Where all the 3 point slings at?

If 3 point slings were all that, you'd see them in use with SF groups and the like that actually have a choice of what they want to use...they don't use them.

Everything mentioned about securing the rifle while climbing and various other activities can be done and done well with a 2 point.

I hunted cartels in marijuana plantations for 3 years, a couple guys on the team had 3 points.. didn't take long for those to get dumped.

Equipment sounds good in theory until it gets pressure tested.

Kids these days are just lazy. No one wants to put in the work for a perfect system. "I'll just use two point slings because they only have one adjustment and who has time for more than that?"

Call me lazy too then. 2 deployments using a 2 point sling back when 3 points where all the rage. You ever tried to transition a three point to your back so you can switch to your metal detector to start sweeping? Cause it's a real pain in the bubblegum let me tell yeah.

You did a great job explaining why they work so well for you, but it's just that, how they work for you. You are saying it like it should apply to everyone, and then call us lazy because we aren't using an outdated system that was a far stretch from perfect.

2 points do the exact same thing…. Just gotta train transitions.

All I'm saying is there is a reason they aren't produced/used in bulk anymore. We had them in the Marines. We hated them.

Glad you like them though.

Are you sure it's not because most Marines have always had trouble counting past two?

Maybe…….

But my opinion still remains the same. Lol.

3 points are over-engineered/over-thought to do the same thing a 2 point does…. Just cause it has a bigger number doesn't mean it's better. Haha.

There's a reason no SF units use them.

And leave my counting alone!

I have a salty 3 point and a new in package 3 point that came in the Marine gear/uniform pile I acquired recently, and let me tell you.. They're functional trash. Think they were made by Advanced Fabrication Inc.

They don't do anything better than the popular Vickers sling, or the old school Silent Sling 2 pointers.
