Renowned Artisans
and Craftsmen.

We are not a company of robotic assembly lines. Instead, we are a team of gifted people, fitting steel and polymer with heart and soul. Because perfection is our goal. And the only way to meet our uncompromising standards and unmatched quality is to craft every firearm with unrelenting passion.

That’s why every single firearm that leaves our factory is tested by hand. It’s why more rounds are fired during our product development than any other firearms company.

Conceived by brilliant minds. Crafted by skilled hands. Forged by dedicated souls. Delivered by FN.

Our Beliefs:
Protecting the Home Front.

FN is proud to serve our military, our local and federal law enforcement officers, and the civilians who protect their homes and their freedom. That’s why we stand together and strive together fully committed, fully capable, and fully proven to deliver the high standards that American gun owners demand.

Speaking of America, the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

And we believe that creates an individual constitutional right for citizens of the
United States to carry a firearm.
