This video reviews the Blue Force Gear R.E.D. Swivel, a unique Quick-Detach (QD) sling swivel designed for Rapid Emergency Detachment. Unlike traditional push-button QD swivels, the R.E.D. swivel offers a different mechanism for quickly removing a rifle sling. The reviewer highlights its utility for scenarios where the gun needs to be detached from the user or for reconfiguring sling attachment points, such as switching between a two-point and one-point sling configuration. The video also briefly mentions a Firebase CSG T-Shirt and links to the reviewer's merchandise and support pages.
