| Hello guys, I get such good advice about everything AR15 related that I thought I would ask about shotguns too: I am looking to get an FN SLP shotgun but can't decide between the 18" and 22" model. I am 5' 8" tall and weigh 160 lbs. (and I'm 45 years old now) so the thought of a shorter barrel is appealing since it would be a quicker, lighter, and less barrel heavy. On the other hand, the extra capacity and ability to do a little more hunting wise (though I don't seem to ever go) would be nice. Which would you choose? |

I chose the 22 a couple years ago...haven't regretted it. The 22" SLP is one mean boom stick. That being said I don't think the 18 would be a bad choice. It's a very simple trade...weight/length vs capacity.
For a hd shotgun, I'd likely go 18. For any other purpose I'd go 22. |
