    Personally, I've been a user of padded and unpadded versions of the metal hardware VCAS, of which I own 3. I own 2 plastic hardware versions and do not like them.I am intrigued by the Slingster, but I don't want to scratch my guns up with it. I like the SOB B Sling as well, but don't want the tail. As such, I feel the perfect balance is still the VCAS w/metal.

    I use VCAS slings. Padded and unpadded. Metal hardware and plastic. Including one of what is now sold as the Standard Issue Vickers Sling, back when it was the only way they made the sling. Apart from precision rifles and historically configured weapons (like my Garand, FAL, not-an-XM16E1), I see no reason to buy anything else for a general purpose fighting longarm.

    I've been using the VCAS padded sling with both metal and plastic hardware on multiple rifles, both AR and bolt, for a while now and haven't found anything I like more. I absolutely don't like the tail on the VTAC sling. I just looked at the Slingster and am a bit intrigued.

    VCAS padded Here.


    I’ve played with the VTAC, Haley, Magpul, Fire force. All were meh and prone to twisting and getting jammed up in the hardware.

    The one thing I’d like to see the VCAS do is add a tubular padded section so it can move and roll with movement.

    How padded/rigid of a tubular section do you want? That could probably be added as an aftermarket addition with a bit of tinkering...

    I’d say take the existing padded section exactly how it is and just make it round?
