Slings?

[titsonritz]

I find this to be a decent option for shotguns. However, all of my scatter guns are pumps so a single point just makes sense. What’s everyone else doing with their 870s and 590s?

I have a VCAS on my 870

I much prefer the Thortail. Very minimalist, lightweight, not a bunch of buckles and tails hanging off.

I have been through the gamut of regular, jungle, single point, three point, etc. since the 1980s.

Since About 15 years ago, a rapidly adjustable two point has pretty much proven to be the way to go. Some argue no quick release, vs one QR, vs 2 QR.

I have a variety of VTaC and VCAS.

Just an FYI - the slingster will scratch the shit out of your gun/ optic. The slider is metal and has some pretty gnarly exposed edges. I know, I know guns are tools, yada yada. I appreciate the wear marks on a seasoned firearm, but I also take care not to unnecessarily gouge them.

This was after 5 minutes of adjusting the length, checking function etc.

Grove-tech QD sockets screwed and glued into the stock, I use a nordic component clamp on the front end - https://nordiccomp.com/categories/st...nny-rail-12ga/ a standard remington clamp, or these - https://www.gggaz.com/remington-870-...mbo-mount.html

I've tried the stock/receiver junction rear sling mounts and didn't care for them. I see limited utility in single point slings.

I haven't tried a lot of slings like some other guys. However, I've recently switched to Ferro Concepts Slingster and can recommend it. Functionally, it's very ergonomic, comfortable and easy to use. I like the padding because it's very minimalistic, yet makes a noticeable difference unlike some other slings which either don't have any padding or have an extra thick/heavy one. Another benefit is that you can move the padding on the sling for a custom fit - it's not sawn in like pretty much all other padded slings.
Not sure if you like it or not, but the webbing is fairly light and thin vs other slings. That can be a good or a bad thing depending on your intended use. I like it because keeps the weight down and slightly easier to adjust the sling vs thick webbing.

There are a couple of videos on youtube regarding it and they are pretty accurate if that helps.

Yep. The Slingster from Ferro Concepts is my go-to now. Some of my rigs still wear a Vickers Blue Force Gear but I only buy the Slingster for any new rifles. Slick and easy.

I currently have VTAC, VCAS, and Magpul. All have pros and cons. I like that the VTAC cinches tighter to my body, but don't like the long tail. I like that the VCAS and Magpul are clean with no tail, but they don't have enough adjustment range. I like the Magpul material better than the VCAS for the same reasons already mentioned. I wish I could find one that was clean with no tail, a comfortable material, and with a wide range of (quick) adjustment.

Been using the Ares Arnor Amentum two point forever now.

If I have to buy new, I might try the Slingster.

I have experience with the padded VCAS, padded and unpadded VTAC, and padded Magpul MS1. (And about 10 minutes with the Slingster, until I noticed the slider was scratching everything it touched)

The ESD (Edgar Sherman Design) sling is now my personal favorite. The only (possible) con for some folks will be that it doesn't come in a padded version.
