yup.
There isn't a 40 yet, but it should be done by the end of the year. The Pro-9 is a DA-SA with an 1911 type safety (cocked and locked is A-OK)
They should be available sometime around the middle of June or early July, depending on the usual engineering problems that pop up.

Looks like a Ruger P series.

Looks exactly like a Fabrique Nationale FNP-9.
Now that I think about it, it's also probably what a CZ p-01 would look like if they made it in polymer.

TreeSquid nailed it.
I've been sitting here thinking, "Where have I seen that thing before? S&W? Nope. Ruger? Nope."
It's the FN "Forty Nine" pistol!

Looks like the Browning version have have a different safety/decocker arrangement.

It is an FNP-9 with a stainless slide and a safety.
Unlike the Forty-Nine, it has a hammer.
Hammers are much better than strikers.

Might be nice, the only thing that kept me from a fortynine was the horrible trigger pull.

It looks kinda cool.

The trigger pull is around 10 lbs DA, and 3.5 pounds SA.

You guys nailed it...its an FN FNP-9. Quite a bit different than the Forty Nine....which IMO has pretty decent trigger pull......
I wonder if FN would trade my FN HP DA c for a NIB 2 tone FNP-9
Strictly for R&D evaluations of course....
Shoot well

BTW...its not Cond 1 capable...typical trad. d/a with decocker.

Oh well. If it was capable of c&l carry I would have been interested (and if it took hi-power mags). Now it will be just another crunch ticker in a world of crunch tickers.
I loved the FN 49 until I pulled the trigger. It was horrid.
