    I saw that lowpriceguns.com also increased their price. 17 mags ordered though!
    LOL, no wonder they jacked the prices up, haha. Damn, and I thought I was ordering a bunch grabbing 6(I already have 5 or 6 mags for it, couldn't pass up another 6 for the cost of what 1 normally runs).

      I needed 10 for my new .40 and figured since I previously bought 3 for my 9mm I might as well get another 7.... Make it a nice even number - total of 13 9mm and 11 .40 mags. Not counting rebuilds....

        I'll probably order another 4 to make it an even 10. I don't like reloading magazines =/ BUT it is awesome firing 6 magazines instead of 3

            Pm'd the offerors, thanks guys! Found a pretty good deal at Insight that may be hard to pass up. Within $35 of ordering online so tough to justify not buying local especially since online orders still have tax.

              Had mine for a few months and have taken it to the range a couple times. Very pleased with the way it shoots and feels in my hand. So glad it was my first handgun purchase. I too got the two-tone.

                Make sure it is in stock.

                    I had one ordered for two months before I got it somewhere else. Just a caution.

                      I have the FNP-40 and I love it! Some say they aren't fond of the trigger but I think its great personally. However, there are 2 issues with it that I don't like:

                      1. The mag release is very picky. You have to press it squarely and firmly in order to drop the mag. If you don't get a solid press, the mag won't drop. This can be an issue if you have small hands like I do.

                      2. Unless the slide is locked back, when inserting a magazine it is VERY hard to seat! I have to slam that thing home with a lot of force or else it won't fully click in, and the mag will just drop on the floor. I've never experienced this issue with any other gun I've shot/owned.

                      These 2 issues aside, it's a damn fine weapon. Solid, lightweight, accurate, reliable, and comfortable.

                          I hear it's a great gun and I actually bought one because all the great things I heard about it but traded it for an AK47 -- I have too many pistols to justify owning another one.

                          At around $400, it's a good deal.

                              Cheaperthandirt.com is currently selling the FNP-9 and FNP-40 for $356.99 in all-black or stainless:
                              FNP-9 black = http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2FN47829-1.html
                              FNP-9 SS = http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2FN47831-1.html
                              FNP-40 black = http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2FN47833-1.html
                              FNP-40 SS = http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2FN47835-1.html

                              Ambientsw.com has FNP mags for $8.99: www.ambientsw.com/rcmgfn47104.html
                              Cheaperthandirt has the same mags for $11.79: www.cheaperthandirt.com/2MGFN47104-1.html

                              $357 is a bargain for this gun. I just picked up a used FNP-9 USG and ordered 10 mags. Can't wait to get it! I might have to spring for the FNP-40.
