I am done with my single point sling ! I am done with busted knees and nuts
What are some good sling recommendations.
My Specs: I have a Del-Ton m4 with Ergo F93 stock, houge grip, Vortex 1-4 in a ADM mount, Samson mfg 11" ff rail, 16" m4 barrel with a Rainier Arms XTC, Elzetta zorm with a Fenix tk12 and a Blackhawk! single point sling.

Well I like my MS2 well enough but I only use it competitions. It works but I like my Blackhawk 3 point sling more. If I didn't have to take all those ASAP sling plates I'd probably just use 3 points for all of my AR's.

I have a 3 point on my HD shotgun and really like it as well.

All those ASAP sling plates ??? This is 100% better than an ASAP plate

SLAP Plate( BTW: came out way before the ASAP )

I use the mission spec irene adaptive sling (IAS).

It's a single point that easily converts to a two point for transport. In 2 point mode it rides high and tight to your chest or back.

I really like it. It's like the MS2 but better.

I would also recommend the vtac quick adjust 2 point.

I have this same product design on my AR and love it. It gives you a few more options for mounting slings on your AR.

I did not like my MS2. My sling search ended when I got the VCAS. It's what's on my ARs now and I've no intention of switching em out.

Two point sling are more popular currently because it doesn't have disadvantages of the single point's down side of the weapon banging on your body, also it doesn't cover the left side controls of the AR and get tangled with chest rigs like three point slings.

I use three types and brands of two point slings for different purposes, sling designs have their good points and weak points.

Viking Tactics VTAC (also the LaRue version)  

Vickers VCAS made by Blue Force Gear

Gear Sector GS-2P

Viking Tactics VTAC: I use this sling for general purpose, it is designed to be used with tension as a shooting aid and snug with the body when using your hands for other things and also for walking, running and climbing.

Vickers VCAS: This sling is designed for tactical training and carbine classes, they are designed to be used loose, it doesn't stay snug to the body when tightened, also it could be adjusted to different desired lengths very quickly and easily.

Gear Sector GS-2P: The best feature of this sling is if you have different attachments with your multiple weapons, you could have a HK hook, MASH hook, QD swivels on different weapons and only use one sling with different adapter ends, it's a modular sling.

Here are some YouTube vids of some of these slings:
