Hey all,

 

After much research and handling a lot of different semi autos I've kinda made up my mind but:

 

I humbly request advice and opinions on the FNS .40. or 9mm

 

Does anyone have it?...if so

• How would it be for a newer shooter?
  
• Is it easy to care for?
  
• is it reliable? durable?
  
• how does it compare (in your opinion) to other .40 pistols?
  

My other choices are the S&W M&P .40/9mm and the Sig 2022 .40/9mm

I like the way all three feel as far as hand comfort, size, grip style & texture but havent had the opportunity to shoot all three

Any information, advice, help would greatly be appreciated.

 

FYI: 89 days left before permit expires

 

Thanks in advance!

I cannot comment on the FN, but i have an M&P .40 and a P229 and love them both. My M&P was my 1st pistol. Only thing i would say is .40 is a little snappy for the polymer frame of the M&P, it feels much better in an all-metal gun such as the Sig...

Love my M&P9

check your PMs OP!

I just picked up an fns9 a few days ago. it breaks down like any other semi auto. doesnt seem like it will be harder than any other to care for. The fns is very comfortable in my hand feels natural. I will be shooting it this weekend. and i will update with how i like it. I already have a few .40's and have had a few 9mm's and have shot a good mix of pistols. The fns just feels the best in my hand. I like how the sights line up and the night sights are great. ive heard the fns .40 is not as snappy as other poly .40's but i havent shot it so i cant say for sure.

FYI all...Just purchased the S&W M&P9.

After fondling and shooting other .45s, .40s and 9mms…the M&P won outright for ergonomics, shooting ability (handling) and availability of accessories.

It’s awaiting Nics clearance until she can come home…. Sigh…thanks all!!

Congrats.
