I watched your previous video from four years ago and then noticed that you had made a comment referring to this video. Of course the military we never ran single points, but I do have friends now that I’m out of the military that a couple of them like the single point sling. I’m glad you came up with a product that integrates the pros of both.

[@Tier1Citizen]

I was the poster child for single point slings, for years! But I finally figured out how to make a 2 Point act like a 1 Point and I have now switched over. I am never going back.

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

I have both of your slings. I too keep finding myself going back to the two point. Your slings are so well made! Thank you for what you're doing for us!

[@Tier1Citizen]

Glad you like them! Handmade in America matters!

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

@@Tier1Citizen Yes, sir!

[@SheepDogNumber6]

Rifle/carbine = 2pt. Sbr/pistol/pdw = 1 point.

[@Giovanni-od7if]

Two point is the way to go! Have 2 of your slings, one on an AK and one on an AR. Both perform very well.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Yep, I finally made the jump, across the board, to my 2 point slings and I'm loving it!

[@marcbachman3303]

I just ordered a 2 point sling. I'm grateful for the videos and lessons and am happy to support you sir.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@allen_p]

I bought my first AR during the lockdown in 2020. I had 30-30 and shotgun with two point slings prior. I got a one-point sling for the AR, but I got a two-point after a couple of months. I just like how I can stabilize the rifle with a two-point. Other people can choose what they want, but I'll stick with a two-point. .

[@Excalibur01]

Well now I gotta buy one of these 2 point slings and try them out because I've had a single point originally made by Basham way back in my truck gun and it's worked out so far.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Bruh! Yeah, you need to try mine. I make them with much tighter stitching and tolerances than Daniel did. He taught me how to make 1 Point Slings then I took it and made it my own. I took what I learned from doing that and passed it over tot he 2 Point Slings.

[@seanwhite304]

I really need to try your SLING out . I absolutely fell in love with WPS Sling. I love not having any sliders on the SLING.

[@Giovanni-od7if]

Agree, the WPS sling is really well made/designed. Great sling.

[@dylana.601]

Got your 2 point sling for my AK and it forsure helps with the heftyness of the rifle. Great purchase and will be purchasing more in the future!

[@Tier1Citizen]

Yeah I made one for my nephew's RPK a couple of weeks ago and it works perfectly.

[@EZ2ignore]

Legitimate question: What about on PDW style firearms? (Glock with cobra stock, Recover Tactical brace, etc).

[@Excalibur01]

He's got a PDW specific sling for those, I think

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

@@Excalibur01 You are correct.

[@Tier1Citizen]

I have a PDW Sling that is specific for those types of weapons. Extreme shorties like that really can't even support a 2 point. A 7.5" can use a 2 point but anything shorter you need to go to a single point sling.

[@mabs9503]

virginia is a pretty interesting place at this time

[@Tier1Citizen]

Sure is.

[@williamsavage5724]

So after I watch your single point videos I become convinced and buy one, and now I'm learning you've switched sides!! Not sure how I feel stumbling into this vid.

[@Tier1Citizen]

You think you're conflicted, imagine how hard this video was for me to make. I've taken abuse for years because I've always been a single point sling guy. But it was becoming more and more irrefutable that my two point sling was the way to go.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Nice! No, that only happens if you literally open your hands and let it hit your junk. If you even slightly guide it to the side it just smacks your leg.

[@greenstash]

Good points of key information every time, bless your soul. SSSS

[@Tier1Citizen]

Thank you kindly

[@Ironsight_Army]

Thank you for being a positive role model in my life for the past 4 years. When I get upset or fusterated I ask myself "How would a Tier 1 Citizen behave in this situation"

[@Tier1Citizen]

Wow, that's humbling for me.

[@toddheimann8020]

I have both of your designs. My (your) 1 point has a place in my setups. I have a sneaky bag setup that doesn't facilitate a sling attached in the bag. I'd rather attach one buckle than two and I'll never be in it for long. My use is very niche admittedly, but I'm glad I have it. We all grow, and to the naysayers who feel you're immune to growth, open minded-ness and learning ... please show me the person/trainer/expert who can't learn new ways and I'll show you someone who isn't likely a critical thinker anymore. Thank you for your honesty and candidness in your own path. Please though, continue to show options on effecient single point use, for some it still has a place.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Well made points Todd. Also, thank you for your support. Lastly, how cool to talk to someone who gets how great Sneaky Bags are.

