New Member and FN price ???

[DrRadar]

I am a new member here.
I just picked up a basic FNP-40 with stainless slide for $468 total. ($430 +tax)
I think I got a decent deal. :clap:
I like the FNP-40 than either of the XDs.
It is almost as nice to shoot as the Sig 229. :guns:

I'm wondering about the Five Seven.
I can buy a new one for $837 total ($775 +tax).
What kind of deal is this?
Should I get it?
I've never shot one and have only held the one at the dealer.
What about longevity of the 5.7?

Thanks,
DrRadar

Two words: Buy it

Great deal at this point.

[toyslr]

thats cheap :ponder:

[Buffman]

that's cheap. At the time I bought mine, I paid $11XX out the door after taxes for it, and that was $150-200 less than most retail places.

[ChuckD]

That's a great price, I'd definitely pick that one up if I had the cash

[romer522]

Its gotta be used, but still worth it.

If it is in fact new & even if you decide you don't want it - at that price, you can resell it & make a small profit.

Thanks all,
I going to get it today.
I called and he said he still had it.
The price tag was $949 and he said I could have it for $775 +tax. That was yesterday.
When I called today he said it was $800 + tax so the price went up $25 overnight. (872otd vs 837otd)
I'm leaving in a few minutes because he closes at 6:00.
It is new. never sold. I hope it's not a mistake. Almost as much as my Kimber.

I had my eye on the FNP-45 for $470. He has it with a tag price of $589. Looks like I won't be getting any more new ones until the fall.
Is $20.99 a box for the ammo ok in price. I'm planning on getting 4 boxes with the 5.7.

[f3rr37]

$20.99 is an ok price.

[romer522]

I wouldn't pay that much for new blue box 195. If its 197 its not a bad deal.

[Rapier1772]

Decent price for ammo, but you are going to want more :laugh:

[DrRadar]

Picked up the FiveSeveN yesterday with 4 boxes of SS192 ammo.
It cost 948.30 out the door.
Someone mentioned the 195 and 197 here.
A guy that was there had a PS90 and said he had several FTF with 195 and said to get the 192 because the 192 is leaded primer and 195 is leadfree.
I hope I got the right ammo.
I'm hoping to shoot it this weekend.
I've already had someone offer me $200 profit. I wouldn't do it because of the straw purchase crap.
I probably wouldn't have done it anyway. I want to see what all the fuss is about.
I'm tingly waiting to shoot it, Kinda like Keith Oberman acts when he sees or talks about Obama.

[Rapier1772]

Sounds like you did well, congrats!

[Buffman]

are these the newer USG FNP-45s with shooters packs? That is a Hell of a deal if that's the price on one. Mom and Pop store selling them for that price?
