PDWs...and other small arms.

Sounds like you were rocking an old school 3 point sling. This is were the one point sling comes in handy. You essentially just let the rifle hang while you dispose of the target.

If you have time to do a visual check, safe the rifle, and swing it behind you, you have time to get to cover.

Yo Cory:

Yes -- 3 point sling. This procedure was primarily for CQB. One point sling had its drawbacks too -- like flapping around and not quite fitting right so when they hung down, the barrel barely cleared the ground, or worse. Won't debate slings because that is like debating religion. I appreciate the advantages that both offer. Never could find one that I really liked.

However I will say that no matter the sling, it is still easier and faster to swap out mags than to go through this drill.
