BLUE FORCE VICKERS 221 PADDED SLING - QD - RED SWIVEL - 1 POINT / 2 POINT - MULTICAM
The Blue Force Gear Vickers 221 Padded Sling in Multicam is the ultimate convertible rifle sling, combining the comfort of a padded design with the tactical flexibility to switch instantly between 1-point and 2-point carry modes — no tools, no fumbling, no compromises.
- Converts instantly from 2-point to 1-point mode via the patented RED Swivel system
- Padded construction reduces fatigue during extended patrols or range sessions
- Patented RED Swivel knob allows one-handed, on-the-fly configuration changes
- New polymer Burnsed Socket at the rear receiver provides a secure, repeatable connection
- Rapid adjustment hardware keeps sling length instantly tunable in both modes
- Multicam pattern provides effective concealment across a wide range of environments
Who This Is For
The Vickers 221 is built for law enforcement officers, military personnel, and serious civilian shooters who need one sling that can handle any scenario — from vehicle-mounted operations and CQB environments where a 1-point configuration excels, to extended field carry where a stable 2-point setup is preferred. It's also an excellent choice for competitive shooters and prepared citizens who refuse to sacrifice versatility for comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1-point to 2-point conversion actually work?
The Vickers 221 uses Blue Force Gear's patented RED (Rotational Energy Dispersal) Swivel at the front of the sling and a new polymer Burnsed Socket at the rear. To switch from 2-point to 1-point mode, simply pull up on the RED Swivel knob and reinsert it into the Burnsed Socket at the rear of the receiver. The process takes only seconds and can be performed under stress with minimal practice. Rapid length adjustment remains fully functional in both configurations.
Is this sling compatible with my AR-15, M4, or other rifle?
The Vickers 221 is designed to work with a wide range of modern sporting rifles and carbines, including AR-15/M4-pattern rifles, that have standard QD sling swivel sockets. The front RED Swivel and rear push-button QD swivel are industry-standard sizes compatible with most aftermarket and mil-spec QD attachment points. If your rifle does not have QD sockets, you may need an adapter plate or end plate with QD capability to use this sling.
How does the padded version differ from the standard Vickers Combat Applications Sling?
The Vickers 221 Padded Sling shares the same core hardware and convertible 1-point/2-point functionality as the standard Vickers VCAS, but adds a padded section along the body of the sling to distribute the weight of heavier rifles more comfortably across the shoulder and chest. This makes it particularly well-suited for users who carry their rifle for extended periods, or those running heavier setups with optics, lights, and suppressors. The rapid-adjust system and QD swivel hardware remain identical across both versions.
