FN-9 Problems? Range report???

Texas Rifleman · December 31, 2008, 03:14 PM

I've tried to find quality/reliability problems with the FN-9 on forums and am having a really hard time finding anything wrong with it or complaints. I'm looking into getting a 9mm. I like DA/SA. The FN-9 is a great looking gun and seems to be completely awesome. Can anyone tell me otherwise?

I remember a while back they had problems with the trigger block cracking.

As he stated, that WAS a problem, but no longer. I have an FNP9 and I really like it. Great quality, great service, and comes with 3 - high cap. mags. It's a really great gun, especially for the price. There's a reason you can't find many complaints on it.

Also, check out the fnforum.

There were a few modules crack on a early batch..it never put any of them out of action at any rate. yes there is a FNP9 and FNP45 at my house, and my son likes his FNP9 alot as well. I would recommend one to anybody.

Yes, they seem to have fixed that issue a while back. The pistols are pretty good.

Best bargain on the market today.....

The cracking trigger housing are a thing of the past. Mine is very accurate more accurate than me and has never had a hiccup.....

They are a nice alternative to the highly marketed DAO polymer striker fired pistols. Solid, no-nonsense design. I own an FNP-9M which is just right for my smaller type hands. It's a great tool.

Had my FNP-9 for a couple of years, many trips to the range. No problems. Requires a firm grasp because it is fairly light. But accurate if held firmly.

I have relatively small hands and find it much more comfortable than a Ruger P series pistol.

I saw a promotion somewhere which included the regular package plus a Blackhawk holster kit....seem like a good deal!
