Hi everyone, this is my first post in the forum, i hope i can post more in the future about updates and range reports if i can find more time for it.

I got a brand new Sxp defender with 20" barrel and 7 capacity magtube with fixed choked slug barrel couple days ago and yesterday i tested it with 28-34 grain slugs without any problem,i shot 150 rounds( approximently )
Only issue that i experienced the 20" barrel likes 32gr and above slug loads for accurate shots, anything lower than 32gr can shoot 5 to 10 inches high at 40 yards. 32gr and above are dead accurate at the same distance.

After first range visit, i noticed that the trigger group is slightly loose and it wobbles

When i grip the trigger guard i can wiggle the assembly side to side when the bolt closed/foward position.
Also whole trigger group can play side to side when its dissassembled, that i tried to show in the second video.

It functions without any problem rightnow , but i am not sure how its gonna play in long term use and after higher round counts,

For videos;
