Magpul makes a dual QD that lets you use it as a single point or two point. The quick adjust on the length is awesome too.
Magpul MS4 gen2 ETA: Mounts. Most stocks have QD holes in 1 or more places. I like using an ambi ring before the castle nut, and I also like magpuls low profile QD pic rail mount on my toprail just in front of the lower. Those 3 give me LOTS of combinations depending on my needs and clothes. My favorite AR has 4 mount positions. I'll probably remove the one at the front of the handguard.  Attached File |

Magpul MS1 if you want two point or get the MS4 and a rail QD socket if you want a convertible 2-1.
I prefer two points made by magpul (soft webbing) and blue force gear (easy adjustment) |

Get a Magpul sling that can be either single or two point, and decide which set up best suits your own needs...
That being said, If you have to choose between a exclusively Two point or single point only sling for some reason, I say go with a two point. Its only downside is that its a little slower when transitioning the rifle from shoulder to shoulder, like when firing from cover. Other then that a Two point does everything else better and wont hit you in the nuts if you have to go to your pistol, or drop the rifle to the sling and it can be slung and carried in more ways (across your back...etc). The slower transition time of a two point can be minimized if you experiment with where you attach it to the rifle. (l like mine attached to the end plate and the other point attached to my hand guard, behind my fore grip.) A good way to think of it is a Single Point is more of a rifle retention system then a sling. A single point sling keeps the rifle attached to you more then it carries the rifle. A two point will both keep the rifle attached like a single point, but will also carry the rifle if you need to use both hands. |

Magpul MS1. Get the end points as needed. I have mine setup so that I can do 1 or 2 point as needed. Slick setup.

2 pt. Magpul MS1. You'll be able to modify it as you wish (QD, clip, single/dual, etc).

Way of the Gun Proctor Sling
No extra mounting hardware needed, lightweight, easy to lengthen/tighten/adjust, affordable, and out of the way until you need it. Made by a Special Forces guy with "boots on the ground" knowledge of weapon handling and retention. Great sling! Frank Proctor Demo Video |

VTAC or VCAS are both my #1 choices. Great slings, used my the military as well.
I... own both... 2 of each... |

I am not a professional door kicker\combat operator, but I think the VTAC padded 2 point is the best. Padded for comfort yo. Does everything the vickers does, for a little less $$$.
I have no idea what the use is for a single point sling in the real world. I guess so it can dangle from your tac gear with lesss strapping involved? But how then does your rifle not flop around and hit you in the balls if you are doing something other than holding your weapon...? |

I've been very happy with my VTAC slings for most rifles, and my VTAC padded slings for my bigger heavier rifles. I have a Troy and Magpul and they're both good, but I really see no reason to look any further than the two VTACs.

The only downside to a VTAC is the tail flapping around and catching on brush or dragging in the mud. The Vickers doesn't have that problem, but it doesn't have nearly as much adjustment, either.
I've been looking for a WOG sling to try. |

2 point sling without question.
Vickers or Viking Put some QD mounts on it and attach wherever you like. I prefer the QD end plate mount and then up front on the rail. Haley strategic has a nice little QD mount kit for 35~$ |

I've never heard of this one, but the $30 versus $85 for the Magpul sling ($55 sling plus $30 rail attachment point) makes it a done deal for me. I'm getting one. I assumed the front attachment point will go just aft of my front MBUS, around the handguard, and sitting between two rails on the top of the handguard (I have a Diamondhead)? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Another vote for a Magpul 2-point setup, I like their MS-1 which does everything I need a sling to do.
QD mount points can be a subjective preference, I like my forward point at the rear of the hand guard and the rear point at either the end plate or on the buttstock depending upon circumstances. Tomac  Attached File |

I'm not a fan of single point slings because they don't aid in keeping the rifle steady. While I prefer a two point for nearly every shooting situation I'd find myself in, if I was back in a tactical environment I'd opt for a three point. It has all the readiness to shoot of a single point with the benefit of stability (which is my main reason for a sling to begin with).
For my setup, I have an STI sling (which adjusts FAST) looped through the MOE rifle stock in the rear, with a forward QD on the rail and another QD in the forward position of the buttstock. That way if I use the lower with another upper, I don't have a sling flopping at one end. And having a second point makes a huge difference, even if it's merely 6 inches away. I was shocked how much a difference it made the first time I used that setup. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I switched to this sling after completing the UDC courese at CSAT (Paul Howe). I like how the sling allows you to cinch the rifle tight, which is nice when you are doing stuff with both hands and need the rifle outta the way. The only down side that I encountered was when I ran the Scrambler. The sling (I had the sling completely open) would, occasionaly, get hung up on the bottom of my pistol mag carrier on my left side when bringing the rifle up to shoot. This never happened with my padded Vicker's sling. I just gotta use it more and see how I can minimize this. At any rate, I think the VTAC sling is more versatile and like how the rifle can be cinched tight to the body to keep the rifle from flopping around. I cut the cuff off of mine and let the tail hang free. Doesn't hang up on anything and I have no trouble using or adjusting it. I use it a lot in low/no light conditions and it's a lot easier to use than the VCAS. I do a lot of in and out/ off and on vehicles, ATVs, ladders, gates, whatever. |
