Anyone else wish Magpul made their MS2 sling a little bit wider and slightly firmer..
My only 2 issues with the sling after an all day carbine class were that if the material was a bit wider it wouldnt have dug into my shoulder as much. The other is that the material is so soft that it easily twists up during transitions and then at that point is hard to get flatened back out.. These are not deal breakers for the sling yet just small issues I had.. Am I the only one?? |

Not sure why, but why the adjustment loop is easy to pull down and a pain to pull up.  +1  That is because when you pull down you are making it longer and adding material.. When you pull up you are making it shorter and the straps that go around your body all move at once causing drag. Add in the fact that they are tangled makes it even worse... |
| good to read some field tests of the ms2 sling, because on paper it looks great, and in the demo vid of course it looks great, but I trust real peoples experiences anyday. Im nearing the end of my patience on this sling as well, and might go with the ASP, but i dont like the clips they use, which have to be left dangling on the gun. Would be perfect with the similar gator or HK type clips |

might go with the ASP
You won't be disappointed. Even if you are, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. but i dont like the clips they use, which have to be left dangling on the gun.
For the record, our ASP utilizes a variety of modular weapon adapters to accommodate your weapons configuration instead of requiring you to modify your weapon to accept our sling. 1. Auxiliary adapter for standard slotted sling mounts. 2. HK adapter for ring style sling mounts. 3. QD adapter for machined qd socket style mounts. 4. Auxiliary adapter can also be used to interface any type of non standard component such as a snap shackle. Modularity is key here. Would be perfect with the similar gator or HK type clips
Which is why we offer them as an option.

Would be perfect with the similar gator or HK type clips May I ask if you are a casual hobby shooter, a regular serious competitor, or a professional gun toter (much time with a weapon on a sling)? My personal observations about slings in general is that each of these three groups have different needs, experiences, and/or expectations. Personally, no matter how appropriate a sling design is (and I do like the concept of the ASP for example), I shy away from a sling with plastic fastex type buckles. I have seen too many broken plastic sling and gear "hardware" during my career and prefer metal "hardware". I have seen the plastic "hardware" break when hung up on something, with heavy use from "fatigue" and am concerned the plastic could fail at the worst possible time. Murphy is a persistent concern! |
