Hey all,

So after reading everything on here on slings I'm more confused than before. Any rec's on a convertable 3/1 point sling. No particular purpose for it, but it'd be nice to get one that does both vs buying two separate slings before picking what I like. I know several of you have a nice assortment hanging out in the closet......  SOC-C seems to be a leading contender. Any cheaper solutions?

Ok, I run a Tactical Tailor 3-point on my patrol carbine, and I have a CQB Solutions (Now Spectre) on my Dissy. A 3-pt can be used as a 1-pt by simply moving the slider that is on the portion of the webbing closest to the gun rearwards towards the rear sling hookup. What this does is takes the loop and pretty much frees everything up and makes the loop around your body conform to your body instead of the gun. It will also make the gun hang straight down and give you the ability to shoot from either shoulder like a 1-pt.
A 3-pt can also be used as a 2-pt, simply by legnthening the strap that goes around the body, and then just wearing it with no webbing between you and the rifle-all of it goes over your shoulder.

To me, if you don't mind making an adjustment or two when yu need a particular method of carrying,t he 3-pt is the most flexible platform you have, as it does it all.

Welcome to the forum!

I also prefer a 3 point sling to a 1 or 2 point sling, and use a Giles made by Wilderness  thewilderness.com/catalog/default.php/cPath/1_9?osCsid=612c
