The Gear Sector GS-3P.

As a 3 point. Notice the position of the strip of webbing with the Gear Sector logo and the tri glide at the end of it on the long section of web.

Close-up of the sliding tab (a reinforced strip of webbing with the Gear Sector logo on it) with triglide. The assembly is moving to the rear sling point so that the sling will form a single point sling. This is done be simply grabbing the reinforced webbing (where the logo is) with the support hand and "zipping" it to the rear.

This is what the sling looks like (almost) as a single point. When the zipstrip/sliding tab is all the way to the rear and against the rear sling point the 3 point is transformed to a single point.

And here it is as a single point. From this position you can shoulder shift, go prone, or do whatever you want to do with a single point. When you want to go back to a 3 point for retention, grab the zipstrip and push it back forward.

I've been working this out on my SPX, which is rather long for the GS-2P, even with an Agency Adapter. With the GS-3P there is plenty of room.
I'll be trying this out on a rifle and carbine as well, but the 930 was going to the most difficult long to make a 3 point work with so I tried it first.
I'll have a more in-depth review up in the next week or two.
Jason is making me eat my words on 3 points with the sling.

As pointed out above, the prototypes of our GS-3P have made it to the hands of our T&E personnel. :P

Hopefully, we can get the others to chime in once they have had a chance to wring it out. Based on preliminary feedback,
I don't see any design changes pending which means we should be able to get these into production straightaway.

We need to get a short video of the 3P in action so people can see the benefits first hand.

All the retention of a standard 3 point sling coupled with the freedom of movement found only in a 1 point.

All I'm going to say for now is that this thing is awesome. More to come...
