So today I was fondling an FNP-9 at Bay Area Gun Vault, and was favorably impressed with it. When I looked at the frame, there was a small circle indent that looked like some paint belonged in there, allowing it to be covered up by the decocking lever, leading me to believe that the gun allowed cocked and locked carry. But I couldn't get the lever to move upwards, neither could the employee, and the manual made no mention of a safety feature like that either. I jumped online and took a look around, it seems the SAO version is no longer made. Was I just not pushing on the lever upwards hard enough? Or is it specific only to what I believe is the "USG" model (I don't think it's CA legal)? Can one buy a conversion hammer unit to allow cocked and locked?

The FNP-9 is a decocker only and there is a firing pin block safety so unless the trigger is pulled there should not be an accidental discharge, there is no safety position for cocked and locked carry.
They probably use the same tooling to make the FNX-9 but that model is not legal in CA.Using C Products 10 round magazines in my AR-15...just to be "safe"... -
I'm pretty sure they make FNP 9s that can be cocked and locked, they might be the tan ones only though. The hammer drop is replaced by a manual safety. I don't you think can convert the hammer drop to a safety.Comment

Nope, FNP-9's are DA/SA with a decocker and you can't change the mechanism or convert it. The Tan was a different color frame only and was never on the CA roster.
I got my FNP-9 a few months and it is an awesome gun with a crisp break and short reset trigger. The stainless parts are easy to clean and the gun is very light with modest recoil.
