The Warslinger racial trait is a bit vague, should the Sling Staff work with it? It's a sling...
Should you read it literally as just the sling or as all types of slings?
Warslinger: Halflings are experts at the use of the sling. Halflings with this racial trait can reload a sling as a free action. Reloading a sling still requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity. This racial trait replaces the sure-footed racial trait.
Maybe just wishful thinking here. I was wondering mostly for PFS play since I can work this with my GM for the home game.
I don't see why not. The Slingstaff says that its a specially designed sling but it is still A SLING. Warslinger says Halflings can reload A SLING as a free action. Normally I don't care for that level of nitpickyness but I think you could use it to defend the RAW so that it falls in line with RAI. I mean they both use two hands to reload and its a move action for both normally so I think it makes perfect sense that it would apply to both.

My DM and I agreed it was OK. Kind of Longbow and Composite Longbow.

Everyone I know of would rule the same way, but PFS doesn't really allow for open interpretations so having a member of the rules staff comment would still be helpful.

Heads up - the rules staff, or at least some members thereof, like to lean on "Leave up to the DM" instead of providing concrete answers, regardless of the fact PFS exists.
Just adding that the Advanced Race Guide FAQ states that it's only slings, not sling staffs. http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1gh#v5748eaic9qus
Indeed. The FAQ says it only applies to ye basic sling. That said, for a non-pfs home game I would say totally allow it to apply...
