I used to buy the cheap Uncle Mikes 72" and trim them to my desire. They were less than $10, a shoulder handle. Great for hunting handguns. At my local dealer they are now $25. The sliders are made of plastic too.
Many may be already doing this but I hope it may help someone. I find on the net I can buy bulk heavy webbing (even titty pink Denning!) for less than $10 for like 30 feet! The steel sliding adjusters are (4) for $5. A $15 investment and I have (2) custom slings and enough material for (2) more for a total of $5 (another adjuster pack of 4).
That is (4) custom slings for 20% less than what store bought costs and no 11% local sales tax. Cripes, why are things so difficult today. I just want to walk into my local dealer and pay $15 for a US made steel quality product. I have to go make my own. If he had the vision he would be doing this himself and I'd have given him a handsome profit to prevent my trouble. FWIW.

All I wanted was a couple simple nylon slings...
