Reviews & Ratings for Specter Gear 2 Point Ambidextrous Tactical Rifle Sling For Remington 870 and 1187 — 3 reviews — Page 1

Just tried out the Specter Gear 2 Point Ambidextrous Tactical Rifle Sling designed for the Remington 870, and I'm genuinely impressed. The build quality is exceptional, offering both durability and comfort during extended use. One standout feature for me was the flexibility it provided; I was able to easily modify the back to work seamlessly with a swivel sling, enhancing its adaptability for my setup. The ambidextrous design is a bonus, catering to both left and right-handed shooters with ease. The adjustability and secure fit it offers to my Remington 870 are spot-on. If you're in the market for a versatile and well-crafted tactical sling, this one's a solid choice. Highly recommended

I like GG&G products and I like that Specter included one of their mounts with the sling, but I'd like an option to buy the sling with a better mount. Here is why.

For light shooting, such as one full tube magazine, it does fine with no issues.
If you take a serious shotgun class, or spend a full day shooting buckshot and slugs; your shotgun may come apart.

The cause of the issue is because the GG&G sling mount goes under the mag extension nut. It will take some space on the mag tube extension and may not leave enough thread for the magazine tube extension, and the nut, to hold itself in place after several dozen rounds of 12g pound it loose over time.

Again, for light shooing it's not a big issue. You can check and tighten the mag extension between shoots.
But be careful if you take a serious shotgun class where you shoot at least 50 to 100 rounds or more. The mag extension may screw off while shooting. It happened to me twice already. The first time I thought it was user error but I have since consulted with some knowledgeable professionals who informed me of the thread issue that I mentioned.

The function and position of the sling would have otherwise been perfect. The quick adjust feature only allows it to be loosened quickly, not tightened quickly but that's not an issue for me. Loosening the sling while keeping it around my person is more important for my applications.

This sling is awesome and good quality. Not perfect but close enough.
It fits as it should. I like that the sling is sized for specific guns with specific butt stock sizes. Although it is close to being universal size.

I don't use the quick adjust feature when shooting. I use it to adjust the sling and transition between wearing and not wearing body armor and different sizes of body armor. That feature alone is worh having.

But also it's great to have a functional combat sling that hangs on the side if the gun instead of underneath like a hunting sling.

At first, I thought the sling was overpriced but when it arrived I found out it's not. It actually comes with a good quality sling plate to mount the sling on the front and a metal sing quick adjuster. Seems fairly priced when you have it in person.

My one minor complaint is it can quick adjust tighter but its not as quick to loosen in a hurry. You have to open the quick adjust and then slide it loose.
