When FN introduced the FNP a few years ago, I owned two--a 9mm and 40 S&W. Both had design error magazine issues. The 40 S&W broke a front rail, and the 9 developed a glitch in the module containing the sear mechanism. FN fixed both pistols, although the mag issues remained. Also I had an FNP .45 that had the same type mag issues. At that time, FN required that any defective FNP handgun be returned to them for repair. No parts were available.
That's all changed. FN's FNX pistols are refined versions free of the previous issues. Parts including complete slides and barrels are available from MGW(Midwest Gun Works). MGW is a Browning/FN warranty repair center. Prices for the FNX parts are very reasonable. I bought a new FNX 40 and really like it. After I put a few hundred rounds through it, I'll post more information. I've shot it 150 times to check function and point of impact. So far, so good. FN ships it with three mags. The FNX is bigger than a Glock 19 and won't lend itself to effortless concealed carry. It lacks the elegant simplicity of the Glock, but does show FN quality in its manufacture.
