I have two FAIR Jubilee Prestige's and love them. I THINK (and someone please correct me) the only difference in their O/U line is wood, fit/finish, materials, etc. If that is true here are a couple articles about some of the details (FAIR makes models under "Lincoln" brand) which I THINK would apply to the SLX600, but I have zero personal experience with that model so take all this for what it cost you to get:

If they use the same design, those articles state:

"The trigger mechanism incorporates an inertia block backed up by mechanical sear selection, so there is unlikely to be a problem, and the ejectors were well timed and operated strongly, throwing spent cases well away."

"The action of the test gun is of very familiar pattern, as discussed. It has split stud-type hinge pins. Coil springs are used to power the tumblers. The single trigger mechanism is of the inertia type, and a selector is placed on top of the conventional thumb-operated top strap safety (which is automatic). Trigger pulls on this gun were pretty good, again better than on some guns in this price category. I also liked the shape of the trigger, and the matt gold plating was inoffensive, though my preference is plain steel. "

"The dedicated action has a hinging system much like a Beretta or Perazzi (with studs at knuckle, sitting in corresponding recesses in bifurcated lumps). The bolting system, however, involves a full-width bolt coming out of the bottom of the action face and engaging bites beneath the bottom chamber mouth.

 

Hi - I own a 20 gauge SLX600 Black. To answer your questions - they have inertia triggers, not mechanical, lock up is by a lower lug into the monobloc similar to a browning, as opposed to a beretta double pin design.

Overall it is a very nice gun, finish is very much like a Silver Pigeon, decent walnut, nice bluing, and the gold engraving sets it off nicely. Very attractive and others have commented on the appearance. Mine was very stiff to open when new, and I spent a couple of hours working the action to help loosen it up. After about 1000 rounds it started to open easier, but it is still a little hard. What that tells me is that the tolerances are tight and the gun is well made. Took the stock off and the trigger mechanism is nicely machined with no burrs or crap floating around. Lockup is solid.

How does it shoot - very well with balance just in front of the hinge, decent triggers, standard ergonomics but it is pretty light at a little over six pounds to be used as a sporting clays gun even in 20 gauge, which is what I shoot. It would be a great hunting gun - which is what FAIR seems to favor even though they make a few dedicated target models, their catalogue seems to be more hunting oriented.

At a price point $500-700 less than a Silver Pigeon I think it is a very good buy. Much better than the top of the line CZ or Tristar. Other than the stiffness when new, I have not had a single problem in 5000 rounds. It looks nice, is well made, seems to be reliable and as a hunting gun I would not hesitate to recommend it.

good to know! I am considering one in 28 gauge..

I am buying one. I OWN a FAIR Iside in 28 gauge with 26.5 inch barrels. A Golden Tartaratuga (Turtle) Deluxe, that is REALLY nice. There is a video on a Italian gal using a FAIR ointment on the opened action on the SLX 600 Black Deluxe that they recommend. That makes the opening and closing easier. I own Fabarm Autumn 20 gauge (Caesar G.) which is spectacular. I am TRYING to find out about the base FAIR SLX 600 Black compared to the same shotgun in Deluxe. If the wood is the only difference in the upgrade then I will send it to Tech Woods USA in Ronan, Montana and have the stock replaced in high grade Tiger Maple. I hope that is the ONLY difference from base to deluxe. I bought the base model from MidWay USA NOT realizing I was getting the base model.

 

My Iside Vintage is based off the Iside action, I love this little SxS !

They are inertia triggers, not mechanical. I PREFER this single trigger to double triggers which you could get. In skeet if you shoot two clays so rapidly it sounds like one shot you get penalized. Which is STUPID. The lockup is a single Browning style which is excellent.
