Sorry, can't agree. Every 3 point I've tried has an annoying habit of hanging up on LBE and rapidly becoming a general PITA.
I own several 3 points and made an honest attempt at learning to like them. Having made those attempts all of my 3 points have assumed a likely permanent position of being draped over the top of my gun safe.
I believe they're a lot like the one size fits all items offered on the home shopping channels. They succeed in doing many things poorly.
Rather than further hijacking an interesting thread I'll refrain from making additional comments.

Outbacknv, I might like to see a pic, or a link to one on line, 3 point sling that is.
I know how that feels with holsters. I have a slew of holsters for concealed carry for 1911 like guns, Govt, Kimber, etc, that just don't seem to fit me right. Some I made, some are leather, others a plastic, and they drag my belt, pull on my shirts and stick out funny seated.
My being built like a stick doesn't help either. What almost works best is simply stuffing the gun inside my pants with a snug belt, but that has a lot of problems too, for the gun's finiish , it's retention, and me.
The link works best for me. I am to rural for cable. We do have satilite here, but I don't run my pc on it. A puff of a cloud or a little snow kill that connection. It's faster when it works. Oops! spoke too soon, they have the point covered by the go arrow icon.
Ok I see the bottom of the page on the link has a still photo, and they have a mag holder on the wrong side of the cheek hold on the stock too! I shoot lefty.
Get a pocket pistol, and front pants pocket rig, and all that trouble goes away, dude. A full sized 1911 is just not a ccw gun. It takes a big man with lots of desire and discipline to always wear a Lw Commander, in fact. If you want to, you can have a pocket 9mm that delivers almost 500 ft lbs, much more than the 1911 can do if you stupidly choose 230 gr jhp's. the latter are going to slow to expand in flesh and blood. I test on animals, and I KNOW. What it does in jello is irrelevant, guys.
Any 9mm can be rechambered to 356TSW, and the .100" longer, stronger, straightwalled case will let you get 45 grs to 2200 fps, still controlable in a little pocket 9mm, 500 ft lbs, and if you make that bullet out of aluminum, it will expand or break into 3 segments just fine. Each segment will tumble, making its own wound channel, too. :-). The .45 has 350 ft lbs, but wastes about 1/3rd of that power on the far side of your attacker, due to lack of expansion of such heavy, slow bullets.
Frontiersmen carried 6 ft long, 12 lb muzzleloaders all day, along with a possibles pouch and powder horn, doing MUCH harder work, for more hours than anyone does today. You can't find a way to sling a 6 lb M4? Sheesh. Leave a hole in the fence, set a snare and/or several steel traps in front of it, presto, no more fox problem.
