Blue Force GearThe Blue Force Gear Vickers 221 Padded Sling with RED Swivel in Multicam Black gives shooters the best of both worlds — the stability of a 2-point carry and the speed of a 1-point configuration — switchable in seconds without breaking your grip or your focus.
- Instantly converts between 1-point and 2-point modes via RED Swivel knob
- Patented RED Swivel and polymer Burnsed Socket enable tool-free transitions
- Padded design reduces fatigue during extended carry and prolonged missions
- Rapid-adjust pull tab allows one-handed length changes in either mode
- Push-button QD swivel at the rear for quick rifle attachment and detachment
- Multicam Black pattern blends with low-visibility and nighttime operational gear
Who This Is For
The Vickers 221 is built for military, law enforcement, and serious civilian shooters who transition between vehicle operations, CQB environments, and open-terrain shooting. If you've ever been forced to choose between a 1-point and a 2-point sling and felt like you were leaving performance on the table, this sling eliminates that compromise entirely. It's equally at home on a duty AR-15, an SBR, or a competition-ready carbine.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I switch between 1-point and 2-point mode?
The conversion is designed to be near-instantaneous. Simply pull the RED Swivel knob out of the Burnsed Socket and reinsert it into the rear socket to shift from 2-point to 1-point mode — or reverse the process to go back. No tools, no buckles to thread, and no need to remove the sling from your rifle. The entire process takes just a couple of seconds, even under stress.
Is the Vickers 221 compatible with my AR-15 or other carbine?
Yes. The Vickers 221 uses a standard QD push-button swivel at the rear, which is compatible with any rifle or handguard that features a QD sling cup or socket — a near-universal standard on modern AR-platform rifles, carbines, and many imported rifles. The front RED Swivel attaches to a fixed loop or standard sling mount at the muzzle end. If your firearm lacks QD attachment points, aftermarket mounts are widely available and inexpensive.
What makes this sling different from the standard Vickers Combat Applications Sling?
The standard Vickers VCAS is a fixed 2-point sling — exceptional for most applications, but it doesn't convert to 1-point mode. The Vickers 221 adds Blue Force Gear's patented RED Swivel and Burnsed Socket system specifically to enable that instant 2-to-1-point transition. It also features padding along the body for added comfort during long carries, making it a step up for operators who need both versatility and all-day wearability.
