We're still ONLY using captive release cords and they can be temperamental.

Sliding finger loop.
I've gone up to 2 fingers for really heavy stuff.
A sliding finger loop has a lot of advantages over a non-slidung loop.

As it doesn't move, it won't rub or chafe.
It won't come off, seen plenty of people with a fixed loop throw their whole sling.

And if you use soft leather, it's also really comfortable.

And one loop fits any finger.

Never understood why anyone would ever use a fixed loop.
