The FN SCAR® 15P Model 38-101240 is a premium 5.56 NATO semi-automatic pistol that brings the legendary SCAR operating system into an ultra-compact, suppressor-ready platform. Featuring a 7.5-inch cold hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel, Non-Reciprocating Charging Handles (NRCH), monolithic aluminum receiver, MIL-STD-1913 optics rail, and 30-round magazine, the SCAR 15P is designed for personal defense, tactical applications, and compact transport while delivering the versatility of the 5.56 NATO.
Built around FN's battle-proven short-stroke gas piston system, the SCAR 15P delivers outstanding reliability, cleaner operation, and reduced recoil impulse compared to traditional direct-impingement platforms. The updated NRCH (Non-Reciprocating Charging Handle) system improves shooter comfort and eliminates interference during firing while preserving the rugged durability that has made the SCAR platform famous worldwide.
Model 38-101240 features a 7.5-inch cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO. The barrel utilizes a 1:7" right-hand twist optimized for both supersonic and subsonic ammunition and is threaded 5/8"-24 with a factory-installed flash hider, making it suppressor-ready where legally permitted.
The pistol is built around FN's rigid monolithic aluminum upper receiver, providing exceptional strength while maintaining excellent accuracy. A continuous MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny top rail allows mounting of optics, while additional side and bottom Picatinny rails accommodate lights, lasers, and other accessories.
Fully ambidextrous controls include the safety selector, magazine release, and charging handles, making the SCAR 15P equally effective for right- and left-handed shooters. A rear 1913 Picatinny rail interface allows attachment of compatible pistol braces or other accessories where permitted by law.
Finished in FN's signature Flat Dark Earth (FDE), Model 38-101240 ships with one 30-round FN magazine and weighs only 5.65 pounds, making it one of the lightest and most capable compact piston-operated firearms in its class.
Combining 5.56 NATO performance, a compact suppressor-ready barrel, monolithic construction, and FN's legendary short-stroke piston system, the FN SCAR 15P Model 38-101240 delivers exceptional performance for shooters seeking a premium compact firearm.
