The 6+1 capacity FN SLP Tactical gas-operated 12-gauge is an impressive matte black 18” barrel semi-automatic shotgun that can fire eight rounds per second. For such reasons, American Rifleman Magazine named the SLP 2009 Shotgun of the Year.

The SLP Tactical effortlessly integrates sturdy components such as a lightweight alloy receiver with a 3” chamber, a two-piece bolt and a receiver-mounted bolt release. The operating handle is ergonomically curved. You also get a tough synthetic stock and forearm with tactile grip surfaces on both, a straight back nicely textured pistol grip and an excellent non-slip recoil pad.

Atop the hard-chrome bore barrel, you get high-profile fully adjustable rifle sights with the rear sights sitting on an MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail accessory rail above the receiver. The rear sight is an adjustable ghost ring while the front sight is wing-protected.

The threaded barrel is compatible with trusted interchangeable Standard Invector choke tubes. And below it, the extended magazine tube occupies the full span to end flush under the muzzle making capacity 6+1 though the tactical barrel is only 18” long. Overall length is 39”, and overall weight is 7.4 pounds.

The gun comes standard in all matte black. The gas system is an active-valve type that permits automatically adjusting to different loads. Two steel sling swivel studs facilitate carrying while a crossbolt safety at the back of the trigger guard makes locking the gun easy.

It’s SLP Tactical’s front end and back end that set it apart visually, physically and functionally from its standard SLP twin. The SLP Tactical boasts a MIL-STD-1913 tri-rail mount on the 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock flanks of the front of the magazine tube. These three rails make mounting accessories very easy. And at the other end, the stock is adjustable for comb height and length of pull via interchangeable comb inserts and interchangeable recoil pads.
