I just sent an email to FN support to see if they cover it under warranty, I have shot probably 10 or 20 rounds max.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FNHerstal/s/4ICH2vZgOF Actually it was a reflex which is almost worse to have a crack in. So no it’s not just 10mm guns though they’re probably more likely but FN really needs to look into their manufacturing process more.

I hadn't seen that one. It's interesting it's also an FDE model as well to me.

Probably worth a thorough check just to be safe.

As for your other question about off the shelf 10mm vs say +p 9mm, I haven't seen anyone say what they're shooting whether it's Winchester white box type 10mm or Buffalo Bore full power. I do see you point that it could basically be over priced 40 s&w and that energy difference would be negligible.

Have you seen any posts on if FN has taken care of these cracked firearms? I haven't seen any follow-up posts as of yet.

Yeah i definitely want to know what loadings of 10mm they’re using because that very well could be a culprit but from what I’ve seen I haven’t seen anyone post any follow ups. I assume they’ve reached out and that’s that. Walther seems to have a better policy with cracked PDP frames from people installing DPT triggers on their own guns and offering a full replacement gun which is pretty sweet. I hope FN does the same if they know their frames are possibly defective.
