More than 500,000 Vickers Slings are in service across every branch of the U.S. military and with allied forces abroad. Made in the USA from Invista solution-dyed CORDURA® webbing with a patented Quick Adjuster for immediate transition from carry to ready, it is the tactical sling requested by name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented Quick Adjuster with contrasting pull tab:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instantly transitions the sling from comfortable carry to fighting length.

The patented Quick Adjuster solves that with a single pull. Let the sling out for patrol carry. Pull it in for entry work, vehicle ops, or contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CORDURA® webbing is solution-dyed by Invista — the dye is in the fiber, not on it. It holds color under UV, abrasion, moisture, and wash cycles that surface-dyed alternatives won't survive. For long-duration deployments, the sling holds up without fading, fraying, or stiffening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware choice matters at this level. The nylon option is lighter and lays flatter under a kit — better choice for operators who want minimal bulk under plate carriers or against the body. The metal option adds strength at the adjuster and triglides for operators running heavier weapons or higher-stress attachment points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSling Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54\" – 64\" (adjustable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWebbing Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWebbing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInvista solution-dyed CORDURA®\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNylon Hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass-reinforced DuPont Zytel® nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReversible (muzzle-up for bolt-action \/ shotgun)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM4, carbines, rifles; triglides via swivels, loops, or sling hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAttachment Hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in USA, Berry Compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBFG limited lifetime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy tacticaledge.com Carries It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 500,000 in service. Every branch of the U.S. military. Allied forces abroad. The Vickers Sling is not a theoretical product — it is the sling a generation of operators asked for by name after enough time in the field with slings that didn't work. Blue Force Gear and Larry Vickers built it from that feedback, patented the Quick Adjuster, and have been producing it in the USA ever since. It earns the spot in the lineup on its record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs attachment hardware included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Vickers Sling attaches directly to fixed-loop firearm attachment systems. Additional hardware for different front and rear attachment methods is sold separately. Contact us if you need help identifying the right hardware for your specific weapon system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNylon or metal hardware — which should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNylon (glass-reinforced DuPont Zytel®) is lighter and lays flatter — better for operators who carry under kit or want to minimize bulk. Metal (anodized machined aluminum adjuster, phosphate steel triglides) adds strength for heavier weapons or higher-demand attachment points. Both are duty-grade. Choose based on weight preference and carry application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Quick Adjuster work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quick Adjuster is a patented sliding mechanism on the sling body. Pull the contrasting wolf gray tab to shorten the sling for a fighting position; release to return to carry length. The transition is one-handed and operable under gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a padded version available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Vickers Padded 2 Point Sling is available separately. The padded version adds a 2-inch inline closed-cell foam pad that does not slide on the sling body, runs 57\" to 67\" in length, and uses 2-inch tubular webbing. See that listing for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colors are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and Coyote Brown are stocked at tacticaledge.com.
