I had one of these sitting in my gear bag for about a year. It honestly didn't look nearly as refined as some of my other slings, but tonight I wanted to slap something on my M4 SBS, and this was handy. All I can say is this is the most unassuming thing I've ever used. Absolutely a favorite, now! For all the reasons you mentioned (I looked this video up AFTER using it).
I’ve found a useful way to store my gun with a sling on it. I take excess from the stock end, wrap it around the pistol grip, then back to the stock. And then tighten it. (If that makes sense) That’s how I run my Blue Force Gear. This thing is sweet for the price and weight.
Thanks, I've been wondering about these slings since I saw Ronin mention them in a video a couple days ago. Also, I just realized I haven't listened to The Offspring in like 7 years! Time for the ol' Smas-Ixnay-Americana tour!
Now I have one of these on the way for my Sugar Weasel that I bought because of you and a Trijicon TA44 because of you and a Q Trash Panda because of you and soon I will be ordering a Cole-Tac suppressor cover because of you...I hope you get paid commission on all these sales 😀....As always great stuff Ivan. Maybe a Mini Fix in my future 🤔
Dude I love that sling. I think I'm currently running vickers or vtac I on my ar build. I have a magpul sling I got for my scorpion because of the quick detach mounts and it doesn't fit the magpul male part is too long for my cz's holes if that makes sense.
I’m a fan it’s certainly cool and s great design. But I do like the proctor sling being a little simpler. Do want to know how the bottle rocket goes. If it actually works as a good muzzle brake or the fact it’s non directional ruin it? ie blasting up dirt and debris because it can’t be timed and the ports aren’t only coming it the sides.
Not a bad price either. I really like my Blue Force Gear sling. However, if I end up with a super lightweight setup like your badger I will be picking one of these up. The two selling point for me was the weight savings of 550 cord and how smoothly the adjustment works. My BFG sling is awesome and I love it but I can tell you it isn’t as smooth as this one on the adjustment. P.S. Great choice of music as always.
I went and got this sling for my HB Pistol. I wanted to set it up like yours. The thing is the sling I have has nothing on the ends. I also didnt get any of that cord. Did I buy the wrong one? Would you know how its labeled?
In the same boat, also trying to figure this out I know the cord or qd attachment has to be purchased by us separately. However, I was expecting my sling to come with the sown ends everyone talks about and this was not the case. Can anyone shed some light?
Great video. Any chance for a review on the Bottle Rocket? Can’t find hardly anything about it on RUclips other than ‘this exists’. Or, if not worth a video, can you reply on how you like it? Thanks again for your videos and keep the good stuff coming.
Ivan, how's it going? I really wish you would include the price for those who are watching your videos as well as if there are any coupon codes that you can offer your followers... Thanks for the review. Did you find that the webbing was cutting into your skin as there was no pad and the webbing looks rather narrow?
Sorry about that Kris, I forgot to put that in there. There is always a link in the description though. As to comfort, it is fine. I wouldn't want to patrol with a 240 slung for 8 hours... But for a carbine, it is great. He is working on a pad that can be added and removed as well.
I've been trying to figure out how to get mine to sit as tight as yours does when it's in the stowed position, but there doesn't seem to be any way to really take the slack out. It just hangs off the side of the rifle. Gotta be doing something wrong.
Great review, but the web site does not offer any customization that you pointed out in the video. Only sling I see is one that comes with a tri-guide at one end. Too bad; it looked like a great product with the features that you showed such as sown in stitching with my choice of a QD end point and mid point buckle. I'll pass and take my biz elsewhere.
I placed a Magpul MS4 dual QD sling Gen 2 on my Honeybadger compatible mount near the butt but it failed and I dropped the gun. There is only one position that it can be mounted (horizontal) and if you twisted it and changed the angle, it will be detached. At least that’s what happened to mine. Do you think its a design flaw or something else? This video and your recommendation is full proof and rock solid mounting option. However, I wanted to know your thoughts on the QD mount aside from being a heavier option that what you showed in this vid. Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if I follow. The gun twisted on the QD and it failed? Am I getting that right? With respect to slings, first off, I would probably not choose that sling since it is really heavy for what it is. If you wanted a single point though, check out the one by Lunar Concepts and Wise Men Company.
Kit Badger No. I am looking for a suitable sling mount and I used the Magpul QD sling mount. However, when i used the magpul set up and it dropped . My poor light system was scratched and the red dot shroud too. Anyways, i am trying to see if the Magpul QD is at fault or the female QD attachment point on my Honeybadger is the one that is defective... i say that since on the opposite side it seems stable and solid... the left side QD attachment point is the one that failed. Also, I wanted to check out your recommendation since I have been for a long time. It was you that made me buy the Q pistol. Thanks.
@@balintawak29 Try putting it in there and pulling it out. I'd imagine the Magpul QD is out of spec. Not much can go wrong with a QD socket itself. Or if the way you ran it there was pressure put on the release. Let me know.
Kit Badger that’s what I thought at first but the left side, I can easily pull it off w/o depressing the button but on the right side, it is rock steady. Unfortunately I am right handed so it has to be the left side that I need. You think that can be facilitated by shooting surplus for replacement. I am happy to send them pics.
@@balintawak29 it sounds like it could be out of spec, not impossible. I'd reach out to Q directly as well with photos. Are the grooves noticeably shallower?
Great vid as always. I’m just curious do you have any feeding issues with that Tango Down mag. I’ve pretty much just stuck with GI mags on my blackout. Seems like the new Magpul blackout mags work ok, but I only have a small sample size of 1. Keep up the good work man!!!
Thanks Jason! I honestly haven't had enough time with the Tango Down mags and 300 Blackout to speak to it. As I get more time with them I'll let you know.
Hey man, just found this review, thank you! Also, are you still digging that Nightforce setup on the 'badger? I am hoping to get mine soon, and would appreciate the feedback.
Hey Todd, thanks for watching. I had to send the NX8 back... It was a T&E loaner. I really liked it though. I guess it depends on how you are going to use your Honey Badger though. For me it let me push it out as far as the gun (I am) capable and really refine my sight picture. Additionally, there is nothing that beats the NX8 for size and weight.
Kit Badger I know it sounds dumb but knowing Q there’s probably a decent amount of engineering that went into it. That and I just like watching top notch Hiney Badger gun porn. I can’t believe there’s comoanies making plain Jane AR lowers and calling them honey badger...
Are those the 20 rounders that you recommend? I ordered 20 surefeed e2 30 rnd mags for mine but would like to get some 20 round mags as well but have heard the surefeed 20 round mags don’t work...
I wouldn’t get the Tango Down for 300blk. I’ve had failures to feed. I’m not sure what 20 rounders work best for 300blk. I don’t think I’ve had any issues with Magpul.
have you tested the Hit sling? Advanced Gunslinger Armament HIT Sling. If not what are your thoughts on this video? ruclips.net/video/XDlfLHZU2lQ/видео.html
No I haven't. I just checked out the video though. First off I don't like the adjustment method with the tail and cam (just personal preference). And the usability is largely attributed to the BFG RED swivel (which is fine). I can see its usefulness in some applications though. I'm curious how well it works as a 2 point with respect to creating shooting positions and also not interfering with the manual of arms (blocking the bolt catch/release). Thanks for sharing man.
I had one of these sitting in my gear bag for about a year.

