Pablo Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 What are your thoughts on: FNH FNP-45This gun seems to have most everything I want. And it's not too small. $599 with 3 14 rnd mags.I did want a 5" barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 CDNN has these for $549.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks - good point of reference. Shipping, sales tax and licensing fee put most all out of state deals down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think you should just get an SVI Infinity Tiki 1911 and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 You got one for $600? No, but if you find one for that price and don't want it, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Here's a review on it. Considering whose name is on it, I don't think you can go wrong.http://www.handgunsmag.com/featured_handguns/hg_a45_200803/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I thought you were looking for a metal .45?In the $500 to $600 - ish plastic fantastic segment, I'm partial to the Beretta Storms because I like the italian looks of the Beretta, and the rotating barrel. I figure looks are as good a reason as any to buy a gun. I've looked at the FN's a few times and really didn't see anything that distinguished them from the others in their segment. Not that that means anything; they're all fine weapons.I think that if there is a gun you like, just get it, it will probably work just fine. If you don't like it, just toss it back in the safe - it's not like they eat anything or take up a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I bought the bloody thing for an interesting reason. The controls are very much like my 1983 Sig! Well except they are ambi.The gun is well put together, feels really really nice in my hand - not big at all. The 14 round mags are nice. My eye ball likes the sights big time.

Pablo Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I went through two 50 round boxes of 45 ACP like nothing. The gun does shoot nice. Cycles very cleanly. But man talk about serious magazine springs....sometimes though a tiny amount of silicone lube on the plate helps - not with the spring, just helps it from getting angled when shoving ammo in, I'm going to try that. Got a huge hernia with the last two rounds in the mag each time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
