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

[Sam7sf]

Its ok, for what is functionally a prettied up hipoint

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.

I've fired @grumper MP5 twice. It is not 6 pounds. Have you ever held one? It's about 8 pounds. My full size AR is lighter. NEVER trust the spec sheet on the website they almost always lie about weight.

Is 8 pounds loaded, with an optic? MP5SD aint 8 pounds.

Mine is very close to 7lbs.

Even if we accept 8lbs, please show me a 4lb AR9

It's the only gun he likes. It has cat hair all over it.

Maybe im just a weakling, it felt heavier than that.

It's not a featherweight gun, but its not heavy in the slightest. Not having a pound and a half bolt carrier group helps a lot

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

I do want a full size 1911 at some point, but at heart, I'll always be team Glock baby.

Sigh we don’t have cookies.
But son see the light we are waiting

 

[Shady]

my fnx is on the list of never sell

Oh wait all my guns are on that list

Its more accurate than I am

no hard recoil more like a push back

Never had an issue with it. I think people who clam they are riddled with problems have never owned one and go by what they read on the internet and we know it its on the net its true.

I got it the first year they were out and have never noticed it getting soft/melting in the heat here in TX not that its ever that hot here lol.

With my monster paws it fits very well.

Anything with “tactical” in the name was thought up by someone crawling around a urine soaked truck stop bathroom floor in a meth induced frenzy to suck as much strange cock as they can fit in their mouth.

Avoid all things “tactical”.

 

[Hoji]

You should especially avoid “tactical” training. I am pretty sure in involves a lot of black leather restraints ( cause if it is painted/dyed black is is even moar tactical) a ball gag and an obstacle course in the men’s room of a Flying J.

I dry-fired a few of the FNX models at the NRA show last month and the triggers seemed better than you'd expect for a gun in this category. Worth going to the next step -- find a range that rents them or someone who'll let you run a mag through theirs.

Remember when the VP 9 was the Dawlin to have?

The VP9 is awesome though. I want to get the optic ready one.

I think, I'm getting a whiff of 'ducati'...

Nope it's just you

 

[Darqhelmet]

For the money I’ll take a CZ97. Oh wait I did.

I’m not big enough to comfortably carry the FNX. So it’s a range toy which meant I bought the all metal pistol and love it.

 

[TxStetson]

I think, I'm getting a whiff of 'ducati'...

I’ve been thinking that for a while.

 

[KJQ6945]

My opinion, nothing more.

Comparing 3 comparable, double stack .45 guns, the FNX, the HK 45, and the CZ97.

The CZ feels good in your hand. The HK feels awesome! The FNX feels like a square cactus, better wear gloves.

The CZ has a trigger that can be as sweet as the best 1911 you’ve ever shot. The HK, more of a combat trigger. The FNX is a square cactus. Does a cactus have a trigger?
