Description
40 S&W, Black, Night Sights, 3- 14 Round Magazines
The FN FNS-9 & 40 is the latest handgun innovation by FN Herstal. The FNS pistol features a pre-loaded striker mechanism together with an optional manual safety, hence combining fast and accurate shooting and optimal safety. Additionally, the well thought out design of the FNS results in a stable, highly ergonomic and ambidextrous pistol that is easy to operate.
The pre-loaded striker mechanism of the pistol means that energy has been pre-loaded partially. This ensures a short and light trigger pull identical for all shots allowing fast and accurate shooting.The FNS has a low bore axis providing minimized perceived recoil and reducing muzzle rise for a perfect weapon controllability.
The handgun features a newly designed three-dot combat sights with deep rear sight notch which improved significantly the accuracy.
In addition to the manual safety, the FNS features Four Major Safeties:
Trigger Safety
Firing Pin Safety
Drop Safety
Out-of-Battery Safety
The two-piece trigger prevents the weapon from firing without a presure on the trigger.The rear of lower trigger piece catches on the frame if the mechanism is moved without pulling the trigger.
The firing pin safety prevents the stricker from passing.The firing pin safety is lifted out the way when the trigger is pulled.
Part of the fire control housing prevents the sear from rotating down to release the stricker unless the trigger is pulled.
When the slide is not fully forwards the sear cannot release the stricker even if the trigger is pulled.
The FNS pistol comes standard with a large number of ergonomic features such as:- Ultra nonslip checkered grips for better prehension- Front serrations for easy press check- Three interchangeable backstrap inserts quickly adapt to the pistol to the shooter’s hand size.
All operating controls are fully ambidextrous:- Slide stop- Magazine catch- Manual safety
The pistol features a 4” hammer-forged stainless steel barrel and ultra-hard coating on stainless steel slide and barrel.
The high quality material is fully tested and fired under severe conditions prior to dispatch.The pistol accepts all military and law enforcement duty ammunition.
Press Release:
McLean, VA (PRWEB) January 11, 2012
FNH USA is pleased to announce the introduction of the new FN FNS-9 and FNS-40 striker-fired autoloading duty pistols to the American law enforcement and commercial market at the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Built in the USA by a company with over 100 years of experience in the design and manufacture of striker-fired pistols, the FNS lineup represents the pinnacle of handgun performance, reliability and accuracy.
Ć¢ā¬ÅThe new FNS series of autoloading pistols was designed to be the most operator-friendly autopistol available intended to give AmericaĆ¢ā¬ā¢s law enforcement officers a decisive edge,Ć¢ā¬Ā said Ken Pfau, Senior Vice President of Law Enforcement and Commercial Sales for FNH USA. Ć¢ā¬ÅAfter five years of design development and nearly a half-million rounds of testing, the FNS stands ready for duty with any agency, large or small.Ć¢ā¬Ā
The new FNS features a highly-ergonomic frame design that includes an ultra-low bore axis to reduce felt recoil and two interchangeable backstraps to personalize the grip fit to the user. A MIL-STD 1913 underframe rail is standard for light attachment and an aggressive checkering grip pattern improves control under the harshest shooting conditions.

Excellent 40
Posted by Squeaky83 on Oct 21st 2015
I’ve had my weapon for 5 months now and put over 600 rounds through it. Very accurate–I stopped shooting at 7-10 yards and mostly shoot at 25 yards now on the range to really test my grip, pull and aim. Smooth light trigger, resets nicely. Mild recoil even with hot loads, and very ergonomic grip angles. Love the night sites, I can open the gun safe in the dark and these things are bright.
The gun hasn’t failed to feed any ammunition. I generally shoot Blazer Brass and Winchester FMJ loads for practice in 180 and 165 (can’t really tell a difference). I’ve also put about 25 rounds each of Hornady Critical Duty, Speer Gold Dot, Federal Premium HST through it to see if I could tell a difference–nope. Feeds them all, accuracy seems the same.
My only complaint is the grip stippling is very aggressive, and isn’t as comfortable as say the new XD grip zones pistols. But I like the trigger, feel, and shooting accuracy of this weapon.
I researched and tested the XD, Glock and M&P 40’s and chose the FNS as my personal favorite.

FNH, a world class leader in arms.
Posted by tps3443 on Oct 17th 2014
I own a FNH FNS.40 pistol W/ factory Trijicon night sights. I have shot this gun well over 350 times, without issues. Very accurate! Trigger is about 6lbs exactly, and it will get a little lighter once I get past the 1,000 – 1,500 rounds fired mark. These FNS pistols were tested over 400,000 rounds without a single failure! Police units , are dumping glocks left and right for these! Guys and girls, FNH supplies 70% of the entire worlds millitary, and law enforcement with FNH weapons! FNH, owns Winchester, and Browning. They have been here since 1889! And there are the worlds leader in arms. They developed the newest 21ST century millitary weapon, the SCAR 16/ SCAR 17. They developed the P90, the FS2000. The list goes on. FNH is also, one of the few manufacturer that builds there own barrel. So, while your shooting your GLOCK, the barrel was proubly built by FNH for Glock. GLOCK DOES NOT BUILD THERE OWN BARRELS. We fo not know who builds the Glock barrel. But, I can tell you my FNH barrel is a stainless steel Cold Hammer Forged, and it must pass a strict shot group placement before leaving the plant. That makes me feel confident alone, in buying a FNH FNS-40. Enough with the history lesson! Go get your self a FNH! Good luck, I love mine as a EDC, and primary side arm.

Probably my favorite!
Posted by Brando on Sep 28th 2013
This gun was acurate straight out of the box. I don’t get to shoot very often, but I always pull this one out first and I hit the target first shot every time. The night sites are sweet and this gun has never jammed or failed to fire. I love this gun! I just wish FNH would make the same gun in a sub-compact.

The FNS40 is perfect the way it is!
Posted by Duke on May 25th 2013
I found this weapon an excellent addition to my lineup of pistols. Reading the other review, I can only hope this person is joking about lengthening the slide by an inch. Just how does one do this to so many guns and not run over budget for the department? Let alone get the slides to work in the first place after it is done? The trigger needs nothing…It is slick with just enough creep to keep you from shooting before you are completely sure you want to pull the trigger. I certainly wouldn’t bother doing all of the things this person claims, to multiple guns. (It would be cost prohibitive). Also there is no way to change the grips on this pistol, it is one piece. You can however change the back strap with the provided two. One flat, and one humped. Great engineering from an old and trusted company.

Posted by ROCKSTAR on May 24th 2013
I work for a Police Department in the San Francisco Bay Area and we are dumping our glocks for these. Great pistols. Nice trigger, love the ability to change grips. Highly recommended.
