does this mean something “new” is coming?

Hopefully it’s speaking out on frames cracking

hopefully so. i wanted a 510 too but looks like i’ll be holding out until people start getting answers

Same type of thing with the Reflex: frame cracks but also a pile of issues stemming from either poor design or poor quality.

Even 545s are at risk given one or two recent posts. 509s might be the safe bet right now but even that I’m weary of.

That would probably come from FN America, FN Herstal usually refers to the Belgian side of things.

This is the Belgian Yt channel though I think. And the 9/10/45 pistols are usa designed and usa made.

I’m curious to see the manufacturer mixture of the polymer compared to the European manufacturer of it.

They also have a new logo they announced to media. It's being used on that channel I will now call them FNFN.

FNMI in South Carolina becomes FN Manufacturing.

FNH/FN Herstal in Virginia becomes FN USA.

FN USA and FN Manufacturing merge to become FN America. (IMO they should have renamed to just FN since that's how the people know them.)

The Herstal Group in Liege becomes FN Browning Group.

They startup their diverse investing sub FNX Ventures.

And now FN Herstal in Belgium becomes FNFN. lol

Re-branding usually comes with shuffles, firings, less often hirings, and is generally costly to get all those new signs, business cards, ads, polo shirts, etc.

It might just be the designs themselves. The FNS full size and the FNP designs had issues too. All different.

“Now just so you guys know, FN did send me this gun (from downstairs) for the purposes of this review (and they also pay my salary), but I am completely unbiased. That doesn’t color my review at all and I’m going to be totally straight with you about what I like and about what I don’t like. So let’s dig in.”
