Blue Force Gear Vickers 221 Tactical Sling Rapid Emergency Detachment RED Swivel 1 25 Inch Multiple Colors Available
Product Description
The Blue Force Gear® Vickers 221 Sling™ with Rapid Emergency Detachment (RED™) Swivel is a streamlined, 1.25-inch convertible two-point to single-point combat sling engineered for seamless transition between patrol stability and close-quarters agility. Offered across four mission-specific colorways—Black (VCAS-2TO1-RED-125-AA-BK), Coyote Brown (VCAS-2TO1-RED-125-AA-CB), Multicam Black (VCAS-2TO1-RED-125-MB), and MultiCam (VCAS-2TO1-RED-125-AA-MC)—this system integrates Blue Force Gear's molded polymer Burnsed Socket™ into the rear webbing assembly so operators can convert from a stable two-point sling to an agile single-point rig in seconds.
Manufactured in the USA to full Berry Compliant military specifications, the sling utilizes abrasion-resistant 1.25-inch Invista solution-dyed CORDURA® webbing (featuring authentic pattern-woven webbing on MultiCam and Multicam Black models) paired with glass-reinforced DuPont Zytel® nylon and ITW GhillieTex™ low-IR molded acetal hardware. At the front adjustment lead, the permanently sewn-in RED™ Swivel replaces a recessed push button with a textured stainless steel wire pull-knob, allowing effortless, positive disengagement even while wearing heavy tactical gloves, in total darkness, or under high-stress adrenaline conditions.
Spanning an overall adjustment range of 54 inches to 64 inches, the unpadded 1.25-inch profile eliminates bulk around plate carrier shoulder straps, chest rigs, and helmet chinstraps. The signature Quick Adjuster with a contrasting pull tab enables instant sling cinching or extension whether staged in two-point mode for hands-free movement or locked into the rear Burnsed Socket™ for single-point vehicle and CQB operations.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Compatible with AR-15, M4, AR-10/SR-25, PCCs, and tactical shotguns equipped with standard 0.375-inch Push Button QD sling sockets at both the forward handguard and rear receiver end plate or buttstock. CRITICAL: Because the front RED™ Swivel is permanently sewn into the webbing, this sling will NOT mount directly to traditional stamped sling loops or eyelets without an aftermarket QD adapter. Firearms with rear eyelets (such as FN SCAR, SIG MCX/MPX, or HK platforms) require Blue Force Gear's Universal Wire Loop with Push Button Socket. For optimal single-point balance during 2-to-1 conversion, anchor the rear Push Button swivel to a receiver end-plate QD socket rather than the buttstock toe so the muzzle hangs naturally at workspace level.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty before installing sling hardware.
- Inspect both the forward handguard QD socket and rear receiver end-plate QD socket for debris or burr wear, and verify smooth plunger movement on both the front RED™ Swivel and rear Push Button swivel.
- Select your desired colorway variant, depress the center plunger on the rear Push Button QD swivel (adjacent to the Burnsed Socket™), and lock it into the rear receiver end-plate socket with a firm tug test.
- Pull the stainless steel knob on the sewn-in front RED™ Swivel to retract the locking ball bearings, insert the stem into your forward handguard QD socket (for 2-point mode) or directly into the rear Burnsed Socket™ (for 1-point mode), and release to lock.
- Don the sling across your support-side shoulder, set the base length via the rear Zytel® triglides within the 54" to 64" range, and cycle the contrasting Quick Adjuster pull tab to confirm smooth transition between cinched retention and full firing stance.
