If the purpose of the gun is ccw, then get the C.

If the purpose of the gun is ccw, then get the C. Yeah that will be it's purpose. Pretty much what I'm thinking, but wasn't sure if anyone uses an FNS 9 or 40 as their carry piece and if it is that difficult to pull off. I have shot the FNS 40 and liked it a lot, which lead me to getting the FNS 9, but then I saw the compact was out and thought it would be better just to go with that instead. I guess ultimately, the 17 round mag with the extension makes it a full size gun if I would desire that configuration. The C should be the better choice. |

I haven't bought a IWB holster for my FNS-9 yet, but it is very similar in size to my XD-9's. I can carry them concealed without any issues. Compacts have never offered enough size savings to be worth it to me, at least when carrying using the pinky extension on a compact. Same width and only 1/2" shorter barrel.

After speaking with customer service at Bud's today, they notified me that I could change my order but would lose my initial deposit I put down to place the FNS 9 on layaway. Since I don't really feel like throwing nearly $50 away I decided to go with the FNS 9. Just have to get ahold of my FFL tomorrow to make the transfer.
With a good holster I don't believe it will be a problem carrying it as my CCW. I have been looking at the Panther concealment OWB holsters and either a White Hat or another Crossbreed ST as an IWB option. Can't wait to get my hands on this baby!

Picked up my FNS 9 from the LGS yesterday and I'm glad I chose to stick with the full sized FNS. I forgot since last shooting my cousin's FNS 40 that they are almost the perfect size for what I like. I'm not a huge fan of micro guns as I can't seem to get used to gripping them and would rather have a larger gun for better grip. This thing seems perfect!
Can't wait to get out and shoot it soon to see how she performs in my hands.

We'll see how it carries and shoots, but I have little doubt that it will work out just fine. |

Although this is my first post, I just wanted to recommend Panther Concealment. I am not associated with them I just truly like their products and customer service. Below is a link to the website, just email them right from the site and get a dialogue with Jim. He may recommend a specific cant for you. My two Panthers ( xd.40SC and current carry FNS9) both have a 15 degree cant and with a good gun belt snug my gun up tight to the waist. Try them, I don't think you will be disappointed

A FNS9 will likely be my next handgun purchase. I fell in love with the one I looked at. God Bless

I have both the full size and the c but in 40 S&W. I like the compact a lot better. I use it as my ccw. The slight difference in size makes a world of a difference.

I have had 2 different 4" FNS (one with safety one without) and both had gritty 6.5-7# triggers. The 3.6" FNS I have has a relatively smooth 5# trigger... My 4" pistols are/were early models, I suspect they may have made improvements in the newer ones. The striker assembly in my 3.6" is completely different than any of my other 3 FNS pistols. |

Both my FN's have the safety option (which I personally like) and I can't say for sure what the trigger pull was when I bought them because I do not a trigger pull gauge. I can say they feel a lot better now although even when new it wasn't all that bad per say to begin with. I'm a big fan of FN and trust they're relaible when an unfortunate event may arise. |
