PSA: Do not store your older generation mags loaded
So I just joined the club! Picked my green scorpion up yesterday.
In keeping with the Holiday Spirit - "Now I Have a Machine Gun! Ho! Ho! Ho!"
From reading this thread it seems that single point sling is the way to go? I'm firmly in the 2-point world so a little out of my element. Will a 2-point work? What single point is working well? V-Tac? Vickers?
I went ahead an ordered a SB Brace despite looming "non-legislative legislation" as well as the HB Industries safety delete and trigger spring kit.
I ended up going with a two point adjustable sling for my APC9 after talking about it with @HCM. I’m mostly familiar with the VTAC and VCAS slings but decided to try the Edgar Sherman Designs sling after HCM had good things to say about it. Plus the shorty PCC is much lighter than any of my ARs have been when fully kitted out so I was willing to give an thinner, non-padded sling a try. ESD was blowing out the gen 1 slings for $30-$35 so I picked one up. As far as I can tell the only difference between the 1.0 and the current generation, called the ESD sling, is that the elastic band that lets you tuck the sling in for storage has a little pull tab that makes tucking the excess in easier. It looks like a snow pattern 1.0 sling is still in stock for $35. I like it a lot so far. The pull tab is easy to find and grab onto. It functions the same way as a VTAC or VCAS: pull towards you to loosen and push away to tighten.

Question regarding the forward hand stop on the EVO3. I tend to use a "thumb forward" grip on a rifle. When handling my scorpion and dry firing (have yet to get it to the range) I am noticing that my thumb will rest along side the flash hider slightly. This has me concerned that it might be hit by gasses from the gun when fired similar to using such a grip on a revolver. Has anyone experienced this? Other than concentrate on keeping my thumb away from the muzzle any other suggestions?

I put a TLR-7 on as a handstop myself.
