Inside the Pistols of FNH USA (Page 2)

Fabrique Nationale has branched out into polymer handguns.

I was fortunate enough to fire one of the latest prototypes, a select-fire FNP-9 pistol. The model does not yet have a formal designation, and it is unknown if any production pistols will be made. In full-automatic firing the pistol was surprisingly manageable. Even with its high rate of fire, it proved to be reliable and very controllable with just minor practice. Although the select-fire pistol has some unique features, the basics of the pistol remain identical to production pistols—this attests to the strength and reliability of the FNP design.


Military and law-enforcement pistols are built to order, and the company gladly accepts special requests. Numerous U.S. law enforcement agencies use FNPs, and they have been adopted in Spain, the Dominican Republic, and Middle Eastern countries among others.


FNH USA has always been community-minded. When it learned that South Carolina had budget problems to acquire new handguns for its Dept. of Corrections, the company stepped up and donated the pistols. The FNP line proves that reliable, quality products can be built in the U.S. without compromising features or affordability.

Im Joe, and I myself own 2 FN pistols, the first was the FNP 45 and the second which was just purchased was the FNX 45. I purchased another, because I was just so pleased with the reliability and performance of the fine crafted piece of equipment. I have about 8,000 rounds through the older FNP, without one single failure to feed, hiccup or any problem whatsoever, so besides bragging about this quality firearm, I would also like to thank the company of FNH for their fine super high quality firearms, I would reccomend these fantastic firearms to any law enforcement and Military in the world.

My personal opinion of FN products is they are FANTASTIC firearms. I have a matte black FNP 45 and I have easily put 15,000 rounds through it without one single failure. My hobby is guns, I know guns very well, so my advice to anyone wanting a great reliable firearm, FN is the way to go, they are extraordinary weapons. That's fact.
