X ring splice. How snug ?

So purchased my first X-ring from honey brothers last month and the splice has seemed to have pulled out a tad. Being new to rings im not sure whether that it’s a common thing and it’s okay or not ?

 

I haven’t loaded it significantly, but of negative rigging but not being used as a redirect rather than taking the full whack. IMG_2767.jpgIMG_2768.jpg

Do you have a picture of the whipping.

 

Sirus is very easy to pull out if not stitched properly, low repeated loads like you have been doing will cause slippage. This is the third sling I've seen online like this. 

 

It's better to have a slightly loose eye and  whipping/stitching when splicing rings, not enough for the ring to fall out obviously.

 

Call HB, they should replace.

I don’t think there is any whipping ? (I may be wrong but there’s no stitching)

I will give them a call, it still holds the ring but it is considerably easier to spin the ring.
