Outdoor connection express sling - The Outdoor Connection Express Sling 2

I have several of these. There is nothing special about them unless you're a serious ounce-counter or just appreciate silence and simplicity. Bottom line: you can not get a lighter, quieter sling with webbing as comfortable as this for any price, let alone twelve bucks.

The Brute swivels on here are just about as quiet as you can get and are a third of the weight of steel 2-piece swivels. They are some kind of nylon construction and yes, I have had them break in the past, but even cracked they are serviceable until you get out of the field (I have never had one completely fail). They are not QD and the sling itself does not have a quick adjustment feature, but I find the webbing the perfect length to set-and-forget with no adjustment needed to go from over the shoulder carry to slung up for a shot with my arm through the loop, so in my case there's no need for a quick adjust or quick detach feature on this sling.

Even with 1.25" webbing, the Express 2 weighs in at 2.47 ounces... Compared to a VTAC 2-point sling it is almost five ounces lighter. The next closest lightweight sling I have is an S.O.Tech Cheetah with 1" webbing and even it weighs 3.96oz with Titan swivels and that sling makes more noise and cuts into my shoulder more quickly than this one.
