What type of sling for an AR-15 PDW?

I have an 8" Noveske 300 BLK rifle…I was thinking about going with a single point sling.

Is this a bad idea? I’d love to hear some opinions on what sort of sling to use with such a short AR.

My other thought was the Vickers two-point sling from BFG.

Thanks in advance.

What do you do, how will you use this rifle?

A single point sling would seem ideal for a PDW that size. The weapon’s configuration and your intended use will dictate the best solution.

dead honest, I probably have very little use for a sling other than to maybe look cool. I don’t work in law enforcement or anything…the gun was purchased to #1, look cool…#2 maybe play some sort of role in a bizzaro home defense, SHTF scenario.

realistically, with the ranges I go to, it wouldn’t make sense to be slinging the rifle on my body, and other than in my head, I can’t see a real reason to really ever be walking around with the gun…

if I’m playing pretend SHTF scenario (forgive me)…let’s say I’m strapping it on to take the trash out, or taking a 30-minute drive to my parents house…concealing it under a coat or something…as such, let’s pretend that’s what I’m using it for…walking around or sitting in the car, covered with a big jacket. (sorry to mall-ninja up the forums, btw)

A rifle sling is kinda like a pistol holster, in that it lets you have the rifle on your person without needing to hold it in your hands. If this is a range toy, spend the $30-50 on ammo.

lets say in the .0001% chance the piece needs to be more than a range toy, is a single point acceptable for a PDW?..doing just a bit of walking.

I ask because, believe it or not, I only own two guns…a handgun and this Noveske 8" SBR.

I figure I’ll pick up a sling for it…and didn’t know if I should go with the Vickers sling, as lately, I am leaning 1-point.

Again, sorry for the mall-ninja nature of this thread…I’m cringing as I type :slight_smile:

Single point slings and longer barrels (14.5-16") are nut busters, but might be fine with a 8" SBR…and at .0001%, I say keep it simple (and cheap) and go single point.

thank you!

For Me I use an MS2 by Magpul. It’s a single point or a two point and its easy to move from gun to gun. Infact you dont even have to take it off to move from one gun to the next. yeah they are $50 bucks…but you can find Airsoft copys for under $20 and they look pritty good. Hope that helps!

What about a VCAS with a push button tri-glide? 2 to 1-point whenever you want. Best of both worlds.

While this thread has been closed I just wanted to address this right quick. Please refrain from suggesting that someone use an “airsoft copy” for anything other than playing fucking airsoft. If is shoots real bullets keep fake shit off your rifles. Period.
