Hey all,
I have been reading more and more posts about the new FN FNP Pistols. It seems like the most popular right now are the 45ACP and the 9mm versions. When I first heard about them I checked them out on their website and they looked pretty nice, nothing to get overly excited about. I didn't think much more about them until I started seeing more and more comments about them, then I started paying more attention.
Well I was at one of my local shops the other day just browsing and low and behold right there in the case was one of the new FNP 9mm in BLACK. Of course I had to see it and handle it for a bit. After spending a few minutes with it I came away thinking that this is a heck of a nice pistol. I carry a Glock 19 and it seems to be similar in size and weight to it. I like the external hammer, the different backstraps, true single action fire and the external safety/decocker. They also aren't that expensive when compared to lots of other pistols out there today. I would have no problem using it as my carry gun assuming it proved to be reliable.
The 45ACP also seems to be gathering lotsa fans. I'd like to see one of those too, but I don't think that is going to happen.
I just wanted to ask and see what you all thought about these new pistols and whether you have had the chance to handle or shoot one.
If you own one how about posting your thoughts and pics? I'd like to check them out. How accurate are they? How do they stack up against their competition?
Thanks for the time.
