Slings on HD Shotguns

[Emilio84]

I have been reading lots of opinions on the use of slings (single and two point) on home defense shotguns. I am setting my shotgun (rem 870 tactical 18.5bbl) up to primarily be a HD weapon and for fun at the range. I am a civilian so entry/cqb/patrol work isn't on my to-do list.

While I think it would be nice to have a sling for my time at the range I feel like a single point would end up with the barrel too close to the floor for my comfort and a two point would interfere with pumping. I also fear the sling catching on things (door handles and the like). Opinions?

Traditional two point with quick release type swivels. Take it off when you don't want it on there.

I have a two point on mine. It doesn't interfere with the pump and I have yet to catch it on anything. I wouldn't have a defensive long gun without a sling.

I feel the same way about having a sling on all defensive long guns. If for weapon retention alone. I am thinking of grabbing a gear sector ASP as the review by stickman painted it in a very good light.
