Rifle Slings: WHAT to get, WHY to get it, and HOW to run it

UPDATE: New WPS Rifle Sling now available: warriorpoetsupplyco.com/wps-r...
In my opinion, a fighting rifle is not complete until it has a good sling. Finding the right sling can be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be. There are a lot of slings I despise such as 3 point slings, other slings I prefer not to run such as single point slings, and then there are my beloved 2 point slings.
I prefer the Vickers Sling by Blue Force Gear and Larry Vickers for reasons I will discuss in this video, however there are other good slings I would use such as: The 5.11 VTAC 2 Point Sling by Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics; the D3 Sling by Travis Haley of Haley Strategic; the MS4 or MS3 Sling by Magpul Dynamics.

Single Point slings were first developed during the Civil War for calvary. They needed a way to not lose their rifles if they ever dropped it while on horseback. We still see the remainant of these on the Winchester model 1873 lever action rifles with the Saddle Ring. Basically, you would never hit your junk with your rifle while on horseback, so it made sense at the time.

I got a buddy while debating this topic. He was showing me all the moves he could do without any issues like id have with a 2 point. I told him to hold it up and then drop it. The dumbass did it and racked himself perfectly.

That whole thing about the single point sling was the reason I subscribed.

[@brokeenthusiast8861]

Don't know if you fact checked it yet so I did. I found out through people on the inside that the government start a program called Pop Control. This group of people were in charge of population control. There beginning stages were to stop the reproduction of citizens that pose a threat to the Elite. After months of R&D they developed a device called the SPS AKA SINGLE POINT SLING

[@k5wxp22]

It's amazing with all the content available on the internet, there is very little on how to actually use a sling. Even the sling manufacturers fail! Thanks for providing an excellent how-to video. The jokes were hilarious, too!

[@szczur0192]

5:54 in Poland we were taught to get the sling under your left arm and swiftly move the barrel with your left hand to tuck the whole rifle on your left ass cheek with the barrel pointed upwards, it's really fast and your right hand can do anything in that time like pulling out your sidearm, plus you can get your rifle back quickly by pulling on the barrel. It works really well on AK-shaped rifles, haven't tried it on an AR yet.

[@bullish3584]

If you havent decided on a single point sling or a two point sling, the Magpul MS3 Single QD Gen2 sling is great. You can run it as a single point or two point so long as you have the qd attachments. The magpul ASAP qd attachment is also fantastic for single point allowing for ambidextrous movement. Run whatever way works best for what your planning on doing.

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

Try this: Run your two point sling with the back point at the End Plate and the forward point on the hand guard, as close to the upper receiver as possible. You will get the best aspects of a single point with the security of not hitting your junk with a 2 point. With your support hand you simply push the barrel down towards your hip and move your strong had to your handgun in one smooth motion. Grip and draw your handgun while moving your support hand along your belt line and follow your natural muscle memory for a pistol draw from there. Simple, simple.

You may not like doing gear videos, but you just made me realize how useful a sling can be. Always hated them. But now I see what I’ve been doing wrong! So keep them up. Every little thing can make a huge difference.

[@bradrheinheimer1525]

Love this guy! Glad he's on our side..

[@Embrachu]

I've always been a single-point sling guy myself, I guess because I've assumed that two-point meant your sling was secured like most conventional rifle slings, with a point of contact too far forward, of which I've never been a fan as this is intended more for over-the-shoulder carry and not so easily accessible. However, I just moved my picatinny rail sling point back, almost directly in front of the receiver, and that works quite well, so you've converted me. The only complaint I have now, however (which is minimal), is that while the forward position is now greatly stabilized, there is no "slop" in directing the weapon to my right an extra 15°, past center, the way I could with the single-point (although this would not really be intended for aimed fire anyway) Again, not a major deal-breaker, but you never know if you have enough time to swing your body in that direction.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

So glad to find this. When I was in we didn't have anything but the stock M-16 slings, even though there were plenty of better things in the NSN catalog. Then again we were pretty much REMFs anyway. I was my first units armorer and finally got the okay to order some new single point ones but by the time we actually received them I was transferring out. As it turns out I probably would have been better off just working out a better way to attach and use our existing ones. Then everybody could just adapt their rifles and slings in whatever unit they found themselves in later. When I was in PLDC (2003) we had a Ranger, just back from Afghanistan, that told us they just attached their M-4s to the shoulder of their vests (strong side) via a short length of para chord and a D-ring. This allowed them to disconnect it easily but also gave them hands free ability and it was very quick to draw up to your stock weld. We mimicked that, as best we could, in the field with our slings folded up and taped and attached to our shoulder pad on the LBV. We couldn't disconnect it though, so we were stuck keeping our vests on constantly but that's okay. We got a lot of strange looks from everyone else but nobody told us to take them off. Anyway, one thing that did as well was keep the rifle from fraternizing with our own privates ;) (IOW knocking your junk), as you pointed out as a downside of a single point approach. Now I wonder if that was a consideration when they adopted that method. Well, when I arrived at my new unit I wasn't in charge of shit and that was just fine, haha. So no more trying to convert everyone to a more tactical approach with gear. Maybe if I had stayed in longer, who knows.

If you want the features without the cost buy a dd upper and slap it on a colt/s&w/ect. lower. Dd lowers are pretty much mil spec with a few more bells and whistles. But yea they're great rifles I'd highly recommend them if you're planning on hard use.

I totally agree for the same reasons, only I like the front attachment further out on the hand guard.

I was thinking "just sling it on your back" and a nano second later you say " or sling it on your back or something goofier". Too funny.

I always used a 2 point sling, no other option in my day. Now, my current go to is a SIG716 DMR, 18" heavy barrel, with 1x8 PA Platinum scope, Spuhr scope mount and Atlas bipod, it weighs about 16 lbs, too much for a 1 point sling, plus I like to use the sling to tighten up and steady the rifle. I consider this paramount to other considerations. Nice video, appreciate the benefit of your experience. Thanks.
