One, Two, or Three point?

Enjoy. I like 2 points myself, though under $40 limits you severely. Might be able to get a Vickers VCAS for $45 though.

I like the MS3™ Single QD - Multi-Mission Sling. It's over your price limit ($59) but I think you could find it cheaper on ebay.
My opinion...60% of the time, it's right every time!

Have you tried a tactical two point yet? There's a reason the infantry is getting rid of 1 and 3 points. I mean, a 1 point is basically only for retention, whereas a 2 point will stabilize your shooting.

If you want to use a 1 point, get a sling keeper attachment, the kind that attaches to the buffer tube on an AR. For soemthign not an AR, a 1 point is a waste of money.

personally two and three points seem uncomfortable to me , never get them to work right and the gun dosent move well to my back if i needed to draw a secondary

Not as 'tacti-cool' looking as some of the new stuff on the market, but you can pick up GI web slings almost anywhere. M1938 sling and you can adapt it to any length you want, many many years of service and lots of good people putting them to use all around the globe.

I have one of these. No regrets. I don't like two point slings and three point slings are better suited for spider man. Make sure you get the attachment that goes between the stock and the lower. Otherwise it will be too long and not serve you well.

Take a class with a two-point when you get a chance. It's different, but it took a few minutes for me to figure it out and I've never wanted to go back.

I should add my preference for the one point has more to do with the way I organize my gear that suits a variety of tasks rather than just one. It certainly is not the best choice for everyone.

Don't know if you've ordered anything yet, nor do I know what the hive's opinion is of blackhawk slings (no one's voted for them yet), but I just came across this.
