Best 3-point sling for M4

The question might sound silly but I'm asking simply because I run a quite heavy setup on my M4 sometimes and the CQB sling or the King Arms 3-point sling is just not enough to give proper support. I really don't mind spending the big bucks on a good sling but I don't want to go in there blind and just buy the most expensive sling to realise that it's not any better than the KA one.

Here is a picture of my M4 just to give people a better idea :



My available attachment point are the loop that was provided with the KA sling on the stock and at the front the sling loop that's attached to the RIS. As far as the color itself OD would be better than black that's for sure.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Blue Force Gear Vickers sling. It's a two-point but you'll love me long time after you get one and find how nice it is.

I don't think Brakoo has a CIRAS to be able to use that kind of sling.

I took a look at it and it seems like an interesting one. I'll wait to see what other suggestions comes up.

No, it wouldn't. You need the CIRAS quick release cables to hold that one-point sling.

Or you thread it through 2-3 molle straps and fold and zip tie the ends

You calling Brakoo a clown... cause that's what he'll look like if he does that. Anyways, Brak already said he wasn't looking at a single point sling as his gun does not have the buffer tube sling loop.

Blackhawk "swift" slings are nice too. Came with one of my M4s. But replaced it, due to an immense hate for overly complex slings

I'd recommend the eagle 3 point m4 sling. 3 colour-ways available. Comfortable, although if its going to be directly on your BDU and not over a vest with some padding you might want to consider a sling with thicker straps as the thinner ones can cut into you if your weapon is heavy.

first link i could find of it, description included:

3 point slings were obsolete with the introduction of the Vickers sling.

It can do everything a one and three point sling can without the draw backs. It's actually made for combat unlike most other slings on the market which are made just to carry your weapon.

The BFG slings are also a thicker solution washed nylon unlike most other slings that are made from seatbelt webbing and cut into your neck or shoulders.

The slings are also IR coated, come in 4 colors, work for right or left handed shooters and have a lifetime warrenty

The BFG slings are issued to the Marines, Stryker Brg, OPP, RCMP as well as other "elite" units.

It's funny but that reasable sling by Phantom was knocked off from BFG and it's now more expensive than the BFG one. The copy shown also comes with the "wolf hook" which is known for failing under stress.
