AR15 sling suggestions

[BlackWatch]

I've ordered my second AR and would like to get a sling. I'm leaning towards the UDC Padded Bungee Single Point Sling by blue force gear.
Does anyone have this? Any better slings? And will I need an adapter to mount it if so which one?
Thanks

edit - any suggestions for a light for the AR would be great, nothing too expensive

Got the VTAC (plastic buckles one). Done multiple field exercise, one deployment. It's been wet, muddy and stayed too long at the sun. Almost looks A1. It's a 2 points tho.

yet the BFG vcas sling with tri glide, it will be the last sling you ever buy.
for a light inforce wlm

Go with the VCAS instead of UDC

Unless your AR is a PDW (7 1/2 inch barrel) get a 2 point sling, single point slings are a PITA with any rifle length barrel. Unless you're 6'4", I've seen tall guys get away with 10 1/2 inch barrels on single points. The Vickers is the way to go.

+1 on the padded VCAS with tri-glide or Magpul hardware if you want to go from 2 points to 1 point

I may be in the minority, but I actually like my magpul MS4 more than my VCAS sling. Easy to switch between 1 and 2 point use if you have QD points.

we do until we need to kneel down and put someone in zap straps. 2 point slings are my fav, you turn it onto your back when needing to do work with two hands. and swing it back when done.

Who would have a black padded VCAS with tri-glide in stock in Canada? What else would I need for mounting? I haven't received the rifle yet. Putting the new 15.7 Colt IUR together with a SA 20 if that helps.

One Shot Tactical is the place. The IUR has a QD attachment on the handguard so you are going to want a QD attachment to go with your sling. For the rear attachment, it depends on what type of stock or sling plate you are going with.

ive got the padded VCAS sling on all my rifles. I just find it works the best.

+1 for VCAS.

I don't use the padded though, I find its bulky and limits your length of adjustment.
