Tactical quick transition sling (TQT sling)

Abstract

What primarily makes this invention unique is how it is used. Most other slings wrap around the user's body causing discomfort and difficulty in transitioning the weapon to the opposite shoulder; this sling attaches to the user's tactical vest at each shoulder, allowing for maximum comfort, weight distribution, and smooth easy transitions to either shoulder. Most other slings remain attached to the weapon; this sling remains attached to the user's tactical vest, but can quickly be removed by two snaps. Most other slings attach to two points on the rifle or shotgun with a strap between the two points, causing the strap(s) of the sling to interfere with the functional operation of the weapon; this sling has a single attachment via the attachment clip with no interference of any kind. All points of attachment are designed for quick release and connection.

1 . The unique claim on this invention is to the overall design and use of the sling to primarily include: the concept of attaching the sling to the user's tactical vest versus wrapping the sling around the user's body, the ability of the weapon to remain centered or off to one side of the user's body when slung, and the use of quick and easy attachment points to include the attachment straps, quick release buckles, and attachment clips in the manner of connecting the sling to both the user's vest and weapon.
