Description
The Allen Tac-Six Citadel QD Double-Point Sling is built for folks who want their rifle secure but reachable in a hurry. It runs a classic two-point setup with a pair of quick-detach swivels, so you can snap it onto your gun or pop it off without fighting hardware. That makes it handy for range days, hunting rigs, and general-purpose carry where you're switching between guns or need to break the sling down fast.
What Makes the Citadel QD Sling Tick
The standout here is the pull-tab forend adjustment. Grab the tab and give it a yank, and the sling cinches your rifle in tight against your body. Let it back out and you've got room to shoulder up and shoot. It's a simple system, but it's the kind of thing you appreciate when you're moving between a slung carry and a ready position without breaking stride. The tri-sectional fitting lets you dial the length to your frame and gear, whether you're running light or layered up.
Built to Take a Beating
Allen didn't skimp on the guts of this one. The webbing is heavy-duty and reinforced, the stitching is stout, and the hardware is made to hold up under real use rather than just looking the part. This is a sling you can leave mounted season after season without babying it.
Fitting the Citadel to Your Setup
Because it uses standard QD swivels, this sling drops right onto rifles and shotguns already cut for QD sockets, which covers most modern sporting rifles and a lot of tactical shotguns. If your firearm uses a different mounting style, it's worth checking your sockets before ordering so you know it'll seat cleanly. For AR-style rifles and QD-equipped long guns, it's a straightforward, no-drama install that gets you carrying comfortably in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Citadel QD sling work on my AR-15?
Yes, as long as your rifle has QD sling sockets, which most modern AR-style rifles do. The two quick-detach swivels snap right into standard QD cups at the front and rear. If your AR isn't already cut for QD mounts, you'd need to add QD-compatible attachment points first.
Is this a one-point or two-point sling?
The Citadel QD is a two-point sling, meaning it attaches at both a front and rear point on your firearm. That gives you stable, hands-free carry and lets the rifle hang muzzle-down along your body. The pull-tab lets you snug it up or loosen it depending on whether you're carrying or getting ready to shoot.
Can I take the sling off quickly if I need to?
That's the whole point of the QD swivels. Press the release button on each swivel and the sling pops right off the firearm in a couple of seconds, no tools needed. It's handy for cleaning, storage, or moving the sling between different guns.
How much can I adjust the length on the Citadel sling?
The tri-sectional fitting system lets you tailor the overall length to your body size and gear loadout. On top of that, the pull-tab forend adjustment gives you quick on-the-fly tightening and loosening while it's already on you. Between the two, you can get a comfortable fit whether you're running light or bundled up in cold-weather layers.
