The Next Generation
The current generation Snap Sling maintains the desirable features of the previous Snap Sling,
while adding a simplified and stronger all metal hands-free quick release mechanism.

Overview
The Snap Sling was designed to carry the weight of your combat  weapon in a safe and comfortable position (patrol position) for an extended period, yet enable you to respond or initiate fire instantly with either point shooting (close targets) or precision aimed fire (using your sights).

This is accomplished with a rapid sling adjustment system and an automatic (hands free) quick release that allows the Snap Sling to expand instantly for the extra length necessary to shoulder your weapon.

(Click photos for larger image.)

The main advantages of the Snap Sling are:

Comfort
In the patrol position (below) the weapon is carried high with its weight spread over a large area (shoulder and back) for less fatigue over an extended period.
    
 

Safety
Muzzle pointed down in the direction of travel. Leaves one or both hands free to perform other tasks while maintaining your weapon in a position that allows rapid use.

 

Speed
From the patrol position the weapon may be put into action instantly with accurate close range point shooting from the underarm assault position ..... or precision aimed fire from the shoulder.

 

Purpose
The Snap Sling is designed to be used in combat when a sling is necessary with minimal compromise to the weapon's use. The Snap Sling helps minimize the fatigue associated with carrying a weapon, and assists in keeping the weapon in a safe and ready position.

The Snap Sling is also useful in police/SWAT operations where the police officer needs a sling that leaves his hands free to perform other tasks while maintaining his weapon in a safe and ready position. In addition, the Snap Sling can be used to carry the weapon in several non tactical positions (see instructions).

Like any other sling, the Snap Sling has its limitations.  It is made to be used on weapons that mount their slings on the side of the weapon opposite the ejection port. This limits its use to right-handed shooters on most weapons. Also, some weapons such as the FN FAL, AR15/M16, AK47, SKS, and M14/M1A with standard stocks require an adapter to permit the proper attachment of the Snap Sling to these weapons.

Realizing the limitations inherent to any sling, the Snap Sling offers versatility with maximum comfort, safety, and speed during use.  If you use a weapon such as: AK-47, FN FAL & Para, FNC & FNC Para, H&K Rifles, Sig 550 & 551, Galil, Benelli Super 90, Remington 870, AR15/M16 style rifles, etc. ..... the Snap Sling is for you.

Features
Quick and easy to use. Allows for instant point or aimed shooting.  Helps keep the weapon in a safe and ready position.  Rapid adjustment for various carry positions.  Doesn't fall off your shoulder.  Allows hands free carry if necessary.  Versatile for tactical or non tactical situations.  Made with durable, high quality materials.

Instructions for Use
The Snap Sling is quick and easy to use, but you will need to familiarize yourself with its operations. Read the instructions before using.

Step 1. Attach the Snap Sling to your weapon's front sling loop as shown below.  Attach rear hook (not shown) in the same manner.

 

Step 2. To put the Snap Sling on, grasp the sling in your left hand, as shown in the photo below.  Put your right arm and head through the sling. The sling will lay across the left shoulder and back. Note: there are two straps on your left shoulder.  These are the adjustment straps.

 

Step 3. To lengthen the Snap Sling, grasp the outer strap as shown in photo below.  Pull down on the strap to lengthen the sling (weapon will hang lower).
 

Step 4. To shorten the sling, support the weight of your weapon with your right arm.  Grasp the inner adjustment strap with your right hand below the adjustment slide. With your left hand grasp the adjustment slide and push up.

 

Step 5. The weapon is properly adjusted to the patrol position when the butt of the weapon rests in your right armpit with the muzzle angled down and the sling is carrying the weight of the weapon.  (See photos in the overview).  The sling should be too short to shoulder your weapon from this position.  Make sure the sling is long enough to shoulder your weapon properly when in the expanded position.
 

Step 6. To transition from "patrol position" to "aimed fire", push the weapon straight forward briskly.  This will cause the quick release to open, allowing the sling to expand so you can shoulder your weapon.  Review steps 3 and 4 if necessary.
 

Step 7. To re-set the quick release buckle, grasp the slide bar in one hand and slide it forward under the the spring clip until it snaps into place, (see picture below).  That's all there is to it.... now you're good to go.
