I recently purchased an FNP 9 in December and i wanted to make a post regarding my first range trip. After purchasing my gun I cleaned and Lubricated it before going to the shooting range. My first trip I fired 250 rounds of Remington UMC 115gr and 50 rounds of the Hornady Critical Defense 115gr. Throughout my entire first range expirience I probably had an overall of 15-20 failures. After shooting i wasnt really worried because i had read on this forum that some guns needed a break-in due to their stiff recoil springs. So i went to the range again four days after my first trip and fired an additional 100 rounds of magtech 115gr, 100 rounds of federal red box 115gr, and 50 more additional Hornady Critical Defense(got expensive). Within the first 2 magazines of magtech i had two FTFs. The rest of the range trip got much better. I fired 230 more rounds with zero issues. Following that range trip i have gone to the range at least once a week and I know have had an additional 1,250 rounds throught my gun with zero failures. Roughly each range trip i fired around 200 rounds of Federal 115 grain ammo. So i make this post for new fnp owners who get dissapointed for their first 200 rounds thru their gun. It gets much better. This gun is amazingly reliable, accurate, and fun to shoot. :smile:
