THE SIXGUNNERJohn TaffinFNP-40The FNP-40 acceptsthe Streamlight M6Xcombination tacticalflashlight and redlaser sight.Rapid firetargets shotwith theFNP-40.FNH American-StyleSince the 1990s, the .40 S&W hasbeen the cartridge of choice formany law enforcement agenciesand has been chambered in virtuallyevery 9mm-sized semiauto includingthe Browning Hi-Power. The latest .40S&W is from the American counterpartof the first company to offer theBrowning Hi-Power 9mm, which is alsoknown as the P-35, since it arrived in1935. Fabrique Nationale, or FN, wasthat original manufacturer and has longbeen known for quality products. TheAmerican version of Fabrique Nationaleis FN HERSTAL located in Virginia, andthis new semiauto pistol is the FNP-40.FN HERSTAL is owned by theHERSTAL Group, which also ownsBrowning and Winchester. It was HER-STAL which pulled the plug on the Winchesterplant in New Haven a few yearsback, however they have redeemedthemselves by now producing the WinchesterModel 70 once again. This isnot a Japanese-manufactured rifle butrather comes from the HERSTAL FNHplant in Columbia, South Carolina. Winchestershave been produced under severalnames in my lifetime, however thecompany name is now back to the originalWinchester Repeating Arms Company,as it was nearly 150 years ago.Integral Grip FrameThe FNP-40 joins the long list ofpolymer pistols with an integral gripframe.
