V-TAC Sling MK2
There are a wide ranging opinions on what sling works best, and I'd like to share some of my experiences with slings.

I went from a three-point, which was a nightmare if you had to switch from your dominate hand to support hand to shoot, then to a one point because of those problems. But after running with a one point on my AR15, even at the range, which one is pretty much static, the weapon retention was lacking horribly. I found my muzzle would swing around during weapon transitions, or if I had to perform simple tasks. Its nearly impossible to put your hands on a subject, climb a ladder, rope, or do something without one hand keeping the muzzle still. To remedy the problem I went with a Blackhawk's CQD Mark II Weapons Catch, which did the job, but I found it way to slow to secure the weapon for a weapons transitions or to perform other tasks. After getting fed up with it, I finnally went and got the V-Tac MK2 sling directly from Kyle E. Lamb.

This is by far the best sling I've used ever. The design is simple, tried, true, and tested in combat. It utilizes a two point sling setup, which is designed for muzzle down carrying. One can adjust the length of the sling in seconds, allowing the user to quickly perform tasks, this is accomplished through the use of a free running tail or the quick release lanyard.

Here are a few videos of the V-Tac as presented by Mr. Lamb himself:

I originally posted this on one of our local forums, but didn't generate any discussion. I am curious as to what other geardos and experienced airsofters are running for their weapon slings. Why they contend theirs is better, and share some experiences.
