14.1. Magazine Capacity
The FNX magazine i
s unique for the
pistol type and should not be used in
other pistols. No other magazine type
should be used in your FNX pistol. The
specialized, advanced design makes
the magazine highly reliable and results
in easy maintenance and cleaning.
FNX™-9 pistols have a standard
magazine capacity of 17 rounds in the
magazine plus one in the chamber, for
a total capacity of 18 rounds.
FNX™-40 pistols have a standard
magazine capacity of 14 rounds in the
magazine plus one in the chamber, for
a total capacity of 15 rounds.
FNX™-45 pistols have a standard
magazine capacity of 15 rounds in the
magazine plus one in the chamber, for
a total capacity of 16 rounds.
Some jurisdictions limit the magazine capacity to 10 rounds plus one in
the chamber, for a total capacity of 11 rounds. All FNX pistols sold in those
jurisdictions will be shipped with limited capacity magazines in compliance
with local or state law. Make sure you have verified the capacity of your
magazine before loading it in your pistol.
IMPORTANT: 10-round magazines for FNX pistols can be identified by
the number “10” stamped under the lowest index hole on the back of
the magazine (Figure 10). Some 10-round magazines may only have two
openings in the rear which allow you to estimate the number of remaining
cartridges. If the base of a cartridge is visible in the hole marked 10, the
