astephenson Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I just traded my Mossberg 930SPX in on a new FN SLP Mark 1 and I LOVE IT. The only thing I don't like is the trigger guard mounted safety. I read somewhere that the safety on the SLP is reversible for left-handed operation, but it's not covered in the manual, and I searched but was unable to find anything about it here. Can someone provide instructions on the procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astephenson Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 I figured it out once I got it apart. Pretty simple. Thanks anyway, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmwater Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Were you unhappy with your Mossberg? I understand if you just wanted to upgrade, I am looking at getting a semiauto for multigun and was thinking about a 930. Any reliability issues?

astephenson Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 My relationship with my 930 SPX started poorly from the beginning. The day I brought it home I couldn't get more than 5 shells to load in the tube. I had to trim the forearm back so the magazine tube would fit without a gap that binded the follower. Mine wouldn't cycle anything but 3 3/4 dram high brass birdshot. I've heard that others would, but mine never did...no matter how clean or dirty or wet or dry it was. The trigger guard snapped into several pieces while shooting slugs. There were obvious voids in the casting. All in all it's probably fine...I had heard nothing but good things about them...I might have just got a lemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calmwater Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Im not sure I will take the gamble. Might have a very lightly used 1100 bird gun to work up. Probably cost as much in parts as the whole mossberg, but may be worth it after hearing that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astephenson Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'd feel much more comfortable with an 1100 over a 930 at the buzzer after all I've been through with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benl Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I know this is a zombie thread, but I need the info. How do you get the safety out once I've removed the detent and leaf spring? It looks like I have to remove the trigger, but that doesn't sound right. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astephenson Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Mine just came out one side or the other. I can't remember it's been so long, though. It should come out without removing the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benl Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Mine just came out one side or the other. I can't remember it's been so long, though. It should come out without removing the trigger. Thanks, WAS. It feels like it should just slide right out, but is caught on something. I didn't want to force it without asking around, first; it looks like it's catching on the tab on the back of the trigger.
