REVIEW: Expresling Gen4 by TIGER TAILOR

A weapon sling should enable the shooter to maneuver the weapon through tight spaces, quickly switch to shooting from the opposite shoulder, have a padded part for comfortable carrying, quick and easy handling, and length adjustment. Many requirements for tactical use. The French company TIGER TAILOR has adapted to these tactical requirements of the military and law enforcement in the new generation of the Expresling. SPARTANAT has been provided with an Expresling Gen. 4 and presents it here in a review.

Special features of the Expresling Gen.4

The Expresling Gen. 4 is tested and verified for the following weapons: Hk416/417, MCX, MPX, M4A1/A2, M16, AK47/74, Steyr AUG, IMI Tavor, FNSCAR, UMP, MP5, MP7, G36, FAMAS. The weapon sling can be converted from a 2-point to a 1-point sling without disassembly. Furthermore, the sling can be easily adjusted in length, stowed, and unfolded with simple operation.

Structure

The HK hook for attachment to the weapon. If desired, the hooks can also be removed, and the Expresling Gen. 4 can be attached to the weapon with a different carrying system, whether in stock slots or on QD swivels.

The elastic rubber loops on the HK hook serve to minimize noise.

The high-quality WOOJIN® plastic parts such as ladder buckles, rectangular rings, D-rings, and buckles are used.

A robust woven polyamide webbing is used.

The adjustment ring is made of a strap with laminate. This allows it to maintain its stable shape at all times.

A 5mm thick orthopedic memory foam ensures comfortable wearing over a longer period of time.

Converting from 2-point sling to 1-point sling:

The front HK hook is positioned on a D-ring near the shoulder pad after it has been released. The Expresling Gen. 4 is converted from 2 to 1 point. The weapon does not need to be removed or set down.

The Expresling Gen. 4 then forms a loop that runs under the shooter's weak arm. The one-point mode allows for example, pulling a backpack over the weapon strap without blocking the weapon, or operating more easily in confined spaces.

It can be easily and quickly converted back into a 2-point strap. The weapon does not need to be set down for this either.

Quick packing and preparation for readiness:

The Expresling Gen. 4 can be stored directly in the adjustment ring. Convenient if the weapon is stored in a weapon bag or box, the strap does not need to be removed. This is another advantage when the strap is in the way, whether during casualty care or in a vehicle.

This strap system allows for quick deployment in emergencies.

Push the free hand under the Expresling Gen. 4 and push it outwards. The weapon-bearing hand pushes forward.

The weapon strap pulls out of the adjustment ring.

Dive through and the Expresling Gen. 4 is over the head. The rest takes care of itself quickly and easily. Simple weapon kung fu.

Loop for adjustments:

The Expresling Gen. 4 has an adjustment ring. The weapon strap is shortened or lengthened via this ring. The rounded shape allows for a secure and reliable grip with or without gloves. In poor lighting conditions or in the dark, the adjustment loop is easy to find and feel.

Without much effort, the Expresling Gen. 4 can be easily adjusted and shortened in length. The adjustment ring is large enough so that you can quickly get in and out without any effort, even in stressful situations.

My attention is focused on the target the whole time. The length adjustment works excellently without getting stuck.

Conclusion:

The strap length, the materials used, and the flat profile do not hinder the tactical transition from primary to secondary weapon.

There is nothing in the way of transitioning from a right shoulder to a left shoulder or vice versa.

With the development of the Expresling Gen. 4, TIGER TAILOR has taken a big step. The strap meets all tactical requirements. One can see that the experiences of the military and law enforcement have been incorporated and implemented. Excellent workmanship and value for money complete the overall package of the Expresling Gen. 4.

The Expresling Gen. 4 is available directly from TIGER TAILOR in Coyote, Ranger Green, Black, Sand, and Multicam® for 55 EUR. For law enforcement and military personnel, TIGER TAILOR offers a 10% discount upon successful identification.
