Uncle Mikes made the barrel bands. The Contender sets have been discontinued as far as I know,, but you can look for a barrel band for a magazine tube with the proper diameter. I use my barrels with the bands,, and I have a sling. But I don't use the sling as a "brace" when shooting. I use a different rest of some sort. Never felt that putting pressure on the barrel with the sling was a good idea. But for carry, I use the sling, diagonally across my chest,, where if necessary, I can pop loose the front sling swivel, and slip it off quickly. Great for when you are riding a 4-wheeler etc.
Another note. I also use a wrist band ammo carrier. I have it on my shooting arm. I can fire a round, break the action with my shooting hand, use my off hand to remove the empty, and add a fresh round quickly too. It's quicker than you'd think. I've been accused of NOT shooting a single-shot when deer hunting as others heard me shoot, quickly. AND I've taken 2 or more deer at the same time by doing this. I've had to demonstrate this shooting & loading to convince one guy.
