The most important thing to determine when choosing a sling is its primary function. Ask yourself what will I use the sling for and in what environment? If you are looking for a tactical sling used primarily in a CQB environment than there is a good chance the single point sling is right for you. If weapon retention, cross shoulder transition, and high speed transition from rifle to sidearm are a top priority, the single point sling is your answer.

However, if the primary purpose of your sling will be for carrying your weapon hands free over an extended duration, you would be better served with a two point carry strap.
