I don't think twice about my QD's, it's not like they cause a problem sitting there, and they're handy when I want to remove the sling to make cleaning or storage easier.

After GT’s video a couple weeks ago, you won’t be alone. Do whatever works. But don’t get rid of them, just put them in your “parts” box in case you decide to return.

I am sold on quick release single point slings on all my rifles. I will never go back. I like the hands free carry and quick release for cleaning.

For hunting I use slings. For home defense I do not. I don't want any chance of a sling getting hung up on anything. How they attach is not really important.

Easier to remove for cleaning and flat range use. They aren't noisy and are conveniently placed. |

It sucks to clear a house and then have to hold your rifle for beers with the home owner, because you didn't have a sling you could slap on in a second. Same for weapon lights. I wish a beer coozie would fit in the grip pocket.

No sling on my direct go to HD rifle. I do not imagine a point where I would need a sling. It does have a QD that I can put on it that I have trained with. I just choose to keep it off. If I needed to do patrolling I could put it on as that’s the only time I would really want it.

I’ll also add……for all the slings I’ve used (and let me tell you young whipper-snappers something, I’ve used a LOT!) from the USGI standard, to the advent of the Chalker sling (that fucker was a bitch to weave into your vest/web gear), to the “three point” new hotness from the company I can’t remember , to the single point “wilderness”, to the single point bungee, to all the fucking slings I’ve used …..
Nothing is as good as the Magpul MS4 sling. The only thing close was the old Korea war era USGI sling that I learned to modify in a Sniper school in the 90’s. Magpul took it to another level with the ability to make that sling go from “single point” to “two point” to “quick cuff” for standing/kneeling unsupported”…hands down best sling ever. Oh yeah,….it has QD.

I just choose to keep it off. If I needed to do patrolling I could put it on as that’s the only time I would really want it. For an HD rifle, I can understand. Where you want a sling is if you have to do a lot of other crap that requires one or both hands free, or where dropping the rifle means you have pretty much zero chance of recovering it or you reasonably expect it to be destroyed by the drop. Personally I wouldn't want a sling for patrolling if I can avoid it, but if you're with other people, trying to carry someone or carry their shit in an emergency can be a complete pain in the ass without slings. QD's can (rarely) go bad and no amount of oil will keep them from squeaking up a storm. Clip types are much more mechanically reliable but harder to silence. |

I train a lot with standard direct-attachment slings because I figure that training with basic rigs is more beneficial than training with some specific hi-speed rig. If I can do transitions on a hard point sling, it’s only going to be easier with more options using QD or clips or single points, and I have all of those setups available.
I practice with all of them but I do try to train down to the lowest denominator on my gear so that I can run efficiently even with my least efficient gear. |

It's just a sling.
It doesn't really matter how it's attached as long as it holds your rifle and doesn't cause a problem. |

I’ve hunted with my rifle more than I’ve cleared houses with known threats in them. I’m more than likely going to hunt 1,000 more times before I go into a hot zone. Humping all over the woods with a rifle and a pack is much easier with a sling.
If bad guys wanna play night time fun time in my house I won’t be hindered by a sling at all. This is kind of a silly question. Maybe ask what slings we’re using or where/ how we’re mounting them vs sling/ no sling. All fighting rifles get slings and all pistols get holsters. |
