They use the same magazine as the FNP-9 and FNP-40. Last I checked Browning was not going to distribute full-caps, but that was months ago, as in days after the sunset.
Accurate: reasonable to excellent, depending on the individual gun. FN had some problems buying quality barrels, from a number of big names, so they decided to make their own, using their rifle barrel forging equipment. As a former barrel maker, I can say these barrels are SWEET!
Reliable: Yes

Greeting's All-
I have the 9m/m Browning Pro's NIB in stock, and yes they do come with
magazines that hold 16 rounds!
We haven't received any of the .40
caliber Browning Pro's; and I honestly don't know what the hold up is?
The 9m/m feels really good in the hand, and balances well. I
can't address how these weapons actually perform, as I haven't shot
one yet?

Greeting's Alan My Friend-
The answer to all your questions is YES, indeed. Most reputable dealers
should have them in stock; or be able to obtain them from a stocking
distributor. As for a fair price, we get $539 for 'em NIB. Also, standard
16 round magazines should not be a problem; as a matter of fact, we
might even have a few in the pistol room? I will check on Thursday, as
that will be my start of the work week.

I've been waiting to hear some scoop on the Pro-9 and Pro-40. I like what I'm reading. One of these would make a good addition to my Hi-Powers and Springfield XD's. Kind of a Browning XD, sorta, kinda, a little bit. LOL
I like the stainless slides too.

question for those who own one: does the safety work like a SA (i.e. safe up, fire down,) or is it the opposite?

I just picked up a used Pro 9 today. I plan on a range trip tomorrow.

And for those that may not know, you can carry it c0cked and locked. Which in my opinion is pretty darn cool.
The Pro-9 I played with in the shop was impressive, but I think anything over $500 for them is a bit much, but then again I'm somewhat of a tightwad.

The BDA was Beretta if I remember correctly.

Yes, the old BDA was once what is now known as the SIG P220 and imported under the Browning name in 1977 prior to Sig-Sauer/ Sauer Arms opening a distribution network in the CONUS. IIRC, another company, maybe Interarms? The old BDA (not to be confused with the .380 Browning BDA, which was a Beretta 84 made under license to Browning and no longer in the catalog) was chambered in .45ACP, .38 Super and 9mm.
I owned 2 BDA's, one in .45 and the other in 9mm, both with sub- 400 serial numbers. Hindsight, boys, hindsight...
I want my wife to go take a look at the Pro9 so I can get my BHP away from her

They may not be in the catalog any more (strange that they ain't) but they appear to still be in production. I bought one when they originally came out in the early 1980's and recently I've been seeing NIB models popping up on dealer shelves as well as in the CDNN catalog. Might just get another oneSylvilagus Aquaticus said:
