Been Jones'ing for one of these for a long time. If it shoots 45acp, I want it, at least for a while to run through its paces.

I think I've owned em all, except the CZ and the AMT Backup-45.

So, been thinking that a high cap 45 might be the thing when size and concealment were not the order of the day. The FN pistol his big... bigger than a Colt Government Model. The PM45's will not leave my pocket - so no danger of falling off the Kahr-wagon. The new FNX series has standard some of the nicer features of the older FN series "better models" which I think were called the FN-G models - for govt. contract series. Those had cocked and locked single action, as well as decocker positions on the safety. There were some other doodads too, I can't remember em all.

Full report on arrival, in about ten days.

I've been thinking along the same lines as you - a high cap 45.
So I folded and just ordered a full size HK USP Tactical 45.

Isn't that nice?
It's time to celebrate good times my friend!

I know a guy who has one of these and he absolutely LOVES it!!
He has around a 1,000 rounds through it without a malfunction.

The FN forum is much like the Kahr forum... lots of good info, lots of fools who refuse to read the manual, lots of anal retentives that worry about an exceedingly minute cosmetic inconsistancy, lots of good shooters who try to help everyone through the process of attaining FN nirvana.

I shot the FNX-45 months ago and I loved almost everything about it. My only complaint would be the super aggressive grip texture. If not for that I could have shot it all day. I'm sure you will love it.

HKPro is the same way.
Funny how that works isn't it?

I guess it shows that human beings are consistent in their nature
