FNS-9 Compact

[Parrothead]

This gun has been on my "wish they would make it list" as long as the single stack 9mm glock. Something about the ergonomics of the FNS full size fits my hand perfectly. There have been rumors (and pictures) of this model floating around the net for a few months but it was finally announced by the FNH.

 

 

Time to start saving the pennies. I'm not normally one to do free beta testing for a company but i will buy one of these as soon as i can put my hands on one.

That sure looks pretty! 

 

I have a FNX-9 that I absolutely love. It is by far my favorite gun to shoot at the range. 

 

Sadly it is my wife's favorite too and thus is usually in her possession!

This may be my next carry gun. I love my fnx 9 and my fnp 45. They fit my hand well, shoot well, eat any ammo I feed them and I really like the triggers. Hopefully the striker fired compact will be just as good.

Placed my order today at the LGS. They had a .40 in stock so I was able to get a feel for it. I'm excited about the nine. It's going to be a great carry gun. And, like the FNS, it ships with 3 mags--one flat baseplate, one with the pinky extension and one full size (17 round) mag with the sleeve built in.

Should have it Friday or maybe Monday. Probably won't make it to the range this weekend but I'll update once It's delivered.

*oh and I was able to order the model without the manual safety. I know that matters to some (me)* Edited January 13, 2015 by Parrothead

I've got my 9 and 40 fix for now but the FN FNX-45 (not the Tac version) has caught my eye. But those are sharp looking.

She has arrived. Much better with the flat base-plate.

 

Size comparison against the full size FNS-9

 

[nightrunner]

Hmmm I really like that. May have to look into those, any size comparison to a glock by chance?

[Parrothead]

I can do a Glock 30sf later if that would help?

For what it's worth, the full size is designed to be in between a G17 and G19. You do retain 17+1 capacity.

The compact is between the G19 and G26. It is very close to the size of the G26 but you get a capacity of 12+1 without a extended magazine. Edited January 17, 2015 by Parrothead

I really wish FN would expand some more on the FNX line, it's killing me man. I NEED a FNX-9 Tac!!!

The Glock 30sf would be great for you to show. I have a 30sf myself and I'm really on board to get the compact fns9. How is the trigger on the compact?

I'm really hoping that with the new FNX and FNS lines, FN is finally getting serious about the modern combat handgun business.  They've kinda flirted around it for years now.

I have been waiting for the compact to come out. Can someone post the height with the flush magazine?
