I am interested in suppressing my fnx9. I haven't been able to find aftermarket parts for this handgun so i am guessing that i would need to have the barrel threaded. Has anyone done this before? Would it work reliably or would i have to do some modifications? Thanks

FNP Barrels work on FNX Handguns, there is an aftermarket company who makes them, so do the aftermarket Tall Ameriglow Sights.

I do not know if the FN handguns suppress reliably.. I was hoping you can fill us in on that information.

The problem with suppressing FNP and FNX guns is lack of aftermarket recoil springs and guiderods.
Instead of finding springs that work your best bet is to break in the gun well without a suppressor and the new barrel. Do a poligh job to the feed ramp or have a smith do it, THEN attach the suppressor (Must have a booster) and you should be fine. If not buy other loads till you find one that will cycle the action.

Clandestine is correct about the difficulty of aftermarket parts on FN handguns.....that said they are very good products.
I tell everyone that buys a can/gun setup that they need to break the weapon in before attaching the can. This eliminates the "this can won't work!" phone calls.....EVEN HKs NEED BREAK IN! trust me, the HK USP Tactical is one of the sweetest rigs out there and they need at least a box or two before they will run with a suppressor. I recommend five hundred rounds to those that use Johns Guns or other non-booster cans. Also, Clandestine's comment about polish jobs is right on......I do this to most of my weapons anyway as it helps avoid funk buildup in this critical area but it is especially critical with suppressed weapons where there is less energy to cycle the action.
I support you trying the FN (i've even though about it as a project) though I'd just extend and thread the factory barrel.....On the other hand, the HK is the top of the game. I would do an HK myself, but that's because that is what I'm familiar with....

I have both the USP Tac and the FNP .45 Tac with rmr. I was running the FN 2 weeks ago with my AAC evo. had no issues in 100 rounds. even ran wet for a bit and the H2O made a big difference in decibels and mess.
My preferences run toward HK, but FN did good work on this model. I really like the rmr on there and the high night sights are slick.

the hk feels like a bar of bath size ivory, but its an HK
The FN has adjustable/replaceable grip parts. I have mine set up to feel like a fat 1911.

Sweet...
On the feel of the FNP - I tried one, but didn't like how fat and square it is. The H&K has better ergo in my opinion. I have aH&K .45 on the way and plan on suppressing it as well.

This is the single phrase that sold me on my decision.
