\"fns9fde\"FN America, LLC is pleased to announce the launch of the FNS\u2122-9 Compact FDE<\/a>, an extension of the FNS series of striker-fired pistols. The FNS\u2122-9 Compact FDE will feature a flat dark earth (FDE) polymer frame and durable, scratch-resistant PVD slide coating that have been color matched to ensure consistency. It will also retain the proven ergonomic grip angle and diamond texture grip pattern standard on FNS<\/a> and FNX\u2122<\/a>models.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlat dark earth began as a military-designated color that FN pioneered with the introduction of the FN SCAR\u00ae series in the early 2000s,\u201d said John Keppeler, vice president of sales and marketing. \u201cThe color remains a popular choice for military customers and consumers, making this addition a natural extension for the FNS-9 Compact series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two magazine options – pinky extender for better grip, and a full size with grip sleeve for range training and backup use are available for the pistol. A new padfolio-style soft case has also been introduced that makes storage efficient and allows for discreet transportation to and from the range.<\/p>\n

The pistol will begin shipping to distribution this month and is expected to be available at retail in December. Manufacturer\u2019s suggested retail price on the new model is $599.<\/p>\n
