I have a wide selection of slings, and a wide selection of guns.

L85- I use a 3point.. this weapon operates on the right side, cocking, and ejection( NA) for airsoft.. so the three point does not get in the way. and it supports the gun perfectly due to it's bullpup configuration. You can't fire this gun left handed.. so transition to weak side are not an issue

With any other gun I have found the three point to have too many liabilities.

For CQB.. single point is king, in my opinion. I run a Magpul sling.. so I can go to 2 point if I want to securely stow the weapon on week side back.

For field, a conventional 2 point.. the only time I sling is for out of contact carry .. or if I am out of ammo on the primary.

I typically carry my secondary in a M4 mag pouch.. on the strong side .. I run chest rigs .. so the pistol is high on the body under the right arm.. but not so high that I can't get it out.

alternatively.. if running a belt rig. the pistol goes on right flank on the belt.

When carrying 2 point.. I run muzzle up.. to deploy Reach back grab the neck of the stock.. pull the gun back and away to free the sling from your shoulder and let it's weight pull the muzzle down.. then pull your strong hand forward .. the gun will flip, and end up with the pistol grip in your hand .. pointing forward. with some practice you can go from slung to 2 rounds down range in less than 2 seconds.
