It wasn't a refined 1911 by any means, but I didn't expect it to be. I liked it as much as I like Glocks, not pleasing to the eye, but it wo...

Re: Welp, looking for a second pistol.

As said before, go with 9mm. That will be the most economical. Next closest thing will be an oddball round. Although no one mentioned 9x25 dillion. You can push an 80 grain bullet well over 2000fps out of them. Just through a comp on the end, and you should be good to go (except your ears of course).

Re: FNP-45 Tactical, is the mag problem solved?

They were one of the few there not trying to feed me a plate of BS about their guns (they didn't even try and sugar coat the price of the Ballista, and they didn't seem happy about it). Stag, RIA, and Sig didn't get very high marks. Somehow Remington, Ithaca, and a few random others did. Mostly I wa...

Re: FNP-45 Tactical, is the mag problem solved?

The FNX45 has different mags, and a larger internal diameter in the frame. I posted a thread on this somewhere on here when I spoke to the FNH reps at the JSC show. Most of the issues in the FNP45's were with bulk ammo. Basically the ammo had too large of an OAL since bulk ammo spends less time on t...
