Im not ex- military or law enforcement although I am a fan of raw information from qualified people to help me make decisions, you guys are great and interesting, thank you guys.
Lived the walk through it brought back memories. I learned about daisy chaining 550 cord to attach to rifle from a SF Sgt when I got to the rivers in Nam as a Mine Force Diver😎 But primary weapon was a knife strapped to a leg, lol. Thanks Again guys.
Would you please do a video on when you two transitioned from the Weaver stance to the Isoceles stance? I am still using the Weaver stance for handguns. Thinking of switching over. Thnx.
Weaver stance exposes your unprotected side if you are wearing plate, isosceles puts the armor facing the threat. There are other reasons but this is the basic one.
Isoseceles allows you to naturally aim without even using your sights because your centerline will aim at whatever you point your torso to. So, when you bring your gun up, it's ready.
I once trained with Larry Vickers several years ago when he first got out of the military at the Burro Canyon range and he made me shoot isoceles without telling me why. I understand what you are saying about a plate, but how often do we wear a vest and plate? I only have a vest because I witnessed two N.D.s. And I've only used it 2x when training.
@@joshgarrett6760 I often heard this from my NCO’s when I was in the Army, but I’m not sure this is actually the reason for the switch. It seems like competitive action shooters dumped the Weaver for the isosceles stance a long time ago because Weaver just isn’t as efficient. I kinda suspect the whole “plates towards the enemy” thing is just a fringe benefit, and not the main driver.
Been using the same Vickers Blue Force Gear 2 point adjustable since 2018. My favorite out of all the slings I've ever used (USMC issued 2 point M1 sling, 2 point A2 sling, Single point open hook, 3 point, single point aftermarket covered hook, single point aftermarket covered hook bungee).
We ran all 2 point in the mid to late 80's in USMC infantry. The sling you showed that made all the noise. I believe it's called a 'parade sling' now, for good reason. Not tactical in today's world. I like the BFG Vickers sling. Both single & double.. Interesting take on mud, debris, etc. getting in the QD mount, hadn't thought about that, but then, haven't been face-down in the mud for awhile, either.. Great vid as always, fellas. Oh yeah, 3 points sucked..
I've tried quite a few slings over the years. . I started using WPS QD SLING and I freaking love it . I love not having any adjustments . I didnt think I would like the Bungy system just I love it . I can do anything I need to do without having to swim out . Vtac and Proctor Sling is what I used for the longest time . Vickers 222 and D3 I used for couple years . I sold all my Slings except for the WPS and Proctor . That's Proctor sling is hard to beat for 29.99 back in the day . Nice video bro.. I freaking Love these NSW Gear videos
I totally agree on the quick detach style slings. Mud, sand and dirt prevents it from attaching. Furthermore, they rust. Those things always need to be well maintained with a good cleaning and oiling. I'm surprised you guys don't mention Magpul hooks. They're strong, quiet, solid, don't move around in the attachment area much providing for a strong base and support for when you need your sling as a weapon support base when firing. I've only had one issue with the attachment getting stuck in 10 years. Hammered and oiled it and it's still good to this day.
Been working slings my whole life, run what works for you and is comfortable to you. Durability and simplicity is key. Great job thanks for your information and experience.
I love these "history of" format videos guys, thanks for the great content. I'm a former MP5 instructor who's exactly Coch's age, and to this day I prefer a three-point like HK's R3 sling even on modern M4s. It can be carried on your front muzzle down almost exactly like a one-point, except way tighter to the body. Thanks to the slider, it can also be rotated (without removing or readjusting) on your front muzzle up, but close to the chest to keep it off your knees. From both of which you can shoulder instantly. And from that muzzle-up position it can be spun around like a rock guitar and carried on your back, muzzle down. Or you can even put a little slack in it and use the two sling halves like straps of a backpack, and carry it SUPER secure on your back, muzzle down. And yes, contrary to common belief you still can shoot week-side with these (although the sling admittedly becomes a bit of a cluster-F doing it -- which is exactly why one-points like Dennis Chalker's were invented back in the day). Oh, and as an aside, I'm sure he knows this but Dorr didn't mention that the main clip point for fixing the sling slider isn't on the sling (that was an afterthought). That's what the clip on the left side of an MP5's mag well is for. Damn thing's been around since '64 and it's amazing how many people still don't know that, LOL.
They also have pretty good qd's, but sometimes they will eventually pop out of other brand qd stocks after some wear on both parts... Coch definitely has a good point about them being a possible failure point, I've had several other brands of QD swivels/sockets that were aluminum and wore out, out of spec and would occasionally pop out with certain brands, some where a ball or spring failed causing it to work loose overtime... Atleast with magpul you can get stocks, receiver plates, and forend mounts built around all the exact same specs... Like many other AR components there is certainly a range of dimensions used by different manufacturers in the QD socket/swivel market apparently... 👍
I started running Magpul MS1s with H&K hooks, it has a "fast buckle" like the Blue Force tactical, I added my own tab to it so it looks like everyone else but it's solid gear for about $20 cheaper than the BF. Paying for what's good when there's nothing else close is one thing but if you look today and use your smarts and what works for you, not what others say works for you, you'll find what you need.
