BLUE FORCE VICKERS 221 SLING - QD - RED SWIVEL - 1 POINT / 2 POINT - COYOTE BROWN

- Converts from 2-point to 1-point mode instantly via patented RED Swivel system
- Pull-and-reinsert RED Swivel knob snaps into molded Burnsed Socket at rear
- Quick-Detach (QD) push-button swivel for fast attachment and removal from rifle
- Rapid one-hand length adjustment maintained in both 1-point and 2-point modes
- Built on the same proven platform as the world-standard Vickers Combat Applications Sling™
- Durable Coyote Brown nylon webbing blends with popular tan and multicam gear setups
Who This Is For
The Vickers 221 is purpose-built for military personnel, law enforcement operators, and tactical shooters who need a single sling that adapts on the fly. It excels in vehicle operations, CQB environments, and any mission profile where switching between retention and maneuverability is non-negotiable. It's also an excellent choice for competitive shooters and serious AR-platform owners who refuse to compromise between sling styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 2-point to 1-point conversion actually work?
The Vickers 221 uses Blue Force Gear's patented RED™ Swivel — a distinctively colored knob sewn near the muzzle end of the sling. To convert from 2-point to 1-point mode, simply pull the RED Swivel free from the molded Burnsed Socket located at the rear of the receiver and reinsert it into the socket. The transition takes less than a second and requires no tools or complicated hardware manipulation. Converting back is equally fast, making it practical even under stress or with gloves on.
What rifles and platforms is this sling compatible with?
The Vickers 221 QD sling is designed primarily for AR-15, M4, and M16-pattern rifles equipped with QD sling swivel sockets, which are standard on most modern tactical handguards, stocks, and end plates. It is also compatible with any rifle that accepts a standard push-button QD attachment point. If your firearm has a fixed loop or MLOK/Picatinny sling adapter, you may need an additional adapter to use the QD swivel end.
Is the one-hand adjustment as fast in 1-point mode as it is in 2-point mode?
Yes — one of the standout features of the Vickers 221 is that Blue Force Gear engineered the rapid-adjustment pull tab to function in both configurations. Whether you're running the sling as a conventional 2-point or have converted to 1-point for vehicle egress or close-quarters use, you retain the same swift, single-handed length adjustment that the Vickers Combat Applications Sling™ is renowned for.
