There are not many realistic sling opinions for P90 owners. By 'realistic', I'm talking about slings that are actually made for the real P90. Many of us know about the Blackhawk P90 sling, but they have stopped making it. The real Fabrique Nationale P90 slings can cost up to 120USD, way too much for just a sling. Not to mention that fact that FN slings are close to impossible to find. There is one more option airsofters have that, surprisingly, few have herd of. The P90 High Speed Transition (HST) Sling, made by CQB Solutions is the subject of this review. How it works: 'High Speed Transition' is just fancy talk for a what is really, a very normal sling. The P90 HST (High Speed Transition) sling is really just like every CQB Solutions HST sling, except for a few little things that make it work on the P90. The sling comes with what is called a 'soft mount.' The soft mount goes through the back sling hole on the P90, and the HST sling its self is strung through the soft mount- simple really. For more information on how to install the sling- go to http://www.cqbsolutions.com/hsts_install.htm Using the sling is very strait forward. As shown in the below images, all one has to do is reach for the P90 and swing it forward- that easy. Good and bad points of the sling it's self According to Lightfighter Tactical, the CQB Solutions HST sling is is constructed of heavy duty 1.25" nylon webbing which is durable, yet incredibly soft and flexible (so as not to abrade your exposed skin). One bad thing about the sling is that it is mounted to the rear of the gun. This means that mounting a suppressor (silencer) would be impossible- because every time you run or walk, the suppressor would hit your leg. Imagine putting a sling around the back of an M4A1 and just having it hang at your side- that would not work out very well. CQB Solutions P90 High Speed Transition Sling is one of the best sling options out there for airsofters with realism in mind. It even comes in Black and OD. You can pick one up today at Lightfighter for only 24.00 USD! Related websites: http://www.lightfighter.com/generic100.html
