Who This Is For
The Vickers 221 Padded Sling is purpose-built for military personnel, law enforcement operators, and serious civilian shooters who need a single sling capable of adapting to CQB environments, vehicle operations, and complex structure work. If you run an AR-platform rifle and refuse to choose between the retention benefits of a 2-point and the maneuverability of a 1-point, this sling was designed specifically for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1-point to 2-point conversion actually work?
The Vickers 221 uses Blue Force Gear's patented RED™ Swivel paired with a polymer Burnsed Socket at the rear of the receiver. To switch from 2-point to 1-point mode, simply pull the RED Swivel knob and reinsert it into the Burnsed Socket. The process takes only a second and can be performed under stress. Critically, the sling's rapid-adjust pull tab continues to function normally in both modes, so you never lose the ability to quickly lengthen or shorten the sling regardless of configuration.
What rifles and sling mounts is the Vickers 221 compatible with?
The Vickers 221 is designed primarily for AR-platform rifles including the AR-15, M4, and M16 family. The quick-disconnect push-button (QD) swivel is compatible with any standard 1.25-inch QD sling socket, which is found on the majority of modern rifle stocks, hand guards, and sling plates. If your rifle does not have a QD socket, a wide variety of aftermarket sling mounts and end plates are available to add this functionality.
Is the padding worth it over the standard Vickers Combat Application Sling?
For extended carry — particularly when a fully loaded rifle is worn for hours during training, patrol, or competition — the padded version significantly reduces neck and shoulder fatigue. The padding is positioned across the portion of the sling that rests against the body and does not interfere with adjustment speed or the 1-point/2-point conversion. Shooters who primarily use the sling for short-duration transitions may prefer the slimmer profile of the non-padded version, but for all-day use the padded Vickers 221 is the clear choice.
