I assume the web sling was a wartime expedient. The web sling would save a lot of leather when you have to equip several million rifles..
I suspect, too, that the sling in combat served almost exclusively as a carry device. Except for snipers, I doubt the average GI wrapped up in a target sling during combat. To answer the original question, I have no idea why that thumb tab on the web sling is there. Not the best design, IMO.

Jack,
Thanks for your reply regarding my question about a questionable thumb tab on the web sling. I trust Gil someday gets over his "wild hair." He likes to pontificate rather than chat. Perhaps he should scroll past my posts and lose his "wild hair." LOL! Gil. I apologize if you felt insulted or mocked by my question. All I can say is:"Boo Hoo," and get a box of tissues. All the best.... Adam
