jrfly3006 42 Posted July 12, 2013 Finally getting around to my newest addition and first step into .45 handguns. It's an FNX-45..got it from Atlantic Tactical in Somerset. In all honesty I was looking for a lightweight pure duty-type .45 pistol and this fit the bill for me...what sold me was price ($599.00), 15+1 capacity( comes with 3 mags), weight and rail up front...also like having the ability to go SA or DA as situation dictates and have option to go safe or decock using ambi lever.. She's big as many have said but lightweight and very controllable Fatboy double stack .45 magazine Interchangeable back straps to accomodate different hand sizes All in all I love this gun...about 150 rds through it and not a burp whatsoever...recoil is vey manageable and while not a custom 1911 tack driver..accuracy is very good when I benched it at 25yds..very happy with my first .45 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sludog 0 Posted July 13, 2013 How do the grips feel on that gun? Looks like they would really tear up your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
checko 180 Posted July 13, 2013 They're pretty aggressive. Pretty wide grip too but it fits me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrfly3006 42 Posted July 13, 2013 How do the grips feel on that gun? Looks like they would really tear up your hand.more textured than most but they wont tear up your hands., actually gives you a very solid positive feel on the gun when firing... It wont slip in your hand.... I would try handling one first as some find its too big but I'm a size medium-large hand and I have absolutely no problem with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polak 3 Posted July 13, 2013 I've thought about getting one. How does it shoot compared to the glock 21? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted July 13, 2013 Very nice. Gotta love 15 rounds of 45. I am going to combine hi cap 45 and 1911 for one of my next purchases. Para 14/45. 14 rounds of 45 in a 1911. best of both worlds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
