survivalshop Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Are these things any good , what I mean is , do all you people that use the , trust them no to come un-attached when you don't want them to , like a fixed Sling attachment . I have never even looked at one in the flesh & certainly never used one . I trust most Permeant ones , because I have tested them . This one happens to be a Magpul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I have never had one detach itself. Never. No matter what brand. Those things are about all I use anymore, that way, any sling can go on any rifle, without specialized hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 You can get the Damage Industries ones for $6 when they have big sales. They are as nice as any of the other big name ones. Dont buy the china junk. They are all over amazon and ebay. They will come apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I just finished a full "force on force" day. The whole time with an AR on a Magpul single point sling that used QD attachments. No failures... and I fidgeted with that gawdam thing the entire time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Another thing I like the MWI ones better than the magpul ones. MWI uses a gloss finish, they're smooth in operation. The magpul ones are a flat finish and they're kinda gritty.

GRA Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I've never had one come apart but I have had a couple of the bungee and hook-type break at the bend in the hook. One of them the very first hour of use. The cheap foreign-made jobs are obviously made from pot metal. I use these quick detach units now and I am quite satisfied. USA-made units will last. The Magpul piece you have here is most likely as good as anything else USA-made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I still have not made a decision on which brand I want , some I wanted to try were out of stock last time I ordered from Brownells . I will probably buy a couple of what ever they have in stock next order . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I just use these ones - whenever I need them, it's the last part of a build, sling is already here, and I forgot about them. I swing by Cabela's, and they have these. They have MagPuls, also, at $15 each... These things retail at $19.99 for both, in a package - cheaper than the rest, and haven't failed me yet. I think you're putting way too much thought into this one, brother, I really do. These things aren't the weak link in sling attachment to your rifle. Get something made of steel, and you're good. Really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at a higher price I like their finish, it isn't that it is glossy enough to be real reflective but the phosphate ones I have make a squeaky little noise when they turn in the socket where the MWI just glide quietly. I also prefer the style with the raised edge around the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used these things & know nothing ( well more now ) about them , to me , being mechanically inclined , they look weak , but looks seem , in this case, deceiving .
