Can anyone recommend a FN that would be good for CCW?
Or, something for range, 3Gun, or competition use?
Point being, a lot like HK, they don't cater to the consumer market much in pistols. What they sell is duty guns. Most of the stuff they made their reputation on is now sold as old stuff to collectors. Same for HK - biggest props they get now is the P7, long out of production. Nothing else like it on the market or even similar in the lineup.
Price is an issue, too. The exchange rate and possibly there country's taxes and what amount they can export gets involved on their end (especially HK.) I don't think FN is as bad off but it still goes to what are they selling that is a direct competitor to the LCP/Kimber/SIG P938? Notably absent.
No cute kids in that family, they are all grown up. No problem with them at work, but nothing you'd want to go on vacation to Disney World with. As opposed to the Shield, XD, Storm, Glock, etc., so to speak.
Since they depend on Gov't contract and major runs of a few models, they don't play the Gun of the Month Club at SHOT, so, they don't get put into the hopper for our attention in the media.
