Preview – FN Herstal SLP Mark I

FN's Full-Feature Shotgun

During a zombie takeover of the planet, a shotgun can be your undisputed, best friend. Nothing can quite blow away the undead like a 12-gauge scattergun-just ask any of the characters from AMC's original series, The Walking Dead. In the real world, shotguns are employed in a myriad of roles, most notably in law enforcement and personal defense. Shotguns are also ideal in various sporting applications. A good semiautomatic shotgun can be an indispensable tool for just about any situation that calls for it. This is why it is imperative to get a good one from the start.

Three words sum up our initial impression of FN Herstal's SLP Mark I: built to last. The SLP Mark I features a stout build and feels solid in your hands. Its surfaces all indicate a shotgun that can handle and dish out abuse. Every part of the gun, whether metal or plastic, seems to be made extra heavy-duty.
