FNP-9-Service pistol accuracy

@locosway first off…i feel the glock is a safe pistol…provided you use good handling practices…i just believe the da/sa auto is safer…in case of unlikely events happening….nothing can replace safe gun handling…nothing…but insurance is nice…shouldnt be a crutch for numskulls…but insurance in any form to me is appreciated…if it doesent hurt performance of gun and its intended use

@arkee71 I can afford holsters, I don’t stick my guns down the front of pants, sorry. And I’m sure these “experts” know about the FN, after all, they’re experts. I like the FN, I have nothing against it, and I’m not comparing it to a Glock. My qualm is with your claim that a firearm that has a safety is somehow more inherently safe, which it is not.

@locosway i told you my gun has no safety…i can mexican carry it also…do that with glock…and we wont have to worry about your genetics contaminating the world..my gun is as easy to operate as a glock…but most of you so called “experts” prolly dont even know the fn exists…well this turkey hunter does…because i know weapons…they are part of my lifestyle…not just going to the range…i never said turkeys were dangerous…i said that because i hunt often…im with weapon alot

@locosway Yeah, I don’t know squat about firearms or real world use. That’s why all the experts teach people to keep their finger off the safety, and many advocate using the Glock simply because it doesn’t have a safety to mess with. That’s ok though, you continue hunting them turkeys, I’m sure it’s real dangerous with those wild man eating turkeys, you never know when they might try to peck your eyes out.

@locosway fine…thats your opinion..and i respect that…but most of the firearms community agree with me.

@locosway you apparently dont know what makesa responsible hunter..ill tell…a hunter probablly spends more time with his weapon than any range jockey…falling down is not a training issue…it happens to the best of us…and during the course of a fall you can squeeze trigger ..jam barrel into ground…no matter how much training a human has..it happens…you just demonstrated to me how little you know about real world gun use

@arkee71 I own many firearms, some with and some without manual safeties. Having a safety does not make anything more safe.

@locosway just to clarify here..i own the fnp9 and shoot it often…it has no manual safety…its a da/sa auto…with a long deliberate first shot trigger pull…thats safer..then comparetively light pull of the glock…that being said…i feel i offered a fair comparison of the 2…and stated that safety was primarily the handlers duty

@arkee71 What things occur? Falling down with your finger in the guard? Putting a loaded gun into your pocket instead of a holster? These are all training issues, nothing more. Also, what does hunting have to do with safe firearm handling? Hand someone a gun and push them towards the woods and you’ve made a hunter. Your insistence that an external safety makes a weapon safer is testament to this fact.

@locosway lol..really?..now youre gonna judge me…without knowing me?…im 40 ..ive hunted my whole life since 5 years of age..turkey deer ducks geese…alot…both my sons kill turkeys every year under my instruction…ive never accidentally fired a weapon in my life..you may disagree with me…but dont attack my knowledge of the subject…that demonstrates your ignorance not mine…as for the world..im tellin you what the military has stated…if you think they are lying then offer some proof

@locosway furthermore…even the most trained individual can make an error…wouldnt a backup safety be helpful…in case those things occur?

@arkee71 Really, politics have nothing to do with weapon choices? My logic is not false here, yours is. An external safety does not make a gun safer. I’d advise you to get some real weapons training, and possibly learn how the world works.

@locosway i dont want to argue…but youre using false logic here…if youre 98% safe with a gun…then a safety can only make you safer…glocks will and have snagged items such as keys knives zippers etc..which depress trigger “safety” allowing firearm to discharge..politics have nothing to do with it…the military has stated it will not use a sidearm without a manual safety..if im a safe gun handler and i fall with the gun or accidentally finger slips onto trigger…it would be beneficial

@arkee71 There’s more to why the military decided on the Beretta. A lot of it was politics, and some of it was price point, which included the weapons, parts, and service contracts. Also, a lot of people have been killed by their safeties. If you don’t train extensively with your weapon system you’re bound to run into a snag sooner or later. External safeties do not make a weapon more safe, period. You can argue the contrary all you like, but it won’t make it true.

@locosway united states military dont use glocks…thats why…no safety…youre right no mechanical device can ever replace proper gun handling…but if you have both youre more safe…thats just a fact..that you cannot argue with

@arkee71 Doesn’t matter. The gun is only as safe as the operator. I’ve seen many people fire their guns when they were “unloaded” or the safety was on. If you have a Glock, you know there’s no external manual safety, so you keep your finger off the trigger. The “Glock leg” has happened with many firearms, and it’s a lack of training. Training is the culprit with most things, especially firearms. Sorry, but there’s no “safer” gun, only safer operators.

@locosway if humans were perfect i would agree…but they are not….and still you wouldnt be well advised to carry a glock without trigger guard on holster..they dont call it glock leg for nuthin

@arkee71 There’s no such thing as a “Safer” gun. Most accidents happen when the gun is “unloaded” or when the “safety” is on, amazing how that happens, right? Keep your booger hook off the bang switch, and that’s how you have a safer gun.
