I’ve recently bought two slingsters and two LaRue slings for my rifles and I am liking both of those kinds of slings a lot. That said, I do have a Vickers AK sling on order, so hopefully that’ll work out as well.

These are really sweet.

I have two Vickers, a VTAC, a Sierra Tac, and the TRex Arms. Honestly the TRex is now my favorite. They are all great, they are all just slings.
The Vickers is huge and long, compared to the others. The VTAC is made of really "floppy" material, although it doesn't matter with the weapon slung. Will be picking up a ferro one day too. |

I have a Blue Force Gear unpadded and a Magpul MS4. So far I’m very happy with both.

I've used most of the 2 point slings from Specter Gear, and I really like all of them.

$3.00 US GI silent sling. Perfectly serviceable, cheap and effective.
NO PLASTIC KEEPERS EVER! |

I like parts of the grey ghost gear sling. They use the hypalon material. Its super thin and light, but the adjustment method absolutely sucks, so it sits in a box.
Im really liking the Stark Sling from Citizen gear co. I have a few. Good quality and adjustment and cant beat the price. Hes an arfcommer too. https://citizengearco.square.site/s/shop |

I use BFG unpadded for my work rifle and all my personal guns except my SCAR 17, which has a padded version. I also have a slingster as a spare, but it's only ever been used once and that was by a hunting buddy who didn't yet have a sling for his SCAR, so I leant him mine.

Just went through the sling dilemma - I had a BFG sling through two deployments as a grunt and it did fine. I was between a couple of those and a Vickers until I stumbled across Warhorse Tactical. It liked that they are THIN. I ordered a few to try out and so far I am a big fan. The price is also pretty good.
Unpopular opinion but I have never liked padded slings unless I was packing a M249/240. |

Troy has a relatively new series (or so I think) called the T-Series. Sportsman’s has them in stock at their shop and I price-matched one from LockedLoaded for $25. Great, American made sling for the price.

Call me a relic, but I like a plain ole 1-1/4" web sling with a quick adjusting slider.

Quoted: I was running the MS4 before I picked up the TR-1. I liked my MS4 but the buckle/slider was the major hang up (literally), it was too slow to move and get it adjusted correctly while running drills. The "T" pull on the TR-1 is the tits. https://www.slytactical.com/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/0c32b7a092c684a5c15139a5ba99f1ff/t/r/tr_1_8.jpg https://www.slytactical.com/pub/media/catalog/product/cache/0c32b7a092c684a5c15139a5ba99f1ff/t/r/tr_1_7.jpg View Quote Digging that QD point. |

I’ve been using the BFG Vickers padded sling for many years now. I’m very happy with how easy it is to adjust and work around.
I’ve got one of their 221 slings on order which seems like it might be very good. I’m gonna see how much I use the 2 to one point during classes in 2021 hopefully. When I shoot from barricades or really weird positions I’ll just take my arm form under the 2 point and it basically is retained around the back of my neck if that makes sense. Makes it easy to get into unusual positions or switch shoulders for me rather than letting slack in and out all the time. |

VTAC, not even a question.
Better for quick adjustments than a Blue Force and more comfortable. |

Quoted: I bought two Proctor slings. Didn't really care for them. I listed them for sale the other day. I'm trying out a new guy in GA. His business is called Flatline Fiber Co. His slings are like Vickers Blue Force Gear, but 1" inch instead of 1.5" inch. View Quote @nastynys How do you like your flatline sling? |
