FNH 9mm New for $400 Comments and Opinions Wanted

[Michael Bane]

Tom;

I believe you'll really like it...the FNP 9mm may be one of the few great gun deals around these days. In mine, the DA is a little heavy, but it's very smooth, so no big. It's an FN, which means it should be a tank.

Let us know what you think of it...

OK....it's been a while.  Whaddya'  think  ? ? ?

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.

After the pretty pics of it all new, I have shot it and shot it, and shot it.

All the info, and opinions from this forum were spot on, the price now for the same pistol at our local Bass Pro is "on sale" for $509.00.

It has not FTFeed or Fire, DA pull is long but good for carry, follow up SA shots are very crisp, recoil is negligible, accuracy is as good as the shooter.

I might change factory sights, they work, but the rear sight notch is twice as wide as the front sight. Creating a chasm for shots using the sights.

Point shooting at 7 to 15 yds, is great, field strips in less than 10 seconds, all kinds of ammo 115gr to 147gr subsonic JHP's, to WWB, mil-surp, just feeds, fires, and ejects, repeat...

Extremely Happy with the FNP9, I am now one of the fellow members here, including MB, that give it two thumbs up.

It is #2 on this list, and MADE IN THE USA!

I think the price around 400 to 450 is fair, retailers may think otherwise...

Here's my 14 year old son, giving it a go on the 4th of July. (He'll out shoot me one day at this rate...)

I'm glad you like it!  You put some good observatons in, like DA pull length, rear sight notch size, etc...things I never thing to talk about.  I really think this is a good value...my 17 year old used one for training the other day.  High capacity, light, DA capability ...all good things.  It may not be $5,000 race gun...but at 10 times less it's a jewel.

I'd been holding off on getting the FNP 45...then MB started crowing about them and got me on point again...but I have managed to supress that "need" because of all the $$$$'s spent on focusing on family training lately and planned for the near future.  I see an FNP 45, maybe another FNP 9 in my future..so long as BHO and his imps don't ramp up fears again anytime soon, I'll wait until November/December for a purchase hoping prices are down a bit....provided this "economic miracle" of BHO's doesn't put us all on the street.

I scored an extra mag for mine during the winter/spring BHO Administration and Mexican MSM media run for gun control...since this may have cooled down I'm comfortable to wait with a watchful eye for mag prices to come down a bit too.

Subsonics?  Got a threaded barrel to go with those subsonic rounds?   

I need a threaded barrel for mine...just in case you might know where to find one I've got to ask.

Hello.   Sorry for the late reply and this dated report, but it might be of use.  Hope you continue to enjoy your pistol:

Last January, when B O got sworn in.
