FN 45 opinion please

[barnabus1999]

For pistol I mainly shoot 45 acp in Colt 1911 and some 357 and 44 in my S&W.

Today I found this. Opinion? Anyone own one? I have one FN shotgun and am impressed. Also have an RMR I can swap out although looks a little bulky. That sure would be fun w rmr, can, and light.

I would drop two grand on an FN before I would drop it on a Kimber. This thing has everything you could want. What's not to like?

I have the FNX-45, two-tone, non-tactical edition. It's big, it's fat. Surprisingly, not that heavy. But it's accurate as hell-- it's a freakin' tack-driver, even though it's got a loooong mushy trigger. Large, easy to pick up 3-dot sights with a larger dot on the front sight (not tritium). It points well, and I can actually conceal it in a K-Rounds kydex pancake rig. 15 plus 1 rounds of .45 ACP? Heck, yeah! Durable, reliable with any JHPs. It's my bedside home-defense pistol, in fact.

I can see with an RMR, it'd be even better. I'm sure with a can, you'd have even more fun with it... I'm a fan of FN pistols; the 509 is another worthy, but highly under-rated pistol.

I have an FNX-45 Tactical.

A large gun but surprisingly it is not real heavy, grip is very nice sized.

Very accurate and suppresses incredibly well.

Brand of suppressor you'd recommend?
Just ordered a Quell for 308 from Wilson.

thanks all for the input.

I have an Silencerco Osprey that I use on the FNX.

There are many newer models on the market now, I do not know what to recommend.

I have 2 Dead Air suppressor 's and really like those, I would look at those if buying today.

Picked up an fnp45, not much different than the fnx45, about ten years ago. Still have it, have 5 mags, factory tac pac, spare barrel, spare slide cut for rmr. Would go to battle with it in a heart beat.

Opinion? Anyone own one?

I love mine but unless you "need" one you might be well served to wait a bit - pre-panic I got mine for $850 and $900 was common.

I like mine. Fun pistol suppressed. Has ate everything I have thrown at it, to include of pretty amateur reloads I did when I first started.
