Is the FN FNX 45 Tactical really the bee's knees?

[dartsinsa]

I have one in FDE. It is a pretty sweet shooter, and two mags are 17 rounders, which is a lot of 45 acp on tap.
The only issue I have is it is just a tad too big for my short stubby paws.
I actually have a few safe queens I should consider letting go....including a Baer TRS....

Let me have it ill drive to Chicago fo.a screw

Keep talking that free shit army crap. I’ll let you have straight in the kisser Alice, bang zoom to the moon

Old school still works...
Two words we surrender....

The best parts of the 1911 have been taken and improved, and exist in many other designs, and even the newest gun design is basically straight from the 70's at the latest.

The 1911 you buy today is not the same 1911 that stormed Utah beach.

Grips change pretty easily. Myself I do like some of the look of the more exotic grips, but really all that matters to me is how the feel in sweaty hands.

sorry....my sad attempt at humor....I don't post much, now you know one reason why.....heh

Sarge made excellent grips, and these are sweet. The original Baer grips are not bad either.....

I'm gonna put this in Nutnfancy terms.. For 2nd cool yes.. for 1st cool there are pistols that do it way better for way less money.

2nd cool is having something because it looks cool or you like the way it looks. Like the MP5... There are tons of guns that do what the MP5 does and better, but the 2nd cool is undeniable.

Since you sold your home in cali and have a millino dollars to spend **** it.. why not? Otherwise I'll outshoot that FN with any canik I have. ;-)

If I didn't already have a cz97 I would consider one. I love. 45acp and da/sa. Not a big polymer fan but I dig the esthetics of the FN pistols.

On the Mp5, not really. The options are an Mp5, stribog a3, calico, LWRC SMG, sig mpx or a CMMG RDB.

The Mp5 is the only real option. The mpx is second closest, but it's made by sig, not fun when suppressed, and sig will absolutely pull the rug out from under you,like they did to first gen mpx owners

Blow back guns are not in the same class, the CZ scorpion, 9mm Ak's, 9mm AR's, vector, ruger charger, all the B+T guns... They might not be bad, but they do not rate when compared to a well made and designed delayed blowback system

Yes, I love my fnx, and with an osprey attached it's truly amazing. I've had mine for a long time, no issues, and really accurate with the tall night sites. But she is massive to carry. I actually carry it in a shoulder holster with the can on. But I'm a big dude....

I love it. I have 2. They are discontinued now. I may have one converted to 10mm.

So the AR9 with a 10 inch barrel is less capable than an MP5 while being half or less the weight. Got it.

Dude you’re the first person I’ve heard who carried with a can attached to their daily carry. That’s awesome.

An mp5 weighs about 6lbs. Most ar9's are 5-7lbs, and a CZ scorpion is about 6-7lbs

The AR9 is less durable, less reliable. An AR9 has ergonomics and easier ability to mount optics. The Mp5 is still very modular and can be set up with whatever your heart desires.


The Mp5 is a far smoother shooting gun, it makes blowback guns feel like jackhammers.

Actually the ruger pc9 design takes away some of what I disliked about the marlin 9.

My fudd is showing.

I just imagined a group of tier 1 operators rolling in on 2 wheel drive pickups, and jumping out with Marlin 9’s ready to do operator sh**.
