The Savotta Griffin Sling is a family of effective, simple, and reliable two-point slings with rapid adjustment. Available in three weight options for various small arms from submachine guns and PDWs to sniper rifles and machine guns. Named after a mythical creature or Family Guy, we're not sure.
This is the most universal MW version. The Griffin Slings in three weight options (LW, MW, and HW) were originally designed for a military client with specific requirements for a 2-point rapid adjustment sling. Conveniently, these requirements also describe the slings in a nutshell:
- Wide, padded section to distribute the weight of heavier firearms (MW and HW only)
- The adjustment buckle moves forward for lengthening the sling
- Compatible with various sling mount hardware
- Reliable and easy to use in adverse conditions and lowered cognitive state (freezing cold, sleep deprivation, winter gloves, NVG's that prevent seeing anything at arm's length...)
Simple and effective features
The MW has some padding which most users will prefer with ordinary rifles and carbines.

RAPID ADJUSTMENT SLIDER
The heart of the Griffin Sling is Savotta's proprietary rapid adjustment slider. Quick and effortless adjustment provides easy transitions between carry-shoot-carry etc. in all conditions. The world is full of sling adjustment buckles and most of them are pretty good too. Savotta chose to design their own adjustment hardware due to these simple reasons:
- It should be solid metal without any moving parts
- It should have proper serrations and protrusions for gripping
- It must be be grip tab compatible for use with winter handwear
- And it should preferably be made in Finland
If you hate the webbing grip tab more than Karl Lagerfeld hates everything, you can cut it off. The serrated sides and solid pull-tab loop offer good grip as is.
