I put a Pearce mag extender on it to fit my paw and it's a regular in my ccw rotation. It's incredibly reliable, has never jammed no matter what kind of crap I shoot through it, acquiring a sight pic is quick, and point of aim = point of impact at 20 yds. It's invisible in my ankle holster or tucked in the waistband of my pants. It's easy to take down to clean, and is utterly dependable. I carry it and shoot it with confidence and competence. But I don't love it. I think it's the trigger. Most of my other pistols have triggers that look like triggers. I think if Glock had a proper trigger it might be my one of my favorite brands. So I ended up wanting another 9mm. I tried Sigs, Berettas, Kahrs, and an FNP-9. To my surprise my fave was the FN. You have to handle one to appreciate its balance in your hand. When I picked up that FN 9mm with a full mag, waved it around and got a sight picture, my hand said, "Mmmm, I like this." My Sig carrying buddy thinks the FN is butt-ugly. Maybe, but I don't care. I purchased the X9 instead of the P9 cause it was a newer and supposedly improved model and, although I love that gun, I regret I didn't spring for the P9 instead. I just think the metal safety and decock levers on the P9 look better than the plastic ones on the X9. I've put about three hundred rounds through the X9 and even though it was true love from the first time I took it to the range, the more I shoot it the more I like it. I -wish- both the DA and SA trigger pulls were waaay shorter, but that's not to say I don't love the gun. If I had to get rid of all my handguns except for one I'd keep the Glock 26; but because of its balance and its trigger I would never like it. My first 9mm was a Glock 26.

Great guns to shoot and carry. The FNP 45 get a little bit before you get use to caring it but it is one of the best defense guns I have used. Served in the Army for 16 years I have done some shooting of arms around the world, believe me the are a piece of art! I have FNP 45 and FNP 40 both stainless and black great pair!

I understand the features we don't like are the top selling points. I hate the idea of no safety. I have a SIG 2340 .40 Cal, a Beretta 92fs my wife has a SIG 2022 .40 Cal and she bought a FN FNX-9 have not had a chance to shoot it yet, but I gotta say I think I like the feel of it better than my other guns! If it shoots as nice as it feels I will add another FN to the collection! I saw a FN FNP-45 and damn that looked pretty sweet. I really love the 15+1 Dbl Stack and the DA/SA. I have always wanted the M1911 and truth be told may acquire one but only if it was retired from U.S. service a.k.a. stamped "U.S. Government Property," having said that, I'm not real fond of the SAO trigger. But that's just me! Anyway thanks for the time! Peace, Lunchbox99x Yeah I gotta agree with ya on the Glock issue. I understand the features we don’t like are the top selling points.

After 1000 rounds I have no regrets. Many improvements over the FNP. It was either the M&P or the FNX. The SA DA is what punched my ticket. That said, my next purchase will be the M&P 9 long slide. However the M&P will go directly to the shop for a trigger job. The FNX trigger is much better (in my opinion, which is the only one that matters to me :) ) out of the box.

Gun people sure can be opinionated, can't they? I own a lot of pistols. I also train people with pistols every week as both a concealed handgun instructor and an NRA pistol instructor. Lots of good guns out there - Glocks, Berettas, SIGs, Springfields, FNs. - the differences are often minor and very subjective. I had an FNP-40 and only got rid of it because of an offer I couldn't refuse. Replaced it with an FNX-40. The FNX is in rotation with my SIG P226 Elite 40 and Springfield XDm 45 as a carry gun. Its fit and finish is supurb. It is 100% reliable. Great trigger, some of the best feeling grips I've come across. FN has been making handguns a long time. Most have been for military use. They're built like SIGs, tough and reliable. I found this thread somewhat amusing and interesting starting with Lance’s comments. Gun people sure can be opinionated, can’t they?

While I have trained strong and weak hand, I am a lefty as is my wife. I have handled the FNX at shows and in my opinion, the grip is more comfortable than the Glocks or the XD's. As for the Beretta, I was in the service during the transition from the 1911 to the M9. While I was not happy with the change, at the time, it has grown on me and I feel quite comfortable with it today. I did not feel the the FNX was really better or worse, only different. Until I layed my hands on the FNX I was down to the Ruger SR9 or the S&W M&P. Now my list is growing again. I am also looking at the FNX for the same reasons as Spence.

