What Is a Leather Gun Sling? A Beginner’s Guide to Rifle, Shotgun, and AR Slings

Why Leather Gun Slings Matter More Than You Think

A leather gun sling is more than a strap. It keeps your rifle or shotgun secure, supports accurate shooting, and frees your hands during long walks or field use. Whether you carry a hunting rifle, a tactical AR, or a classic lever gun, the right sling improves comfort and control.

The Core Purpose of a Gun Sling

Every sling—leather or synthetic—exists to do three things: help you carry your firearm safely, stabilize your aim, and keep the gun ready without strain. Leather slings stand out because they grip clothing naturally, soften with use, and last for years.

Different Types of Leather Gun Slings

1. Traditional Leather Strap Slings

The oldest and simplest style. One continuous strap with adjustment holes and a buckle. Ideal for hunters and lever-gun owners who prefer a classic look and reliable carry.

2. Two-Point Leather Slings

The most versatile sling style. One end connects near the stock, the other near the barrel. This setup balances the firearm, improves stability, and works on nearly every rifle, shotgun, or AR platform. A full guide on two-point slings is available below.

3. Single-Point Leather Slings

Popular for AR-style rifles or close-range work. These slings attach at a single mounting point, giving fast movement and shoulder transitions. They are not meant for long-distance carry but excel in quick engagement drills.

How to Choose the Right Sling for Your Firearm

First consider how you use your firearm. Hunters and long-distance walkers prefer two-point or traditional strap slings for comfort. Tactical shooters or anyone practicing quick transitions may prefer single-point setups. Always pair the sling with sturdy swivels or QD mounts that match your firearm.

Which Leather Sling Should You Start With?

If you’re new to slings, start with a two-point leather sling. It offers the best balance of comfort, control, and versatility across all firearms—from bolt-action rifles and shotguns to AR platforms.

Leather Belts

Real Leather Belts For Men Who Take Their Gear Seriously

Most belts you see online are plastic with a fake grain printed on top. They look good in photos, then crack, peel, and sag in a few months. Our belts are built for men who are done with that. Thick, genuine leather, solid hardware, and a fit that feels like it was made for you.

Built For Work, Range, and Everyday Carry

Whether you’re carrying a sidearm, running a ranch, or heading into the office, your belt should feel the same: solid, reliable, and ready for years of use. These belts are cut from real leather, not bonded scraps, so they hold shape, support weight, and break in with character instead of falling apart.

Why This Belt Feels Different

  • Full-grain or top-grain leather only – no PU, no bonded junk, no cardboard core.
  • Serious thickness – built to carry, not just to decorate your waist.
  • Solid buckle hardware – made to handle real tension and daily use.
  • Edges hand-finished – burnished and smoothed so they don’t fray or fuzz.
  • Breaks in, doesn’t break down – each month of wear adds character, not damage.

What you see is what you wear. No bonded hides, no PU topcoat, no pressed leather. Every belt here is genuine leather from the surface to the core.

The Man Behind The Belt

This brand was built around one simple idea: gear should outlast trends. We’ve spent years working leather, testing thicknesses, tweaking hole spacing, and tuning the balance between comfort and support. The result is a belt that feels overbuilt on day one and better every day after.

Choose Your Style, Keep The Substance

Dress, Western, everyday carry, or work belt – the style may change, but the rules don’t. Real leather, honest construction, and a promise that we will never quietly switch to fake material just to cut costs. If you’re tired of belts that lie to you, start here.
