The FN Reps had the entire product line at a local shooting range's member appreciation day. Shoot the PS 90, FN 2000, 5.7!!! THEY supplied the ammo.
What a hoot!

Also, fondled the new FNP-357 Sig. YES, .357 Sig! (Said to be released, "in about a month.")

I am VERY impressed with the FNP-40 and the FNP-45. GREAT triggers and accuracy. ::!!!::

:? :? :?

FNP-45 had great ergonomics. MUCH better than the Glock and XD series guns. IMHO. :? :? :?


The .40 is a keeper as well.

I'da bought the demo .357 Sig on the spot, but they would not sell it to me.

:? :? :?

Very kewl.

Does the FNP45 look like it does in the promo pics, or has the texturing been changed to match the 40/9mm version?

Cant wait for the FNP 45 - did the reps say if there will be a SAO version!?

Release date for the FNP 45 is?

FNP 45 price on impact guns

I figured you guys might be interested to see this:

http://www.impactguns.com/store/fn_fnp40.html
If you scroll to the bottom of this section of the impactguns site, they show the pricing for the FNP-45. Note that it is still not available, but they will be taking orders "soon". I was mostly interested to see the pricing. Looks like quite a deal for a decent .45

 

[Setzer77]

the .45 seems to be priced the same as the other variants, although the list price for that site is rather high.

I too am curious about what it actually looks like....that rail on the front bothers me.

Here's hoping they offer a shooting pack like the FNPs have now to sweeten the deal.

Shooters Pack

Yeah, that would be a nice bonus if they offered the shooters pack for the 45, but it wouldn't be a deal stopper for me. Who needs a training barrel anyway, train as you fight eh?

Hopefully it will be only a matter of days before all our anxious questions are answered. October here we come, 45 fans.

If $507 is a high list price, I wonder what a reasonable price will be for the 45. Typically the 45's run a tad bit more than the smaller calibers.

 

[BlitzPig]

As I recall there will only be 400 FNP 45s available for the entire US the first year. I'd be willing to bet that price goes way up upon release.

 

[B52U]

Obscurity

I bet the obscurity of it keeps it reasonable. FN is in this to make money, so they'll ramp up production as fast as they possibly can.

 

[Uncle Screwtape]

I went to the gun shop today to inquire about the FNP45.

Nothing in their computers yet so he called the FN rep.

No definate release date yet.

MSRP $599.

That's all the info I could get.

Waiting..........

Tanners in Pa. will be much cheaper, I would be willing to bet.

 

[B52U]

I went to the local shop yesterday as well. They called the FN rep, they said probably not until Dec (which contradicts earlier reports of October) and the MSRP was going to be $559 which seemed too high to me. I'm going to call the local impactguns shop (they are in our state) and see if they are going to honor the $507 price even after they actually get them in stock.

 

[ShipWreck]

Realize that MSRP for guns is always higher than the street price. That's the highest price the gougers can charge w/o being an obvious gouger.

U can almost always find a gun lower than MSRP.

One word:

Tanners! :?

When the FNP-45 didn't come out in August I sent FN USA an e-mail and asked about the availability of the pistol to the market. I was told October when I made my inquiry. However, this month is almost over so the wait goes on!!!

 

[old_ironsights]

Bob Ailes refuted your .357 Sig story, ironman0311.

Comments?

 

[ironman0311]

I don't know?

Maybe they decided not to produce them, after all.

All I can do is repeat what TWO of the FN Reps. told me as I slobbered all over the one I had in my hot little hand that day.

And, IIRC I THINK they had one (FNP-.357 Sig) on the hot range that was available for demo firing. I did not shoot a .357 Sig that day however. (I think it may have been too crowded and I wanted to get off the firing line) Although, I shot just about everything else they had. I am almost sure I remember a G.I. ammo box full of .357 Sig ammo on the range table behind the FN firing stalls.

Trust me ... I had one in my hand that day.

 

[old_ironsights]

Understood.

FN has some really fine guns, but the veracity of their corporate communications people leaves a lot to be desired.

It's quite evident that they don't have a clue.

 

[fnfalguy]

The FNP-45 release date was supposed to be October or November after an initial release date of either August or September. The last forum posting that I saw from an FN rep now says "by year end". To be honest, since they are not disclosing why there are so many delays, it has me a bit concerned.

 

[ShipWreck]

I wouldn't worry too much. Look how long it took for the HK45 to finally get out...
