I bought a Pro-9 some time ago. You don't see many of them around. I know/think they were imported and are identical to the FNP-9? I don't' think they are still sold as the browning model?
Anyway, I love that pistol, fist choice out of safe for me. Shoots well and feels good. Was this purchase a mistake? Since then have added a SIG and S$W but still like the pro-9 best. I guess it wasn't a mistake if I like it, just makes me uneasy when my favorite is "discontinued" Always wanted to post this question but was afraid I get toasted, until I found this forum (I think) |

I'm curious about this too as I am pretty interested in finding an FNP. Almost everything I have heard about them has been positive, but I'd still like more information. The only complaints that I can find seem to be that a small number of them eject the cases straight back at the shooter. |

The Browning Pro 9 and Pro 40 are the exact same as the FNP series. They have been out of production for a couple of years now.
I have a Browning Pro 40 and talking to an Bob at FN he told me that there were only about 2000 of those made. I didn't get the details on if that is 2000 total Browning pro's, or just the .40. Either way, doesn't seem like a real high number. |

Yes, the Browning version was discontinued in the USA. Only the FNP version is available.
I believe the Browning version always allowed cocked and locked, while the FNP was only decock until they released the USG version. Come check out www.fnforum.net for more info |
