So here is the dilemma, I am putting a slingle pont sling on my carbine and I don't know which sling to use but the big question is:



QD VS HK hook.





Who has experience with these and which is the better option?





Lets get this hashed out

It was recommended to me to look at the MASH hooks. I've not tried them yet, nor have I ever purchased from this store, but it's the part that was recommended to me (and if you look at it I think you'll see why)

Just something to keep in mind.

First of all due your research on botachtactical on this forum.

In regard to attachment points, I have used the quick disconnects and like them better than hooks.  Thats my preference though and others will differ.  Look at Magpuls ASAP and Tactical links 360 mount.  Tactical link is super expensive though but it is sweet.

I use QD also, I like it better myself, I have Tactical link 180 mounts and just recently got a MI rear single point mount which seems pretty sweet.

If I was going with single point I would start off by buying the Magpul ASAP plate.

Noveske's QD rear endplate = SUPREME

It seems to me like there is just more that can go wrong with the QD attachments, small moving parts.



The hook seems simpler.  But I like the way the QD can rotate.



Still confused.

This.  

Just bought two.  Arguably the best QD single-point sling attatchment available so far.

Why would Noveske list that they need to be installed by an amourer?



It looks like a good option though

HK hooks could accidentally get disconnected in rare conditions see this video.

They're like two hooks that are overlapped, you have to separate them a little like about one tenth of an inch, then hook one hook in the hook loop mount.

It's kind of like your key rings.

It won't come out accidentally like the HK hooks, I usually seen them used on M249 and M240 machine guns.

I had an ASAP but just switched to the Noveske. The ASAP rattled when the sling wasn't attached. I like the Noveske so far.

What's the quality difference between the Noveske and the DD?



They look identical.
