New Shotgun FN TPS

[RojasTKD]

Picked up a new FN TPS (Tactical Police Shotgun). I have yet to shoot it (soon... hopefully tomorrow).

It has a grayish parkorized barrel and mag tube and the receiver is a black phosphate coating I believe. Fit and finish is good. It is well made and I'm pleased with my new shotty. I plan to add a Knoxx SpecOps Stock to it.

I have picked up some of those Aguila Minishells (Mini-Slugs) and have tried cycling them by hand without issue. I can fit 11+1 in the TPS. ;) I'll report how they work in actually range use.

In comparison my recently acquired FN SLP Semi-auto is a much nicer Shotgun aesthetically. But it looks like a working gun.

So, after many years I've finally added shotguns to my stable... not one but two... a Semi and a pump.

Can't wait to take them both to the range.

New to shotgun, Haven't shot them since my law enforcement days back in 1995.... Anything I should know/consider?

figured out to to post pics:

Thanks.

I think I will soon add a PS90 and that should complete my FN collection for now (except for maybe a 22" FN SLP Mark 1). At least untill they come out with somthing new.

Thanks, that's just the FN's though. I have other non-FN in my collection and two on the way (HK Mark 23 and a Colt 6920 AR).

Rojas,

Do you recommend the mini shells for self-defense? I have a bunch in my cabinet.

[RojasTKD]

well, I have yet to make it to the range to test them out. They do feel well by hand. I have read some say they are too week for self-defense other think they'll will do just fine.

Once I get to testing them (I hope soon) I'll post my thoughts.
