    I admit....I am an FN whore. I don't have any of the cool stuff yet but I love my FN pistols.

    Being that I live 5-10 min from the factory I own a few

    Have had an AR, SLP 12ga, FNX45T, FNS9, and 509

    509 is about the finest pistol I've owned and will likely get put into regular carry rotation once I put a few more rounds through it and find a holster I like

    Yes, I'm a fan of FN, amongst many others. SCAR 17S (308). Awesome gun, but I need a better scope.

    I got pissed off when they came out with the FNX and stopped supporting the FNP.
    Really liked the FNP but no compatibility with mags etc. Really turned me off to their products.
    They seem to constantly change their line every few years. I probably end up with with a 509 one of these days though lol.

    Luckily I got into their products after the FNP series. I have all of the FNS line and want to grab one of the new 509's. It looks like base plates are all I need to swap from all of my old magazines.

    Yes just need to swap baseplates.

    If FN were smart they would make an FNX in 10mm. I'd be all over that like a fat kid on a cupcake.

    I know folks who own the Forty Nine and can't get support from FN.

    I had a choice to buy new wheels and tires for the truck or a PS90 and SBR it. I went with wheels and tires. I soon will but a ps90. I would love a 17s but damn, i don't have anymore kidneys to sell :(

    Meh... the rebate to get was the one LWRC had a year or two ago when they were giving away Aimpoint T1's with their rifles. The catch though was that it didn't come with irons during the promotion. Bastards...

    FN rebates are by and large better than most manufacturers

    I picked up 3 mags for my 509 for free, seen these vortex rmrs, streamlight pistol lights, and Vertx backpacks

    No one else is regularly offering that stuff

    Little tree air fresheners. Clazzio black leather seat covers.
    Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted an FN FiveSeven.
    I finally got one after I turned 21. Fell in love with it, FDE adjustable sights 3X20rd mags the whole 9 yards. It was surprisingly inaccurate!!:mad::confused:. I was less then happy. I tried shooting all available ammo and tried just shooting it and no other handguns. I'd set my 10" steel gong up at 45 yards and shoot one mag through it and hit it every time, let the gun cool down and try another mag and maybe! get 10 out of 20 hits. Where with my HK45 I could hit it every time no problem, even with my HK VP9 I'm way more accurate. I did end up getting rid of the 5.7. and I 100% regret selling it!!! Even though I wasn't/ the gun wasn't that accurate I want to get another one here SOON!!

    I had a 5.7 also fun to shoot but overpriced for what you get. The lightweight was nice for CCW.
