McLEAN, Va. — For 2010, FNH USA is rolling out a handful of handgun and rifle additions to its extensive firearms lines.
“Our goal for 2010 is to perfect and enhance the strong products we have in our firearms line and roll out our new line of handguns,” said Ken Pfau, vice president for law enforcement and commercial sales.
Here’s what’s new:
FNX-9 and FNX-40
The new FNX 9 and FNX 40 pistols have new ergonomic polymer frames with a low-bore axis, deep checkered grip panels, four interchangeable backstrap inserts, and profiled stainless steel slides with cocking serrations front and rear.
The new guns also have 4” hammer-forged stainless barrels, ambidextrous operating controls, and decockers and manual safeties.
FNP-45 Tactical
Originally developed for the U.S. Joint Combat Pistol Program and intended for field operations, the FNP-45 Tactical offers the standard FNP-45 ACP performance plus a 5.3” stainless steel barrel with a threaded muzzle to accept a sound suppressor or compensator.
The new FDE stainless steel slide is fitted with high-profile combat night sights and includes two mounting bases to accept an optional red dot electronic sight. Each FNP-45 Tactical comes with three 15-round magazines and an Eagle tactical soft case.
FN Five-SeveN
The Five-SeveN pistol now comes with the option of adjustable target sights or fixed three-dot sights. It is available in olive drab green, matte black or flat dark earth finishes. It fires the low recoil 5.7x28mm cartridge.
SCAR 16S
This semi-auto version of the U.S. Special Operations Command’s newest service rifle is now available in matte black with all the same features as the flat dark earth model. It can be purchased with 10- or 30-round magazines.
SCAR 17S
The SCAR 17S is now available for civilian purchase. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (308 Win.) and slightly heavier than the SCAR 16S, the SCAR 17S has ambidextrous operating controls, a free-floating cold hammer-forged Mil-Spec barrel with hard-chromed bore; and a receiver-integrated Mil-Std 1913 optical rail plus three accessory rails for mounting scopes, electronic sights, lights, or lasers.
The side-folding polymer stock is adjustable for comb height and has six settings for length of pull. The SCAR also features a reciprocating charging handle.
FNAR
The FNAR is now available with 16” cold hammer forged Mil-Spec fluted barrel with a hard-chromed bore and target crown barrel.
This semi-automatic rifle has an ambidextrous magazine release button that drops the detachable 20-, 10- or 5-round steel box magazine (DBM). A one-piece receiver mounted MIL-STD 1913 optical rail comes standard and there are three rails on the stock’s fore-end for mounting tactical lights or lasers.
FN Accessories
FNH USA is also providing several new accessories for 2010:
- A Shooter’s Mat in olive drab color.
- Two new custom-formed carry cases for the PS90 and FS2000 with special foam cut-out sections to for the carbine and an external pocket for magazines and accessories.
- A new FS2000 Tactical Foregrip to replace the current foregrip with a tri-rail MIL-STD 1913 forend for mounting lights, pods, lasers and other accessories.
