"This sling is the best sling, if you're running something a rifle or carbine that doesn't have a lot of rail space or built in QD points. In particular, I bought this for my G36C, after trying a variety of slings, including ones with HK hooks, none of which gave a really good fit. The paracord loops slide through the small holes at the front of the handguard, on that piece that keeps the rail on, very nicely.
PROS:
Intuitive design: the paracord is a pretty simple design
Silent: no metal hardware to bounce around, and all the plastic can be covered in the elastic on the sling.
Padding: This is likely some of the best padding I've found on a sling, and I've looked at and tried a decent amount of padded slings. The padding on the S3 is thicker than most, but it's also very soft. Not a great design for minimalist loadouts, but great for heavier gear.
CONS:
Length: The sling is pretty long, even when fully shortened. This is both good and bad, as a fully let out sling will let you swap shoulders, and the sling is quick-adjustable
Adjuster: The quick-adjust pull tab is a double-layered webbing loop instead of a proper tab or simple paracord loop. It's thick and easy to grab, but it will also be heavier than the other options and can feel bulky.

"Pretty simple review.
High quality materials, very durable, comfortable padding, easily adjustable.
Only negative thing I can find about this is the product is the sling points themselves. It has the option to make it a 1 point or 2 point sling option. However, only on of the sling mounts is detachable from the gun to sling. So if you decide to use it as a 1 point sling want to take the sling off, there is no quick detach srom gun to sling. You need to untie the whole sling off the gun and tie it back on if you want to use it again.
There needs to be another quick snap clip on the other end of the sling. Not just 1 side.

"Not bad, the tie ons for the rifle are weird since you can't really adjust them. Also the adjuster closest to the back end by the shoulder pad in the picture did not come with mine.. so the tightest setting I was able to do was still too long.. making the quick adjust that does come on it pointless since at the tightest I could still easily swim my arm outta it. Undoing some mods with zip ties and stuff so so far it's better then the one I made outta lying around straps and better then nothing too so all in all I don't regret my purchase, but if I could choose again I would bet the lbx/lbt sling for sure. Sorry strike industries

"The picture on the website here is outdated. It does not have a regular length adjustment only the quick adjust and that ends up being too long unless you're running some crazy long DMR set up. It can be sorta fiddled with to make it work but it completely defeats the purpose of a quick adjust sling. You're better off buying a non-quick adjust and saving the $15
