The GMT Sling – Give Me Tail

Blue Force Gear revolutionized the tactical sling industry when they introduced their famous VCAS captured tail design. The GMT sling addresses the deficiencies found in legacy designs for those who prefer a tail sling. Legacy tail slings suffer from two major deficiencies. First, metal adjustment buckles that rust, break and damage other gear. These buckles also have springs that often fail leaving the sling useless. Next is the inferior thin webbing used with these buckles. This thin webbing is required to allow the buckle to adjust but it’s also uncomfortable as it cut into the user’s neck and shoulders while simultaneously becoming a major snag hazard on surrounding equipment. The GMT sling uses a custom double locking buckle interface designed and manufactured specifically for this application from durable and rust free glass-filled nylon. This adjuster provides consistent tension when both tightening and loosening the sling. Once set, it doesn’t move until you want it to. Over two years in the design and development phase, this adjuster is the heart of the GMT sling. Pull on the tail to tighten, grasp and pull the spherical release knob to loosen. A sewn in stop at the end of the tail keeps the sling from coming apart and releasing your weapon.
