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:

  1. It should be solid metal without any moving parts
  2. It should have proper serrations and protrusions for gripping
  3. It must be be grip tab compatible for use with winter handwear
  4. 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.

Installation

As this is a modern two-point sling, you don’t need to play around with numerous ends of webbing, just two. The 25 mm / 1 " webbing fits most sling swivels and mounting hardware out there. We make these with long enough webbing ends to fit around most people.

First, open up the rear webbing loop by threading the webbing end out through the steel tri-glide buckle. Loop the webbing through the sling swivel, buckle, stock, or whatever you have in the back. Rethread the webbing through the buckle and do a U-turn to lock it into place.

Next, open up the front quick adjustment webbing loop and remove the steel tri-glide entirely from the webbing. Loop the webbing through your front sling swivel or buckle, reattach the steel tri-glide, loop the webbing around the rapid adjustment slider and back through the steel tri-glide. Finish here with a U-turn as well.

Play around with different adjustment lengths for the front and rear. When you’ve found the suitable setting, you can roll and tape the excess webbing ends into neat bundles. Or - if you dare - cut and burn the ends.

Description

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.

  • Wide, padded section to distribute the weight of heavier firearms (MW and HW only)
  • The adjustment buckle moves forward to lengthen 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, NVGs that prevent seeing anything at arm's length...)
  • 5-year material and workmanship warranty
  • Made in Finland 

This is the lightest LW 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. 

Simple and effective features

The LW (lightweight) is simple and low-profile as heck. It is made of 25 mm (1") webbing without padding.

  • All metal hardware (steel and aluminium)
  • Rapid adjustment slider with webbing grip tab
  • Pulling forward lengthens the sling and moves the support hand forward
  • Adjustable front rapid adjustment loop
  • A continuous piece of 25 mm (1") webbing runs through the whole sling
  • The ends of the sling form 25 mm (1") webbing loops for universal attachment
