Sling for AR?

[Rainbow Six]

Looking for suggestions and info (links, feedback, photos, etc...) on slings for an AR. I'll be using it as a patrol rifle and need something that works well for transitions from pistol to rifle and back to pistol. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I like the Single Point slings...especially for transitioning to weak shoulder or to pistol

Any info on who makes 'em? Which ones are maybe made better than others, etc... ?

Troy Industries makes them. www.troyind.com. Also look at www.militarymorons.com for a rundown of various manufacturers and what slings work well.

Spectergear (previously called CQB) has quite a variety. I use these (as well as Wilderness Products stuff).

I've got one by Eagle Industries (the TAS-1):

and one by The Wilderness (the Giles):

I like them both. They both seem very high quality, but the Eagle has more features for less money, so I like it better (it has the quick release doohickey, and was $17 less).

Ended up buying a Blackhawk "Swift Sling" with the rifle this evening before having a chance to come back here and check this thread again. The Blackhawk seems to be perfect for what I was looking to do with it. Looks very similar to the one from Spectergear that L-2 posted. It lets the rifle hang vertical in front of me and after a little adjustment it puts the buttstock exactly where it needs to be as I swing the rifle up for a cheek weld. I think I'll be happy with this sling.



Anyway, thanks again for the input.
