No sir but you have my attention. I like the design. I've only seen one other design like that but no one seems to be carrying it. I can't remember the name of the make though.

You are probably thinking of the Viking Tactics two-point sling. The version I have on my 15 Sport is the VTAC-MK1.

I don't like slings. They get in the way and get caught on stuff as you move. So, I avoid them if possible.
Sometimes they do provide a necessary service though.
I have used a couple of single point slings. They tend to put a lot of weight on your neck. If you're going to be carrying the gun all day, consider a 2 point instead. They spread some of the weight out over your back. For longer periods I find this better.
I have a Magpul MS1. It will cost a little more, but the one hand adjustment feature is first rate. Being able to adjust it with one hand is really handy when going from moving to shooting.
I also have a Magpul MS3. The one hand adjustment is better on the MS1.

A caution for those new AR-15 enthusiasts who want to buy a single point sling. Unless you are chest rig/plate carrier (that has lots of full pouches mounted to it) to keep the rifle away from your body a bit, a single point sling can potentially become a nut busting pendulum. Trust me on this one. This is pain you want to avoid.
I'm not saying that single point slings are bad. They're good. I have them on my rifles. I just caution the new AR-15 enthusiast to be mindful so they don't get their junk jammed.
