FNX 45 Tactical (Perfection)

Came for the gun review, stayed for the combat poetry: “If I had to go to Hell and arrest The Devil, and bring him back for trial, this would be my primary sidearm.” Beautiful.

Yes sir, you said the right word DISTANCE. For those who do not know. An offensive weapon is not only for close up, but for distance as well. The object is to take cover, keep your distance, and take down the TARGET. AMEN

[@BlackBeard287]

Yes Sir!!!! Very Correct...

[@stormstalker8087]

As a new owner of this handgun I have to say yours is one of the best vids I’ve seen on it. To be honest I didn’t know much about it when I bought it. I was shopping for a .45 and fell in love with it on first sight. Glad I made the purchase. It’s my favorite firearm I own.

[@BlackBeard287]

You are wise in your decision to purchase this 45. It should serve you well. I love mine...

[@ytrefugee113]

I have the regular model, probably 1 of my favorite pistols ever! 15 rounds double stacked and the grip is surprisingly not so chunky like others that hold less. Never had any problems in almost 1,000 rounds, different types, weights, fmj, jhp, all performed flawlessly! Easy to take down and clean, accurate, the military really overlooked this one!

[@BlackBeard287]

Hey Norman!! This old Viet-Nam Vet wants to say thank you! I'd heard of the FNX-45 before but hearing you say it's the perfect weapon if you have to go to hell and arrest the devil AND bring him back for trial......I had to have me one.. I got it yesterday from Cabela's, they had it on sale for 900!!I have a USP with a Viper but this time I'm going GREEN...My Holosun will be here in a few days.

Great video. I've got mine set up pretty much the same and I can't think of much I would change only in black. Thanks for your insight.

[@kenparnell4297]

I have always loved handguns with external hammers, thumb safeties, and the single/double action is one of the greatest inventions. This gun meets all my criteria, and sounds like it meets yours as well. This gun is great for close in close quarters combat, distance from behind cover, multiple target engagement, rapid fire engagements. I once got knocked down by a wild boar hog and lost my rifle, yeah, I know ain't worth a shit without firepower, but I managed to draw and drop a two hundred ninety pound boar before he could could hit me again. Have I mentioned how much I love this pistol? I was fortunate I wasn't badly injured just bruises and a terribly hurt ego for letting that sucker get that close to me before I realized it. God bless the FNX .45 Tactical.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

[@chrisdobz4468]

I am of the same opinion and just did the exact same thing. I LOVE my 1911 TRP Tactical w/ custom fitted Jarvis threaded barrel but my goodness once I saw one of these in the wild and found out it held 15 rounds of 45 I just had to have it. I’m now an FN fan boy and honestly it prints about the same as my 1911 with fat grips (I’ve got XL hands). I’ll be getting a SCAR 17S in FDE next so the battle kit will be complete.

[@alexp5249]

[@GMC-hr6if]

Very nice. I have a FNX 45. It’s not the Tactical but I like it still.

[@takenusername]

My biggest advice regarding this gun is to ONLY buy it without any bundled optics. I got the model bundled with the Voice Vortex Viper and in doing so they don’t provide any optics mounting plates. There are no locking lugs when you direct mount an optic to this gun. Then, one day when your Viper dies, Vortex will replace it with their newer Defender series, which will also not mount correctly given the screw type (#5-40). You will ultimately have to buy the optics plates separately at $75 each (delivered) just to mount an RMR footprint optic which lets you use a much more common (#6-32) screw. I’m still waiting on my plate to arrive, and once it does, I can put a proper optic on it.

[@modakkagitplugga]

Gonna get one with a 460 Rowland conversion and do an epoxy version of the vanguard raven concealment holster Already cc full size heavy hitting powah from a glock, but versatility is what I'm looking for. Drop down to subsonic or run all the way to low end 44 magnum power, with 15 rd mags if I don't get taken out, the threat on my life absolutely will

You are exactly right it is definitely a combat weapon.

[@gonuts4donuts]

Love this pistol. Recently got one finally, and it's my first "big" .45 after selling my H&K Mk23 some years back. It's better in every way than the H&K in terms of practicality, size, mag capacity, price, optic ready, and light/laser combos are much cheaper than the Mk23's LAM. Although, I will say the Mk23 beats it out in accuracy, when it come to engaging threats, you don't need something that is essentially a nail driver, you can have a little wiggle room in accuracy and still reliably hit a "long range" shot for a pistol.

[@MilSpec1911]

Quick question regarding the optic. Which screws did you use to mount it? The ones that came with the holosun, or the Trijicon mounting screws from the FN kit? I have the same gun and optic and I'm not sure which to use. The screws that came with the holosun are rather short and only get a few threads to engage before they're tight. The screws that came in the FN kit are long enough, but the tapered shoulder doesn't exactly match up with the optic body.
