Description
Edgar Sherman Design built the ESD Sling the way most good gear gets made: field time, hard testing, and a pile of feedback from folks who actually run rifles. What you end up with is a no-frills 2-point that skips the features nobody uses and nails the ones that matter. It rides on 1-inch webbing, which keeps friction low so the sling glides across your body and gear instead of dragging when you transition from carry to ready.
What Sets the ESD Sling Apart
The heart of this thing is the dual adjustment setup. There's a rear section giving you 20-plus inches of range to dial in fit around your body, your plate carrier, or a heavy winter layer, and it'll fit users up to around seven feet tall. Up front, the quick-adjust pull tab lets you cinch tight or loosen off on the fly with one hand, and it moves smooth in both directions so you're not wrestling it mid-string. The updated elastic regulator keeps the webbing from twisting or jamming while you work the adjustment.
Running the Flecktarn ESD Sling
One of the sharper touches is the self-stowing design. The pull tab lets the sling fold back on itself and tuck against the side of your rifle without unclipping anything, which is handy for vehicle work or packing a gun into a case. It's a genuinely lightweight build, so it disappears on the rifle until you need it. Open ends with a tri-glide on each side mean you attach it however you like, and it plays nice with most 1-inch swivels.
The Flecktarn colorway carries the classic German spot camo pattern in a matte finish, which breaks up nicely in the woods and pairs well with just about any setup. It's a solid match for AR-15s, sub-guns, shotguns, hunting rifles, bolt actions, and PDW-style platforms. Made in the USA with reinforced stitching, this is a sling you set up once and forget about.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ESD Sling come with mounting hardware or swivels?
No, the sling ships on its own with no mounting hardware included. It has open ends with a tri-glide on each side, so you can add whatever attachment method your rifle needs. It's built to work with most standard 1-inch sling swivels or QD adapters.
What size platforms does the Flecktarn ESD Sling work with?
It's a versatile 2-point that fits a wide range of long guns, including AR-15s, sub-guns, shotguns, hunting rifles, bolt actions, and PDW-style setups. The rear section gives over 20 inches of adjustment, so it can fit users up to around seven feet tall and accommodate everything from a t-shirt to a plate carrier.
How does the self-stowing feature work on the ESD Sling?
The quick-adjust pull tab lets you fold the sling back onto itself so it tucks against the side of your rifle. You don't have to remove it from the gun to stow it, which is useful for vehicle work or slipping the rifle into a case. The elastic regulator holds it neatly against the webbing until you're ready to deploy again.
Is the 1-inch webbing comfortable for long carry?
The slim 1-inch width is designed to reduce friction so the sling slides smoothly across your body and gear during transitions. It won't have the padding of a wider two-inch sling, but the lightweight design and low-drag profile make it comfortable for extended hands-free carry. Many folks run these across multiple rifles for exactly that reason.
