I was able to review another great product for Aspen RidgeSports. This time it was their Single Point Sling or otherwise labeled “SofSling”.
I wanted to do a video for this product as well but it just seemed that there
was always something new coming up in the family and I was just never able to
get it done. Anyways, Aspen Ridge has designed a one point sling that attaches
to your rifle by way of a sling adaptor. It doesn’t take very long to attach
and if you don’t have the know-how, you can contact your local gun dealer and
get a quote on their labor fee.
Once the adapter is placed on the rifle, the sling is
already ready to go. It has a heavy duty snap hook that attaches directly into
the adaptor connector and it can be attached for right and left hand shooters.
So much today do we see most items are made for right handed individuals
because of how they outnumber lefties. But Aspen Ridge takes all of that into
account when they design their products so that no one is left out and this way
they are able to provide to a much diverse clientele.
The sling itself is made of 1 ½ “of Nylon Webbing which is
also accompanied by two bungees to reduce the shock on your shoulder. So, when
you have to transition from rifle to pistol for close combat, when the rifle is
dropped, the bungees absorb the weight rather than transitioning it to your
shoulder and making for a much easier transition to your handgun or other items
that need to be gathered or used.
The sling comes with two release mechanisms for easier entry
into vehicles. Simply undo the quick release buckle and you are on your way.
Or, you can remove your firearm by way of removing the metal snap hook from the
firearm itself.
Other great innovations include the ability to adjust to
your comfort level. It is fully adjustable and me being a man of great stature,
I definitely need this option. I was able to adjust my sling comfortably
without having to jeopardize reliability of knowing where my firearm was.
This is where I was hoping to have a video but as I said, I
wasn’t able to get one up. I put my sling through hell. I did maneuvers that
utilized me having to throw my rifle around to my back and using my sidearm. I
wanted to test the durability, whether or not the snap and quick release would
buckle under pressure and I wanted to illustrate real-life possibilities that
could occur. Not once did I have any issue of give from the buckles and the
sling operated professionally. The strain from the slinging of the firearm was absorbed
into the bungees and I really did not notice any pull on my shoulder, but I did
feel a little near my neck, which is where a lot of tension rests. It was
expected.
This sling and the components that it is made up of are of
very high quality and can take a beating and being a Marine veteran, this is
the kind of dependability that I would be looking for on the field of battle. I
give this sling a “Semper Fi” because it is just like the Marines, “Always
Faithful”.
