Anyone here into firearms?

Thinking of going with an FNS-40, lgs just got a shipment. I do not have a 40 yet in the collection.

It's a heavy one. I've often debated it but never made the plunge.

what prompts your desire to get a .40?

I'm feeling it's reputation for accuracy. I'm contemplating between the standard and heavy barrel model. The difference is 1lb. But i figured the heavy barrel can take continuous use. But I know FN standard barrels must be pretty close to the heavy. They just make awesome barrels... period.

What I like about this rifle is, that it's accurate enough for general hunting/sniping. but then switch from a 5 round mag to a 20 round mag and you have a long range battle rifle. Very versatile, yet in the standard model, 8.9lbs is still lighter than most comparable rifles in this caliber which usually weigh 10/11lbs.

A few reasons, I do not have one, I have three 45's, recently sold my 9mm, as it does nothing for me. I eventually will have another in the collection, but it was not the right gun in the collection, that is why I sold it. Two of my friends have 40's and reloading dies for it. I shot a few, its a snappy round, but I like like it. Even during this ammo crisis, Walmart still has 40 ammo on the shelves, its not that popular yet.

Wish I could tell you, weather has been so asysmal for March I have yet to get out and shoot it...sucks. Hard. Was going to go check out the FNS tonight but got last minute tickets to the Pens game(14 baby) I will try again tomorrow.

I went to Cabela's yesterday and decided to browse the gun section (because racecar). There are a ton of hunting rifles but hardly anything tactical. So I finally saw a .22 tactical LR and thought maybe I could do that with my Remington 597. Yes, I'm bored. Did some research last night and found one place that sells the kit for just over $100. I'm tempted.

My USC/UMP conversion found his long lost brothers last night. Coming soon to a safe near me... one in 9mm and one in .40 to go along with the .45

Damn, I know where to go now if the zombie apocalypse ever happens.

Those are some nice guns, and I like the caliber choices.

Right now, my 'favorite' gun is my trusty old 870.

I have a little HK pistol and rifle addiction. I have no room
In the safe anymore.

I have been putting a lot of rounds through my H&K pistols recently and am starting to buy into the "In a world of compromise, some don't" motto. I love the Glock 19, but the P2000 9mm is so much more refined.

New XDS shot like a champ today. Love it as a compromise between knockdown and concealability...

Talk about ammo shortages . . .

So this really cute blond 20 something is filling up her gas tank when an old coot drives up in his rusty pick-up with lots of ammo boxes stacked up in the back seat. Upon seeing that she looks over to the old timer and says how about we trade some whoopie time for some ammo?

To which he relies . . .

What type of ammo ya' got?

Joepro · 04-13-2013, 06:12 PM

The core 15 ate steel ammo like a champ...shot the new FNS-40, love the way this gun shoots, it does seem the sights are off just a tad, I had my friend confirm, we were both groping about 3-4 inches to the right,other than that, fantastic piece. The guy who I have bought a few guns off of at the LGS actually is carrying an FNS now, and he is a HUGE glock head, I mean die hard...
