Picked up my new FNX-45 Tactical.....but

[Polak 3]

The plates to mount the Trijicon RMR red dot are missing. I emailed FN and am waiting for them to reply.

 

This sucks I wanted to go shoot it today with the RMR....

Ah bummer...did it come in the nylon case or the hard plastic one...because that plastic one has many nooks where things like to "hide"..at any rate you'll love that gun..mine comes with me to the range just about every trip...enjoy!

It's the nylon case. I looked everywhere and couldn't find it.

 

Pics tomorrow.

Did you look in the suppressor holder?  Thats where mine were, no idea why. 

 

Nice purchase, I love mine and have a ton of fun with it every time it comes out. 

[chris327 30]

yea really look through everywhere in the case. Mine were all over and the screws were just loose all over in there. had to search for the screws to find them all. I thought they were missing at first to.

I want that pistol, I keep changing my mind on the finish! I see the black finish a lot, haven't seen a FDE in a long time.

 

What finish did you get and how much was it?

 

All this best with it!

I looked everywhere even behind the lining of the case...no plates.

FNH gave me the big shaft...they "don't have them in stock and are backordered until October". Yeah. Thanks for the $1000...now go f*** yourself.

 

Wow....just wow. In the mean time, does anyone know where I can buy the plates?

[jrfly3006 42]

Try midwest gun works..they usually have alot of FN stuff in stock

[Shane45 807]

Where did you get the Pistol from?

[bry@n 195]

I'd be pissed off. I'd also be calling the place I got it from to see what they can do.

Wow thats f'ed up. Tell them to suck it up and pull em from anither gun.

 

If you needed any plate but the rmr I would loan it to you until you got one. Im using my rmr plate on mine already though.

[chris327 30]

check out the fn forum. Someone there might be able to help you better. i remember once before someone broke their plate somehow and someone got them a replacement. So its worth a shot. Also i agree with asking the ffl for some help in the issue.
 

u think were pretty much all using the trijicon rmr plate.

They're out.

First place I tried. They said they can't ship me the plates and I'd have to return the gun. I told them that was out of the question. They then told me to try FNH and that's what I did.

[Brownie^HP 6]

It would not surprise me if FNH knew the plates were missing when they shipped it. What did the dealer stay when you told them they were missing?

[Polak 3]

He told me the only verify the serial number and that they don't take any parts out of the package.

 

He said I could return the gun but I told him it was already transferred to me.

 

I'm SOL for now it seems.

[jrfly3006 42]

Im on FN Forums alot...I will keep my eyes peeled for ya...another option is call Atlantic Tactical in Somerset..theyre an FN dealer and may have some laying around..

Thanks for the help. Please let me know.

[chris327 30]

check out styker enterprise. http://strykerent.com/index.html

he deals with lots of fn parts and might be able to get one.

Polak, I got your PM, but found this thread while I was searching the internet for the parts.  I checked with all my distributors and they don't have them, I  contacted FNH today and they say the same BS that they are on back order forever.

 

If I were the FFL you purchased it from, I would have pulled one from an in-stock firearm and fight the fight with FNH myself.  That said, I would contact the FFL and have them do just that. 

 

One thread I found said try this guy.

"STRYKER ENTERPRISES for all your FN Parts needs Email him through his website to ask him if he has stock of the part. Good luck."

Thank you. I tried all that though. My FFL only did the transfer. I bought the gun online. Emailed them asking if try can pull it from an in stock gun, but they wanted me to return the one transferred to me. We all know that's not an option in NJ.

 

Again, thanks for the help.

[Polak 3]

Got them from a FNforum member who was not going to use his...big thanks to him and here she is:

How does she shoot was thinking about picking one up. Anyone have any experiences. It got great reviews on the interwebs.

I love mine. Very accurate, recoil is minimal for a 45, has been reliable through about 1k rds of everything from tula to hp ammo. Only caution is that its a big gun. Def not for ppl with small hands.

[PD2K 115]

Congratulations on getting the plates! Enjoy...that looks pretty badass!

[Polak 3]

I shot it yesterday for the first time. Shoots smoothly and is super accurate (especially with the RMR).

[HardCorr 0]

Just picked one up from Caso's in JC (Great Gun Shop). Can't wait to get out and shoot her. Gonna hold off on the RMR, gotta a few other projects I want to finish first. Glad to hear all the good feedback , Thanks.

How much did you pay and did the plates come with it?

[HardCorr 0]

I paid about $1175 out the door tax and nics. JC 3.5% sales tax. It did come with 2 plates in the soft case. Where did you get yours and how much $.
