FNP9 - any reason not to buy?

[koios]

Really?! I had no idea. I can't imagine the hassle of CA's laws would outweigh the benefits of selling to such a huge market - but I guess it does.

I only recently became a gun owner, so I never gave much thought to the laws. Now I'm more shocked all the time by the arbitrary nature of them. I want to get the FNX - but no joy. I'd like to have the FNP 9 or 40 in flat dark earth - but it too is off roster. Same gun as the stainless FNP-9 that I got...just a different color. Amazing.

I wish I could find mags at those prices for my other guns. Two goddamn 10 rounders for my USP45 ran me 66 shipped.

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.

The issue with the mag release is actually flex in the frame binding the mag, not the release itself. I figured out a 100% sure method to drop the mags but it requires a small shifting of your grip: From a right handed shooter's point of view, put your right middle finger on the trigger guard as your right thumb pushes the release button and it will work every-time. I have not had the problem of mags not seating but perhaps you are using the normal capacity and not the 10 round CA neutered version?

I loved how the USG FNP looked with that FDE. I was thinking of getting my frame done to make it look just like it. I'm fond of my all black but that'll always be an option for later.

I was going to order from them and kept on getting errors. I called and the said "sorry" even though I pointed out the gun was doj approved.

I LOVE the FDE too... Just picked up my .40 and waiting on the Ameriglo sights then taking both to get them installed. All I gotta do is swap the mag release on the 9mm back to the left and we're gtg!
