The wife is looking for her first handgun. She has "internet" narrowed it down to the FNX-9. Does anyone know a shop that has one she can touch and possibly buy? She has her permit already. I haven't seen it offered with <=15 round mag anywhere.

Try putting in a price request here on the forum.

The only shop I have seen that carries FNH pistols is Cabelas. I handled a bunch to see the difference between the FNP and FNX. They also had the tactical and USG.

fnx-9 is at classic pistol in pa

rented it there.

 

you won't find fnx-9 in stores in NJ because they aren't made with anything but 17 round mags

Couldn't any FFL take delivery of the weapon and modify the mags for compliance?

This .... atleast I imagine this would be the solution. How much are these guns MSRPing at?

Not much of a profit on pinned mags, so most FFLs don't want to bother with it. That being said, there are a few forum vendors that may be willing to do it for you. Use the price request.

I used the price request. 2 have already responded with prices (varying wildly) and one responded that they can order. Clearly these guys have a way of selling it in NJ for us.

Don't be afraid to haggle too

Well it's easy for them to just sell you the pistol with no mag. Then it's up to you to find the legal mags, which in this case, unfortunately don't exist. All I have seen are 16 and 17rders.

Another option would be to look at the FNX-40. It's chambered in .40 S&W, so that's something to consider since this will be your wife's pistol. However, it has a 14 round magazine and you wouldn't have these capacity restriction issues if you decided to buy it.
