Any love for FN guns?

[FireMedic102]

I like my FX45 tactical. There was more of a break in period than I have experienced with any other gun but it’s great now. Seems very well made and it’s very easy to shoot. I was also curious about the reflex but based on reviews here maybe the Sig 365 is a better option?

I own two of their pistols: FNX-45 & FN 509. Both are very high quality firearms.

The FNX-45 is a very accurate, soft shooting 15+1 .45 ACP pistol. Can't think of another with that capacity in that caliber.

The 509 has been very reliable and comfortable to shoot. 17+1 9mm capacity with an optional 24 round magazine. Very reliable and easy to carry.

I carry both pistols with confidence.

I really like the FNX 45 Tactical and shoot it well. I would be very happy if they made that in 10mm rather than the striker fired 510.

I still have my FNX-45 and FNX-9. The left-handed friendly controls, true ambi design and hammer DA/SA with decocker was the draw. the 45 is solid but the FNX-9 feels like it was built by muppets compared to fine German no compromise of an Hk P30. Too bad FN gets no love cause everyone's always been and always will be a Glock whore.

You mean Sig, Glock, S&W, Ruger, Springfield, Taurus whores? All of them individually outsell (to the point of clobbering the shit out of, like an eskimo clubbing a ton of baby seals) FN. (I forgot a whole bunch more of brands bit you get the idea)

FN has nonexistent customer service, the mags are a ripoff, and their pistols range from shitty to mediocre.

Well, mine date back from the very early 20th century to 1944. Can't complain!

I was referring to their polymer guns, haven’t shot their metal guns. One good thing is the ambi controls.

I don't see or hear too much about them, but I got the chance to fondle an FN Reflex at a LGS and I think I'm in love. Very small but good capacity. Price as about half of it's big brother the FN 545 that was next to it on the counter.

My only FN that I own is an Auto - 5 still going strong after 79 years, so my opinion of them is high, but is that opinion still justified?

I have a FNAR that I've tried to sell/trade about a dozen times. Every time I pull it out, work the action, and just say 'nope'. Smoothest action of any firearm I own.

Edit: now that you mention it, I may have to take it in and get the barrel threaded......for reasons.

Picked it up today. We’ll hit the range this weekend. Just playing with it I really like it. Good trigger, great night sights, 11 and 15 rd magazines. With the 12 rd mag in, it’s smaller than my 7 round LC9s and super lightweight with a thinner feel to the grip than I’m used to, in a good way.

Too bad it’s my son’s birthday gift. lol

Love my FNs. For pistols, I own an FN Hi Power, FNX45T and FN510T. Just picked up the 510. Good trigger, and includes 15rd and 22 rd mags in the Lord’s caliber. Should be interesting with a can. For rifles, I own an FNS2000, SCAR16, SCAR17 and SCAR20.

Not really, no.

I have a beautiful FN-49 in 30-06 that I love.

Really shitty to barely better than s+w

I like my 509, shoots well for me, no complaints. The mags prices are insane, more insane than SIG which is hard to believe.
