My FNX 45 tactical . Goes everywhere I go

[@Dannymart_88445]

You mean to tell me that you conceal carry it? Where tf do you put it?? It's a large ass gun

[@jefferynunn2278]

One of my most favorite high capacity 45's. Amazing!!!

[@BanditApache-nd6lu]

Correction. STANDARD capacity.

[@kenparnell4297]

It's my conceal carry weapon and I love it.

[@MrGregwebb95]

What holster are you running?

[@no_handle_required]

major compensation going on there.

[@coldsoul4416]

I’m looking to get a fnx tactical and would like honest opinions, I have a small hands, but I can fit my hands around a full sized Sigg would this pistol be a good option for carry?

[@EchoDelta2A]

Yes, assuming you don't worry about such a large profiled pistol. It's hard to conceal but it's very comfortable to utilize for self defense

[@Glocktavius_the3rd]

If you have small hands, this pistol will feel like a large brick, especially with the rmr and surefire light on. It’s hard to conceal and will most likely imprint. This gun compared to a p365 is night and day for carry options. But I ccw the fnx45 tactical when I want to show it off. This gun with my octane 45 is a really good pairing.

[@reker.a5790]

Sold my FNX right away and picked up a USP45T and had it milled.

[@EchoDelta2A]

That's going to be a nice one 👍

[@reker.a5790]

@@EchoDelta2A loved how the FNX shot but I had issue with taking the gun down. Trigger mechanism was insane…

[@samhouston5217]

Upper looks great.. the lower looks so cheap/gold. I opted for the black. love it BTW. (just wish they made it with the upper color on the lower frame)

[@JR365.]

Any safariland holsters that fit the fnx45 tac with a tlr-1?

[@EchoDelta2A]

I'm sure there are but not familiar with a specific model. However, I can confirm the PHLSTER Floodlight 2 will fit like a glove

[@beck4218]

The polymer frames would get soft in the heat.

[@EchoDelta2A]

Makes you wonder how it's possible to get the grip that hot, doesn't it? I mean, even if you're out in 90 degree heat and death gripping it, it seems a little suspicious that these accounts showcase a rubber-like condition of the magwell. I don't buy it. Unless you're deliberately trying to heat the grip, I don't see that impacting anyone in real world usage.

[@touofthehighplains]

I have a first gen if you can call it that? I'm not sure if there was actually a noted generation change when they changed their polymer. But the old polymer they used does flex to the point where you could squish the magwell in with your normal grip. And I can attest to heat, causing more flex as I've been in hot cars where the ac didn't work in the summer time. And the windows didn't roll down.

Metal frames too. Thats Physics

I'm going to get one yo!

[@KikoBG12]

Hey, so i have the fnx 45 tactical gbb airsoft pistol and i struggle to find an RMR mount for it, can you guide me? What mount plate would work? Where do i get the specific fnx 45 plate, to mount the rmr on, or i can use some universal plate (the ones with many holes from ali express) dont know what to order.

[@EchoDelta2A]

Hi there. Not really familiar with the airsoft variant or whether it's drilled and tapped the same way as the real thing. FN provides the plate for the pistol in the box. I'd think you could buy a plate directly from FN, but I'm not sure if it'd fit the airsoft version. Best thing to do, is just to buy the real deal 😉. It will come with everything you need all in the box.

[@balthezor]

If you can keep one. FDE or black? I can't decide

[@EchoDelta2A]

FDE will prove to be timeless

[@gemayeljones248]

FDE for certain

[@teflondonii9298]

🙏🏾👍🏾

[@abelaleman3531]

What color is your RMR

[@EchoDelta2A]

It's FDE, with a 9MOA green dot.

[@abelaleman3531]

Awesome thank you

[@stevehei8035]

What holster do you use?

[@EchoDelta2A]

PHLSTER Floodlight 2

[@DavidJosephBoth]

H&K USP was revolutionary, not this. You can get a slide cut on a USP tactical.

[@EchoDelta2A]

But you can't gain an extra 5 rounds, at least without expanding the footprint of the pistol. That said, I agree the USP is superior in quality.

[@DavidJosephBoth]

I did forget the USP only carries a couple more than a 1911 in the mag. 15 per mag is massive. I've never held them side by side to actually see if the FN is lower quality. They were going for a mil contract like the USP so i'd say it will outlast us both. @@EchoDelta2A
