FNH

[bobby knight]

I have not seen much about The FNH's on here and wondered if anyone has an FSN 9 and how they like it.

Sorry, I don't own the 9, but I do have the .45 tactical, and it is a very good shooter. Came with 3 mags and I have been pretty happy. I did own the FNP .40, and it was a good gun too. I would have kept it if it was in 9mm, but I got rid of everything in .40. I wouldn't have a problem recommending any of there handguns.

That being said, I can't think of a single handgun they make that would lend itself well to concealed carry. The FNS9 falls into this category, too big for me to carry.

And here is a review from one of our other members.

Thanks for your feedback. The FNS has a nice grip for a double stack mag. It fits my short, fat fingers well.

I've handled the FNS and the FNX and one thing that stood out to me was how nice the trigger was. I almost bought a used one at Beech Grove Firearms a couple months ago just from how sweet the trigger felt.

I have an FNP9 and I have no regrets buying it.

I read a review in Guns and Ammo about how bad the trigger was, but that is definitely not the case with mine. They did say it was one of the first off the assy. line though.

I have the FNX .45, loved it from the start. I have run 2K rounds thru it and it's even better now.

I have an FNP-9 and an FNS-9, both outstanding, reliable and fun to shoot! I would never hesitate to buy one.

I had an fns 9 and one in 40. The grip texture is pretty aggressive but nothing a light rub with some fine grit sandpaper won't fix. Very good handling, though they seem to get alittle hot due to the thinner barrel. Overall I thought they were pretty good

I have the fns 40. they are good pistols.

I've handled the older FN9 (FNP9 ?), and the FNS9 and they are great. NOT a CCW in my opinion, but great shooting guns - they're more of a full-size duty pistol
I'm a lefty and they have lefty-friendly controls, but I've mostly stayed with Glocks for accessories.
FN makes some very nice guns. In my experience the fit and finish has been top notch, great shooters, and fair prices. I've heard that extra mags can be a bit pricey

Bullseye

My petite wife shoots well with her FNX-9. Her very first round shooting any handgun she punched a hole right in the middle of the bullseye. An enjoyable, comfortable, accurate, fun gun to shoot. Has lefty friendly controls for her. Would be a challenge to conceal.

Resurrecting this old thread. I purchased a FNS40 about a year ago and really like it. In fact I like it so much that I recently traded of a G22 Gen 3 for a FNX 40.
Things that I like about the FN pistols is the true ambidextrous controls, grip texture, and the feel of the pistols in the hand. One thing that I dislike about the FN pistols is the cost of magazines. But as each pistol has 3 magazines, I will be ok.

i love my FN9c. ive owned a lot of carry guns, and its been the best one I found. It was stuff at first, and I had a couple jammed rounds at first, but once I put 200 rounds through it and broke it in, its been fine ever since.

I bought a 509 late last summer and it runs like a sewing machine with any type of ammo you want to put through it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hype or live for FN pistols, but I have to say they seem like a best kept secret to me.

I have to agree that there is very little hype for FN pistols.

 

[smythe012]

Sold (almost) all my Glocks for the FNS-9s. The trigger, grip texture, grip angle and even standard sights were all better out of the box. I would have gone with the 509 but the magazines aren’t compatible with the FNS. series unless you change baseplates.

Overall, I think these pistols are excellent and a huge value for what they are going for these days ($350-$375ish). Magazines are still pricey but at least you get three with a new purchase.

Agree. The FNS 9c replaced a Glock 19 as my EDC for those very reasons. I've also been eyeballin' an FNX 45 . . . Saw one at the 1500 for $600.