In Somalia I used a 2qt sling on my A2 cause while searching vehicles I needed to swing my rifle away to use both hands. Took my 60 gunners 9mm with me so I had something quick to grab if needed. Duct tape,550 cord can make anything work. Somewhat.
Coch looks like he's barely 18 shaved like that. It's so easy to take for granted the long history of trial and error behind slings to get to the point where we have good cheap 2 point adjustable slings. I think I have a half dozen vickers laying around.
AWESOME informative video....Coch's experience is priceless....coming from an even "older" guy....lol...Thanks out to the both of you for sharing your priceless experiences.
I knew I watched a video with you guys talking sounds, so I registered it since I'm looking to get slings on my gear. Thanks for going over the old and new. In case you're wondering, I was eyeing Vickers padded sling.
The sad thing about the noisy sling during Vietnam is that it's the same design as we were using on the M1 Garand in WWII, and even back then people knew it was inadequate. Patton mentioned in his wartime journal that the sling was too complicated and wasn't usable for most situations. He said he almost never saw anyone actually using it.
Thank for the variety of options and the history. I know nothing about this. Building my first rifle. Takes time. Learning what things are and the purpose now.
Love your videos! Boys back in the Nam days even wrapped and taped their olive towels round their slings. Especially M60 gunners. They used to improvise everything. Nearly every grunt, partly even in line infantry units (mostly draftees) used tape for their slings pretty quick. SOF units like LRRPs used for their XMs just two strings of paracord. Really interesting how everything changed since then. Anyways: Keep up the great work! Cheers from Germany!
I love hearing your experiences, and thank you both for sharing and protecting our great country. While listening to you talk it came to me WHAT AN EXCITING AND DANGEROUS LIFE YOU BOTH HAVE LIVED and I can see where one would actually miss it, miss the excitement, miss living on the edge. Oh the stories you could tell!!!!! IT is a very very special club you two belong to. keep it going fellas, i have no doubt I'm not the only one who enjoys it
I really like the Blue Force Vickers Combat application sling. I have the padded version two point with the pull tab to loosen or tighten it. It is a good piece of gear and makes it more comfortable to carry. I don't have it set up with a QD i just put a loop of Paracord on my rail and attached the sling to it like that. I like seeing videos like this of you kind of showing the evolution of equipment throughout your time.
Slings are like calculus. Complicated and confusing but brilliant when it works. Them damn three points snagged everything...I just put a Vickers sling on everything.
Pressing out against the sling is even more relevant this month (June 2023). If you choose to remove the brace from your pistol, pressing out against the sling allows a good sight picture with recoil mitigation.
i wish I could put bfg on everything but for range stuff or things I dont use much I get STI 2 point slings. theyve held up really well, have the adjustable tab, strong and a lot better than the entry slings from most other companies, only 25 dollars as well.
The way i had always seen the 1pt sling worn, was with a bungie style, put your left arm through the loop, then pass the whole sling aroun the back of the neck, and over the front of your right shoulder. It lets the rifle hang between your arm and side, and seemed to work when we were out on patrol. Also keeps you from racking your nuts on sidearm transition.
Love the historical retrospective vids-whether it’s the gear or the SOPs, it’s all fascinating. One topic I don’t think has been covered but I’m sure the lads tuning in would want to know about. THAT BAR!!! what’s the deal with that slice of paradise?!?! To my mind, it’s just a few steps - stage right- to the salty surf! Where? How? Why? Do you offer any drink specials? Can I get a plate of conch fritters? do tell!
Aw man! There I was carrying an A1 or A2 on my back in the 80's and 90's and I never thought to DIY a better sling... I guess that's because I was always driving a truck... LOL
I had a mamba wolf hook (was just a mamba sling but broken into 2 parts) and carabiner to my vest. After a house bomb in 2008 Iraq my m4 was bent but rifle was still attached to my vest 😂
As a rigger, I made so much gear… from slings to H- gear to dive gear. SEALS our us (supply) didn’t help much because they were restricted to mil-stock.
Totally different occupation, same environment. Anything that can,will snag, break, stick or freeze up. KISS has proven over time to be effective and reliable.
Great video and appreciate info fr legit sources. Picked up a couple slings from Snakeater tactical and customized them a bit. Super impressed with their quality, simplicity, and are reasonably priced. Did add a couple things GBRS suggested
Have yall tried the McLean Sling? its rapid adjust 2pt to 1pt. I use it on my AR Pistol and Love it. done a few basic rucks with it, but no real torture test yet. I believe it was designed by a Seal as well
I've heard that the SAS method of pressing out against their sling with an MP-5 was because while wearing their gas masks, they couldn't get a good cheak weld and proper sight alignment. An example of gear dictating tactics.
Rubberized carabiner or hard plastic carabiners aka climber hooks would help in noise issue on slings . Climber carabiners are made from the lightest and tensile metals should carry a gun nicely .
When it comes to slings for the AR 15 Edgar Shermans sling is nice. I do not use the QD clips instead I use paracord tripled over on both ends. If the sling is going to fail at that point its going to fail. For my AR 10 since it is heavier I use a similar sling but its padded which is beneficial for shoulder and back fatigue.

