This M1 / M1928 Thompson Sling is a faithful reproduction of the canvas sling used with the Thompson Submachine Gun during World War II. Made from durable khaki/tan woven canvas, it features correctly shaped metal end fittings and adjustment hardware.

The sling is suitable for the Thompson M1928, M1, and M1A1 variants and attaches easily to the standard sling swivels. Its khaki color matches perfectly with WW2 U.S. webbing and field equipment.

An essential accessory for an accurate US Army, Airborne, or Ranger impression, and equally well suited for display or museum use.

Historical Context 

During World War II, the Thompson SMG was issued with a canvas sling to allow safe and practical carrying of the weapon in the field. Compared to leather slings, canvas versions were lighter, quieter, and more resistant to moisture and dirt.

These slings were widely used by U.S. infantry, Airborne units, and Rangers, often in combination with magazine pouches and webbing worn on the M1936 pistol belt. Both early M1928 models and later M1 variants used similar sling designs in khaki and OD shades.
