I have been looking at a new FNP-9. Never owned one or know anyone who has. Are they reliable guns and what would be a fair price to pay?

I had one and loved it. Only reason I sold it was I was not fond of the DA/SA platform. Even though the trigger was the nicest I had shot in DA/SA. However, I do have a hankering for the new FNX9. I was going to get the USG version, but I much prefer the safety lever design of the FNX line.

The FNP40 is my EDC. Shoots like a dream and has the best trigger out there under $600.

Owned one as well and loved it. It's a solid pistol.

I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

This pistol handles well. Solidly built. I think I saw one on ### for 400.00, but that seems low compared to what they normally go used.

I have a FNP-40...its my EDC as well. FNP's seem to handle just about any ammo you throw at it...solid reliable and accurate

That's mine..While it may seem low, I only got a handful of offers.

As for the FNP, I thinks it's a great gun overall, it's just not flashy. That being the case many over look it.

Most that have shot one, tend to like them.

I agree. I have one and really like it. They are usually listed among the top whenever a question about the best gun for the price comes up. They do not get mentioned in casual conversation, however.

I think they go unmentioned, because the don't seem to be heavily marketed. EVERYbody knows what a Smith & Wesson, or Springfield, or Glock is, even if they don't own or like guns... Mention FN Herstal and they think you are talking about the newest coolest blue jeans at the mall...

I have been looking at these also as our first "house-gun" that my wife and I can both shoot. She doesnt like my 38 snubbie... I have read nothing but great reviews on them, with the only negative being how wide the ambi-takedown levers are. The FNX series fixes this from what I have seen.

Basically, the safety/decocker is updated, the rail is more standard, and the grip texture is updated to be more like the FNP-45.

Here is a picture of the two:

The FNX also has a serrated section on the front half of the slide, in addition to the rear.

Decocker... got it... I had a mental lapse and forgot what they were actually called...

I wonder if it is possible to remove some or all of the actual protruding lever from one side, to make it a purely RH function?

We gave around 550 for our two tone, the solids were cheaper. It's a very good gun, very accurate, and easy to clean.
