BLACKHAWK Storm Sling XT Single Point 1 25 Inch Bungee Tactical Sling Black 70GS16BK BH70GS16BK UPC 648018121128
Product Description
The BLACKHAWK!® Storm Sling XT Single Point in Matte Black (SKU: 70GS16BK / UPC: 648018121128) is an agile, single-point weapon retention system engineered specifically for close-quarters battle (CQB), vehicle deployment, and rapid shoulder-to-shoulder transitions. By anchoring at a single central point behind the receiver, the Storm Sling XT eliminates cross-chest binding and allows seamless transition between strong-side and support-side shooting positions without snags.
Constructed from 1.25-inch wide high-tensile nylon webbing, every load-bearing junction is fortified with industrial bar-tacking and box-stitching for maximum structural integrity under dynamic stress. Inside the tail section, an elliptical bungee core delivers 4 inches of controlled flex for immediate weapon punch-out, while compressed tubular nylon sheathing restricts excessive vertical bounce and protects the elastic core from UV exposure, abrasion, and environmental contaminants[cite: 1].
Engineered to adapt to changing mission profiles, the main loop adjusts effortlessly from 46 inches to 64 inches in diameter to fit over plate carriers, chest rigs, or heavy outerwear[cite: 1]. Dual heavy-duty side-release buckles enable rapid emergency weapon jettison or modular detachment, while an elastic cover sleeve shields the forward attachment clip to eliminate metallic noise and prevent receiver finish wear[cite: 1].
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Compatible with AR-15, M4, AR-10, pistol-caliber carbines (PCC), and tactical shotguns outfitted with a rear receiver end-plate loop, stock sling ring, or eyelet adapter. CRITICAL: This sling utilizes a clip/loop mounting interface and will NOT plug directly into recessed Push Button QD sockets without a separate QD sling loop adapter. Ensure the elastic silencer sleeve is pulled completely over the metal attachment clip to prevent receiver scratching and accidental gate actuation against gear.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty before attaching sling hardware.
- Verify that your host receiver end plate or stock loop is properly staked/torqued and free of sharp burrs that could fray nylon webbing or damage clip hardware.
- Retract the elastic cover sleeve, open the forward attachment clip, and secure it positively through the firearm's rear single-point sling loop.
- Slide the elastic silencer sleeve back over the closed clip body so no exposed metal contacts the lower receiver or buffer tube.
- Don the sling across your support-side shoulder and adjust the tri-glide sliders within the 46" to 64" range so the firearm hangs at natural workspace height with full 4" bungee extension[cite: 1].
