I like how this guy gets to the point. So many gun-guy vids drone on.
Matthew Richardson DRONES?
It's because they want to get revenue so they drag on and on and on
I agree, they like to pontificate. Music sucks to.
@@ffnovice7 DRONES would be third person singular.
Honestly, this video only could have been like a minute or two long, but he drones it on... it's probably because he's trying to get that ad revenue..
That was deep, "The lessons we learn, are on the tombstones of others."
Ohhhh yeah
"Holster for a rifle"
That was actually well said.
Also thank you for pointing out that slings can definitely help with stability.
Speaking as a retired cop with over 30 years on the job, I consider your videos to be the best, bar none. No bullshit, to the point, and information that everyone can understand and, even more importantly, learn from. Thank you brother! Keep them coming, and stay safe!
I like this guy a lot. He doesn't waffle or fuck around. Just makes clear points and backs them up with reasoning. Wish there were more RUclipsrs like this.
I like this guy. He seems happy!
Reid, don't worry about people liking you; people will. Just be yourself.
Oderus Urungus I just felt like he was trying to hard to make people like him when he doesn't need to try at all.
Oderus Urungus I'm glad that he broke away, ever since Reid got on board at Tac Response I liked him. Much more laid back and easy going, not an arrogant douche
+Logic Bob I think Reid is a very refreshing to watch. Great guy who actually cares about our Country. Semper Fi Brother!
I concur!
I like Reid
I appreciate that the presentation was straightforward and succinct. Not being subjected to generic metal music is also a huge bonus. Thanks!
Rifle holster is a GREAT description for a sling... Thanks for the vid Reid!
There's an actual rifle holster that exists. Just slide your mag into it with your rifle. Goes on your hip and belt, just pull your rifle out lol
Love your humorous and down to earth personality! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
I like taking advice from Reid so much more than James Yeager. Good job with the channel man!
I always thought slinging my AR was such a simple process, go to bass pro and grab one, done. Now that I'm actually ready to sling it I'm realizing how different it can be from a traditional hunting rifle. 1point,2point,3point? Quick detach? A lot more to it then I thought. I appreciate you taking the time to explain to uninformed needy individuals like myself.
Good information and you never talk down to your viewers. Thanks and God Bless.
You articulation and demeanor are tremendous. When I get the money, I am coming to you for training.
Really good informational vid on slings. BTW, the most important thing you said was "bad guys will always try and grab your gun". I learned this the hard way after 20 years in LE.
Reid, I find myself revisiting several of your older videos especially concerning AK rifles.
I appreciate your willingness to list the pros/cons of different configurations such as in this video. I know your a very busy man and it would be easy to just state your preference and tell people that's the right way and be done with it.
Thank you for all your content!
Outstanding CONTENT Reid !!!
Semper Fidelis
Reid! After getting kicked off Yeager's channel for asking what make his watch was, I am happy to see you have branched out. I'm 25, reading Herodotus, and training in the martial way. I think you are a great guy to look up to.
Long live the republic my friend
Asides from your helpful information, I love your enthusiasm and humor. Thanks for the video!
can you make a video on AK light mount options? There are not a lot of good videos on youtube about this
"I can tell ya' from hundreds of miles walked with a rifle and a pack - that's why my feet look ....well....not human *laughs*" This was hilarious. Good points, and great video.
2 point for me, tried single and hated it. too many times getting whacked in the nuts with a rifle barrel while trying to do something else
We called the single point the "nut buster"... with good reason!
Im over 65 so my nuts are down by my angles..no worry for me lol!!
Gotta get a combat cup haha
Went with a 2 to 1, the options are limitless. Progress baby.
Probably want to take that rifle off BEFORE you bend her over. LOL
Thanks for your thoughts, Reid! I much appreciate your direct and down to earth transfer of knowledge.
I love everything that you're doing, great content, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us.
Man, you can delve into the past and all Reid's videos remain relevant. Mark of a true TEACHER!
I see a lot of comments about deciding to choose a single point. I think a good summary of what he just said is...
If ur operating in a confined patrol area like a camp or ur House/yard, a 1 point is a good option as u can drop and grab ur weapon readily as u need. But if ur humping some distance, trust me, change ur 1-2 point to the 2 point and enjoy your walk.
Reid, i'm really diggin this channel! Keep em coming and keep up the good work!
