super lightweight POM 'CONGLIN' slingshot

I recently purchased a second Plastic (POM) X6 slingshot, as this is my preferred slingshot. There’s really not much to add to the review I did a few months ago, as the slingshot is basically the same.

However, this time I asked for a Black slingshot, and I noticed this version is slightly heavier (64gr instead of 55gr), and thicker than the Brown slingshot I already had. This does not add much bulk to the slingshot, but it looks sturdier.

As I mentioned before, I don't get any kind of warning signs at the slingshot being made of plastic, my Brown slingshot really feels sturdy. In any case, if you feel the need for a sturdier slingshot, go for the Black color option.

This Plastic (POM) X6 slingshot was my second slingshot from Dankung, and my first ergonomic ('S' shaped) slingshot. It is a very comfortable slingshot to hold, and it can be shot as it is, it doesn't need any type of wrapping to make the grip comfortable. At 55gr, it feels incredible light. You can throw it in any pocket and you won't feel it's weight.

The grooves surely help to keep the tube in place, though it did roll a few times. Grooves are definitely something to look for if you use tubular bands. I added a removable paracord lanyard, to avoid dropping the slingshot when shooting. Even if it is not strictly necessary.

I don't get any kind of warning signs at the slingshot being made of plastic. Its thickness has been increased compared to Stainless Steel slingshots, and it feels sturdy. I pushed the tip of the forks towards each other, and they bend slightly. However, as the forks are reinforced in a front-back direction (they are thicker when seen from the side), I can't see or feel any bend when shooting. The seams are visible at the sides, but they have been smoothed, not to damage the bands, and I really can’t feel them by touch.

I liked this Plastic X6 so much that after 1 or 2 weeks I decided to go for a Stainless Steel X6 slingshot too. I asked for a version that is not shown in this site (Silver, polished Stainless Steel), and they were able to get it for me. If you want to check it out, I will be reviewing it shortly, on the link for the X6 Shining Edition.

I really liked this slingshot, and I think its price is unbeatable.
