FNP 40 ????

[cknight8]

what do you guys think about the FNP40? what is a decent price on a nice used one with 2 hi-cap mags? i found one that i'm semi-interested in, i just don't know much about them.

thanks!

i was looking into them the other day. some people say its pretty solid built. there is a guy called nutnfancy -sp? on youtube that does a 2 or 3 part review on them. i am not sure if they made a .45 version but i know they do have a 9, and .40. i would love to own one in a 40 or 45. i say if you can get one for 550 or under you are good. any over that and it'd better be brand new.

$550 is way high. You can get them New from CDNN for $439. I had the 9 and it was an absolutely great gun. The trigger is really good in both DA and SA. Only reason I sold it was I prefer SAO and finding a FNP SAO is like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I have to admit that the dual finish guns are some of the prettiest guns I have ever seen!

BTW - the .45 was released last year to rave reviews. Pick up just about any gun rag and you will see it mentioned somewhere.

the fnp40 is the same gun as the browning pro40 im pretty sure anyway, i was told gander mountain in knoxville had them on sale for $400 i dont know it for a fact but it might be worth checking out.

Meant to put 450.

The pro40 is the same gun. FN makes them and browning puts their name on them and usually bumps up the price. The only drawbacks are their newness to the market. Holster selection and sights haven't caught up to them yet.

I just bought a FNP-40 2 weeks ago...from what I'd seen at gun shows and on the net msrp was in the $550-575 neighborhood. I didn't go into the gunshop to dicker...from what I'm reading maybe I shoulda. For my $$$ I got the gun and 3 hi-cap mags. I like the way it feels and shoots. Plus I sent in my sale receipt(copy) to FNH and they're sending me a holster and 2 mag holders (a shooters pack) FREE...

cant beat free !

[Guest mustangdave]

oh heck no...and I didn't have to stand in line either.

My brother has the FNP40 and he loves it. The first time I shot it I was hitting 3 inch groups at 20 yards. It is rather bulky for carrying, but it would be hard to beat for home defense. Some military groups are using them now.

[Guest mustangdave]

I am liking the heck out of this gun...just the right size for a carry gun...at least to me anyway...compact enough to not be obvious

[Guest mustangdave]

Got my "shooters pack" from FNH yesterday...paddle holster and magazine holders.

My FNP40 is my EDC. It is spot on accurate and has been 100% reliable after 1000 rds. FN has a great reputation for quality and customer service. You can't go wrong. I got mine at Bass Pro Shops this summer when they had them on sale for $439. It was the last one they had in stock so I got another 10% off that for being a display. And BPS had the shooters pack in stock, so I got it right then. (Even though I don't use it)

I contacted thier marketing department about where I could go to buy a hat... they sent me one for free, plus 3 tee shirts and 6 hat pins. Awesome!

http://www.dmbullardleather.com/ makes custom leather holsters for the FNP 9/40 that are excellent quality and cheaper than most big name companies BTW...

I think we've bounced the FREEBIE items around on another thread...mine'll be here tomorrow. Seriously though...this weapon is SPOT ON...my brother in law gave it an...eh...its ok evaluation...but he's in love with his $1100 Sig 1911:koolaid:...I would love to be at CIS this weekend and observe him during the live fire session.
