So it looks like a lot of the big tacticool makers have dropped their 3 point sling lineups. I have an old Magpul S3 three point sling I wanted to duplicate for another build, and it does not seem to exist anymore. Their current "S3 gen 2" is a two/single point combo sling. I am not sure that is what "3" is supposed to mean here Magpul, care to explain yourself? Troy and Strike also seem to have discontinued their 3 points too, with Strike committing the same "S3" nomenclature insanity as Magpul.
So two questions;
1. What the hell happened to the 3 point sling market? I know some super popular personalities don't like them, but they are still a useful setup in a lot of circumstances. They are also still the standard in some LEO and military organizations. Why did the big tacticool manufacturers drop them?
2. Is there a quality producer of this type of sling system? All I can find online is cheap Chinese crap, and I am not sure I trust that, even if they are less than $10 a pop.
Edit: Got PMed an interesting source, in case anyone else is looking; www.spectergear.com. I will probably be giving one of these a try.
