| are they safe? i got 1 today and got home n discovered it has plastic buckles. i never had much faith in plastic under a load. might use it on 1 of my less liked guns to see how it holds up .it would be real bad if a diana or wilrauch hit the dirt from a plastic buckle. i always like a sling on any rifle i have |

For what it's made for I think the gun buddy is brilliant. A way to put a ready sling on the difficult to sling plastic stocked springer.
I have one and I've kicked the crap out of it toting a phantom that has the cavity filled with lead shot. It's 10.5 pds....so far so good 
Probably the most reasonable least hyped thing Gamo has ever made
Shhhhh....don't tell the kiwi I said that
I wouldn't worry about Fastex buckles. There was lots of them on my combat gear and I never had or saw one fail |

| Ya the Stoeger's are expensive because they are actually premium line H&N's |

I've had a Gamo Gun Buddy on my Falcon for a while. I put it on back when they first came out and I haven't had any problem with it.
That's it in the back. |

Busted, SMP!!! (just kidding) I myself know there are alot of people out there who aren't really Gamo fans  But it's all good. I had one of those slings on my now sold Silver Shadow. And I agree with the above comment, very stong and did the job well. Recommended |
