Gear review: Dual Adjust Weapon Sling
Our first gear review is focused on one of the most under appreciated feature of any rifle. This of course being a good sling. Some rifle owners only ever take their weapon out of the case for a few minutes while on the firing line. However, if you read content on this site, you probably don’t fall in that category. At the very least, you have had a rifle slung to you body for hours on end at some point in your life.

I recently had the chance to try the The Dual Adjust Weapon Sling by Arbor Arms. The rifle I attached it to was a Springfield Armory SAINT Victor. We are going to dive into the whole process from top to bottom and see if this sling lives up to the hype.

Unboxing the sling
The product arrived damage free, and was neatly packaged. The instructions were simple enough to follow. This includes the M-Lok attachment that is needed to fit my rifle. I ended up disassembling it while attaching the sling to my weapon. Maybe a small paper insert with a guide would have helped, but that’s not a big deal. I just eye balled the website to make sure I put it together correctly and we were good to go.
Fit and feel
The sling felt good around my body both in and out of my plate carrier. I have around a 48” chest, and there was still plenty of room to tighten down. Overall, I would say this was one of the more intuitively designed slings I have worn.
Durability
This sling seemed rugged and well built. I have not had it long, nor put many rounds down range with it, but it seems like it will last a long time. The material is well made, and the webbing held up well during my small “stress test.”
Function
The Dual Adjust Weapon Sling states it “combines the Advantages of close loop slider slings with easy adjustment and no tail for both loose and patrol adjustments length.”
I can verify this is an accurate statement. The Dual Adjust Weapon Sling was easy to maneuver, and allowed for speedy adjustments. One of my favorite aspects was that it allowed me to switch hands freely, without strangling myself.
The slider aspects allows for typical functions, but the real value is in the addition on the locking cam. This facilitates the sling being locked tight to the body. This is much more secure than the slider alone.
This will be very helpful if you are doing something like traversing obstacles, fast roping, or dealing with detainees.
Final thoughts on this gear review
I like this sling, and I think you will too. There was clearly a lot of thought that went into the design, and it was made in the USA.