Off the top of my head I can think of 2 in the Air Force that are better trained and competent then the SEALS. TACP and Pararescue.

I love these "historical" gear videos. Keep 'em coming please.
agreed - I like the anecdotes and experience mixed in. coch is too cool - straight up legend.
Dorr channels his inner Jack Burton with the Pork Chop Express patch. Priceless 👍
For the SAS-method, it's important to note they did that in part because they were wearing respirators and couldn't get a sight picture with the stock
These guys are just so easy to listen to. No fluff just business. Love the content
Coch you gotta bring back that handle bar that looked epic
I would like to see a video on operating with a sling. Some tips maybe
Lived the walk through it brought back memories. I learned about daisy chaining 550 cord to attach to rifle from a SF Sgt when I got to the rivers in Nam as a Mine Force Diver😎 But primary weapon was a knife strapped to a leg, lol. Thanks Again guys.
I still have my single point bungie sling as a backup but love the Vickers adjustable sling. Worth every penny.
Coach do a knife video on not only the ones used in service but just edc knives also.
Would you please do a video on when you two transitioned from the Weaver stance to the Isoceles stance? I am still using the Weaver stance for handguns. Thinking of switching over. Thnx.
If you guys only knew the real story of the Weaver stance. 😊

The m4 hand guard on that a1 style upper is cancer 💀
Have tried tons of slings. I currently run a Blue Force Gear Vickers sling and its perfect. Get one - dont look back.
Been working slings my whole life, run what works for you and is comfortable to you. Durability and simplicity is key. Great job thanks for your information and experience.
18:58 - I knew I was on to something to not be entirely trusting of QD sling mounts, I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. Thanks Coch!
Who is that young guy next to Dorr??? We want Coch back!
👍That's so funny! I said the same thing about the their last boot video.

Can you do a video on how to use different (1,2 & 3-point) slings? Thank you

AWESOME informative video....Coch's experience is priceless....coming from an even "older" guy....lol...Thanks out to the both of you for sharing your priceless experiences.
Coch, "Yeah, HR was in its infancy". 🤣
German Military got a modern 3-Point Sling from H&K and I like it a lot. The quick release helps to transition into a 1-Point style really fast.
I knew I watched a video with you guys talking sounds, so I registered it since I'm looking to get slings on my gear. Thanks for going over the old and new. In case you're wondering, I was eyeing Vickers padded sling.

These two are the best
Great info!
I 100% agree on running hooks instead of QD anywhere dirt may be an issue. Simple and reliable is better.
Thank for the variety of options and the history. I know nothing about this. Building my first rifle. Takes time. Learning what things are and the purpose now.
Great that y'all give a history of the evolution from useable to very good!!! Thanks

Life-long lover of anything Navy SEAL 🇺🇸🦅⚓🔱
Thank you guys for your service, and the amazing wealth of knowledge you are giving people like myself.
Really cool hearing about the history. Amazing how things evolve. Great video!
Ferro Concepts "Slingster" is pretty sweet imo. For a "basic set & forget" sling, it's hard to beat a cheap magpul.
keep the great content coming guys. love seeing the evolution of gear as well as the "made something that would work" side!
Slings are like calculus. Complicated and confusing but brilliant when it works. Them damn three points snagged everything...I just put a Vickers sling on everything.

