They weren't great sellers for me when I was in the business, never the
less, it's an excellent choice...Congrats!...Ben

No one really seems to know about FN for the most part, but everything they make is top quality. I can't wait for it to get here

Yep, they've been making fine guns over a hundred years (including one of my favorites, the Browning Hi Power)...Let us know how it shoots...Ben

Which dealer? The .40 S&W is not my round of choice, but FN is a good choice.

CDNN up in Abilene, I usually try to buy local what I can, but when the price difference is almost 25% of the total cost mail order wins. I've owned over the years .357 Mag, 9mm, .357 Sig, and .40 S&W handguns, revolver is always going to be .357 Mag for me, of the 3 auto loader calibers I prefer .357 Sig but it is very hard on the gun.

I'm looking to pick up the FNP-45. I'm thinking I'd better hurry before prices start to skyrocket. :(

Yep on the gun sales. Get em while you can - wish I had the cash for it right now (may put up some lenses for trade soon). Got only one firearm left on the papers.

On another note. Ain't nobody gonna break into your new house Mike, and make it out unscathed. (I recommend getting a sword or two also - they never run out of ammo)

Nice weapon.

I have purchased a few new ones too.

Just a couple are the Kimber Ultra Carry .45 and the Rock River Arms LAR-9 A4 (9mm AR15) with an Eotech holographic sight.

I used to have a Browning Hi Power and it was a very nice pistol. You'll love the new pistol.
