My new FNX-45

Recommended Posts

Managed to find one at a pre-crazy price. Unfortunately, this is the last one he had.

 

This isn't a gun for people with small or medium hands as the mags hold 15 rounds in double stack. My hands are marginal, even with the small backstrap (swapable) on. Speaking of which, the moulded checkering on the frame and backstrap is super aggressive and provides excellent grip. I've ordered a smooth backstrap which should make the grip circumference a little smaller. Range time next week.

Yep. It is as rough as 20 grit. I think they did it because the grip frame is so big and wanted sure the shooter has good purchace on the gun. I don't mind the side panels so much, but I can forsee the backstrap being murder on my palm.

 

I know the mags are different from the FNP and so are some of the controls.

 

The FNX's have very aggressive checkering, I was not a fan when I shot it. The FNP's were sweet though, basically same gun but the FNX is the updated one I believe, correct?

FNX is a fantastic shooter and fits large hands very well. Unfortunately, I personally could not stand the abuse from the checkering after a typical range day of a few hundred rounds. Swapped for a FNP with a fellow member over at Five Seven Forum.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
