This. I've looked at them seveal times and they are freaking huge and fat. Best feeling polymer .45 I've felt is the M&P. XD's aren't bad, but I'm still a Glock fan when it comes to plastic fantastics.

Gun show yesterday

I held / compared the FN tactical model - and the GEN4 G21side by side.

The FN grip seemed smaller to me and had more of a contour. So not as blocky.

I could wrap my fingers around the top of the grip (FN) and my index finger and thumb touched without much effort - had to really try to get my fingers around the G21.

I ASSUME but don't know - that the grip size of the tactical and regular FN are the same size.

 

I can't decide -

All black or stainless and black slide?

:dunno:

Everybody knows that FDE is better, faster, more accurate, and deadlier!

 

I have the tactical in FDE and love it! It is a very nice, soft shooting full size .45. Never had any issues with mine in 800 or so rounds.

I've noticed the same. The grip itself feels good, but seems to get fatter feeling in the safety/decocker area. Makes my thumbs forward grip uncomfortable. I get a similar feeling with the HK UPS 45.

I tried calling FNH to figure out what the difference is between the two models / products listed on BUDS as --

FN 66047 FNP45 45 NS

FN 66048 FNP45 45 WT FT NS

BUDS lists them as 15+1 - a few other web sites list these same codes as 14+1

I just want to know which mag comes with the gun - no one knows - no one cares -

What does WT & FT mean?

These are FNH product codes - I called FNH 2x - talked with 2 different people in 2 different departments - one guy in CUSTOMER SERVICE said - I don't have any product information. WTF sort of customer service department doesn't have any product information? :shocked:

I actually got zero information - they have no idea what the difference is - they don't care to even try and answer a few simple questions.

Then I called BUDS - the person I talked to had no information - she transferred me to another person with no information - then transferred me to a line that said - we are busy call back later - and hung up on me. :steamed:



My - DON'T BUY meter is at red line - if they don't give a crap about a customer that is just trying to get a few simple questions answered BEFORE they buy a $650 product - what sort of service will I get if I do have a problem down the road?

I waited all weekend - was feeling like a kid on Christmas morning - wanted to place my order - now I think I will start looking at S&W M&P and GLOCK again.

 

The mags (like shown in my photo above) allow for 15 + 1. I believe the standard .45 may come with one of those as well as two with a flat base which is why you may be seeing 14 + 1. From FN's site I see that they ship with 3 mags. Not exactly sure which are included.

"Not exactly sure which are included"

You know as much as about is as the customer service folks at FNH.

I know they have a lot of different models - too many to just know - but how can they not have the ability to LOOK UP the information?

I bet they have the ability to look it up - they just don't want to go through the trouble of doing it.

Not just FNH - but every darn company seems to care less and less about customer service.

Three magazines come with the FNP-45. For the non-Tactical models, you get one 15 round magazine and two 14 round magazines. Tactical models get three 15 round magazines.

I have a FN Five Seven with zero problems. Can't say anything about customer service since I have never needed it. I do know that the main guy who was involved with customer service was told to retire due to budget issues. It is a shame about the customer service since the FN products are quite good.
