Single Point vs Two Point Sling

[@comcastjohn]

You didn’t talk about any disadvantages of the two point sling. This video was very informative and helpful. Thank you sir.

[@ccramit]

Former SAW gunner here. I know a single point sling on a SAW was not practical, but the two point sling was such a pain in the ass during firefights. With my backpack, and gear, and the ballistic vest, I was constantly fumbling around to get that damn thing up and firing. Didn't help that I'm 5'5" and 150 lbs. But the new guy in my infantry platoon always got the SAW. Loved firing it, hated the logistics.

[@thoughtsfromaidiot5928]

Giving the small guy one of the heaviest weapons always seemed stupid to me.

Be glad you had a sling. We had tape and paracord

[@markkouri2877]

I carried an AK47 in Uruzgan, Afghanistan with a single point sling that I fashioned from a parachute strap. It gave me the flexibility to walk hands free, quickly be on target, and transition to another weapon platform. It was faster and less cumbersome than a two point sling. From a practical standpoint, I prefer a single point sling. Regardless of whichever you choose, it is important to practice with it to build up your muscle memory.

Also... this instructor is an excellent speaker. He did not begin any of his sentences with that most grating pig-like utterance, "Uuuuuuhhhh..." He knew where he was going with the presentation, and he moved right along. Job well done, Sir ! Perhaps you could give lessons to some of those KZbin presenters who start every sentence with, "Uuuuhhhhh...."

[@UN12actual]

Kirill Berinov thank you, sincerely appreciate the comment and kind words

[@aerialplayz4608]

So many people actually don’t think about the value of being a good public speaker or speaker in general, whether it be on a video or in front of a large audience, def very underrated skill set

[@CL-ty6wp]

I was surprised how well it was done and came looking for this comment.

[@UN12actual]

Thanks so much I really do appreciate the compliment

[@richardndake4215]

I need slings for my rifles how much one 🇿🇲 from Lusaka Zambia

[@ytbenavraham9553]

I use the Magpul where I can change from one point to two points. I also have VTAC slings on my other rifles. For me it's about having multiple tools in your bag, training on all that you have. As mission requirements dictate the situation. Just my opinion

[@XrayMike17plus1]

Yep. I have Blueforce and Magpul slings with the sliding sections to cinch down the slings. Magpul always seems to use codes to designate the slings that are difficult to remember. Did you buy the sling that way or get the adaptor piece to convert it? If you bought it that way do you recall designator code?

[@DramA525]

Video was perfect. Other videos didn’t show what we all Wanted! Visual explanation

[@molonlabe8126]

Not too long, not too short, and all of the info we need in between. Thank you for that !

I have an updated video as well

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

Thanks for the video. The information is just what an old-timer is looking for.

[@jared123123]

Makes more sense to buy a 2 point sling that has the ability to just clip together to use as one point. Can switch as needed instead of a permanent one point sling only imo

[@alanburns9917]

"Self correcting error" lmfao

[@ChitoMirandaJr]

Very helpful video. Thanks

[@hectormorales5306]

Savvy sniper sling. Basically get the ability to do both with one sling. Depending on your application use The best at the moment

[@isaacschmitt4803]

Changed my mind and opinion, not an easy task! We used 2-point slings back in the Navy for watch standing and I never really liked them, but I hadn't given much thought to how useful they actually are as opposed to the single-points. Here I was, set and ready to buy the plate and single-point sling, but now I think I'll grab a few swivel studs and a 2-point instead.

[@UN12actual]

glad you found it helpful, hope you enjoy the sling

[@emaniwright5921]

I found the presentation helpful for a first time novice like my self ! Thx for stright talk knowledge jedi master!

[@GirthyRooster]

Where can I buy that one point from the video? Looking for one with a little bit of stretch at the end like that one but having trouble.

