AR15 pistol sling

FreezerFreezer Posts: 2,753 Senior Member
I'm not an AR Aficionado and own an AR pistol just because I can. I have no intention of registering it with the ATF, so I'll remove the brace. My shoulders are worn out, and I won't be able to shoot this thing without some forward or rearward resistance. I want to install a sling, but have no experience with them. What do you prefer, single or double point, with or without elastic, and which manufacturer?
I like Elmer Keith; I married his daughter :wink:

    I’ve tried single point slings many times. Can’t warm up to them. 
    I’m a two point sling kinda guy and prefer a V-Tac Sling. Though, many companies now make a similar sling.

    Double point, NO elastic.  Google Vickers sling.

    It’s a °IIIII° thing 😎

    I have never had a use for a single point sling...until I built an AR pistol...The pistol is short enough to negate all the problems associated with single points on a long gun

    A single point only stabilizes the back. A two point can stabilize both ends.
