These provide the most freedom of movement because it is only attached to a single point on your weapon system. This means you can easily switch shoulders. Which gives a great advantage for CQB environments.

1-point slings are available with a loop or with a MOLLE attachment to carry it on the back of your vest or plate carrier. Keep in mind that when you choose the MOLLE version, you will carry the weight on one shoulder. This can create a pressure point with long uses.

The disadvantages start to show up when you don’t need your primary weapon and have to carry it with you.

First off, doing a transition to your sidearm can already be problematic. This because releasing your weapon will make it naturally fall in your crotch area which is not a pleasant experience.
Secondly, when you want to move around hands-free or with your sidearm. Your weapon will start to swing around in all directions imaginable. So, this means you are already forced to use one hand to carry your primary weapon system while moving.
Thirdly, you don’t have the possibility to put your gun on your back. This means you can’t do things like climbing a ladder for example.

Due to all of this, we suggest using a 1-point sling only with short barreled systems. This will reduce the swinging as much as possible due to physics. But like anything there are solutions for all kind of problems. Including for the problems we just mentioned.
