I have been shopping around local and most are pricing it at around $629. Buds has it a little higher at $634.
I paid $525 for mine at a gun show but from a dealer/shop I use quite a bit. I've seen a bunch go on gunbroker in the $550 range as well.

Fellow FN9 owner, and will agree with all previous posts to reliability, accuracy, comfort, and function with all ammo.

The FN platform is fantastic. OBTW, did you at least check out the M+P .45? ::)

I did check out the M&P 45 and Beretta PX4 45, but keep getting drawn back to the FNP

If I recall, FNH is offering special pricing on FNPs for NRA Certified Instructors.  Don't know if that appies to you but would be worth checking into.

I almost bought the FNP USG-45 back in January but decided on something else for reasons that had nothing to do with the FNP. I liked everything about that gun so much that when I recently added a 9mm to the collection I went right back to FNH and bought the FNX-9 which has all of the things I liked on the .45 in a 9mm. FN's are great guns and don't get the attention they deserve, which does make finding good holsters a bit of a problem.

Thank you for the opportunity to promote my favorite holster - The Silent Thunder.  Leather lined kydex with adjustable cant and retention.  Can be had in either IWB or OWB configuration.  And it just so happen that they make them for the FNP-9/40 and FNP-45.  I have one for my FNP-9 and really like it.

Sorry for the plug but when I find something that is a little out of the ordinary and works so well I like to get the word out.    ;D

Galco has plenty. :)
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour." George Washington

fnp-45 is great but,
The trigger was ungood from the box, it took hundres of rounds and thousands of dryfires before it became very nice.
I have 10 15 round magazines, none of them will feed Winchester White Box hardball ammo.  All of the 14 rounders feed it but none of the 15 rounders.  15 rounders eat any and all ammo except Winnies.
After a bunch of dryfires and no more Winnie ammo, FNP-45 has become most trusted bed side piece with TLR-2 light/laser.
Shoot something every day, no excuses !

Great purchase...., triggers are like underwear, if your looking for a "race gun" that can be said for many pistols, and tips and tweaks are out there,  HOWEVER, regardless, when you squeeze it, and it goes bang, in a training or SD scenario, that's all that matters.

It's a fine pistol, looking forward to reading your range report,.....OBTW, you have to post a pic of your new acquisition.

It's a gun porn thing,.... ;)
