single point sling reccomendation

[padronanniversary]

Would you please recommend a single point sling ? I am planning on using it for a shotgun. I figured I would just ask for your experiences since there so much knowledge here. I'll be taking an upcoming shotgun class, and mainly wanted to use it to transition to the handgun.

Thanks in advance

Agreed, single points have too many disadvantages, however for breaching they're just fine. You'll just want to find one with a bit of stretchiness to more easily facilitate stowing and deploying.

North East Tactical has several models. I have been using them for a while now.

As much as I am loathe to admit it, I have been using the Condor single bungee 1 point sling for the last 6 years. The same sling has been used to carry my rifle and shotgun both here and abroad. The sling is dirty as hell but the bungee is still springy and still takes up some of the weight and the latch hasn't failed yet. The rubber on the latch rubbed off years ago but that doesn't bother me.

I don't use a sling on my shotgun for work but I've been using the Magpul sling on my M4. It quickly converts from 1 point to 2 point. Transitions from strong side/support side are very fast, and transitioning to a secondary weapon is easy with it. This is what I'd use.

+1 for Magpul, I love mine and it can go from 1 to 2 point very quickly. Bad thing is they are in short supply until the next model comes out.

While I agree that a 1 point is not ideal for a shotgun especially a longer one take a look at the Gear Sector line of slings. I have used both the 1 point and 2 point at work. I would personally recommend the Blue Force Gear VCAS for a shotgun. How do you plan to attach the sling to the weapon?
