FN has expanded its popular SCAR 15P pistol lineup with the introduction of a .300 Blackout chambered model. This new variant joins the existing 5.56x45mm model and offers a versatile and powerful option for personal defence and home protection.
The .300 Blackout chambering has been optimized for the 15P, featuring a gas regulator with settings for subsonic and supersonic ammunition, a .30 calibre flash hider, and a dedicated magazine. These enhancements ensure optimal performance and reliability with the .300 Blackout cartridge.
One of the key advantages of the .300 Blackout cartridge is its suitability for suppressed platforms. FN has taken this into account by including gas regulator settings to accommodate both subsonic and supersonic ammunition. This allows users to customize the gun's performance based on their specific needs and preferences.
The 15P's compact and lightweight design, combined with its modularity, makes it an ideal choice for personal defence applications. The pistol's 7.5-inch barrel and non-reciprocating charging handle contribute to its manoeuvrability and ease of use.
In addition to the pistol itself, FN offers a range of accessories to further enhance the SCAR 15P's capabilities. These include barrel assemblies in both .300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm, allowing owners to easily switch between calibers. The barrel assemblies are constructed with high-quality materials and feature a durable finish.
“The SCAR family is renowned for its uncompromising reliability, durability and accuracy – the hallmark of FN’s quality. We are proud to say that the FN SCAR 15P in .300 Blackout continues to expand the platform while delivering a shooting experience worthy of the name,” said Benjamin Voss, Sr. Product Manager, Long Guns, FN America, LLC. “With the addition of separately available cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrel assemblies chambered in .300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm, the FN SCAR 15P continues to increase the configuration choices the SCAR family is known for.”
The FN SCAR family has established itself as a leader in the market for piston-driven, gas-operated semi-automatic rifles and pistols. The SCAR's modular design and proven reliability have made it a popular choice among law enforcement, military, and civilian shooters.
With the introduction of the .300 Blackout chambered SCAR 15P, FN has further expanded the versatility and appeal of the SCAR platform. This new model offers a compelling option for those seeking a compact and powerful pistol for personal defence or home protection.
