I just bought an FNP40 havent fired it yet . Waiting for the weather to clear , range is outside. I normally go for the Sig but the FN caught my attention , love the feel , dont like the rattle when the clips 1/2 full . I'm hopefull it will shoot well

I find it interesting that since earlier today when you found out you need 30 posts to use the EE, you've gone from 4 posts to 13.

At least try to make it look legitimate, perhaps by posting handgun questions in the appropriate forum.

Also I wasn't a fan of how the magazine, or "clip" as your eloquently put, does not drop free. Even when empty on all the FNPs I've shot. I haven't shot the 45 though, and with all it offers for the price it is slightly tempting.

I'd like to take a look at a FNP-45 some day, though the prices seem to keep going up

I think they make a fine handgun. I lump them in with the Glock/Sigpro strain of functional but boring handguns.

No experience with drop-free problems on the FNPs, but I found the new FNX to spit the mags out freely. So freely, in fact, that at SHOT I gracefully shot the empty mag across the floor and just out of reach, forcing me to put the tethered pistol back on it's holder, go get the mag, and take it back over to the pistol. I'm sure there was an FN employee laughing (or growling) somewhere watching me...

While not a handgun site, the handgun forum gets pretty good traffic thru it. If it is moving to slow for you, may I suggest some Ritalin?

I shot an FNP45 a while ago. I really liked it.

Very low recoil. Comfortable in the hand.

Wish I could have one.

I was tempted awhile ago and I even saw one for a great price at a pawn shop but it just isn't different enough from my other polymer guns to justify...at least not at the moment :D
