    I finally got to shoot my FNS-9L the other day. I took the long slide with my full size and the compact and wow...the long slide is my new favorite! Solid 1" groups from 10 and 12 yards. I am very happy with this pistol!

    I held one the other day and it was pretty sweet. I thought about trading one of my FNS's for it but I couldn't muster the balls to do it. I'm afraid I am going to have to buy one as my new years gift. LOL!!

    I also have held it never shot it..On paper I don't see how it's much different that the standard FNS?

    Yeah man, I am not really sure how it is too much different. I think it's a little lighter. I am a little afraid I am going to shoot it and its not going to be anything like my FNS's.

    I have a 509 and an FNS9

    The 509 is fantastic and absolutely one of my favorites. Accurate right out of the box. The subtle differences make it a wholly different pistol to shoot and trust.

    had to have been something wrong with the barrel I'm guessing. My FiveSeven is the most accurate handgun I have.

    FiveSeven with 30rd mags and Laserlyte green laser and light/strobe light combo. Also have a FNP 9 which has always been good to me.

    I have a feeling it was something with the gun. I loved everything about it! Just wasn't a consistent shooter, the one I had that is. I definitely want to get another one hopefully this year.

    they are very fun to shoot! but a bit expensive. Elite Ammunition loads some pretty hot 5.7 rounds. It actually pushed FN to release the higher velocity ss198lf cartridge. 2480 fps. I haven't tried the EA ammo but want to soon.

    I looked into their ammo when I had mine, Looks like they have a couple more offerings. They are a bit expensive, just need to know the right people. luckily I had/ have a good hookup on the guns and ammo. When companies load your works bullet in their ammo they usally cut you a good deal haha.
