| I have another question. What brands of two point slings do you run? I've been looking at the magpul sling and the vickers sling from blue force gear. The magpul sling is good but I wanted to know what you guys run. |

Vtac padded - IMO the best 2 point out there. the larue version comes with included sling qd's or you can get the standard sling with out them and add them later if you want them. Very long sling with a lot of material for adjustments.
The magpul ms4 is also nice and my second choice. I like the ability to convert to single point quickly. |
| I use Blue Force, Magpul and Viking Tactics. I get mine off guns that are traded in at a local shop. $10 buys me whatever I want, which beats the fuck out of $50 for some nylon and plastic, so I'm not all that choosy among those three designs. Looking at a WOTG Proctor, if all you want to do is carry the gun it's probably fine. |

I'm old school when it comes to slings. I like leather 1903 style slings when shooting from positions and simple $6.00 silent slings with metal (never plastic) keepers for carrying rifles any distance. I hate single point slings, I feel they're near worthless. Mine is a 1945-dated green canvas GI carrying strap w/ 550 cord loops. Quiet, reasonably soft, and simple. |

Really hard to beat the highly adaptable and modifiable Magpul MS series for a carry sling.
If you should need a true military tight shooting sling, look at the leather one hand adjustable Brownells Latigo, though. Superb for when you actually want to sling up for real shooting support. |

I went to Brownells and they say the Proctor sling has been discontinued
Anyone know if that is the case and if so, why? Â Problem? Not selling? |

I was looking for something "not bulky" and everyone told me I had to get the (insert the name everyone suggests). Someone lent me one - I can't actually recall if it was the #1 brand or #2 brand that is always suggested, but I didn't care for it. I tried a Sheriff of Baghdad B-Sling. Meh - not impressed. The webbing is thin and "hard" - not comfy. I then saw some good reviews on the Gear Sector 2 point and saw one on sale so I tried it. I like it. The sling material is "soft" and flexible. The many options for end point connections are nice too. I bought a second one and will probably stick with this sling for others so that they are all the same. I did also get a Frank Proctor sling and I think it's a good sling for the right application. It's ideal for those on a budget because it requires no attachment points to be purchased and added. Just loop the paracord through and it's mounted. I wouldn't necessarily think it would be ideal for a large, heavy fighting gun, but it's perfect for my AR pistol. I just wanted a simple, light, unobtrusive sling and it fits the bill. |