Coch always reminds me of my Uncle David, Brigade CSM, U.S. Army 82nd Airborne (Ret) Same era of 💪😎👊
The stone brewery sign is badass
Dorr looks so engaged when Coch is speaking🤔. The Teams showed us the single point sling back in the day and as an old fart I still use it.
I've got a few qd slings still around, but as they fail, I just put Paracord loops with electric tape and melt it all by together.
so true on QDs , hooks only, former recon
I can't believe someone else has those Porkchop Express patches!
Love my paracord sling....it goes through my pistol brace to make an awesome connection 😎
Love these shop-talk videos. Thanks fellas
i wish I could put bfg on everything but for range stuff or things I dont use much I get STI 2 point slings. theyve held up really well, have the adjustable tab, strong and a lot better than the entry slings from most other companies, only 25 dollars as well.
I had a viking sling back in the day and absolutely loved it

Esd or ferro concepts is my favorite sling. Lots of good options these days, gbrs, spiritus systems etc
Aw man! There I was carrying an A1 or A2 on my back in the 80's and 90's and I never thought to DIY a better sling... I guess that's because I was always driving a truck... LOL
You use what works for you
I love these videos guys thanks!
I had a mamba wolf hook (was just a mamba sling but broken into 2 parts) and carabiner to my vest. After a house bomb in 2008 Iraq my m4 was bent but rifle was still attached to my vest 😂
As a rigger, I made so much gear… from slings to H- gear to dive gear.
SEALS our us (supply) didn’t help much because they were restricted to mil-stock.
Just what I needed to understand the various types of slings and find the right one. Why not learn from the best? :)
thanks for the Class ...good shit
great info!! lots of ways to sling a gun
Great stuff, as always! 👍🏻
love the info about the history too
Totally different occupation, same environment. Anything that can,will snag, break, stick or freeze up. KISS has proven over time to be effective and reliable.
Great breakdown!
Another great video, thank you.
Thanks guys, good shit
you gonna do optics next?
Very cool history, very good info.
I still consider the parade sling a valid option if you need to use it. It's not all that different from other 2 points.
Very informative -- thank you!
Hold up. I don't get the zip-tying and taping of the sling. Did sling swivel mounts have a ridiculous failure rate?
Very helpful, thank you.
I've been struggling with this... LOL
Great video and appreciate info fr legit sources. Picked up a couple slings from Snakeater tactical and customized them a bit. Super impressed with their quality, simplicity, and are reasonably priced. Did add a couple things GBRS suggested
great vids - thx
Have yall tried the McLean Sling? its rapid adjust 2pt to 1pt. I use it on my AR Pistol and Love it. done a few basic rucks with it, but no real torture test yet. I believe it was designed by a Seal as well
I've heard that the SAS method of pressing out against their sling with an MP-5 was because while wearing their gas masks, they couldn't get a good cheak weld and proper sight alignment. An example of gear dictating tactics.
Great job 👏
My favorite modern sling is the WPS sling in either version. You cant beat em.
Rubberized carabiner or hard plastic carabiners aka climber hooks would help in noise issue on slings . Climber carabiners are made from the lightest and tensile metals should carry a gun nicely .
That pork chop Express patch is so sick
Didn't think I'd necessarily enjoy the history lesson but I did.
When it comes to slings for the AR 15 Edgar Shermans sling is nice. I do not use the QD clips instead I use paracord tripled over on both ends. If the sling is going to fail at that point its going to fail. For my AR 10 since it is heavier I use a similar sling but its padded which is beneficial for shoulder and back fatigue.
Mine is a Magpul 2 point quick detach that converts to a 1 point if necessary....now how do I shoot this darn thing ?
Great Video!!! It's funny where sand ends up and makes Murphy's Law come true.
appreciate it a lot.
Hilarious how obsessed people are with SEAL teams. There are so many special forces in every branch and it’s always about the seals. Off the top of my head I can think of 2 in the Air Force that are better trained and competent then the SEALS. TACP and Pararescue. But I guess if seals keep making movies and writing books the public will be enamored with them
I saw that polymer lower! 🧐 But I'm a big fan of the KP-15 design, so I'm no hater! There was definitely a good reason Colt wanted to make these in the late 60's/early 70's but the polymer industry just wasn't quite there, Personally I think the KP-15 is pretty freakin awesome, especially compared to the earlier attempts at a lightweight monolithic polymer lower 🤙
No mention of the Chalker sling?
i like my way of using the sling better than anything you have shown.
What about the McLean sling? They look a novelty in slinging
