Abstract: A gun sling in the nature of an elongated, flexible strap, worn over one shoulder of the user, has a front end portion which depends from the shoulder and is provided with a buttonhole for coupling with a stud mounted on the gun. A rear end portion of the strap extends downwardly at an angle from the shoulder along the back of the torso to a waistbelt worn by the user. A ring connected to the rear portion receives an S-clip which hooks over the waistbelt. Consequently, the shotgun in the carrying position is supported substantially by the strap yet may be easily and rapidly shifted to a firing position wherein the strap hangs in loose, non-binding relationship to the gun without detachment therefrom.
