FN have announced the introduction of a .300 Blackout chambered addition to their FN SCAR 15P range of pistols, the civilian version of the FN SCAR-SC personal defense weapon. The 15P was announced back in 2022 and we got our hands on one to review in September 2023. The new SCAR pistols will be available in black and flat dark earth finishes and have been optimized for .300BLK with a gas regulator with settings for subsonic and supersonic ammunition, a .30 caliber flash hider and a dedicated magazine.


The FN SCAR 15P .300BLK also ships with a dedicated .300 Blackout 30-round magazine from Magpul. MSRP for the pistol is $3,699.00 for both calibers.


FN SCAR 15P @ TFB:

Here’s what FN have to say about the new .300BLK SCAR 15Ps:


“Building on the heritage of the FN SCAR family, FN America, LLC is excited to announce the release of the FN SCAR 15P chambered in .300 Blackout. An ideal choice for home and personal defense applications or for everyday range use, the FN SCAR 15P is the semiautomatic pistol modeled after the FN SCAR-SC personal defense weapon originally designed for military and law enforcement.
The initial version of the FN SCAR 15P was launched in late 2022, chambered in 5.56x45mm. The new .300 Blackout pistol has been optimized in every way possible for the caliber, including gas regulator settings for subsonic and supersonic ammunition, a .30 caliber flash hider and a dedicated magazine, giving customers the best possible experience and performance.
“The SCAR family is renowned for its uncompromising reliability, durability and accuracy – the hallmark of FN’s quality. We are proud to say that the FN SCAR 15P in .300 Blackout continues to expand the platform while delivering a shooting experience worthy of the name,” said Benjamin Voss, Sr. Product Manager, Long Guns, FN America, LLC. “With the addition of separately available cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrel assemblies chambered in .300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm, the FN SCAR 15P continues to increase the configuration choices the SCAR family is known for.”
The FN SCAR 15P .300BLK offers the multi-caliber modularity that is the hallmark of the SCAR platform. The caliber, originally designed by Advanced Armament Corp, was optimized to perform in short-barreled configurations. Specifically developed with flexibility and mobility in mind, the pistol is extremely lightweight and compact, weighing just 5.65 pounds unloaded and measuring under 20 inches in length with its 7.5-inch barrel.
Packaged in a premium, soft-sided carry case, the FN SCAR 15P .300BLK also ships with a dedicated .300 Blackout 30-round magazine from Magpul, along with a standard .30-caliber flash hider optimized for the projectile. The pistol is available in black or flat dark earth (FDE). With its overall compact size, non-reciprocating charging handle, lightweight configuration and reliable FN SCAR operating system, the FN SCAR 15P .300BLK is the perfect choice for home or personal defense and an ideal addition to any FN SCAR collection.”

FN have also announced that barrel assemblies chambered in both .300BLK and 5.56 will be available via the FN eStore and selected retailers. This will allow SCAR 15P owners to swap calibers.
