TACTICAL SLINGS Reviews & Ratings

OUTDOOR CONNECTION TACTICAL SLING

Durable tactical slings provide a wide variety of comfortable carry options while ensuring rapid, smooth transitions to a shooting stance. These slings are manufactured from durable, mil-spec materials, featuring close-weave nylon webbing, heavy-duty 800-lb. tensile strength elastic, double stitching and shockproof polymer hardware that won’t rattle or rust. Quick-release buckles can be disengaged with one hand, and tri-glide slip locks let the operator adjust overall length quickly for rapid shifts from strong side to support side and back. A-Tac – Single-point sling fits any weapon that accepts an HK-type snap hook. Provides maximum range of weapon movement for fast transition from many carry positions, including over either shoulder, across the back, under the opposing arm, and around the neck. Three-point polymer buckle allows selective release of the left side of the strap, the right side, or both simultaneously to free the weapon from the sling. Basic two-point sling of straight 1¼" wide nylon webbing attaches easily to USGI sling swivel. Loops through rear swivel, secures at front with two steel screw closures.

SPECS: Mil-spec nylon webbing, polymer hardware, black.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Comfort

60%

Many reviewers highlight the comfort provided by the elastic design and wide webbing of the sling, noting it effectively distributes weight across the shoulder. This aspect is particularly appreciated by users who aren't wearing body armor or tactical vests, making it a favorable choice for extended use.

Sizing Issues

50%

A significant number of customers mention concerns regarding the shoulder strap being too short, making it difficult for individuals with larger body types to use effectively. This issue significantly impacts the usability for many potential users, leading to dissatisfaction and possible returns.

Buckle Reliability

40%

Several reviews point to problems with the buckle, describing failures when lateral pressure is applied. This has raised safety concerns for users, as the risk of the firearm dropping is a critical issue that can diminish trust in the product's design.

Elastic Stability

30%

Reviewers express mixed feelings about the elastic's stretchiness. Some note that while the elasticity contributes to comfort, it can lead to instability, risking the positioning of the firearm during movement. This balance between comfort and stability remains a key discussion point.

Value for Money

Very nice for the money.

I like the 3way diconnect.It is metal at the gun and plastic at the intersection and has a high weight capacity.Its a low cost piece but you wouldnt know it.The elastic is strong.It may not be a "high end" sling but I found it worth every penny.

Great single point sling!

This sling is awesome! Very comfortable to wear with my Mossberg 590. Going to order another for my AR soon.

I would buy this sling again.

Awsome sling! Don'y know why the one reviewer's sling is so "springy," but mine works just fine. Holds my 870 just fine and I have no fear the muzzle will end up in the dirt as he said.

Best so far.

I have several brands of tactical slings. I like this the best. I really like the wide elastic band. I is alot more comfortabler if youy are not wearing a vest.

A-Tac Single-Point Sling by OUTDOOR CONN

My second one of these slings. If I had to say something critical I would like the "connection dingus" to be shorter. I don't wear body armor so the extra length is not needed. when using a single point I like to have some tension applied to the rifle to firm up the shoulder weld. With the elastic design this would be possible if the "dingus" was shorter. Maybe an inch or two.

80% of the population Shouldnt use it.

The loop that goes across your shoulder is approximately 10 inches too short, only the smallest and thinnest people will be able to use it properly. With some of the extension straps that are used to attach to some firearms it might become more usable. It is adjustable to make it smaller but that will be of no use to most of the population. If I had bought it for a firearm or anything with significant weight I would have returned it.

Poor execution

I'm guessing that this sling was meant for comfort more than stability. The elastic has almost too much give (stretchiness). While it's not going to snap, your muzzle may end up in the dirt if you have to let it hang while moving. The extra-wide webbing does do a great job of distributing the load but it grabs your shirt or jacket causing the fabric to bunch up as you move or deploy. This probably didn't see much T&E prior to being marketed. At least it was cheap.

Inferior 3-Point Buckle

Me being thick bodied, 3-point buckle unsnaps and unhooks with the slightest sideways pressure 20-secs. after hooking up, potentially dropping barrel to ground or rocks! Guessing a polymer designed buckle fail, when a triangle slotted attachment and single buckle catch would have been sufficient. Upon inspection noticed that lateral pressure of either side buckles causes dismount from the catch. Will be returning. Back to square one.
