Unless I'm remembering wrong wasn't the FNX Tac their entry into the Joint Combat Pistol Program? Wasn't one of the requirements of that program that all submissions be in 45ACP?
I'm sure FN could crank out a 9mm host gun without much modification though. |

I would think there could be a market for one with all the same options. I agree. I would love to have a high capacity 9mm pistol with high iron sights and can readily take a red dot and suppressor. I've gotten to the point that I'm thinking about buying a regular service pistol, adding an after market barrel and sights, and sending it off to a gunsmith to mill the slide. But good gracious that's expensive. |

You need to seek out the
HK Tactical USP 9MM. It was at SHO T this year. I am going to get a threaded pipe for my VP9 soon. My wife's FN MK 2 Fiveseven. .is can ready from FN ..jjust waiting on my can to get out of jail. |

FNH keeps kinda flirting with the handgun market, but just doesn't seem to ever take it very seriously.
I guess making 87 zillion other guns, most of which with wildly successful military contracts, can lead to neglecting market segments. |

What I want is the FNP45, but chambered in 9mm. Same size, same everything, just change the barrel and magazine. A big, meaty, soft shooting, 20 round capacity 9mm.

They've been playing around with that design for several years now. It can't seem to catch on with the market. Decent pistol just doesn't do anything a dozen other designs already do just as well. Honestly don't know anyone who owns any of the FN pistols. It doesn't help that they keep coming out with a new version every couple of years. |

Other than the Fiveseven and 45 TAC..their pistols are meh at best. In the years I was a part time counter jockey I don't think I ever sold one.

Looking forward to the Glock MOS line. If anything, it may shake up the market for RDS ready guns. |

They should have stuck to the FNP line. Their DA/SA guns are great, even for my inner DA/SA hater. Their striker fired guns are extremely meh, IMO. |

Looking forward to the Glock MOS line. If anything, it may shake up the market for RDS ready guns. I do think that Glock's new line is exciting. Now, personally I'm not a huge fan of the Glocks. Nothing against the guns, they just fit my hand weird & I do prefer a thumb safety. But...the MOS line has got me drooling. Not to the point I'm ready to jump into Glocks, but pretty darn close to it. I really do hope that they jump start the market for RDS ready guns. ETA - One drawback with the Glock MOS is that the sights are all standard height. So you'd still have to install aftermarket sights and barrel. |

For the size of the gun, 10mm would be more appropriate.

But good gracious that's expensive. My Glock 19, rmr, milling work, cerakote and aftermarket threaded barrel cost about $1450. Same price as a FNX tactical. Could get that cheaper if you bought one of the glocks that came with factory threaded barrel. |

All things being equal, the M&P Core wouldn't be awful for $770.
Still need to put an aftermarket barrel on it though.

I want a FNX tactical BAD. But all my pistols are in 9mm because I have like 8k rounds of 9mm and 0 rounds of .45. I would FO hard on a FNX tactical 9.