Its like poem. The way you talk, is like in theater and you are the artist on stage. Bravooo
This was a fantastic video Reid. I learned a ton and now I have some considerations to make in regards to my home defense setup. Thanks for the knowledge and all your hardwork.
I never miss a Reid Henrichs video.
Excellent job Sir! Thank you for your service in the past and the present! Cheers
Thanks for the great information sir.
I really like how you give advice without insulting the viewers.
You are an excellent teacher.
That Mak 90 is gorgeous. Another well done informative video. You're the man Reid.
Thank you again Reid!! I've been debating with myself on this issue for a little while! I'm gonna get a 2 point sling for my AR my 12 gauge at home . I love how you promote no brands but only options that are practical and cost effective!!
Thank you Reid, I never been to a civilian combative class (was Infantry in the past. Now 61) but I like your style of teaching better (when you have to pay for it). God Bless you and your business.
I made my own vtac style using qd attachments so I can convert to either 1 or 2 point quickly. Thanks for good vids!
I had considered a 1 point sling, but at 19 and only recently having an AR to bother with this over, I've had no experience with carrying a rifle on a sling. I got into guns as a deer hunter at the age of 8 and I've always carried a rifle simply with my hands. This video has changed my mind and I very much appreciate your input on the subject.
reid, dont know your whole story but you breaking away and doing your own thing takes balls. you seem to be nervous on your vids but you are an EXTREMELY LIKEABLE MAN! you come across as genuine unlike some other gun channels. im subscribed now and look forward to watching you grow.
First-class video on the use of a rifle sling! Thanks for this!
Thanks Reid! I'm going to stay with the two point and get really comfortable with it
Back before they issued or sold the 3 point sling or quick detach stuff, everyone on my unit took 550 and a d-ring (attach d ring to a plate carriers highest hole or shoulder loop) and made our own one points in country. I still do this with all my weapons. Less weight, holds it in your shoulder instead of near your pectorals, and if you need to go weak-side unclip and nothing dangles down. As far as holding the weapon during a patrol, get used to it... if you want to operate it, you gotta carry it. A few months of conditioning will get you in appropriate shape to hold your weapon at the ready for the entire 12 hour patrol, great video
I appreciate the comparisons. You were very objective about each option, which leaves the decision to the shooter. Thanks!
I've really never had a problem patrolling with a single point. I put it to the side & rest my arm on the stock to keep the rifle from bouncing around. Though this is why I like AK rifles. I can have a 2 point attached to it & tucked away. Allowing me to use my one point. If I need to climb I detach the one point, fold my stock & throw over my shoulder with the two point.
Thanks for the advice, and thanks for not assuming we're all pros. Some of us are just regular guys with guns. :)
Another great video Reid, very good remarks on each type of sling. Thank you for the info.
Great info Reid, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Appreciated.
holy crap, thanks for the info. subbing because the way you presented this info was absolutely fantastic.
Good stuff, thanks Yutt
I like your happiness in these videos. Great work!
this guy is extremely happy, thats what i like to see in vids
Learned so much from your videos Reid. Thx.
I love how happy you are.
Yes, the single point can get in the way when you let it hang, but it does that for a reason. It allows quicker and easier access to a sidearm that's on your hip.
Thank you very much for the analysis!
Army Infantry here. 2 deployments for a total of 25 months in Afghanistan from 2007-2010. Everyone in my units who liked 1 point slings in garrison, changed their mind and used 2 point quick adjustable slings while deployed. Great video.
As many have said, a convertible sling is the best of both worlds.
With the single point, a weapons catch solves the problem of the rifle hanging in front. You can put the rifle in the catch to secure it, to go hands on, climb, etc.
Great info, see you on the Ridge!
Thanks Reid. I'm learning a lot from the videos.
As an Infantryman I have tried bungee single point (not durable), regular single point, regular two point, and adjustable two point. As I've noticed with most others I work with the two point adjustable sling is what we gravitate towards. Very versatile, will do everything you need. Quick detach options such as two point to one point, etc.. are nice but just another place for the equipment to break or malfunction. And equipment will malfunction at the worst of times.
Ion infantry also. I use an adjustable 2 point for the same reason
I recently purchased the two point Vickers combat tactical sling, and like it very much. The quick adjust strap feature on it is very useful.
