    For single points I like the GEAR Sector ASP sling and the Magpul MS2. I'm patiently awaiting the MS3. The P.I.G. single point looks promising, I would love to try one of these.
    I recently saw the PIG sling offerings. It looked like it may be a contender and appeared to a novice like myself that it was almost like the Vickers padded 2 point sling with different ends. FWIW, the PIG vest/rig looked good to but I would have liked to see it fit soft armor also such as the Diamond Back UTOC or Mayflower. (Thats a different thread that I am sure will appear when they start shipping.) Sorry for the derail.

    Anyways, I think your just the man to T/E one of the PIG slings and compare it to the BFG's/VTAC/VCAS slings.

    Thanks, KC

    I agree I run a BFG UDC single point on my SBR and then BFG VCAS 2 pt on my longer rifles.

    I think I am sold on the BFG 2 point padded sling. Not sure what model as I think there are at least two padded ones they offer. What is the best hardware to use to attach it to my Troy extreme 13' rail and at the end plate? Its going on my duty rifle thats on order M&P15 TS. Thanks...

    DISREGARD... I found some hardware I like on the VTAC website. Really like the LUSA hook or swivel attachment. Nice instructional video too.

    I did at one time as a LEO door kicker.Heck I still have a hard time breaking the habit of putting rubber bands on my keys.Needless to say I dont like being Col. Clink even if the animals dont shoot back.Noise discipline is important I think.

    As far as the MS2 and ASAP,duct tape did the job,but also did away with the QR system.I think if they used an elastic band/cover of some sort similar to what Eagle Ind. uses on their HK kooks,that would still allow the QR tether to function,anything would help though.I actually had considered dipping the metal attachments in plasticoat just to see if that helped in the short term.
    But I liked the Vickers two point so well I just ran with it and sold the MS2 setup.
