, but I've trained enough with my VCAS's that I am comfortable with them, to include shoulder transitions and everything else in which MS2/3 is supposed to excel. Note: No personal experience with the MS2/3, but it certainly appears to be a good piece of kit that many prefer. I'm thinking of T&E-ing an MS3 on my SBR when they come out. I am not a door kicker, just a regular patrol guy/supervisor/firearms instructor. |

I am not a door kicker, just a regular patrol guy/supervisor/firearms instructor. I also use the VCAS to the effect that this guy does. I do transitions even without adjusting the slider most times. I love it. I've used the MS2 as well but found that a single point wasn't need for me. The way I have my VCAS attached makes it very flexible. If you want to give a convertible a try, look at the Endom and The TacStrap. Both are thicker than the MS2, and more varied attachment options. |
| I have the ms2 sling. The sling isn't wide enough and will over time start digging into your shoulder. Secondly the one peice of hardware that allows you transition between 1 point and 2 point, according to the instructions, doesn't work well with the standard front swivel under the gas block. Magpul is developing the rsa to address this but it isn't out yet. I do like the sling and how fast it is. I think the adjustment speed is faster than the vickers and use is simple to learn. But I would not take this sling to a full day carbine class. It is a great sling for intermittent use on/off. Very good flor grab and go but not standing all day with rifle on your person. If magpul develops a pad on this sling and lengthens it that will be money. I am currently looking at the Vcas, Vtac, and Emdom slings to supplement the ms2. The last thing is attachment options there aren't any for the ms2. |
