FNH FNS 9 Long slide

[edgy]

I just spoke to a firearms store and I heard that theres a difference between the stainless top vs the black top fns9l
Other then the obvious color difference. Is this true?

No , not true, I have one of each in my safe, they are exactly the same

We are running a 9mm on the range. Round count is 17,000 no problems at all. These are really good quality pistols. Also FWIW we have lots of magazines for them, though as indicated they are more expensive than those for most other pistols.

Thank you for your valuable feedback on the performance and durabilty of the FNS pistol. Range rental pistols are the best endurance test. Please keep us informed, if you will, on their ongoing reliability.

Thank you for keeping FNS magazines in stock. The 3 mags that come standard should be enough for many shooters. For the vast majority, an extra pair should be enough and that will cost $70 more than a pair of G17 mags. I'd gladly pay that premium if ever I need to buy extra mags.

I may pick up a couple of FNS40 mags in a few months.

Wow, that's too bad, that is my one complaint about the FNS, I find the finish on my black slide is nowhere near as nice as the stainless finish, glad I have a stainless now!

A little off topic but can you give us a rough idea how many rounds you usually get out of a rental gun before you retire them? Curious since everybody is always so worried about round counts when they are buying used and many figure a couple thousand rounds is too many on a used gun.

Reliable Gun has them, as does Prophet River. They're hard to come by, so get them now!

Reliable also has Bladetech holsters to fit.
