Depending where your sling points are mounted, you can also use a ranger band in different areas of the rifle to retain it.
That's hot and has been implemented.
Ideas for quick access use? I think I've seen something with Rubber Bands but not sure if that uses a more tailor-made product

Hey guys, would my .45 acp pistol suppressor handle shooting .22LR on my AR, or would that still not end up well?
I asked about using my suppressor to shoot 5.56 in the past, and was told that it wouldn't handle the pressure and potentially explode.

But thanks lol. My suppressor is easy to take apart and clean, but I still didn't know if it would be detrimental to the suppressor.

I like T-rex sling keepers better. Rather have the stretch shock cord and fastener (where I can adjust the amount of stretch)….rubber degrades too much/fast

I looked up the one you have, that just looks like shock cord and a retention clip. You can buy a set of cord and clips to make as many as you'd want. I went with this set off Amazon ( https://a.co/d/6mZputB ) to make a new CAT retention on my chest rig. I'd imagine the shock cord and ranger band methods would be pretty similarly worn, especially with the plastic clip. Either way, if you make them yourselves both methods can be done extremely cheap and with supplies left over to use elsewhere.

when sighting in your pistol (handgun) are you guys just going the old fashioned route of by hand? Or are you using something else to take the human element out of it and getting it zero'd as close as you can? Whats techniques do you use?

ETA: I’ve gone back-and-forth over the years about whether to keep a sling on my home defense rifle. I’ve had it attached to the rifle with several different things. I have used an actual rubber band, a black cloth bungee hair tie, and what I have on there now which is one of those key holder things that goes around your wrist (I started using that because it also buffers the rifle up against the wall and doesn’t scratch the paint). lol

I bought that kit to attach another CAT to a pouch using the drainage grommets. Spiritus charges ten bucks for a CAT retention kit which gets you two pieces of shock cord and two clips. For a few bucks more I now have 48 extra clips and 60+ feet of shock cord to make whichever size retention I need. Was a no brainer.

I only have two ARs (well, I have a few others I will never shoot again and need to sell) and both are set up for "combat". As such, my HD rifle remains the same as when I take it to the range. A HD situation is one where a sling is probably needed the least, IMO. But, since I'm rocking it for the "combat" setup, I leave it as is.

As for your other question, if your can is rated for rifle rounds then it’ll shoot rifle rounds. There’s a handful of 9mm cans that are rated for 308, x39, etc so check the manufacturer’s website

I received the job offer from the Gillette branch of the company I work for. Pay raise, much better town and it has 3 outdoor ranges to shoot at. I'm looking forward to start shooting longer distances past 100 yards. Hopefully I'll be moving by the middle of March, now I need to lock down an apartment to move to.
