FN FNP9m
The FNP family of pistols is the newest addition to the FN Herstal's family. The FNP9-M is an optimal balance of size and capacity. It carries a 15-round magazine capacity that provides ample firepower for the Law Enforcement professional. The pistol can also be selectively modified for personal preferences. Each pistol comes with a set of backstraps to allow for ergonomic differences.
Its size lends itself to applications for both duty and concealed carry applications, which simplifies training.
Comparison between SA and DA/SA mechanisms
After chambering the initial round, the pistol is ready to shoot in SA mode. This gives a much reduced SA trigger pull that enables the operator to achieve greater accuracy and reduced reaction time.
With DA/SA pistols, the hammer can be released to the decocked position by activating the decocking lever. The pistol will now operate in the DA mode (i.e. the shooter experiences a longer, more significant trigger pull effort as the hammer must be re-cocked during firing). This enables the user to carry the weapon with a round safely chambered, as it may only be fired with a deliberate pull of the trigger.
Technical innovations
1. Inserted cradle-made of rugged, high grade steel, the inserted cradle can be replaced without sacrificing the pistol frame or change the weapon's serial number located on the frame
2. Self-contained Hammer group housing-the interchangeability of sub-assemblies simplifies maintenance and armouer's work.
State-of-art classical features
External Hammer- provides both visual and tactical feedback by allowing the user to see (or feel) the condition of the weapon.
Chambered Round Indicator-the extractor shows a visible red indicator. The protrusion of the extractor is tactilely obvious in low-light conditions.
The Military Standard 1913 (Picatinny) Rail provides a standard interface for today's tactical professional items.
Downwards decoking lever (Double Action/Single Action Only)-It provides a controlled descent of the hammer...
Upwards manual safety-(standard on the Single Action model, option for the Double Action/Single Action) disconnects the trigger from the hammer housing
One Size Fits All-the FNP9-M is an optimal balance of size and capacity. It carries a 15-round magazine capacity that provides ample firepower for the Law Enforcement professional. The pistol can also be selectively modified for personal preferences. Each pistol comes with a set of backstraps to allow for ergonomic differences.
