Equip your firearm with the Blue Force Gear RED Swivel Gen 2 1.25-Inch for reliable, rapid emergency detachment in critical situations. This patented Rapid Emergency Detachment (RED) sling swivel replaces standard push-button QD swivels with a straight-pull release mechanism designed for operators who need to free themselves from their weapon quickly and without fine motor skills.
Key Features
- Straight-pull emergency release – Approximately 7 lbs of force detaches the swivel instantly, ideal under stress, with gloves, or in low-visibility conditions.
- Accidental release protection – Sphero-conical knob and off-axis pull angle (greater than 10-15 degrees) prevent unintended detachment when snagged on gear, vehicles, or brush.
- 1.25-inch loop – Accommodates wider sling webbing such as 1.5-inch straps for enhanced compatibility with popular combat slings.
- Broad compatibility – Fits standard push-button sockets, Burnsed Sockets, and rail-mounted QD sockets on handguards, stocks, and accessories.
- Durable construction – Phosphated machined steel body, stainless steel internals, aircraft-grade cable, and four stainless ball bearings for corrosion resistance and longevity.

Why Choose the RED Swivel Gen 2
Traditional push-button swivels require precise two-finger operation that can fail when time and dexterity are limited. The RED Swivel solves this pain point with a simple, intuitive pull that works reliably in airborne, maritime, vehicular, urban, or tube-fighting scenarios. Pair it with compatible sockets or wire loops to create fast 1- to 2-point sling configurations that enhance mobility without sacrificing security.
Periodic lubrication maintains smooth performance, just like any quality QD swivel. Built for professionals who demand dependable gear, this swivel delivers peace of mind when every second counts.
