Specter Gear 6 Round Shotshell Loop Enhanced, Universal Fit, SOP 3 Point Sling Multiple Options — 6 models

Our Special Operations Patrol (SOP) 3 Point Tactical Sling allows your shotgun to hang hands-free in the Off Side Drop carry position should a secondary weapon transition be called for. It allows for Patrol Ready and simple over the shoulder carry positions as well.

When we designed the SOP sling our intent was to produce the ultimate tactical patrol sling design, incorporating every positive feature suggested to us by end users as well as addressing, and solving, every negative issue relating to conventional 3 point sling designs that we had identified.

Since it's introduction into the marketplace, the SOP Sling has been called the next evolutionary step in 3 point tactical sling design. Here are a few reasons why and how it differs from our standard CQB Slings.

To begin with 1.5" wide webbing is used for the sling strap. It's exactly the same type of webbing used on our CQB Slings except for being wider. The purpose of the 1.5" width is to better distribute the weight of the weapon.

The next difference has to do with how the sling attaches to the weapon. We feel that a good sling design should work with the weapon, not against it. Conventional 3 point slings that are solidly attached to the side of the weapon don't hang well in anything but the Off Side Drop carry mode and have a tendency to bind up and limit efficient movement of the weapon during positional shooting. So, for the SOP Sling, we chose flexible 1" attachment straps to be used at each end of the sling to interface with the mounting adapter sling loops or sling swivels. The 1" straps move, shift and conform within the sling loops to allow the SOP Sling to move more efficiently with the weapon thus enhancing free movement of the weapon and allowing the weapon to hang in a more vertical orientation while being used in the Military Patrol Ready carry mode.

Those are all great features. However, the feature that sets this sling apart from any other is the Transition Release Buckle (TRB). The TRB allows the sling to be quickly and efficiently extended to instantly create slack that allows for easy left/right shoulder transitions. This feature addresses a common complaint associated with conventional 3 point tactical sling designs. With those types of slings it's very difficult, if not impossible in some cases, to execute a cross shoulder transition. This creates a serious problem in an urban environment.

With the TRB feature the sling can be used exactly like a conventional 3 point design, allowing all of the same carry options. However, when the need to cross shoulder transition is anticipated, simply flip the TRB release with the non firing hand thumb and the 3rd point of the sling is silently released to slide freely along the sling allowing you to extend and mount on the opposite shoulder. The sling, however, is still attached and still functional allowing you to "let it hang" should a secondary weapon transition be called for.

When the time comes to re-lock the TRB, it can done so quickly, silently, and with just one hand needed, allowing the shooter to maintain a constant firing grip on the weapon. The TRB can also be locked in wherever the shooter finds it comfortable. This feature allows for convenient expansion and contraction of the sling's body loop as the operator's mission profile changes and more, or less, load bearing equipment is worn.

If you require the ability to completely release the sling from your body, the Emergency Release Buckle (ERB) feature is available on this sling as an optional feature.

When it comes to shotguns, on gun ammunition storage is a very good thing to have. Sidesaddles, buttstock shell holders and pouches have been around for a long time and are proven to be very useful products.

Now there is a new way to add some on gun ammo storage; the Specter 6 Round Shotshell Loop Enhanced SOP 3 Point Sling.

What we have done is taken our proven SOP sling and added six (6) heavy duty elastic shell loops just behind the transition release buckle. Critical spare ammo is now conveniently located close to your loading hand and loading port without adding excessive weight to the sling and retaining all of the positive features of a 3 point tactical sling.

As with our other slings, our SOP Slings use the highest quality materials and are stitched on heavy duty industrial machines using mil-spec #69 nylon thread. Realizing the needs of our end users we ensure strict quality control standards and have over engineered these slings to deliver long term performance under harsh conditions.

Note: No front or rear attachment adapters are provided with the #871 SOP Sling. You must have some form of side mounted front and rear sling loops/swivels for this sling to mount to.

As with all Specter Gear products, SOP 3 Point Slings are proudly made in specialized factories!
