Magazines
Standard FNP-9 pistols have a magazine capacity of
16 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber,
for a total capacity of 17 rounds. However, some
states limit the magazine capacity to 10 rounds
plus one in the chamber. All FNP-9 pistols sold in
those states will be shipped with limited capacity
magazines in compliance with state law.
The FNP-9 magazine is unique for the
pistol type and should not be used in
other pistols. No other magazine type
should be used in your pistol.
Its specialized, advanced design makes
the magazine highly reliable and results
in easy maintenance and cleaning.
The magazine pops out when pressing
the magazine release provided on the left
side of the pistol.
