Reverend Norris reviews his picks of why and what makes the best AR-15 sling mount on your black rifle setup.

USA –

First, let’s give appropriate consideration to the ways you can secure your sling. Then we’ll move into the primary conversation. Namely, what I think the five best AR-15 sling mounts are.

Personally, I use two mounting types, standard and QD.

Standard mounts allow your sling to be directly attached to the weapon. Their advantages are simplicity, weight, and cost effectiveness. The disadvantages are flexibility, interchangeability, and convenience. Standard mounts are typically less expensive, and they don’t require the sling to have a sling mount swivel attached. The extra part definitely makes the QD option more cost prohibitive.

The simplicity of this system is an advantage in that there are fewer points in the system that can fail. As an old rock climber, this simplicity is attractive to me.

The question remains, do those advantages outweigh the system’s disadvantages? Typically, the standard sling mounting type is less flexible than other sling mounting options.
