THIS OWNER’S MANUAL HAS BEEN WRITTEN EXCLUSIVELY
FOR THE FNH USA SLP SHOTGUN.
If your FNH USA shotgun has inscriptions other than “Self Loading Police”
or “SLP Mark I” on its front left side or if the external appearance of the
firearm does not correspond to the illustrations in this owner’s manual,
you must contact your dealer, departmental armorer or contact us
immediately to obtain the free owner’s manual that has been written
specifically for your firearm.
1. FOREWORD
We are pleased that you have chosen an FNH USA SLP autoloading shotgun.
Based on sound firearm design, the SLP stands for the highest level of
reliability, consistent accuracy, functional design and provides the
operating precision and safety expected from an FNH USA firearm.
The SLP is an autoloading design that allows you to fire follow-up shots by
squeezing the trigger. When you fire a shell, the Active Valve gas system
moves a loaded shell from the magazine to the chamber where it can be
fired with a pull of the trigger. This can be repeated until the magazine is
empty. A single shell can also be inserted into the chamber manually or
moved from the loaded magazine by cycling the action with the operating
handle. The short stroke and gas-sealing fit of the Active Valve limits
combustion gas entry into the receiver for cleaner operation. In order to
keep this shotgun in top condition and operating at its peak performance,
read, understand and follow all of the instructions in this owner’s manual.
Simple and durable in design, the firearm is very easy to maintain. With
a reasonable amount of care, the SLP should give you many years of
dependable service. In order to take maximum advantage of the many
features of the SLP, regularly review this owner’s manual.
Please contact us if you have any observations or questions regarding the
performance or the operation of your firearm.
Thank you.
