The Blue Force Gear Vickers 221 Padded Sling (brand part no. VCAS-2TO1-RED-200-AA-BK) adds a padded rear section to the instant-conversion 221 platform, giving shooters comfort on long carries without losing the ability to switch to 1-point in a moment. Built from Invista solution-dyed Cordura with ITW GhilleTex Acetal hardware, it adjusts from 57″ to 67″ and weighs roughly 0.55 lb. The RED (Rapid Emergency Detachment) swivel near the muzzle is machined from phosphate-coated steel with stainless internals; pulling its sphero-conical knob and reseating it in the rear Burnsed Socket converts the sling from 1-point back to 2-point mode and back again. It is built for any weapon with two QD sling swivel sockets, with the rear socket toward the end of the receiver, and suits shooters who spend extended time slung up from Blue Force Gear.
