It has been around a while, but it is still relevant, the FNX-45 Tactical from FN. It is suppressor ready, red dot ready, light/laser ready, and just ready to go without any of those!

I love my custom grade 1911s. But this is on another level. The single action can be cocked and locked and thr single action is not bad. Take up the usual slack from a double/single action, and the let off is fairly light. 15 round capacity beats every other 45 semi auto. Beats the HK USP of 10 rounds, beats the Glock 21 ar 13 rounds. Designed and built to be a battle pistol. Rugged, reliable, impervious to weather, rain, snow, salt. Just a beast to take when the SHTF.

I did install a Zohan recoil spring and a Rex Silentium Glompensator Muzzle Brake to the ones not modified by Rowland. This is my personal CCW, I carry it in the woods when hunting or hiking, it's just a great all around pistol. It really is a great pistol in every sense of the word. And yes, I do have my Glock friends who are trying to lead me to a saving knowledge of the Glock.

This pistol is amazing and one of my absolute favorites. 15 rounds of 45 ACP on tap is nothing to balk at and while you can actually carry this thing IWB in the winter with a flannel pretty easily, when it's loaded up with 15 rounds of 230 grain JHP's? It's a bit heavy after a while but that's not what this is designed for anyway. My application is laptop bag back up pistol. Mine came with 5 magazines I keep them all loaded up with Underwood 230 grain JHP's and keep them in by bag and the Vortex Venom already installed and zeroed, hasn't gone out of zero in more than 100 rounds, if for any reason I need that extra hard hitting back up, it's there and ready to go. I never feel under armed with my EDC and this in my laptop bag, those coupled with my GHM9 in my truck means anyone that effs around is definitely going to find the eff out. Best 45 ACP that's not a 19 or 2011 on the planet and certainly the best of the polymer framed options in my humble opinion.

I bought this FNX, tactical 45, bought extra clips was planning on using it as my main battle weapon…. The FNX tactical has several design flaws first and foremost the magazine well…. Has problems excepting a mag, if not inserted, exactly right second problem the mag release after extended period of wearing your FNX tactical, your magazine might be released. also, I have had problems with the safety return into fire position…. I love my FNX. But be aware. ;)

I have had none of those problems and mine is 10 years old. It’s been nothing but stellar. I don’t think FN would put out a bad on but it could happen. Send it in for repair as those issues are not normal.

Unlikely as they seem to be migrating toward 9mm only. The FNS has a model in .40, the newer 509 series is all 9mm.

@@HammerStriker well they are eternally slow at releasing new models of guns haha.. they just released the 503 about 4 years too late for it to be relevant. luckily, the XDM elite series is coming out in 45 and 10 soon so im very much looking forward to that. hoping for a 3.8" 13-14+1 45. load it up with 45 super and you have yourself a bolder launcher

No thank you. Say no to short slide tabs, common to all polymer pistols- give me FULL Length slide rails like my metal Sig Sauer P2XX pistols - like my nrw old stock P227 Elite, and for the same cost of $1000-1300. FN has great heritage , its not 1940 anymore, but no thank you. Excellent premier reviews . 73, male, New Hampshire.

Just bought fnx 45 tactical. Recommended grain for self defense? Targeting? Type? Brass or is nickel plated ok?
@HammerStriker3 жыл бұрын
The standard round for .45 is 230 grain, most companies design and test their guns for that weight. Most target ammo is brass cased (do not use steel case) and most defense ammo is nickel plated because it resists corrosion better than brass for rounds that will be left in the chamber for an extended amount of time. Both should work fine in this gun.

@Dio Black , I don't know where you got your numbers, but they are considerably off compared to what buffalo bore has on their website. I converted my FNX, and have been very satisfied with the performance. The only issue is that I have to be picky about bullet style for consistency, but with the right loads it has been 100%. 15 rounds of 255 gr. HC-FN @ 1,300 fps / 957 ft. lbs is nothing to be sneezed at.

Going from the tip of the trigger to the flat just before the beavertail curve is 3.28 inches (the Hundredths may vary a bit as it matters exactly where you hit on that backstrap).
