FN America Unveils the FN SCAR 15P in .300 Blackout
A Compact Powerhouse for Home Defense and Range Use
Building on the renowned legacy of the FN SCAR family, FN America, LLC proudly announces the release of the FN SCAR 15P chambered in .300 Blackout. This highly anticipated semiautomatic pistol is modeled after the military and law enforcement-focused FN SCAR-SC personal defense weapon, making it an ideal choice for home and personal defense or for everyday range use.
Initially launched in late 2022 in 5.56x45mm, the FN SCAR 15P now features a version chambered in .300 Blackout, fully optimized for the caliber. This includes gas regulator settings for both subsonic and supersonic ammunition, a .30 caliber flash hider, and a dedicated magazine to ensure peak performance with every shot.

We’re proud to say that the FN SCAR 15P in .300 Blackout continues to expand the platform while delivering a shooting experience worthy of the SCAR name.”
