That cheap sling I bought at the drugstore rides up to the elbow becomes useless. Does this one stay put?

Yes this sling was perfect! It has a little loop for you to put your thumb in so it keeps it from riding up. It also has a pouch inside if you want to carry money etc. Very comfortable!

It stayed in place for the most part... It was the best one I had, and I used several of them...

I'm betting you can--if the surface is clean when you stick it on--it is stuck GOOOOD. Love my sling thing!!!

I have not used it on the product in question. The sling is small and I bought two. The sling fits on the side of the stroller and is great extra storage. I can fit a small bucket and a bottle of water in the slung with no issues. Because the sling is on the side of the stroller, convenient access.

I think the cotton canvas would be better?! But it is really about preference. I prefer the cotton canvas because the sling stays beneath me at night and the cotton canvas doesn't make me sweat.

JME is correct. The pins on the sling are a permanent feature and not changeable. The studs that accommodate this sling are usually screwed into a wood stock. I bought them separately for my rifle. Hope this helps you Randy.

I can't comment on it's comfort. Haven't used it in the field. This sling was put on a Maverick 88 so that my hands would be free if needed. Seems secure enough for this.

This may be a second response, the sling provided with the lift is solid with loops at the top, middle, bottom, all color coded based on length. The top portion of the sling is curved,Mai used a magic marker and wrote TOP. The lower portion of the sling is solid and folds between the legs, it is very safe it is impossible for the person to slip out. AMAZON does carry other style slings that can be purchased. I hope my response is helpful.

I haven't had an issue with it folding over at all. Not sure if that's because it is more rigid, or because it's not large enough for that to happen. The issue I have had with it is that velcros tightly, but not tight enough to keep it from slipping. If I don't move it stays in place but if I am moving around a lot it tends to slide. I think it can easily be fixed with a diy rig or tape, but I haven't tried that yet.

Hi there.I bought this product as a bare-essential sling but definitely prefer this over the 'factory' strap around the neck. I'm no product expert so I would have to suggest contacting the manufacturer directly. I feel as long as the nylon strap doesn't show any fatigue or wear, it should be good. I did feel like I had to give the piece that screws into the tripod mount a little "umph" but that may have been me being a little over cautious. However, the most weight I've used the metro strap in combination with is a 5d mk ii/70-200mm/430exii with out any glitches thus far...Hope this helps in some way.

As stated earlier it is long enough to wraps around your forearm so you can use it with the hasty sling technique. It is mainly a cheap (but fairly well made) sling that is made to have the original military look for soviet style rifles that didn't get shipped with a sling. I own an original mosin nagant sling that is in good condition and this sling is at least as good as that, but it doesn't compare to my sling from k-var (arsenal).

Bummer you didn't get your sling. Any sling will do if it uses swivel studs. Hope this helps.

I wear mine on my forearm and it stays put fine. I took a measurement, and with the Velcro attached to about an inch overlap, it should easily fit as much as 17-inch biceps with a bit of stretch.

Well I have a high waist and don't want it to look like I am wearing it under my chest. I am trying for sling. Will let you know how I like it.

The 20g shells are not tight enough in the sling. Bouncing around (running) may cause 20g to fall out.

This has a thumb loop. In fact there is a thumb loop on both sides, so regardless of which arm you're rehabbing or the adjustment of your sling, there's a way to keep your thumb from getting fatigued.

I dug it out and looked at the tag. I have the ultimate arm sling by Joplin orthodox gear and it has a thumb loop. It really made a difference.

I've had no issues with that, but I don't carry on a sling. I will say that; If I unlatch it and release without pulling it back, it will automatically latch again. Both handles are spring loaded and the buffer spring holds this in the forward position via the bolt carrier, so, I would see no issue with unlatching. I will say that this is an awesome piece and anyone that has checked it out at the range also really likes it.
