Need direction on a front sling mount for the AR. It came with Magpul MOE stock and hand guard. Included was a strap loop that plugs into the stock but unless I'm missing something (entirely possible) there is no specific place forward or on the hand guard.

TIA

If you carry a pistol, this is a great video from one of the best trainers to ever grace this planet. It's hard to believe its almost been 10 years since Col. Cooper has been gone.

Mental Conditioning For Combat by Col Jeff Cooper SURVIVAL MINDSET - YouTube

Video quality is horrible, the message however is priceless.

I was privileged to take defensive pistol with Col. Cooper back around 2000 at his place in AZ. I think it was one of the last classes in which he was actually the lead instructor.

Excellent!! Col. Cooper, as well as Elmer Keith played a very significant role in my development as a shooter, as well as a man. I never met either personally, but their books and articles were devoured by my young mind. Cheers

Check out Impact Weapons Components. Their stuff is bombproof.

ETA: I'm a huge fan of the QD type slings. Never had much luck or cared for the HK type hooks. Best sling for the money? Blue Force Gear Vickers padded:

Blue Force Gear Vickers OA Combat Applications Sling

Combine with this:

QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT | IWC

And this:

QD Rotation Limited Sling MOUNT-N-SLOT for Buttstock | IWC

And a pair of these:

Heavy Duty Push Button QD Swivel | IWC

And you're in business.

Yeah, I expect you got the same email I did. Though, if Santa's buying, mine would be the Supergrade.

So would yours be .45 or 9mm?

Either really. I have both calibers in the 1911 model.

But likely in the .45 ACP. Not that the 9mm wouldn't work especially in a Wilson, but save the Rock Island full sized, I haven't had good luck with the Commander length in 9mm. It's a Kimber, so that could be the problem.

And yes I get (and drool over) their email flyers.

I'm sure you would enjoy it, so just buy it for yourself

Yep, just a credit card swipe away GV. Do it, do it, do it! It's just money.


I have wondered, do folks actually carry those guns? What if the worst happens and you're forced to use it, do you really want a $4k pistol sitting in a evidence locker with a electro penciled case number on the side. That's heart breaking.

I don't think most departments do an etching any longer.

But the simple answer to your quandary is buy two.
