Had someone said “we are going to add a cobra bucke to a two-point skin GL I’d have thought “well that’s goddamn stupid”, but seeing it in pictures and the way they implemented it, I don’t mind it as much as I’d have thought I would.
That said, I’m not sure I get the point. They seem to want to market it as a way to move the sling from gun to gun, something I’ve been doing for years. I just simply install QD sockets on all the guns and move the sling around that way.
I *suppose* that moving the sling to non-AR-based rifles may make adding QD sockets harder, but that seems kind of a stretch to me.
And, by the time you absorb the cost for a pair of cobra buckles, at what point does it not just make more sense to buy more slings (particularly some of the cheep-ohs that have been posted in this thread) and leave them with the gun?
Finally, funnily enough, they suggest that the cobra buckle would allow for quick release if the gun was caught on something. Pretty sure that the last time I checked, cobra buckles were made such that they couldn’t be released when under tension? Like, that’s their whole jam? Maybe this is a different variant?
