The Blue Force Gear Vickers 221 sling transforms rifle carry and shooting positions with its innovative one-to-two point convertible design. This Cordura-constructed sling eliminates the compromise between comfortable carry and stable shooting support that plagues traditional single-configuration slings.
What Makes This Different
The patented quick-adjust system allows instant conversion from single-point to two-point configuration without removing the sling from the rifle. While standard slings force users to choose between mobility and stability, the Vickers 221 adapts to mission requirements in seconds. The proprietary pull-tab mechanism provides silent length adjustment under stress, eliminating the noise and fumbling associated with traditional buckle systems.
Key Features
- Convertible one-point to two-point configuration with patented quick-release system
- Silent pull-tab length adjustment from 54 to 64 inches overall length
- 1000-denier Cordura webbing construction resists abrasion and UV degradation
- Universal attachment points compatible with standard QD sockets and HK-style hooks
- Padded shoulder section distributes weight across 3.5 inches of contact area
- Coyote Brown finish matches military and law enforcement color standards
- Minimal bulk design prevents snagging on gear or vegetation
Field testing demonstrates the sling's effectiveness across multiple shooting disciplines. Competition shooters benefit from the rapid transition capability during multi-position stages, while tactical applications leverage the secure retention during room clearing and the stable platform for precision shots. The weather-resistant Cordura construction maintains flexibility in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F without stiffening or degradation.
