Seems to me that one of the best-kept secrets in handguns (IMHO) must be getting a push in the market from somewhere. I recently posted about the pricing I'd found on the FNH FNS at Midwest in Mishawaka, and in that thread I found that others had been seeing similar pricing at other locations - but not everywhere.
I picked up a new FNS 9 with night sights, 3 mags, no manual safety (although they do offer them, not that I'd want one), lifetime warranty, etc., for $459. I searched through the threads about this gun on INGO and there wasn't a ton of info I could see - just a smattering here and there - so it looks like its been under the radar of a lot of folks. I wonder if there's a push from FNH or something (the equivalent of dealer cash in the automotive biz?) , since the prices are low in multiple locations, and now I'm seeing recent videos by Hickok45 and Cory and Erika here on INGO.
In my opinion this gun beats Glock - there, I said it - and I have been (and continue to be, btw) a fan of Glock. But Glock has been resting on its "Perfection" laurels for too long. While I realize there's something mentally about the "new thing", the FNS fits my hand better than Glock or M&P with better texture on the grip, has a great sight picture out of the box, has capacity on par or greater than most of the competition, ambi controls abound, and seems "just right" in size.
Anyone else seeing this upsurge? Anyone else have FNS experience to comment on?
GLOCK BEATER. (There, that oughtta start something )
