How much is a fnp 9

It is one of the most duty-ready guns that I have had the chance to evaluate. The FNH engineers designed the impact resistant polymer frame with hard use in mind. Its frontstrap has grenade style checkering for a secure firing grip. It provides the shooter with enough texture to prevent slipping but does not have the sharp pyramid points of traditional checkering that can snag clothing and tear flesh.

It felt good in my hand but I loosened the single slotted screw and slid the flat backstrap into place. The flat backstrap might also be a better choice for those with smaller hands, as it will give them better access to the trigger.

Subsequent shots, unless the decocker is used, will be SA, a light, short and relatively crisp with a pull weight right around 4 pounds. Its external extractor also pulls double duty as a loaded chamber indicator and can be tactilely or visually confirmed as its top edge is painted red.

One of the few criticisms that I have of the FNP-9 is that the sights are too small. They are low profile and sit close to the slide top. Getting a clear, sharp sight picture was tough and group sizes suffered somewhat from this. But, even with that, the groups show plenty of promise for a service type weapon.

All three of these loads gave excellent accuracy, good slide velocity and flawless reliability. The FNP-9 spreads recoil over a larger area, and is comfortable and controllable to shoot even with the hottest loads.

The test pistol proved to be completely reliable with all loads tried. The FNP-9 digested an assortment of bullet weights and bullet nose configuration without a bobble. They're a snug fit, so use more caution than mallet.

Users of s can easily make the leap here and see that the FN inserts achieve the same effects as do the flat and arched mainspring housings of the the grip circumference is decreased or not and the grip angle changed as well. The tastefully sculpted slide has white-dot-bearing front and rear sights. Both are low mounted but still large enough and snag-free, riding in dovetail cuts for windage adjustment or sight replacement.

The external extractor, at the right rear of the large ejection port, also serves as a loaded-chamber indicator. Eleven diagonal grasping grooves are at the rear of the slide. Trigger-pull weight on both guns ran in the acceptable-for-government-work range of just over 12 pounds double action and slightly over five pounds single action. Neither were what anyone would call target-grade triggers, but then these pistols are not directed to be used against paper targets.

I could have skipped this exercise, though, as the guns shot everything without fail. John and I did the table-top target work, with our five-shot groups averaging three to five inches.

I also don't see them as wall-mounted displays or "safe queens. Give a Gift Subscriber Services. See All Special Interest Magazines. All Handguns subscribers now have digital access to their magazine content.
