I just purchased an FNP-45 over the weekend (I'm going to the range in the morning) and I'm curious if it is possible to convert it so that I can carry it "Cocked and Locked" like my 1911? I really was not in the market for a new pistol, and I'm happy with my Wilson CQB, but I've been wanting something with more capacity.
I spoke with someone at the factory, and that individual said that an "FNP-45 USG" that can be carried "Cocked & Locked" should be hitting the market in the next few months. So back to the original question, can the one that I now have be converted? Anyone from FNH what to take this one, I really want to make this an on-duty, "Condition One," "Cocked and Locked" pistol.
I got my hands on a Taurus OSS 24/7 and I was very impressed with the grip diameter and the trigger pull, but it only held 12 rounds, and they are made in Brazil. Nothing wrong with that, but I try to purchase firearms that were manufactured in countries were the average citizen can purchase one (Nothing from China, Canada or the UK, although if you want to give me a Purdey side-by-side I probably wouldn't say no). Then the salesman (aka Crack Dealer) brought out the FNP-45, swapped out the arched backstrap for the flat one, and away I went with a new tool that was had at a decent price ($600.00), made in the USA, fit my hand perfectly, holds 14-rounds, and I think looks really cool.
