I repeated the drills in single point configuration with the Vickers 221 sling on the full size PWS MK1 MOD 2. On transition drills from pistol to rifle, when the slings were in the tightened position (where they should be when you are shooting), they helped the rifle stay out of the way. The adjustment tab came in extra handy in stabilization when shooting from an odd position, especially through the narrow and horizontal slits of the barricade. To test adjustability, I ran a V-Tac barricade drill, constantly switching to support side as well as shooting from odd positions.Īll three slings were very easy to adjust, tighten and switch from dominant to support side. The Combat Application Sling unpadded and padded are 54” with the Adjuster tightened / 64” fully extended and 57” with the Adjuster tightened / 67” fully extended, respectively. The only feature missing: a loop design tab to make it easier to hook and adjust the sling with a thumb. The pull tab was easy to adjust and moved smoothly. I could see it being very useful in longer applications.Īll three slings are 1.25 inches wide and made from “Invista solution dyed CORDURA® webbing.” All three feature the “Patented Quick Adjuster with Contrasting Pull Tab.”
After several hours of shooting and carrying the rifle around the range, the extra shoulder cushion was much appreciated. Initially, I didn’t feel the difference between the padded and unpadded slings. The black version of the Vickers Combat Application sling has a 2″ wide shoulder pad made from tubular webbing with closed cell foam padding.
(You can easily attach QD mounts to the ends of the sling for rifles that contain QD sockets.) On the back end, I had to remove the triglide, pull the strap through and then thread it back through the triglide. To attach the sling, I removed the strap from its adjustment triglide, strung it through the mount and and looped it back through the loop. To mount the Vickers Combat Application slings I pulled-out my old school 14.5″ pinned AR15 with its stock metal mounting loops on the butt stock and front sight post. It prevents entanglement and puts the rifle in an advantageous position for quick and efficient transition to pistol work or hands-on close-quarters combat. I prefer to attach my sling to the rifle’s buttstock and hand guard. To convert the 221, you simply attach the front QD mount to the sling’s rear mounted socket. Some people like to attach their sling to their rifle’s lower receiver or in a single point configuration (a good idea for sub-guns).
