Blue Force Gear – ULoop

Blue Force Gear put together this announcement for their ULoop weapon sling attachment system. Be sure to check out our SHOT Show coverage, as we’ll be covering the ULoop and other fine products from Blue Force Gear and other manufacturers.

Sling hooks and clips are on borrowed time! The world no longer has to tolerate loud, jangly sling attachments, hooks that eat up aluminum and plastic eyelets, or hardware pieces that take too long to attach and remove. With the Patent Pending ULoop finally on the scene, the hook and clip extinction event has begun.

The ULoop brings a level of versatility that is unmatched by any other sling hardware. Development code named the “Uber Loop,” it is a quick-detach version of our popular Universal Wire Loop, offering even faster and easier installation, especially on smaller eyelets found on HK, SIG and FN Weapons. The ULoop can be installed almost anywhere – through eyelets, holes in railed handguards, and on KeyMod rails.  There’s no need to have multiple sling attachments. The ULoop replaces all hooks, clips and connections.

    I bought one and can not get it installed on my Arsenal with the Arsenal quad rail’s eyelet. There is not enough room between the eyelet and the front of the rail to squeeze the end of the Uloop through it.

    Bummer.

    But the other thing I found disappointing is the plastic “hardware” on the sling.

    I felt like it was a piece of Airsoft gear.

      I think the days of complaining about something being “plastic” instead of metal are over. Ahem…. Glock.

      Seems to me the polymer is lighter, quieter, won’t mar the weapon and rust proof. Get back to me when it fails and then we can have a valid discussion.

      My BF Gear sling (the quick adjust kind) had plastic hardware and I used it hard for over 6 years. Never wore out. Just cover it with some hundred mile an hour tape if you’re worried about the tension coming undone.

    Thanks for the feedback! Just FYI, we have more than 250,000 of our Vickers Slings in use with the Army and Marine Corps (it is the official issue sling of the USMC). They are all made with the same Dupont glass filled Nylon 6/6 and we’ve had no durability issues to date. For those that still prefer our metal slings you can find those here:

    After you chose your color select metal hardware in the drop down menu.

    Cheers,
