Description
This is a genuine FN factory magazine engineered for the FNX-40 and FNS-40 .40 S&W pistols. If you run either of these platforms, this magazine gives you the same quality your pistol came with straight from the factory, which means it feeds, fits, and functions exactly as FN designed it.
Why Factory Magazines Matter for Your FN Pistol
The difference between factory and aftermarket magazines shows up in the details. This mag features a tumble-polished stainless steel body with a darkened finish that resists corrosion, paired with a stainless steel wire spring and low-friction polymer follower. The combination means smooth feeding through hundreds of rounds without the reliability questions that sometimes come with cheaper alternatives. The impact-resistant polymer base pad absorbs the punishment of hard drops during reloads or range sessions, and the whole thing is built to FN's exacting factory specifications so there's zero guesswork about fit and function.
Practical Features Built for Real Use
The 14-round capacity matches your pistol's factory standard, which matters whether you're stocking spares for training or duty carry. Numbered witness holes let you see your round count at a glance without disassembling the magazine. The drop-free design means the mag falls cleanly when you press the release, which speeds up reloads and keeps transitions smooth. If you've got both an FNX-40 and FNS-40, you'll appreciate that these magazines work with both platforms, simplifying your parts inventory.
What You're Actually Getting
This isn't a magazine that's going to wear out after a few range trips or jam at an inopportune moment. It's the same part FN builds for law enforcement agencies that depend on their gear working when it matters. The construction is robust, the materials hold up, and the engineering is proven. If you've got an FN .40 pistol and you want magazines you can trust for range duty, training, or any other use, this is the straightforward choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this FN .40 magazine work with both my FNX-40 and FNS-40 pistols?
Yes, this is one of the key advantages of the FNX-40 and FNS-40 platforms. The magazines are fully cross-compatible between the two models, so you can run the same magazines in both pistols. This simplifies magazine inventory if you own both variants of FN's .40 S&W line.
What's the difference between this factory magazine and aftermarket alternatives?
Factory FN magazines are built to the same specifications as what comes with your pistol, meaning proven compatibility and reliability. They use quality stainless steel construction, proper spring tension, and polymer components that work together smoothly. Most users report that factory mags outlast cheaper aftermarket options by a significant margin, especially under heavy use.
Can I check my round count without disassembling the magazine?
Yes. This magazine has numbered witness holes along the rear of the body that let you see exactly how many rounds are loaded just by looking at it. It's a simple feature that saves time during range sessions or training.
Does the magazine drop free from the pistol?
Yes, this magazine is designed with a drop-free configuration that releases cleanly when you press the mag release button. It's weighted and sized to fall freely, which speeds up reloads and keeps transitions smooth during training or competitive shooting.
