These type posts (parts failure, broken or guns that will not fire at all, after only a few rounds fired, etc.) are occurring here, and on other gunboards, with what to me appears an alarming frequency.

I sure hope FNH would put out some official information on what they are doing to correct it. (And, the other problems reported in this section.I.E cracked frames, weak mag springs, etc.)

Specifically, if these are truly design flaws as some have alleged in the general FNP discussion area, or a result of a batch of a bad, and, or, out of spec parts run.

I REALLY want to buy one of these guns, but posts like these have me too spooked to do so.

Seems a LOT of folks are having to return these guns to the factory. More-so than any other new model run out guns that I can recall in a long while.

I STILL do not know what he factory is doing to make them right?

Can any of you guys post what they actually did to correct any problems you had with your guns? How long were you without your gun? Was the process easy, hard? Any cost to you for shipping?

The silence on the 'issues' with the FNP series (and any causes and fixes) from FNH is deafening.

Which is why I have been clamoring for FNH to address this issues and the others with us, straight forwardly and in PUBLIC, on this board or another venue, or by mailing the owners and dealers.

Anything less, is rank disrespect for their customers, and potential customers, saftey.

So let's have FNH, what is going on with these guns, why, and, what are you doing to correct it? These are not questions you can avoid answering any longer.

Tell us the serial number range that these problems exist so we can avoid buying them until you get the revisions are in place. And, if one is unfortunate to own one of the 'bad' ones in that range, advise them to stop shooting it them, issue a call tag for it to be replaced with updated parts or a new gun. THAT would do much to enhancing credibility and PR and be the responsible action.

Not wait until some unwary person gets killed, or injured, as the result of a faulty firearm!

Should someone be injured as a result of your silence their lawyers would have a field-day with you; as these threads (I am sure they have been cut and pasted by someone.) would serve as evidence you had prior knowledge your product had defects and you refused to advise your customers and public though apprised of them and asked to do so repeatedly.

Wonder if that Texturing is a contributing factor to these frames cracking???

Maybe some sort of flaw in the mixing of the particular polymer batch prior to mold process?

I'd bet that the VAST, VAST majority of FNP owners don't even know that this forum exists, let alone post reports of their problems to it. I think the trigger group crack is a serious problem and has happened enough so that FNH is aware that there is probably a design flaw.

I have had conversations with FNH-USA representatives about this issue that lead me to believe that a frame redesign is underway, or has already been undertaken. I WILL NOT divulge who I talked to or exactly what leads me to believe this, because the question was not answered directly nor for public consumption.

It'll be interesting to see if the "Dark Earth" FNPs have the same frame design...

I have only seen a few posts on this subject, and you should probably believe that if it happens to ANYONE, they would post it on the first FN forum they find.

So, IMO, there are probably few cases of this happening, could be a bad batch of guns?

I have about 1,000+ rnds through my FNP9 and not a single malfunction or problem.

ANY more info on the" frame redisgn" and when it's supposed to take place?
