New Toy

I had been thinking about it for quite a while and I finally traded in my Taurus and upgraded to a better pistol. Pictured above is my new FN Herstal FNP-9.

It's a big improvement over the Taurus. It's a little bit smaller, a little bit lighter and fits my hand a lot better. The action is smooth and it's pretty accurate. (It would probably be more accurate if I was a better shot.)

A few specs: it's chambered in 9mm and comes with three 16 round magazines. The total capacity is 16+1 in the chamber. It's double action/single action with a 4 inch barrel. It weighs just under 2 pounds loaded.

So far, I have put only about 75 rounds through it. It shoots real nice. I decided to ignore all the noise about stopping power, penetration, blah, blah, blah...and go with something that is still somewhat affordable to shoot. I can get 9mm for about $20 per hundred rounds. Besides, it beats the hell out of not being armed at all...
