FNP 9 review (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fnp+9+review)

How bout ya do some research on a topic before you post all these "which is better?" and "is this good?" threads. Not to be a dick but seriously, google ain't that tough to use.

I think he's just trying to generate conversation, but Jesus, how many conversations can one guy hold at a time?

[mcantar18c]

That would explain the existence of this thread (http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45223), although all I really got from that was "hey look what I have." I don't think he's seriously considering buying one of these though, best I can figure is he wants people to tell them that they're good guns so he can either A) Argue or B) Tell his friends that they're better than Kimbers.

Actualy I am trading 2 beretta 21A bobcat pistols for one tomorrow, I dont know to much about FN's guns so I thought I would ask, I just got screwed on a AK47 so I wanted some info, if you have experience with these pistols or know anything about them and would want to share than great, if I wanted to brag about a gun it would be something that I already own, so yes I am planning on getting one, I know my beretta 21a pistols are worth more but that is not what I want to know, the info I would like is are they a good gun is it a good trade and any warranty info, are they 1 year is it just for the original buyer or is it lifetime no questions asked, thanks. Oh and I have done some research and it looks like they are about as good as a Sig P226, as far as i can tell I would like to know if that is accurate. Also from my understanding it looks like it has a very nice trigger and will probably end up as a duty gun if not already.

If you've already decided to trade two of your guns for another gun, despite it holding less value, I have to assume you either don't really care that much about how good of a gun it is or you're just dumb. Either is possible, and both make this a waste of time.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to research a product you're interested in BEFORE you get it (I know you don't actually have it in your hands yet, but you've committed to a sale and IMO that's a binding thing).

If lots of different people from lots of different places all over the web are saying mostly the same thing, chances are its true or close to true. Doing your research involves more than just clicking on the first link google gives you.

yeah my FN rocked. accurate , good trigger. Down side is not to many folks are real familiar with them so they do not fetch a decent resale price. Value wise they usually run $4-450 used with 2 mags, holster and mfg box it came in. Night sights add $50.

[mcantar18c]

Whoah wait up a second.....



YOU'RE BUYING A 9MM?!
And considering it for carry duty?!!!
But 9mm is too small to do be effective! Shoulda held out for a .45 that can drop a man in one hit.

[tmckay2]

it seems this place has gone the way of ar15.com and m4carbine.net. damn shame. it used to be a place you could ask questions and not get ridiculed. oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

[sneakerd]

"Duty" gun? I thought you worked in the oil fields? Why buy such an oddball gun for "duty"?

[sneakerd]

All ribbing aside- there's one for sale on ColoG in the Greeley area for $400. Regardless of anything else, that would appear to me to be a screaming deal.

Never said I was going to carry it, and they also make a 40 and 45 those are what I heard are going to be Police carry guns, I just wanted to know if anyone had any info on this gun, If you dont then why bother posting anything. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your input that is what I wanted to hear, I just want something different never owned anything from them so I will try this out, if I like it I am going to get the 40 and 45.

You might try trading an AK Bullpup for it...............................................N ever fired and only been dropped once.

[Atrain1]

Man I like this gun I will deffenetly buy the 40 S&W and the 45 version. Thanks for your time guys.

[sneakerd]

[Awesom]You got a screaming deal on that pistol!

[Fromk]

I have experience with the .40 version but I imagine my comments will apply. The good points are that it has a good trigger, it's really light which is awesome if you're going to carry it at all, and the trigger bar is on both sides of the frame making for some good strength and response. We got it at the range I used to work at as a rental and it withstood the test of the common public. I put a lot of faith in that.

Now the down sides. The lightness makes for a lot of recoil shooting it and the controls were constantly getting my way. The decocker was especially annoying. Others did not have that problem so I guess it depends on your grip. I'm not sure how available parts are because I haven't looked. That is a factor for me when picking a new gun but a lot of people don't seem to think about it.

So there's my two cents. It's a pretty good gun but try holding it first.

[Awesom]You got a screaming deal on that pistol! What about the other 2 the one on arms list comes with a IWB leather holster and mag holder for 400, and there is that one on colorado gun market.

[sneakerd]

I figger it's a screamer anytime you're getting a modern combat pistol in pretty much new condition, in the box with hi-caps, for $400. I also figgered that the one on ColoG was also being marketed by Mr. Burns, as it's kind of odd to have 2 of the same guns listed at the same price at the same time on 2 diff forums.

[stevelkinevil]

My buddy has the FNX9 and it shoots really well. Seemed to be a very accurate pistol and well made. I like it a lot better than my GFs CZ75-p07 (dont tell her I said that she loves that pistol).

[Jamesonehr]

Had one of the FNP9's back when they first came out. Sold it and kept my FN MKIII High-power SFS.

Had one of the FNP9's back when they first came out. Sold it and kept my FN MKIII High-power SFS. Was there a problem with it. I like this better than the P226

[Jamesonehr]

Was there a problem with it. I like this better than the P226

Just didn't fit right. I love the feel of the High-power and the fnp9 just didn't do it for me. It went bang, but the USP is the only polymer framed handgun I can stand shooting.
