TRIGGER TIME TV - SEASON 8 - EPISODE 2 - B-SLING, 2 POINT
About this video
McPhee discusses the design and features of his SOB two-point sling, which he developed in 1997 for use in confined spaces and tactical situations. He explains his philosophy on rifle slings, the specific components of his design including the combat band, buckles, and adjustment mechanism, and his approach to balancing secure weapon retention with quick deployment capability.
Key takeaways
- McPhee argues that while commandos should keep weapons in hand, slings are essential for situations requiring both hands free, such as assisting injured personnel
- McPhee designed his sling with ‘quick to shoot technology’ that prioritizes rapid rifle deployment while still allowing secure body attachment when needed
- McPhee recommends containing the sling with high-temp silicone bands to prevent it from catching on vehicle controls in confined spaces
