Does anyone have any experience with the RATS tourniquet sling? I like the idea of having stowage for a TQ but want to maintain the functionality of a good shooting sling.
On a related note is there anything else on the market with a sleeve or pouch to hold a tourniquet?

One of my partners has his CAT rubber banded to his stock on patrol, just rips right off if he needs it. Slings for sling things, real TQs for tourniquet things.

I have the SierraTac RATS TQ sling and it is a very well made piece of kit, as is their standard sling. There is a lot of information out there related to the RATS TQ, some good and some bad. It isn't, in my opinion, as good as the CAT or SOFTT-W, but it does have its place.Originally Posted by Tokarev
As far as carrying a TQ goes, I try to carry them centerline on my plate carrier, as well as on my battle belt and in some pockets. I have run them with rubber bands, dedicated pouches and the excellent Mayflower/Velocity Systems TQ Retainer. Find what works best for you and run it, it isn't really rocket science.

Looking for info primarily for pool guns that are checked out for a shift and then returned to the armory.

Any chance this would work? I have a few on various slings and so far I like it. I use it mostly with SOFT-W and CAT gen 7 TQs but it should work with the RATS if you want to use it.

Yeah. Maybe. Does the thing stay in position on the sling pretty well?

Reach out to SierraTac directly and let them know that you are looking at their slings for your departments patrol rifles. They will send you some samples to evaluate.

Our tax medics don’t recommend that TQ. They say it is to thin and doesn’t cover enough area. Most TQs are around 1.5” thick to spread the press out and gives more room for error.
Member
Don't waste your money. Not only is it too thin to work effectively, but the metal bit has a nasty habit of bending or breaking. Get a real tourniquet with a proven track record.

DO NOT USE A RATS TQ. The TCCC committee has deemed that the RATS is not able to stop bleeding. My buddies that are socm medics refuse to use them. They don't work.
