FNH 9mm New for $400 Comments and Opinions Wanted

[twyacht]

Alright, I have many pistols NONE of which are 9mm. Have a chance to get an FNH 9mm New in Box for $409.00 at a gun store in my area.

I think MB wrote a review/opinion on this pistol some time back with a favorable perspective.

Anyone here have one? I fondled one for a while at the store, and liked the grip, feel, ambi features, (I'm a lefty), so with ammo prices being what they are, 9mm still seem cost effective...

Any and all good,bad,or ugly reviews are welcome.

FL. has a 5 day wait, until my CCW permit comes back. But I can pay for it Sat. and pick it up next week.

Thank you very much,

Tom W.

No review, FN's are good, you already test fit it, price seems to be great.

So what the hell are you waiting for - go get it!!!!

Love mine.  It eats anything I can feed it and I've never, ever, had a failure of any kind (FTE, FTF, lock back on empty) - none.  It is more accurate than I am and has very manageable recoil.  A pleasure to shoot.  I highly recommend them to friends that are just getting into shooting or are looking for a HD weapon.  Very nice trigger.  It's everything I had hoped the Ruger SR9 would have been - except for skinny.  I don't know that it would be my first choice for concealed carry but its a great gun.  Mine currently resides in my car.

P.S.  No, I don't work for FNH but I don't hesitate to beat the drum for a product that I've had great success with.

P.P.S  That's a darn good price.  Check their web site and see if they are still running the shooter pack special - a kydex holster and spare mag holster with proof of purchase - to sweeten the deal.

1. Don't have one myself.
2. FNH is touted by most reviewers
3. Looks and feels good to you
4. What the hell are you waiting for?

Great success with mine...it's the only pistol I have (besides the Five SeveN) that the wife can rack without too much trouble.

If you limp wrist it it will fail to feed.  I never have had the problem but I loaned it to a guy who didn't hold the weapon with a firm stance...until he changed his stance it didn't feed so well.  But, again, for me, probably for you....it would never be a problem. 

Light, high capacity and with the double action for that second strike on a faulty primer quite a good weapon at a great price.

Yes...at the Wannamacher's Arms Show yesterday the cheapest I saw was like $450.  The 45 was going for $530.

Well, I got it, the price went up, guess when?? Tues. the 8th. So, $449.00 out the door, plus tax. (and the 5 day wait).

I went to a range that has rentals and the Sig 229 was awesome but $750.00, It shot really well, but no ambi controls. The FN 9 also shot awesome, fit my hand great, and the money I save will get more ammo and mags.

Thanks for the positive replies. Next Friday (after 5pm), I can get it.

I certainly will post pics when acquired.

TW- I doubt you will be upset at all. I have been working a ton now that the leaves are falling (I work on a grounds crew up here at a Hospital.)   so I didnt get to see this thread till. I believe I have talked about this more thank once but you will find people who use their firearms for living choose FN and HK. With the FNP 9mm I love it. It just seems to fit my hand good. I have been waiting for that extra income to go and get the .45. So I hope that it works out for you and you got a good price no matter what. I hope that you have the same amount of luck with the fit and reliability that I have seen FN products have.

I've got the FN9M and love it,you'll love yours too

Got a call from the gunstore, and was informed that since Tues. was a holiday, the 5 day wait will be extended to Mon. .

I have others to fondle and shoot, so its no big deal.

At least, I will get it. After January, those evil high capacity pistols maybe harder to get. Might even check out another store for a little "something'.

Thanks to all of you for all the feedback.
