Thank you all for the advise, I appreciate it. It's going to be the Mark 1. I just feel I can do more with it. Also since deer hunting in a passion of mine, I can even add an extended rifled choke to it and use her here in Michigan's SG Only deer area; of course that is if I can get myself to put down my trusty 870 slug gun. The 870 is just one of thoes guns that will always find a place in my collection. I thought about making it the dedicated HD gun, but it's more at home in the woods... Thx again for the help guys!

Hello all, newbie on this board, but not to firearms. I have decided to jump into the tactical SG arena and after A LOT of reading here and on other boards, I have decided to get a FNH SLP for HD and 3 gun comp. To that end, which SLP is best for the HD/3 Gun combo? I like the mag capacity of the Mark 1 (8+1) for 3 gun but also like the 18" BBL on the non Mark 1 for HD. What are your opinions on the 18" for 3 gun? Does the extra 4" make a big difference in 3 gun? Enough of a difference to off set the loss of maneuverability in a HD role? I also like the Ghost rings on the 18", but are these a go or no/go for 3 gun & HD? Thx for the help.
