The 2 To 1 Point Triglide allows you to rapidly convert your new or existing Two Point Sling into a One Point Sling, on the run, when extra maneuverability is required and then back to a Two Point for extra stability or when carrying the weapon. The 2 To 1 Point Triglide allows you to leverage the best of both sling types. No longer are you required to purchase a specialized, purpose built convertible sling, which use d-rings and noisy, rattly hooks or special clips to enjoy the benefits of a convertible Two Point and One Point Slings. With IWC's PATENT PENDING "2 To 1 Point Triglide", you can use the sling you already own and love and transform it into a convertible sling so many training regimens promote as the optimum convertible sling system.

In order to understand why IWC designed the 2 To 1 Point Triglide, it’s important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various types of slings on the market.

A One Point Sling is so called because it only attaches to the rifle at a single point, at the rear of the lower receiver using an end plate. The One Point Sling has the advantage of allowing the rifle to transition quickly and easily to either the strong or weak side shoulder with no adjustments. They also tend to allow the operator to move to any shooting position without adjustment (like standing to prone). The main weakness of the One Point Sling is that it allows the muzzle to swing like a pendulum if the user has to take their hands off of it.

Two Point Slings attach to the rifle at 2 points; one at the front of the rifle and one at the rear. As dynamic as a properly configured Two Point Sling can be, it still can’t match a One Point Sling for maneuverability.

The 2 To 1 Point Tri-Glide allows you to reconfigure your sling as a One Point or Two Point on the fly to deal with the specific situation you’re facing, using the sling that you already own.


Thanks!

Ok, THAT is one interesting way to skin that cat! At $20 it's worth having as an option. At .20 OZ. there is minimal weight penalty for the versatility.

That's what I've been looking for, for a long time. I'll be picking up one of those to try.

I just saw this on Jerking the Trigger, very creative item. Nice work IWC, you guys are certainly keeping your ear to the ground and listening to the market. I know I plan on grabbing more of your products.

Thanks for the compliment! It's the minimum amount of material and sleekest design we could manufacture. Regarding the weight comment; IWC's 2 To 1 Point Triglide REPLACES the standard Triglide on your sling, so part count and weight are the same. The alternative used in other purpose built convertible slings, like the Emdom Gunslinger & Magpul's MS2, is to add a steel ring to function as a connection point for HK, LockJaw or Mash Hooks, adding weight. And no other product functions with a Push Button Quick Detach Sling Swivel.

Thanks for the compliment. We are scouring the boards and doing VOC at Gun Shows where we listen to customers needs and then developing components which meet these needs in very simplistic ways. The 2 To 1 Point Triglide came to be out of a need from our Team and myself. We all run VTAC Slings with Push Button QD Swivels. We wanted the benefits of a 1 point sling and a 2 point sling. Our biggest selling parts are mounts for QD swivels. After some deliberation, this is our final design. Look for more items from IWC which follow this design criteria.

I ordered it yesterday, so I'll do a full review of it in the near future.

We made loop with thin walls and shallower depth to function with HK & MASH Hooks. Since the sling is tight against your body, the hook lies flat along with the webbing, so there is no 1/4 twist. Much better than a d-ring sewn into the sling. We designed and tested this during development, so we could make one part fit 1" webbing and every connector, QD Swivel, HK & MASH Hook, without needing multiple 1" webbing components. Also... the loop is at the optimum angle for the QD Swivel, which was our main objective. There are many other ways to attach a HK or MASH Hook to a sling...

I like the look of that. Bigger is better when it comes to hole size on these to be able to click in more quickly. Smaller hole requires more precision which requires more time.

Got mine yesterday. Tried it with the Padded V-Tac and the Gear Sector GS-2P. Worked great with both. I definitely prefer the rear to be mounted to the rear using the Moveske end plate, but it works pretty well with the PWS extension tube which has the QD mounts on the side. I may just bite the bullet and get the POF Extension tube and the Noveske end plate.

You folks have a good hit here. I started using a 1 point circa 1990 that I made with mil grade bungee and a brass sailing snap ring QD. It quickly established its negatives despite its convenience. (A friend of mine held the 1st patent for a receiver end plate with ears.) Went to a 2 point and never looked back since it was a choice of 1 or the other. That paradigm now changes. Smart and simple!

Seriously... Coming from a man with your personal experience and that of your patent holding friend, your compliment means a lot.

Thank you!

The 2 To 1 Point Triglide is turning out to be a highly successful part for IWC.

We're blessed to have been inspired to create the designs.
