I was hoping we could keep this thread alive for awhile its always nice to check out what others are expanding into. After 25 years I finally got my first rifle back I bought a Ruger mini 14 5F in 1984 and owned it until 1992 when I traded it to my Sgt for a Rem 700 in 22-250.. When I heard his heal...

Basically its a 1911 on steroids... intersting. I've heard this is now available in .50AE and rivals the Desert Eagle for those who prefer a 1911-style pistol. Was available.

Well, Jay I use my older Gemtech M4-96D with the upgraded G-5 mount on the SBR and I found it to be very good with both sub's and hi-velocity stuff. Although heavier it's a GREAT can.

I guess I am a little late to the topic here but I found the same issue and now load all my .45's to 1.250.The FNP-45 mags do not like 1.27-1.275 O.A.L. Since I haven't used any other Factory Ammo I couldn't say which brands have the shorter length but WWB is too long.

I really need to get me a threaded barrel for my FNP-45. mine would not run the 230gr Gold dots. If at a future date FN offers these in black I might go that route. I just can't get my head around the FDE color.

Dude.... I'm tellin you, Make an adapter and buy some McCormick's. The older mags with the welded on bottoms are notorious for spreading the feed lips apart.
I will also repeat this comment I made earlier.
This was the most accurate pistol I owned until I bought my first FiveseveN. PERIOD.

Sweet. I have been looking at getting a 6.8 but I think I'm going to just get the kit for my Robinson XCR. They are completing the preliminary testing on the 6.5G and should have those kits available sometime this year. I know their beta tester personally and the reports are pretty good using an 18....

was it with the 14rd or 15 rd mags? There are quite a few claims of feed issues on the FN forum with the .45. Could try polishing up the feed ramp, and measuring OAL of round. Many over there were having feed issues with WWB.. I tried both 14's and 15's and with 230gr ball had no issues with all 4 ...

Took her to the range. It won't feed my favorite load though. 230 gr Gold Dot's wouldn't feed no matter how many or rather few were in the mag. Other than that it shoots really good-awesome but not quite in the awesome-spectacular realm. Worthy competition to the Glock , XD,and HK-45 USP.

I almost forgot to mention. Until I got my FiveseveN's this was the most accurate pistol I owned. If I do my part it will shoot 2.5" groups at 25 yds all day long.

Wolly ,you might want to try a slower powder like 335 . It will give a longer duration of port pressure before bullet exit. Looking in my Sierra V it lists 25.3 at max for H322 and only 3200 fps. With H335 you can go up to 28 and close in on 3500 fps.
