4.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad, January 23, 2010
Pros:
- Elastic shell holders allow for 12 gauge or 20g!
- 15 Round holder, perfect for hunting or WSHTF!
- Adjustable - but what sling isn't?
- Thick sling allows for even distribution of weight load. This won't dig into your shoulder like skinnier slings out there.
Cons:
- Must have a gun swivel on your weapon, so expect to buy extra parts for this to work.
- Cheap clips scratch up easily, exposing a shinny metal.
- Elastic Shell holder is one long strip, sewn every half inch. Instead of individual sewn shell holders. So if a section of stitching comes undone, you have lost the ability to carry 2 shells.
Other Thoughts:
This wouldn't be bad for a child or teen with their first rifle or shotgun. Also isn't bad for adults who are looking for a easy way to carry their weapon as well. However, I am unsure if such material will hold up after long abuse.
I give it 4 stars because it is affordable, can carry 15 shells of different gauges and has a decent thickness, unlike some skinny sling's I have seen. I purchased this on Amazon under a different account and I am currently using this product.

A well-designed, practical sling, December 21, 2008
This is a well-designed, practical sling. I have it mounted on a Mossberg 590 heavy-barrel, military-style shotgun. A durable, elegant design, the sling is wide enough to be very comfortable even with such a heavy weapon and has snug fitting elastic holders for 15 extra shells. The only thing I don't like about it is that the swivel clips let it swing around in strange ways when it's not supported. If they had necked the ends down to fit a standard sling swivel rather then using the hooks that would be better. Nevertheless, it's a useful, well made design. I just ordered a second one for my bird gun too.

Could be better, March 11, 2010
Extra weight of the shells gives your barrel a side to side movement as the sling swings. I had to install it backwards to account for this. I'm not shure why that wasn't the origional design... Seems like you would want the shells close for an easy reload and the weight in a more managable position. The sleeves that hold the shells could be a little tighter as well. Carrying shells extensivly in this sling will lead to droppage as they move around in the loops.
