While 2-point slings are ideal for most situations, there are times, like deploying from a vehicle or fighting in complex structures, when a 1-point sling has a clear advantage.  The Vickers 221 Sling allows users to switch from 2-point to 1-point mode instantly by pulling on the Swivel knob and reinserting it in to the Burnsed Socket at the rear of the receiver. The instantaneous adjustability of the sling is still maintained in both single and 2 point modes.

Constructed similar to the world’s standard Vickers Combat Applications Sling™, a swivel is sewn to the front of the sling towards the muzzle.  A standard push button swivel and new molded Burnsed Socket are woven onto the rear allowing full adjustability of the sling for use with or without body armor. 

Overall sling length adjustability is maintained through the use of Acetal triglides on the sling
