User Determined Connection
A Single Point To Rule Them All
Always Better® | June 19th, 2025
Blue Force Gear is known for their legendary two-point slings like the Vickers Sling and the GMT Sling, but one that deserves more limelight is the UDC Sling – a single point sling with just the right amount of padding and bungee. The UDC (User Determined Connection) Padded Bungee Single Point Sling stands out from others on the market because it’s a purpose-built sling with everything you could want in a 1-point sling and nothing that you don’t.
The UDC Sling is thoughtfully designed to approach comfort without sacrificing functionality. It incorporates 2-inch inline padding that mirrors the comfort level found in other BFG padded slings. This substantial padding ensures that extended wear over body armor or during long training sessions remains comfortable, eliminating the hot spots and pressure points that plague lesser slings.
The integrated bungee sections were deliberately engineered to only travel approximately 2 inches – a sweet spot that provides just enough give to absorb shock from rapid movements and weapon transitions while maintaining weapon control. This measured approach prevents the excessive sagging that can lead to facial injuries or interfere with rapid deployment, a common problem with over-engineered bungee systems.

Versatile Sizing and Quick Release Capability
The UDC Sling's adjustability makes it suitable for a wide range of users and configurations. With an adjustment range spanning 35 to 55 inches in circumference, the sling accommodates everything from lightweight plate carriers to bulky winter gear. The ambidextrous design ensures smooth operation regardless of your shooting preference, while the overall length adjustment allows for fine-tuning based on your specific setup and mission requirements.
The Push Button Swivel Adapter
For many users, the ability to remove a slung weapon is crucial. The UDC Sling comes with four quick release options, offering the widest variety of attachment capabilities possible. The Push Button Swivel Adapter seamlessly integrates with the push-button QD sockets commonly found on receivers, end plates, stocks, and aftermarket adapters. The spring-loaded mechanism provides secure attachment with instant release capability, making it ideal for users who prioritize speed and simplicity in their setup
The Sling Snap Hook Adapter
For rifles with traditional European-style attachment points, the Sling Snap Hook Adapter offers robust compatibility with HK-style eyelets, SCAR platforms, and end plates featuring eyelet loops. This adapter comes complete with an elastic hook cover that prevents accidental snagging and protects the hook mechanism from debris – a thoughtful addition that demonstrates BFG's attention to real-world operational concerns.
The Strap Adapter
The Strap Adapters provide universal compatibility with legacy systems and custom installations. These adapters work seamlessly with standard sling swivels, loops, and separate sling hardware, making them perfect for older rifle platforms or custom builds that don't conform to modern QD standards. This ensures that even vintage or specialized firearms can benefit from the UDC system's advanced design.
The ULoop™ Adapter
Finally, the ULoop Adapters offer the ultimate in mounting flexibility. Designed to fit through holes in handguards, KeyMod systems, eyelets, and other locations where traditional snap hooks might be used, these adapters open up mounting possibilities on various rifle systems. This versatility is particularly valuable for users running lightweight or specialized handguard systems where traditional mounting points may be limited. Watch this video for more details on the ULoop.
The BFG UDC Padded Bungee Single Point Sling represents a mature approach to single-point sling design. For shooters who demand both performance and versatility from their gear, the UDC Sling offers a compelling solution that grows with your needs and adapts to your equipment. This sling system provides the foundation for fast, comfortable, and reliable weapon management.
