FNP 9MM, add a RDS or sell it

[mrbieler]

Have a 2009 FNP 9, one of late generations fixing most of the issues from the early version. My first plastic pistol.

It's a good shooter, I have a bunch of mags for it, spare springs, holsters. Freedom week may have been exploited a bit as well.

It's been my house gun since I got it and I'm not going to ccw it. I prefer a full size pistol for the night stand.

I want to add a red dot. Do I spend $150 or so to have this pistol milled or do I sell it and buy an optics ready pistol?

In the big picture, I've been selling off guns and consolidating of late so I'm more inclined to work with what I have.

I mean do you like shooting it?

Seems like you've already bought all the gizmos for it, what's another $700 on a sight and a good slide milling/refinishing?

Are you shooting dots on all of your other pistols? Have you thought about just upgrading the pistol sights? Is anyone else going to use it for HD? Do they shoot red dots? Have you shot red dots on a timer or under any other pressure inducing drills?

Two of my CCW's have dots and I like them. Fair bit of range time and a couple of classes using them as well. As my eyes get older, the red dot has been a nice change.

I think the answer is what do you want more, a brand new style gun optics ready or do you want this gun but with a red dot? Getting the slide milled will be a lot faster and cheaper and easier than selling and buying a new gun

Most of my guns I like shooting are single action. CZ75's, 1911's, and Hi Powers. My primary ccw is striker fire. I don't really like the DA on this or my 75B, but the 75B I use cocked and locked. This and my little p225 are my only decockers. The DA pull isn't bad but compared to the SA's and the striker fire, it's not nearly as nice.

cut it. no reason to dump it when you can just tweak it.

The Walther PDP has a great striker fire and is optics ready…

LOL, PDP shill...

I liked the PDP but I am heavily leaning towards the Echelon if I do decide to sell the FN.

NC Engraving will cut my slide and refinish for $100 plus shipping which is hard to beat. I have an optic already.
