Leo77 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I sold my FNH SLP to a friend, I have a Supernova, was considering either picking up another SLP or getting an M4. When I first bought the SLP I thought it might be better than the M4 because they are produced in a lesser degree than the M4 and may have better QC than the mass produced M4 which are made for the military. I believe both are great semi-autos, I would appreciate honest responses from those with first hand knowledge of either or both shotguns. Thanks Much and God Bless John 3:16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi John, after looking at an SLP at the shop I would never consider one. This new gun was full of machine marks, filthy w/ black oil, and rough to hand cycle. I'll stick to an M4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigofirearms Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I really like alot of features about the SLP, but like what BLACK stated. The finish and craftsmanship is not up to par with Benelli and Beretta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhoi_fan Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Besides what's already been posted, the SLP comes with two gas pistons (one for lighter power loads and one for higher power loads) which you need to change according to the loads you're shooting - pretty inconvenient and possibly downright disappointing when in a bind.

HopetonBrown Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I own both. Could never get the SLP to run reliably with birdshot. I have tried both pistons. The stock is too long and there are no shorter stocks available. Fit and finish are first rate. It sits in the safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan GSR Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Used to own a slp. No comparison, get the m4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
