AR-15 SLINGS:
AR-15 TACTICAL SLINGS
Being old fashioned I have spent my entire life with leather slings like your father and grand father used. I used them for everything from hunting and target practice to competitive shooting. As an open minded old guy I decided it was time to catch up with the times and see whats hot in slings for the M4, AR-15 type weapon. First thind I did was head to Brownells to get an idea of whats available. From there I started researching what's most popular and also posed the question on a few of my forums. Below is a list of the unanimous leaders in the field of tactical slings. As of the time of writing this page I have not tested ANY of these slings but in the very near future I do plan on getting one each of most of the models to test. The results will follow.
Note: Slings are mission specific. Select the type for how your weapon will be used.
Driven by the operational experience of Magpul DynamicsSM instructors, the MAGPUL MS2 Multi-Mission Sling System was designed to give a versatile weapon-retention solution for a multitude of tactical environments and missions. As a standalone product, the rapidly-convertible MS2 allows an operator to leverage the maneuverability of Single-Point® attachment for direct-action, or two-point attachment for stability. Single-hand adjustments, quick-detach lanyard and positive-locking metal hardware provide flexibility and durability in a truly adaptable sling system.
Used in conjunction with the Magpul ASAP® plate (sold separately), the MS2 enables seamless transitions into an array of shooting positions without getting bound or fouled. The MS2 concept allows switching from Weapon Shoulder to Reaction Shoulder for shooting around corners, under vehicles, or to minimize exposure. The MS2 can also increase operator survivability by keeping the weapon in the fight in case of injury to the operator's shoulder, arm, or hand.
