The Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling delivers rapid transition capability between shooting positions while maintaining weapon security during movement. This collaboration between Blue Force Gear and tactical instructor Larry Vickers produces a two-point sling optimized for carbine and rifle platforms.
What Makes This Different
The Vickers sling incorporates a proprietary quick-adjust system that allows length modification without removing the weapon from the shoulder. Unlike traditional two-point slings that require complex hardware or multiple adjustment points, this design uses a single pull-tab mechanism for instant length changes. The system maintains consistent tension and eliminates the slack that causes weapon bounce during transitions.
Key Features
- Quick-adjust pull-tab system for instant length modification without weapon removal
- 1000-denier Cordura construction with reinforced stress points for extended durability
- Low-profile design reduces snag hazards on gear and vegetation
- Universal attachment hardware compatible with standard sling swivel studs and QD mounts
- Adjustable length range from 32 to 52 inches accommodates various body sizes
- Webbing width of 1.25 inches distributes weight evenly across the shoulder
- Silent operation with no metal-on-metal contact during adjustment
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F without hardware failure or webbing degradation. The sling maintains weapon control during rapid movement, vehicle operations, and room clearing scenarios. Competition shooters report smooth transitions between barricade positions, while law enforcement users note reduced fatigue during extended carry periods.
