Normally I try to avoid the "Brand A" vs "Brand B" debates, but maybe someone with experience with both guns can chime in.
My brother-in-law is in the market for a new .45 and, of all the options out there, the choice has come down to either the Glock 21 (standard fat-grip model) or the FNP-45. He asked me what I thought, and I don't have any experience with the models in question. (This would be primarily a range blaster/HD weapon).
Going just on feedback from some folks here, the G-21 appears to be a generally accurate and reliable gun that's had some past issues - which would appear to have been addressed by now?
I don't know if the FNP has been out long enough to generate any kind of a track record. I've heard of a few feeding issues, but that may be just anecdotal.
Locally anyway, the Glock is the least expensive option.
So, would it be accurate to say that these two pistols are approximately equal in the categories of accuracy and reliability?
