FNP vs. FNX

[garand4life]

Shot my buddy's P99 last month.  Very accurate!  I was impressed with it.  He's had it for years but hasn't shot it at all (the mags are rusting).  He's looking for something more like an LCP.  I was thinking about making him an offer to buy it cheap.

Hell, I've got an LCP laying around I'd give him for that u loved, un-used P99.

I can message him and see if he's interested in a trade.

Do it.  You can always trade/sell it for something else.

I liked mine very much.  I had the DA/SA model.  I like the magazine release.  It shoots almost to easily in SA mode.  I was doubling shots just by thinking about it.   It just didn't fit in my scheme of things.

I love my FNP but some of the reported improvements in the trigger, lowered bore axis and grip, magazine capacity and full ambi controls make me very interested in trading up. Has anyone put them head to head to compare them? I'm interested in hearing from those that have actually shot them to compare if the newer FNX shoots as well, or preferably, better than the FNP to warrant the trouble of moving up.

I've shot both now and I like the FNP better, no real reason other than just a matter of "feel". It could be I've put about 5k through my 2 FNP-9's combined and only shot a box through a friends FNX-9. If you decide to get rid of your FNP-9 (and it's a USG configuration) shoot me a message first, I'll probably buy it. I'd like at least 1 more and they're getting harder to find. I did get one the other day on gunbroker for $381 though, had it at $341 but someone had to come bid it up on me in the last 5min.

I never really realized how poorly the FNP really fits my hand till I picked up and fondled an FNX today. It's night and day. That being said. At 25 yards I was grouping shots like I never had before this weekend. So, for me the only option was to trade my FNP (non-USG) in towards the FNX. Besides, I would never take and shoot it when I have the option of it's more perfect counterpart. So plus $300 cash and a few days wait for the gun to arrive at my dealer I will be enjoying the pinnacle of FNH handgun design. Now I just need a good holster. I have a blade tech holster and a fobus and can't carry in either. Anyone know a good belt holster for a FNX/FNP!?

I'm a big fan of the "Silent Thunder" holster.  Really like my IWB version.

They have the FNP-9 on the list of guns the make them for.
I've heard (but haven't verified) that holsters made for the XD work for the FNP as well.

Not sure about the XD but my FNP9 fits in quite a few of my Glock 19 leather holsters. It was a little tight but I took a couple and wet them down and re-molded them when I first got the FN and no one had holsters for them.

Oh boy! Got a call from my FFL is morning that my FNX came in just in time for the weekend. I love it! It even fits well in my Crossbreed made for an M&P. So, hopefully I can get it barking tomorrow and we shall see if it handles better than my FNP. Being that the FNP had over a 1000 round through it I don't think the new kid will fair as well out the gate but who knows!!!!!
