Sling help

[tormentor]

I have an AK-47 with a folding stock. I want to get a sling so I can draw my pistol. What type of sling do you guys recommend?

I like 2 or 3 point slings if you need the sling to keep the weapon tucked away while you move, and 1 point slings if all you want is something to keep it from hitting the ground when you draw your pistol. The 2 and 3 point slings will bind up the weapon more, making it harder to shoot with your off hand, but they do a much better job of keeping it out of the way.

That's the beauty of 3 points with a quick disconnect on the front end, lets you shoot off hand without much issue. Personally, I love 1 point and 3 point slings and it becomes all up to you on which will work best.

If you won't be running around with the AK hanging on the sling, a 1 point would cause less binding issues and keep your rifle off the ground. But if you do plan on moving a lot with your pistol in hand, than a 3 point (or a 2 point if you swing it around to your back) would be a better option. If you have a chance to go to a game, ask some people who have different types of slings if you can try it out a little with your gear on in the staging area, that way you can see how they work and what might be best for your needs.

If you don't want a piece of wood and metal hitting your sack every step, I would suggest a weapons catch if you end up running a one point.

Thanks for all the input. I just found one I like.
