I've tried a bunch from 3 point slings to one pointers, and keep coming back to the ol reliable V-Tac MkI (unpadded)

All the benefits of a two point sling for stability, keeps your weapon attached stable and rapidly deployable like a 3 point sling, and stays out of the way like a 1 point sling. Unlike these though it is 1. EASILY adjustable (unlike classic 2 point), 2. Doesn't snag on gear or armor, etc (unlike classic 3 point), 3. Holds snug to your body when you need to use both hands (unlike classic 1 point sling). Only hang up I've found is that you really have to work on transitioning to weak side. It's doable though. Aside from that, best sling you'll ever own. I won't be changing again.
