FNX45 Tactical Questions

[Eurodriver]

Looking at getting a 45 handgun that I can easily throw an RMR on and suppress.

This seems to check all the boxes but I’ve seen weird reviews. Flexible magwells. Horrible triggers. Not generally a fan of FN firearms unless it is belt fed.

Can anyone tell me if these are good to go?

They are enormous, even by 45 standards.

That’s fine. I have huge hands.

I’d personally get an HK45T milled for an RMR, but that’s just me. I’m not a fan of FN pistols. That video of the one literally melting in regular sunlight turned me off to them permanently.

Ok I'll do this. I didn't know I can have an HK45T milled.

I had a standard FNX45, and loved it. Only got rid of it when I replaced it with a P320-M17. It is big, and if you have baby hands like I do, you'll definitely have a handful, but it's doable.

I had the FNP45 and FNX45. Never had any issues after I got the right mags for the FNX45. I prefer shooting the HK45 but the FNX worked fine for me as a range toy. I didn't have a red dot because I had the pistols back when my eyes still worked. We did a pistol eval in 2008 for SWAT to get 45's. The HK45 was selected even though the FN had 14/15 round mags. The red dot is the key as you would have to get the HK milled. If you are okay with the FN's 2x4 grip then I say go for it. As for longevity FN seems to be about as interested in 45's as HK is. Good luck, David

This is true. I loved mine, but it was just too big for my hands to feel confident to carry and shoot under pressure.

I have bought an HK45T with a LEM trigger and will be sending it to these guys once I get some rounds through it and make sure it works appropriately.

Glad I didn't go with the FN