[@bernardcaillouet5565]

i noticed your a lefty. Is your Ar completely ambidextrous? If so, what Ar manufacturer do you run?

[@Tier1Citizen]

No, it is not fully ambi. I've just learned to work within the limitations of the weapon. Here, check this video out: kzbin.infoyrlJ8QOqNEQ

[@mintac3672]

Gonna have to check them out!!

[@Tier1Citizen]

Please do, the link is in the description.

[@ratchetman]

Basic Dude stuff. Heading over to your website to pickup one more sling.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Basic Dude Stuff. I love those videos. Thanks for the support.

[@ratchetman]

@@Tier1Citizen Your slings are well made and well thought out. I am switching out my slings and supporting USA small business. Thanks for all you do for the community!

[@Tier1Citizen]

Thank you sir.

[@EOTechN9ne]

I'm curious how you fold your sling up for storage or if you bother to do that. I really like how simple sling is.

[@Tier1Citizen]

I just bunch it up on the back a bit if possible. It's not really necessary with mine since they are so minimalist in nature.

[@JoeyBaby47]

You may find the NeoMag Sentry Strap helpful.

[@Tier1Citizen]

Yep, Ive seen that thing before. Very cool.

[@wesbrown5601]

So, how well do you think one of your slings would work on a Mini-14?

[@Tier1Citizen]

It would work extremely well. I work with folks to make them what they need and in some cases it becomes a new sling option. That's where the version with a QD on the back and an HK Hook on the front came from. Someone asked me to make him a sling for his AKM. He sent me some images of what he wanted and boom! Shoot me an email of your Mini 14 and I'll make sure to make you exactly what you need. No joke Wes, I literally am the only guy here at T1C. I make slings every day at my dining table and then clear away all of my sling making tools and supplies, and the dining table goes back to being a dining table. This is cottage industry artisan work at its best. Email me and let's make you what you need. There's no extra fee for this sort of thing. You guys help me get better at making slings. [e-mail]

[@joepedophile5528]

Thanks for making the video, but I’ll respectfully disagree. Single point baby!

[@Tier1Citizen]

It certainly has its place doesn't it? I tell people "go ahead and try to convince a SEAL that a single point sling is not the way to go" right?

[@joshuataft5541]

I'd love one..but on a disability income and aithe excuses..I made a para chord sling but it has no bungee and it's non adjustable..it's cool but not ideal... Thanx Abner.. holfuly I can get one soon ..I'll try. Cause I feel a sling is jst as important as anything on a rifle. Any interface to my rifle I try to tweak for my needs 👍

[@leegreene3059]

I got my son a couple slings on Amazon (bungee on each end) for $8 ish I think, it was for his airsoft ar and ak but, then I ended up getting a couple more for myself. They're not high end but, for the price they work pretty well.

[@joshuataft5541]

@@leegreene3059 awesome. Thanx for the info....I really appreciate it 🙏👍

[@Tier1Citizen]

Lee, please consider that when you buy from Amazon you're undercutting Americans who are trying to put out good products to support other Americans. Amazon is a clearinghouse for Chinese manufacturing. Their job was/is to get America addicted to cheap prices and fast shipping. They've done it masterfully and are slowly and surely going to turn that tap off as they continue to sink American manufacturing. Please consider walking away from Amazon. We dropped them three years ago and never looked back.

[@joshuataft5541]

@@Tier1Citizen you have a good point. Some guys jst don't have alit of money and cut corners..it's not ideal for sure .I'd rather support a guy like you..I dnt know why but I never liked ordering anything..and it holds me back.i prefer going and touching it b fore I buy.mbut I need to get over that .m but I see your point..

I know right?

[@DeathbyKillerBong]

the kenosha kid convinced me to buy one

[@Tier1Citizen]

Yeah he's lucky he was in a single point because it kept that gun on him.

[@brynnhooker3880]

Welcome to 2022. Single points are outdated

Don't tell that to a SEAL :)
