Isn't the issue web sling more of carrying strap, than a shooting aid? I have the M1907 leather sling on my M1 and '03, and a M16 sling on my shotgun, and the latter appears to be merely for "slinging" over the shoulder, rather than properly slinging for shooting.
I think the M1907 sling is still "the" sling for shooting.