Very interested being a leftie. This gun looks like what I'm been wanting being totally amidextrous in every way. I was leaning to the XD b/c of only the amidest. mag release. Also, wanted something simple so wife could also use it. Any lefties prefer the FNP? Thx.

After looking at an SR9, Glock 19 and an XD I chose a FNP9. Now price did have a little to do with it (priced better than the Glock and XD) but I liked the feel better than the XD, trigger pull better than the SR9 and looks better than the Glock. To say I'm happy with my decision is an understatement. Between the holidays a friend was in town and we took the FNP9 out shooting and I was plesently surprised, what a sweet shooter. My friend who happens to be a Beretta owner felt the same way and wished he had his 92 present so he could have shot them back to back. As for the Glock 19, that happens to be what my brother-in-law shoots so I'll get to see how it stacks up. In my opinion the FNP9 is a nice piece the trigger pull is great it's light weight has a good grip is quite accurate and there is a lot of history (and quality) behind the FN name!

Depends on how you define success and what market you apply it to.too. I like FN's pistols, but there market share for anything since the HP, especially in the USA, is still near the bottom of the barrell. I work multiple ranges frequented by people shooting for recreation and CHL Q as well as city, county, state, and feds practicing and Qing, and you can go weeks w/o seeing an FN pistol.

They've been pushing the FNX and the FNP to law enforcement because they want to capture more of the market. But by me saying they haven't had success in the handgun market I am CERTAINLY not saying the quality isn't there. I think FN makes extremely well made products, and I think their FNP/FNX handguns are very underrated. But then again, I'm a huge FN fan, and have been since I first was issued an M249. I think part of FN's lack of success in handguns is that for decades they were primarily focused on long guns. Since the Hi-Power, they really didn't push the handgun market until the FNP. But hey, the long guns they've been making are epic -- the FAL (in the same class as the Kalashnikov and AR series rifles), the minimi, as well as their M240 lineup.

It's accurate, reliable, and durable enough for anybody by any objective measurement. Subjective issues like grip feel and trigger pull will obviously vary. Without a decent DAO option and a compact model, it is going nowhere fast in the US LE market. There are enough external and internal differences w the pistol and magazines to warrant a new name.

I own just about every gun mentioned, except the USG 57. If the FNX releases are any improvement on the FNP series then it's diffinitely a keeper. I love my FNP.45. Granted...it's a hand full but the show stops right there with you if ever needed in a self defense situation, a proven fact. Taking in the size of the new FNX, it' s going to be a conceal carry dream. Thanks for bearing with me. Two cents added to the above comments. I own just about every gun mentioned, except the USG 57.

I found a site that sells barrels for .40. This will allow me to convert the FNP-357 to an FNP-40. Two gun calibers for the price of a barrel. Versatility is always good. I am happy with the FNP-357 and it is my conceal carry. I own the FNP-357. I found a site that sells barrels for .40. This will allow me to convert the FNP-357 to an FNP-40.

I have the FN PS90, USG 57, FNP45 and just bought the FNP9, I also own the Beretta 92 and the Glock 17. I bought the FNP9 because of how impressed I am with FN's weapons...they really are like no other. They are well built, look good and work perfectly. I have never had one issue with any of them and since I work next door to the gun club...I shoot at least 3 times a week (rough I know). Owning the FNP45 I prefer the FNP9's grips, the FNP45 is rough holding without gloves, I prefer to shoot bare handed but usually wear gloves when I take it to the range. The minor differences between the two I chose the FNP over the FNX...the slide looks the same...how many notches do you need on a rail on a pistol and I prefer the grip pattern on the FNP. The only real other change is the safetey and for my carry the FNP is excellent. Compared to the others the Beretta has a massive oversized grip unless you have huge hands I could not see anyone prefer that over any 9 in this class. Compared the Glock I would say no difference between the two grips in my opinion. Stock trigger I would lean to the FNP over the other two followed by the Glock then the Beretta. I modified my Glock and put in the Ghost Trigger upgrade (best investment you will ever make on a Glock) so out of all of my pistols nothing beats the pull and travel on my Glock now. Anyway just my opinion, but had to chime in when unfounded claims are made. Thoughts I would leave my 2 cents…first Lance…do some research before you post it makes you look silly.
