What slings are you guys using on your Mossberg 500 or 590 shotguns? Feel free to post pics and info (price & availability/stock mounts or aftermarket) on what sling setup you are using. I'm looking for a sling setup for my Mossbergs. Here's a few images I found online:

On my 20" 590 ,just a simple 2 point with QD sling swivels , I think it's a Uncle Mikes.

On my 18.5 I have a Magpul MS1 multi mission sling with the MS3 QD adapter at the rear and one of their paraclips for the front which hooks in to a GG&G loop sling plate under the mag tube cap.

works well for single point or two point ,but run mostly two point.

I wasn't a fan of the SGA stock until I tried a friends , then it was WOW.

 
BFG padded VCAS. I got sick and tired of a traditional 2 point/low ready carry position with the front of the sling mounted so far forward. The extra length required let the shotgun ride loosely and flop around almost as bad as a single point. One hand on the gun was needed at all times except when standing still. I added a single point plate behind the receiver for the front of the sling and kept my Specter Gear buttstock adapter for the rear mount. It worked better than I had expected. The shotgun sits tight to my body and can't flail around but still has plenty of slack to shoulder it. I have no pics of it yet, I'll try to get some this weekend.
 
I've settled on a simple 2-point sling for most of my Long-guns.....Browning Xcelerator.
For about $25 it includes the sling swivels which mount/lock into the Mossberg sling "nipples". The sling has a slider that quickly adjusts the length as needed. I used a Sharpie to black out the Logo.
The sling is sold in different lengths depending on the length of your Long-gun.
Here's a pic on my 590A1 BlackWater and the JIC2.
fyi...slings that holds shells look "kool" but start to swing when loaded up....not good for getting on target quickly. See 3rd pic (mounted on 18.5" 590A1)
I also tried the Vicker's VCS but didn't like it too much....see 4th pic(borrowed from my AR)

What if I have a wood stock? I'm assuming there is a kit to screw a sling mount into your buttstock? I have 2 PGO 18.5" 500's, 20" 500 & 18.5" 590A1. Would like to buy 1 short sling and 1 full size just to see if I like them.
 
"What if I have a wood stock? I'm assuming there is a kit to screw a sling mount into your buttstock?"

If you go with the magazine cap, with stud, the Uncle Mike's kit includes a stud for your wood butt stock.
If you go with the clamp, it doesn't include a butt stock stud. I'm suspect that your local gunsmith, as well as lots of CGNers, have a spare one kicking around.

There is a large weight difference between the 500 and the 590A1 as well. I don't carry my shotguns around much either, but one day I might need to.

Yeah for sure. I just added more weight to mine too with the bayonet I attached yesterday lol
