FN America Factory Original FNS™-40 / FNX™-40 14-Round .40 S&W Magazine - Polished Stainless Steel Tube, Anti-Friction Finish, High-Visibility Polymer Follower, Impact-Resistant Polymer Base Pad, Natural Polished Steel Finish w/ Black Base - 47695-2 / 845737000349
Product Description
Maintaining feeding reliability in heavy-recoil .40 S&W handguns requires factory-calibrated magazines that resist feed lip deformation under high cycling velocities. Aftermarket or worn .40 S&W magazines can cause failure-to-feed (FTF) hangups or fail to engage the slide stop reliably, leading to critical staging bottlenecks on your bench. The **FN America FNS-40 / FNX-40 14-Round .40 S&W Magazine (47695-2 / 845737000349)** flatlines these feed and fitment challenges, delivering 14 rounds of .40 S&W capacity backed by FN's original factory steel geometry.
Manufactured by FN America under strict quality standards, the 47695-2 magazine is constructed from heavy-gauge **polished stainless steel** with a smooth exterior finish that facilitates fast, friction-free insertion and drop-free ejection during mag swaps. Designed specifically for the **FNS-40 and FNX-40 pistol platforms**, this 14-round factory magazine features a high-visibility, non-tilt polymer follower and a high-tensile spring that delivers uniform upward pressure for smooth chambering. Complete with numbered rear witness ports and an impact-resistant polymer base pad that interfaces flush with standard full-size frames, this factory magazine optimizes your duty or defensive setup straight from your armorer bench.
Engineered to seat natively in FN FNS-40 and FNX-40 full-size pistol frames, this factory-calibrated 14-round magazine guarantees rock-solid feeding performance directly from your workspace bench.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance: The FN 47695-2 magazine arrives workspace ready as a pre-assembled 14-round stainless steel unit. FULL-SIZE .40 S&W FRAME FITMENT MATRIX: Engineered specifically for **.40 S&W** ammunition in **FN America FNS-40 and FNX-40 series pistols**. *Frame Fitment Note:* Fits full-size FNS-40 and FNX-40 magwells flush; also compatible with compact variants, where the magazine tube will extend slightly beyond the bottom of the shortened grip frame. Armorer Workbench Custom Staging Sequence: 1. Visually and physically confirm your host FN pistol is completely clear of live ammunition, the magazine is removed, and the chamber is checked safe and empty. 2. Inspect the stainless feed lips and follower to ensure no transit oils or shipping debris obstruct vertical travel. 3. Load up to 14 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition into the double-stack column. 4. Insert the loaded magazine firmly into the magwell until the catch engages with a sharp click. 5. Manually cycle the slide to verify smooth cartridge presentation over the feed ramp before rolling downrange.*
