Despite the 4 stars I do like this sling. It is wide and thick so feels better and wears comfortably longer than lesser sling. It’s not quite like wearing a padded sling but I have found the downfall of padded sling they have a reduced sweet spot for wear since the padding can’t be very big and still retain adjustability. He material is thick and sewn well. Except for the one slide keeper between he 2-1 adapter and the slider, all the hardware is steel and (over) built like a tank.
Why 4 stars instead of 5? While I do recommend and like this sling, these are a few things to keep in mind. The material plus this hardware makes the sling noticeably heavy. It is not like a brick but if you compare it to competitors similar models it is heavy. But again, the hardware is much more stout than the competitors’ models I have used or currently own. I do not really use 1-point slings so the good news is you can remove the conversion plate tail section and use it with a QD button as a standard 2-point or loop it on traditional carbine stock loops. The slider is also not as quick as I would like. It is great when letting out slack/loosening a slung rifle, but a little bit slower and as of now requires making the sling taut to take out slack/tighten the sling to your body. To be fair, other quick adjust slings also need this but the effort required on this sling is noticeably; perhaps due to the thickness of the material, contours of the slide or both. It does seem to be breaking in as I use it so it might just need use to smooth out.
I do recommend the sling.
