Re: single point slings which on to get!
the absolute best sling plate out there at the moment is the "ikickhippies" SLAP plate.
The slap plate is designed by a guy I know and is similar to the MagPul but in my mind a better design. The MagPul is two pieces and makes noise. The SLAP is a one piece design and allows for multiple types of attachment, from 1inch web gear, HK hooks, snap hooks.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
I've tried Troy sling, and many others. By far, my favorite is Urban ERT sling. You can convert it from single point to double point. With single point you can get an adaptor which fits on you belt in the back, so that you can flip you weapon over your back in single point configuration and clip it in place which keeps it from moving around when climbing etc. I use the same Urban ERT sling for multiple weapons from rifles to shotguns, just have different clips or adaptors. Quality and speed of adjustments are excellent.

Send him an email thru his website or call 706-216-2538, ask for Derek. He is the man behind them, its not the only thing he does, he actually works for 400 Jewlery and Loan, so dont be surprised if they answer the phone and say "jewelry and Loan". They are in Ga and store hours are monday thru friday 9 to 6 and sat 10 to 5 closed on sunday.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
My personal preference for a single point sling is the Gear Sector single point . It has multiple adapters available depending on how you want to mount it to your weapon. My second choice would be the Tactical Link single point . Both allow you to remove the sling from the weapon while keeping it on your person. I personally use the Gear Sector sling on my work carbine and have it mounted to a Tango Down PR-4 . I can't make any "permanent" modifications to my agency weapons so the PR-4 gives me a mount with 3 QD points that can be removed without taking the stock off.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
I tried the single point from blackhawk and CAA and did not like either one so I ended up with a 2 point from Vickers with the flush cups and have not looked back but thats just me.

Agreed. If you're using the sling the extra loop doesn't rattle too much, and keeps your sling from getting torn up on the "Ikickhippies"..
The only problem is the clip is so big, its hard to find a front rail sling adapter until Magpul's comes out. For now I'm using 550 haha..

Thus the MS2, single for action, two point for packing.

Looks like a ripoff of the MS2. I call it "Taking someones product and putting their stink on it."
Just buy the ORIGINAL MS2.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
Singles points are great for assault and suck for anything else. The only reason I still have one on my patrol rifle is because I am working on a better solution.
I know guys who run the MagPul sling and like it. I also know guys who like the VCAS sling.
Try them out. Just beware that if you use a single point for any amount of time in the real world you are going to get kneecapped or nailed in the nuts at some point. Not a big deal when you are wearing full armor, sucks when all you have between your nuts and a rifle is some cotton.

Not from what I can tell. Their products are wholly original, or otherwise improved on an older design.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
the ODA guys I sell to really like the Blackhawk 70SM04BK Universal Single Point Sling Adapter.
They pair that with the Blue Force Gear Breachers sling or regular BFG single point.

Completely agree. This is what i've been practicing with for my AR platform and have never had any problems with it. Fully adjustable in many ways, quick detach, and easy ambidextrous/off-hand shooting transitions.
As far as style of single point sling, they don't range very far from each other, they're pretty similar in construction. Thus all you're left with is quality, and you can't go wrong with Magpul quality.
Bottom line: whatever you get, practice with it. You will surprise yourself with how well you can handle whatever sling you get after a month of daily 10 minute drills.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
I have no idea why people still mess around with single point slings. They have only one advantage and a whole host of disadvantages, especially if you need your hands free to grab someone, climb a wall or manipulate something. The bottom line is a sling requires some kind of stowing capability and single points can't just be slung onto your back to free your hands - you need some device to secure them. But they are fast for transitions.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
Like others have stated, the single is good foor kicking in doors but not much else. I like the MS2 and tacsling for that reason. If you need to go over a fence that the DB faild to mention, assuming the approach was clear, its nice to have the two point to secure it behind you when you are jumping the fence in full kit. With the single you may also wack someone in the grape when you go to cuff as it likes to swing out from behind you right at that time.
It does make a cool noise though.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
SLAP PLATE and TacStrap both are American made in America by Americans. Magpul made it, these guys just designed it better.
I run the MS2 but am pissed that the front sling attachment point from Magpul is none existent (not manufactured yet, WTF) and the alligator clip is a joke for slinging it on your back unless its locked which you may or may not have time to do. I slung mine in a hurry and it (patrol rifle)went straight to the deck cause the alligator clip hit my gear and opened.

the single point attachment sling from CSM gear. Used it in A-Stan and Iraq, as well as with my SWAT team here. Works great and Mike stands behind his gear.

Re: single point slings which on to get!
i really liked the tactical tailor single point for my deployments. hung perfectly for me, could move with ease, transitions to pistol were easy, and effortless really because of the wide straps spreading weight across more of your back
