The sling performed flawlessly. As the description notes, it is totally ambidextrous, which,when doing corner shots, is extremely handy! The sling is also very <strong>COMFORTABLE<\/strong>, which when you are running drills all day or are on 12 hour patrols is one of the most important features!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now I know there are a fair amount of single point slings out there that may <strong>LOOK<\/strong> similar, but when you start looking at the quality of the craftsmanship and materials, you will soon see the difference.