All I can say is this is the most unassuming thing I've ever used. Absolutely a favorite, now! For all the reasons you mentioned (I looked this video up AFTER using it).
That whole gun setup is freaking A+ in my opinion. Gorgeous design setup, function over form, and wonderful gear.
I’ve found a useful way to store my gun with a sling on it.
I take excess from the stock end, wrap it around the pistol grip, then back to the stock. And then tighten it. (If that makes sense)
That’s how I run my Blue Force Gear.
This thing is sweet for the price and weight.
I think I know what you mean. I'll have to try that with my BFG sling.
Thanks, I've been wondering about these slings since I saw Ronin mention them in a video a couple days ago.
Also, I just realized I haven't listened to The Offspring in like 7 years! Time for the ol' Smas-Ixnay-Americana tour!
Que up the Offspring... :)
Thanks for this review Ivan! I been watching the channel for a while, subscribed and purchased the ESD sling for my Honey Badger today.
Right on man, thanks for watching!
Good review and a really nice product. I like the adjustment loop.
Agreed, I was really impressed with it once I got my hands on it. The entire design is clean, dare I say elegant, and functional. :)
Now I have one of these on the way for my Sugar Weasel that I bought because of you and a Trijicon TA44 because of you and a Q Trash Panda because of you and soon I will be ordering a Cole-Tac suppressor cover because of you...I hope you get paid commission on all these sales 😀....As always great stuff Ivan.

Nice!
Thank you for going into your mounting method, and rationale. Makes sense for my application. Solid info drop as always. 👍🏼
Glad to help man. :)

Totally awesome sling...I have 2 and they are awesome!
Great review! Short simple and just to the point! Thanks
Great video about a great sling!!
Thanks Anna!
Interesting design.. might have to try it out...
I think you'll be pleased if you do.
Awesome!!
I also have honey badger..........clone.😄😄😄awesome review as usual.
Hahaha, there is only one. :)
love ur vids cause i dont feel like you amp yourself up to make it more entertaining. Just seem like yourself.
Just me. :)
Great vid. Question, what shooting glasses are those? look sharp.
Smith Director Elite.
Great vid as usual, Ivan!
Thanks buddy!

