Overview

The Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling (VCAS) is the original quick-adjust two-point sling that revolutionized rifle carrying and fighting techniques. Developed with Larry Vickers, this sling bridges the critical gap between comfortably transporting a rifle and instantly deploying it for combat use. The unpadded version is the choice for shooters who prioritize minimal bulk and weight, or those running body armor that provides its own cushioning.

The patented Quick Adjuster is the heart of the VCAS design, allowing users to instantly lengthen or shorten the sling with one hand while maintaining control of the weapon. Pull to tighten for secure carry, push to loosen for shooting - the intuitive operation becomes second nature within minutes. The 1.25-inch Invista Cordura webbing is thinner than the padded version but still provides excellent durability and load-bearing capability.

The majority of Vickers Slings shipped to the US military feature the nylon hardware version, which lies flatter against the body and eliminates the possibility of scratching optics or accessories. The metal hardware option provides additional strength for users who prefer the confidence of machined aluminum and phosphated steel. Either configuration delivers the same battle-proven performance that has made the VCAS the standard against which all other quick-adjust slings are measured.
