4 Use the proper ammunition.
The barrel and the slide of this pistol have been made with substantial
safety margins over the pressures developed by established American
commercial loads. However, FN HERSTAL assumes no liability for
accidents which occur through the use of cartridges of nonstandard
dimensions or that develop pressures in excess of commercially
available ammunition that has been loaded in accordance with
standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI).
FN HERSTAL cannot assume any responsibility for the use of unsafe or
improper arms and ammunition combinations. It is your responsibility
to read and heed all warnings in this owner’s manual and on
ammunition boxes.
4 Examine every cartridge you put in your FNP-9 pistol.
Your FNP-9 pistol is designed and chambered for 9mm Luger caliber
cartridges. The chambering of your pistol is printed clearly on
the barrel.
Failure to use correct ammunition may result in serious injury to
yourself or others.
4 Make sure of adequate ventilation in the area that you
discharge a firearm. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure to
ammunition or cleaning a firearm.
Lead exposure can be obtained from discharging firearms in poorly
ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling ammunition. Lead is a
substance that has been known to cause birth defects, reproductive
harm and other serious injury.
4 Keep your fingers away from the trigger while cocking the
hammer, unloading, loading and removing the magazine.
Only touch the trigger when you are ready to shoot.
