Why doesn't this board ever discuss FN handguns beyond

once you're on /k/ for long enough you'll realize everyone here is a retarded poorfag that screeches at everything they can't afford and take memes and one time things that happened after a freak series of events as the norm. Most of them blatantly ignore facts and source based rebuttals and immediately go into a permanent state of denial when you challenge their autism. It's legitimately hard to tell between shitposters, shills, and genuinely retarded people and at this point it's wholely consumed the board and it's better off to abandon ship when asking for any legitimate advice here and find it on your own, it will more than likely be faster and more realistic than any of the claims made here.

They are bland and serviceable and unremarkable.

The FNX–45 is potentially interesting as a suppressor host, but it squishes.

>>35110981
Because those of us who actually own FN handguns shoot them regularly and never have any issues or complaints with them. Nor do we have any reason to brag about our unsexy, mid-priced workhorse.

>>35110981
when there's nothing wrong with the handguns you make, /k/ doesnt talk about them
They also don't generate the fanbase that HK pistols do

most people here are LARPing faggots that dont have guns and just live through youtube and shitty gun blogs/forums

>>35110981
Because they are not a source of constant drama.

I find myself missing my FNP-9. Was a great little workhorse 9mm.

>but it squishes.
Tactical recoil absorption.

Patrician taste my friend.

I love mine, i shoot it well, never jammed or failed on me yet. About 4000rds through it so far. It's a workhorse, as others have said, and does it's job.
Also, mines never been squishy.

>polite sage

What about the 509? How does it compare to the FNS?

They cancelled hipower so they can go to hell with their glock clones

>>35112068
>FNX series
>Glock clone
GTFO

>>35112068
Dammit really? Glad my old man has a hi power.

>>35112101
Browning still makes new production Hi Powers.

>>35112092
Thats just a poor usp ripoff

>>35112109
Hell yes.

>>35112110
>Assmad HK faggots incoming
This right here is why we can't have nice FNH threads.

>>35112109
Brownings HPs are made by FN and imported by Browning. That's all Browning is anymore, they don't make a goddamn thing

>>35112197
That's all the Grande Puissance ever was.

>>35111012
Holy shit that is fucking terrible.

They're nice, but HK does what they do, but mostly better, at least as far as pistols go. I was considering the FNX45 as my first .45 ACP pistol, but the USP 45's match trigger and proven reliability is just too good to pass up.

>>35111024


This is true. You're considered rich if you have a plain-jane Glock 19 around here, and that's fucking pathetic. I'm pretty sure most of the hazguns around here only have a Nugget or a cheap surplus pistol they shoot every two months.

>>35111131
so just like literally every other board on this website?

Modern FN pistols are designed by FN USA, not by FN Herstal. And the guns they make tend to be somewhat decent, but bland as fuck.
Of the pistols released in the last few decades, only the Five-seveN was designed in Belgium. And that was specifically a partner gun with the P90. As such it was something off the beaten path with little actual application.

>>35112156
It's a pistol without the pedigree of the HK and without a single outstanding feature other than it's from the company that made the SCAR, P90 and Five seven and as this >>35114747 anon points out it's hardly the same company.

So saying it's a poorfag' s attempt at class is about the correct assumption if they think its somehow more impressive than any number of handguns. It's a fine workhorse, that's it.

When you can manage to make your gun look MORE utilitarian than a glock while looking worse and not having the same caliber of marketing, you deserve to not be talked about much

>>35110981
My personal opinion is that they're not that good and the tactical shit is overpriced drastically.

Their new 509 is actually a pretty nice shooter but it's literally their old compact internals dumped into a larger frame.

theyre not that special IMO. theyre great guns, dont get me wrong and I recommend them to anyone, but theyre not that special. Just another polymer striker fired line up, the very definition of
>why get X, just get a glawk
because its more or less the same thing and glock has better after market . Its a glock without having the glock name, same as the M&P

>>35110981
they fucking suck donkey dick compared to actually good handguns like USPs