[@cray-z7404]

WHICH WOULD BE MOST IDEAL FOR CROSSBOW DEER 🦌 HUNTING ??? I STILL HUNT & STAND HUNT & WHILE IN STAND I LIKE HAVE FREE HAND TO RATTLE, CALL ETC. & NOT WORRY ABOUT BOW FALLING OUT MY LAP ... I WANT TO FEEL CONFIDENT & COMFORTABLE SO IM TRYING TO DECIDE BETWEEN SINGLE OR DOUBLE ? ANY OPINION AND ADVICE HIGHLY APPRECIATED... THANKS 😃 ( the 2 point looks like it would be better to help me have support for Free hand shots ) may just get the combo so have the option of both !

[@Sweetdaddy415]

Great video, straight to the point and very informative, not to complicated or technical. Made my decision much easier keep up the excellent work. Thanks!

[@nicholashodges201]

3:38 yes!!!! I love seeing the tacticool crowd do that. My favorites are the ones that don't use a single point enough to remember that. Once at the range I saw a dude almost end his bloodline like that...

[@nicholashodges201]

@Carson Osborne you can blow one of several "Things You Want To Keep" off, usually in front of a child or first time shooter as per Murphy's law

[@Kdlawman74]

Many good considerations to ponder and the speaker is very good at his craft.

[@UN12actual]

Thank you, appreciate the kind words

[@KhaosWolf94]

All a matter of preference, there is no "come one, be all" for slings. Whatever makes you feel comfortable to complete whatever mission is. Be it the range, home defense, etc... This is a good comparison of the two to help make an educated decision. Go to your local range and try them out. Ask if you can shoot with it equipped. Then buy the one that works best for you.

[@UN12actual]

Preference is certainly part of it. But in reality I can’t think of a lot of pros to the single point for those that actually work with a rifle. Especially when he two point can do everything a single point can, but the single point falls far far short.

[@KhaosWolf94]

@@UN12actual would you agree that going to the range and requesting to try out different sling systems to see what best suits you, is a good idea?

[@UN12actual]

I see your point of trying, but the reality is single point only does a couple of things well, otherwise they kinda suck for the majority of rifle work. I wouldn't bother wasting time with trying out a single sling

[@KhaosWolf94]

@@UN12actual then why make the video?

[@randymicallef3545]

I was trying to decide if a single point would be a better option for my 300blk pistol. After watching this I see I should just stick with a 2 point for all the same reasons I have a 2 point on my 16" rifle. Thanks for the video and information.

[@661krash]

what is the sling in the video and where can get it?

[@Saanonymous80]

Well done video. Answered almost all my questions. The only one I have left is which is better for "aggressor retention"?

[@UN12actual]

That’s a whole separate topic in a way. When I’ve done force on force and combative straining the sling changes things as you are attached to a really large handle for someone to grab and pull you around.

[@larrywilliams7993]

I like Vickers that attach to my LWRC DI. It attaches to the hole in the stock and have it on the side opposite if the ejection port. It attaches to the back side of the hand hold(behind the hand hold which also has hole for a quick mount. And you have a pull that you can tighten it up. Some slings are not comfortable and will hit you in the "stones" and can ruin your day.

Well need to let this hang out there. I am trying to set up an AR-15. Red/green dot. Any thoughts on how far "down" the barrel?

[@nicholashodges201]

I have to say the two point sling is actually way more versatile than G & T goes into. Check the "Ranger Rick" books for examples. The author is a lifetime vet w combat experience and the Ranger tab. His books are recommended reading for U.S. troops (at least until I cycled out, but much of his advise is still valid) and are (were?) readily available in base PX's across America.

I bought a single point when they were popular, not really suggested for a m16 though. Even being 6' it set way to low.

[@danielbirch8500]

two-point sling all day for the ability to wrap around your arm as you would a loop sling. Single-poiny sling is just a bit comfier especially if you have to take it on and off a lot with a flak on.

[@aquilesvailo4786]

Using the 2 point as support is how I got expert marksmanship badge. Way more stable when shooting off hand.
