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.

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 KZfaq presenters who start every sentence with, "Uuuuhhhhh...."

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

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.

Thanks. Well explained and likeable speaker. Held my attention thru out

This guy is really good at doing videos, he knows how to keep things simple and keep the watchers attention

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

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

"Self correcting error" lmfao

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

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

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.

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.

Magpul MS4 - done

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

Told me everything I needed to know about my new 2 point thank you sir!

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

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

Nobody has time for an Intro/Outro longer than SIX seconds, please & thank you!!

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...

I like a two point for operational type activity...patrol...etc. Single point for use in the home.

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 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.

Thumbs up for the "self- correcting error"😆😂😆

Very informative. But i think i'm gonna get both to see which one is more comfortable & best works for me. Thanks! 🙂👍🏻

Ak guy here, just bought my first ar and I'm really digging it so much lighter than my ak and even tho I've decked out my ak I have so much more I can do with my ar now thanks for the tips tho

Magpul makes one that gives you both options

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.

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

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!

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

Great tip near the end.

Won my sub sir, was looking for a vid like this as I'm in the market for a new sling

If this guy had the slightest idea as to where we were headed just two years in the future,......

One point way more practical when need to shoot from either shoulder. The 2 point sling is for carrying. Doesn't allow the same transition like a 1 point sling.

2 point for me from now on. Thanks for the info!

Very helpful video. Thanks

The wrap around on the wrist is legit.

Was purchasing a ProTube VR gun stock for playing in Virtual Reality, and had the choice between one point or two point slings. Knew nothing about it. Now I know what I want: 2 Point sling! Thank you for the concise explanation.

Prefer a one point sling. Being able to quickly detach your rifle is so convenient.

Very helpful video, thank you for that. Answered all sling related questions I had coming into this video. Subbed.

Best video on the topic! I am new to shooting sport and I learned a lot here! Cheers!

Today is 1/8/2021 as I type this. My guess is this knowledge will be in very, very demand in the coming months ahead.

Yep! Self correcting and you get a 2 point where you can do the same with retention if needed

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.

Excellent coverage and explanation of all the options, pros and cons. Thank you

2:26 is where you want to be.

Two point is just simply superior for most people. Buy a 2 point and don't look back, plus get some training

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

Love the idea of using the sling as a support. Always tips to learn!

Very well explained thank you very much

Great presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the explained method

Wow very articulate and concise thanks for this vid. Which sling maker would you recommend sir?

Very informative video. Thanks for posting it!!

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

Very well explained thks

Fantastic video. Thank you very much for posting.

Great informative video. I use a combo sling just for the convenience of being able to quickly switch from single to 2 point as needed for the situation, but use 2 point the most.

Im sitting here trying to figure out how to tighten up and loosen the 2 point sling. You make it look easy in the video but its kind of hard for a beginner.

Excellent video

Very good video. Presented very well. Having seen the "accident/mistake" of guys letting the firearm "DROP" center NORTH 🤓 with a One Point sling.....it will ONLY happen Once. Ouch

walking - 2 point chest rig plate carrier on property - single point

Exactly what I was looking for.

Good job. Thx.

Thank you.

Thanks. Just what I needed to know.

2 point is definitely the way to go if: - u compulsively like adjusting straps - like constantly dodging the front point with your support hand - like having to dodge straps on reloads and side prone - don't care about muzzle sweeping others beside or behind u while u go hands on or kneel - like convincing others a padded necklace is comfortable holding a rifle all day Single point is the way to go: - if u remember transitioning doesn't mean letting go of an aimed rifle with both hands in the air - u hate climbing things - u prefer not to get DQ'd in competition for muzzle sweeping everyone while slung

Slapping the jewels is a major single-point sling down side.

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 !

Thank you,you explained exactly what I needed

Thanks for the help buddy...

good, thx

I like both. So my sling does dual and single I like to have options

I was essentially dead set on a single point sling. Thank fuck I watched this. 2 point it is.

Just came across your channel. Great stuff! Thanks!

I like how after trying all the gimmicky slings, everyone just went back to a piece of fabric lol

Very informative, thank you !

I used to run a single point but the rifle always ended up between my legs. Paul Howe uses a bungee cord to secure it to his body. I use a two point Blue Force Gear Vickers.

Great vid. Thanks!

I will go with 2 point.Thanks.

Awesome vid👍

A reason to buy a 3-point sling

Outstanding video. Thanks for what you do!

Excellent Video!! Thank you for helping me make my decision.

It would have been helpful if the background and the instructor's shirt had been some color other than black. Or... make the sling O.D. Green or camo-brown.. either of those would give some contrast and make the sling very visible.

I recently purchased a M Pul ms4 QD , to me best of both worlds being able to fairly quickly switch from a 2 point to to single point.

I’m wishing that I watched this a week ago. Pre-order of single point sling...

Amazing video!! I'm trying to figure out a sling setup for my shotgun with folding stock do you have any ideas 8)

Great video. I recently purchased a Firefield two point sling and can't seem to figure out how to attach it.

I used a 3 point in the Corp....guess I'm old now lol

+ u can always carry a 2 point like a 1 point

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?

Great knowledge!!!!

Very informative....thanks for the vid!

thank you so much! super informative

I’m not in the service so one point is the best urban use

hey dave,whats your'e opinion for a 10.5 inch ar pistol ? 1 or 2 point and any opinion on buffer tube cheek rest , thx mr b

2-point sling for tactical/combat rifle yes that seems like the way to go. But what about 1-point vs 2-point sling for tactical/combat "pump" shotgun? There's a lot of issues with 2-point slinging a tactical pump shotgun, primarily with clearance issues with cycling the action & reloading in high stress life & death situations & even front attachment points obstructing weapon light function if using light without a pressure switch so as to be able to mount light on opposite side of front attachment point. Single point slinging tactical "pump" shotguns have none of these issues/drawbacks. Can you please speak on this or even better, make another video just like this one comparing pros & cons of 1-point vs 2-point slings for tactical "pump" shotguns specifically?

Thank you 🙏 it’s really nice
