Blue Force Gear RED Swivel Gen 2, Black 1.25″

The Blue Force Gear RED Swivel Gen 2 (brand part no. RED-125) in Black is a true emergency quick-release swivel that lets a shooter free themselves from a sling in a hurry. Short for Rapid Emergency Detachment, it replaces a standard push-button sling swivel and fits any standard push-button socket, sockets inset in popular handguards and stocks, the Burnsed Socket, or a rail-mounted push-button socket. It releases with a straight pull on the sphero-conical knob rather than the fine-motor push-pull motion of a standard push-button swivel, needing only about 7 pounds of force to install or release, while a pull of more than 15 degrees off axis will not release the connection, minimizing accidental disconnects if the sling catches on a vehicle, doorway, gear, or brush. The 1.25″ size is intended for wider sling webbing such as 1.5″ webbing.