Thanks man, I appreciate it! And stay tuned to TFBTV, something will be dropping soon. :)
Do you have a review on that Q muzzle brake?
This is one of those, I love you/hate you moments.
Hahaha! Good. :)
Yes I agree haha.
Great video. Any chance for a review on the Bottle Rocket? Can’t find hardly anything about it on RUclips other than ‘this exists’. Or, if not worth a video, can you reply on how you like it?
Thanks again for your videos and keep the good stuff coming.
I did a first look video on the Bottle Rocket. I'll be putting out a follow up before long.
Kit Badger that would be great. Thanks!
how is the sling attached in the rear??
great review thanks..What kind of gloves are those?
SKD Tactical, should be a link in the description.
Love the sling and nice to see the pistol that caused the ATF to possibly take away all Ar15 pistols because of it..

What magazine is that?
What gloves are you rocking there?
Are there any other slings like this on the market?
With respect to what aspect? Movement, size webbing, attachment?
Great review, but the web site does not offer any customization that you pointed out in the video. Only sling I see is one that comes with a tri-guide at one end. Too bad; it looked like a great product with the features that you showed such as sown in stitching with my choice of a QD end point and mid point buckle. I'll pass and take my biz elsewhere.
I’m buying one stop spending my money Ivan I just spent a ton on adidas track suits and gold chains 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, those are a investment! :)
Anyone know what stock we have here???
where can i get that front cord mount for the sling?? looks cool!
It's just paracord.
Looks like a hybrid of the WOTG sling and Slingster.
Ya, there are a lot of great elements brought together in this design.

They're pretty rad, let me know how it treats you.

Thanks man! They are PIG FTD Delta's: kitbadger.com/pig-fdt-delta-utility-gloves/
Kit Badger thanks, I couldn’t work out what they were until I zoomed in and saw the PIG written on the palms!! 🙄 love your reviews 👍🏻
Hahaha, no worries. Thanks for watching buddy. :)

Thanks Jason! I honestly haven't had enough time with the Tango Down mags and 300 Blackout to speak to it. As I get more time with them I'll let you know.
So how would you compare this to the versatile magpul sling?
Personally I like it better. Lighter, easier / smoother to adjust and, as I mentioned in the video, I really like running it with 550 cord.
Hey man, just found this review, thank you! Also, are you still digging that Nightforce setup on the 'badger? I am hoping to get mine soon, and would appreciate the feedback.

@@KitBadger Right on, thanks, Ivan! I hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey ivan I've got the sugar weasel and iv got the whistle tip on mine. Are there advantages to using the bottle rocket?
Awesome!!!
One of my favorites... :)
what mag is in your honey badger?
Tango Down 20 Rounder. :)
What's up with that break and mag?
It is a Bottle Rocket muzzle brake on the Honey Badger's Cherry Bomb. The magazine is a 20rnd TangoDown mag.
What is on the end of that HB?
It is their Bottle Rocket muzzle brake. Its loud. :)
I would like to see a review on it.
I'll try and get one out before too long. Thanks for watching.
Hey kit.. would you recommend this sling or the Frank proctor "way of the of the gun" sling?
Edgar Sherman Design Sling.
I’ll have that Isuzu Trooper please.
It’s a cool ride. :)
This sling or the contour sling from Lunar Concepts?
Do you want padding or not?
@@KitBadger Purchased the ESD the other day!
@@wanderfwd nice, great slings.
👍
Thanks for watching Casey!
Cool
I want to learn more about the q bottle rocket
I know. :)

I’d drown before letting my honey badger sink to the bottom of a river or ocean haha. What kind of 20 round mag is that?
Tango Down.
Are those the 20 rounders that you recommend? I ordered 20 surefeed e2 30 rnd mags for mine but would like to get some 20 round mags as well but have heard the surefeed 20 round mags don’t work...

Offspring + honey badger awesomeness + what appears to be the NX8? Fan-fuckin-tastic
It is the Trifecta...
Dare I say its... AMERICANA at it's finest?
I like your style.
Double up that 550 cord
I have some, it depends on how long it is going to stay on the gun.
I got the knockoff by Ed Sheeran design. Guess what color?
Hawaiian print?
Bro u literally have the CAMERA strap not the RIFLE sling lol. But good review.
What nightforce scope is that?
What kinda magazine is that?