As a former non combat Marine I hated the one point sling but i wanted someone with combat experience to give the pros and cons and Reid did that perfectly... I'm going back to 2 point. Thanks for being to the point and REAL.....Thanks for your service
Thanks, a very good tutorial. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about slings.
Great info I transition between single and two point. I do how find myself in the two point due to weapon stability. Again solid info. Thanks Reid.
I’m 6’-2” and a 2 point works best for me. I really like how this fellow presents his videos. Very factual and well thought out.
Thanks for the review. It helped me decide what sling to get for my new DP-12 Double Barrel Shotgun 😎
I like a single point for defensive use. & a two point for hunting. My Remington 700 barrel bangs on the ground & hits bushes while walking with a single point. Great video reid.! Thanks
Might be strange but.. I use that stock AK 2-point sling as a 1-point. Works pretty well and if I need to you can easily loop one end through the buckle as designed and switch it to a 2-point configuration.
Great video and advice Reid. Really like it
This was really helpful! Thanks!
I dig the videos man, keep em coming!
I like this dude. Glad he's doing his own thing now. Good stuff brother.
Great Vid Reid. Love your style of teaching.
GBRS sling with single point tri glide adapter is amazing. I am also modifying mine and adding a loop so it can be used as the wwII- Vietnam loop sling for accuracy shooting.
Thanks, straight and to the point.
Excellent presentation!
Good job Reid. Thanks for the info, i have decided to go with the two point sling on all of my rifles. You made excellent points on the use of both slings, thanks for your help.....Hooha!!
great points. Im glad the channel is doing well!
Love the vid man. Straight and to the point that a lot of ums and bs people dont care about.
Great video Reid!!
Great video, Reid. Thank you.
Good stuff. You should inform others of the benefits of 3 point slings as well. One of my favorite things about a 3 point is it can act identically as a 2 point. If you don't like a 3 point I'm all ears as to why not. I enjoy your no nonsense logic. Thanks for all the great info and keep it coming.
Thanks for the video Reid. Great solid information.
Awesome video Reid!
Great video Reid,
When I was in the Foreign Legion we used a two point sling, but you could tap the riffle fore grip and it would detach and turn into a single point. It's something you need to see really, not easy to explain how exactly it looked.
It could easily be reattached to change back into a two point. It's just unfortunate that the sling was attached to a Famas lol.
My sling can go either way for just the reason you state Reid. Each method has it's uses. Great vid man.
What's the name on that sling?
@@2wheeleddemon999 It's a Magpul MS3
Thanks for the great insights. Still have yet to really get into shooting, but I use a single point on my airsoft gun (which I obviously use as a training tool). Learned the pros and cons of it in a training environment, sometimes the hard way.
Lots of good info and I want to say that first. Secondly...I was in tears with the Barbara Streisand and "People" line...I did not see that coming. Thanks! RB
You were always my favorite RUclipsr from Tactical Response. Glad to see you doing your own thing now. I hope one of these days i have time and money to come train with you, i used to want to train at yeagers school but now that you have your own im gonna make valor ridge my first....
As always Thank You for the great information and awesome video and plain simple talk .. ....again thank you. . .
Great points. Thanks for the video
I like the two point sling.Great video Reid .
I've carried my rifle in a single point sling in three different ways: front like you showed, put to the side so it's on my hip, or when it's on my back hanging down like it did in the front but reverse. It's definitely possible to sling it in different ways. But you can't really go wrong with having both in your kit for different situations! I liked your perspective for a two point though, I definitely see the benefits and downsides for both.
Another classy video, keep em coming!
as a lefty ak shooter, African carry is the way to go. thanks for showing that tensioning the sling around the arm technique to stabilize the rifle. pretty slick.
Enjoyable presentation. Very likable.
When I served in the airborne infantry we only had slings for parades - otherwise it was 0 point slings for 2 reasons - first to stop the noise of the sling flopping around, and second to break the habit of relying on a sling to secure the weapon. It was hands on at all times.
Personally I prefer single point for my AR, and 2 point for my .308 MBR
I use a 2 point with the attachment points at the front and rear of the receiver. It gives me the retention and carry options of the 2 point with the shoulder-switching capability of the 1 point.
Another great video. thank you.
I got the Magpul MS4 Gen 2 Multi-Mission sling. Expensive but you get two slings in one. With the QD points, it converts on the fly in less than a minute. Top quality material too.
