Exactly why I ordered mine this week. How does your FNH handle slugs? Is it POA/POI? What sling are you using? How about pics of the rail?
Thanks

Slugs have run perfectly, no issues at all - I have only run them out to 100 yards. The sights are set up to easily run slugs and with mine I have found where to use the sights for different distances. Different slugs give a different poa/poi. If you run the sights the same way you'll probably be impacting high. The sights are set up well for correcting for distance and brand. I get different results with different slugs.
It comes with a different piston for heavier stuff like slugs and from what I understand that will decrease felt recoil. I leave in the light piston and it runs everything. The way I use the shotgun I will shoot bird, buck, and slug all in the same run. Some folks leave in the other piston all the time and say they get the same results, I haven't tried it yet. Even with the light piston the felt recoil is minimal for a 12 gauge.
For a sling I'm using the Urban ERT, I already had it and just bought a few more adapters.
Here's the pics -
