McLean, Va. –-(Ammoland.com)- FN America, LLC announces another High Overall Production division win for the FNS-9 Longslide and Team FNH USA professional shooter Dave Sevigny at the 25th Annual Area 2 Desert Classic.
The match, held March 4-8, 2015 in Mesa, Arizona, is a USPSA-sanctioned competition that drew over 400 competitors from the area. Sevigny earned his win in the Production division – specifically designed by United States Practical Shooting Association for striker fired and double-action pistols with minimal external modifications.
“Sevigny is one of the top athletic shooters in the USPSA practical shooting arena as well as a great ambassador for the shooting sports and the FNH USA brand,” said Ken Pfau, Senior Vice President for Commercial and Law Enforcement Sales and Marketing. “We’re proud to call him a teammate.”
The FNS-9 Longslide, introduced in 2013 as an addition to FNH USA’s striker-fired FNS series, is a leading pistol for practical competition. The pistol features a 5-inch barrel that provides an extended sight radius for optimal target acquisition, completely ambidextrous operating controls and extremely low bore axis minimizing shooter felt recoil. MSRP $649.
“Area 2 is a Nationals-quality event in terms of the competitors, professionalism by the host club and the shooting tests we face at the match,” said Sevigny. “The high quality event coupled with my FNS™-9 Longslide’s superior ergonomics, light weight and flared mag well really contributed to my success at this year’s match.”
Dave Sevigny will next compete with the FNS-9 Longslide at the USPSA Alabama Section Championship on March 13-14, 2015 in Phenix City, AL.
