Already in the Glock 10mm family and I don’t shoot .45 ACP but good for them for coming out with new models.

Short slide make it look choppy and snappy for recoil......................................no thanks. It will also be discontinued in a year or two like other modern FN designs.

My FN509T is an amazing gun and easy to shoot comfortably. It is among my favorites. The da/sa guns are nice but everyone wants striker fired guns now.

Quote HistoryQuoted: And just like that, the FNX is pretty much dead. (It already had one foot in the grave.) But isn't that typical of FN pistols? I mean, the FNX-T has been around probably longer than any of the rest but still, just another line kill off? I'm not digging the extendo look at all. Seems bulky and awkward. Guess I need to go buy that 45 FNX-T now on buy now pay later plan.  I think I'd rather go with the S&W MP 10 for the 10mm.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The striker market is saturated, and the demand for hammer fired guns, particularly SAO, is exploding. The problem with the FNX-45T isn't that it's a hammer fired gun. The problem is that it's a ~$800 gun that costs $1,400. Unless these 510s and 545s have amazing triggers or something, they're going to flop hard competing against Glocks, Sigs, and M&Ps while costing several hundred dollars more. If anything, I'd say the FNX-45T is a more viable product on the market than the striker fired 545 because it actually has traits to differentiate it from the market.

I have a FN 509T and a 509 Edge. Those triggers aren't an upgrade to anything except for the ones on an original BHP. A legit 7 pounds on one, and 5 on the other.
The new '22 High Power is finally a good factory trigger for FN (4 pounds). |

This right here, FN and Walther are horrible about bringing new models out. aFN tends to drop support for the old ones. At least when Walther replaced the PPQ they kept mag compatibility.

I have plenty of guns that don't have factory support. The difference is, a good chunk of those guns are over 80 years old. More modern, post war designs that I have that don't have factory support are because the company went out of business altogether (MSAR AUG) or the design has been retired after a few decades of support and there are no major markets for it anymore (S&W 3rd Gens). But FN is known for simply dropping support within a few years and just outright abandoning it and their owners. Overall, I'm not that impressed by this pistol or most modern designs hitting the market. They all shoot the same cartridge and the wheel can only be invented so many times. Another polymer frame striker fired pistols that you can put a RDS and light on plus coming with a threaded barrel in an ocean of such pistols doesn't stand out. GLOCK, HS, SIG, Walther, HK, S&W, Beretta, etc... they all have them. Now, .45 ACP and 10mm is a slightly smaller market space and there is less competition in that market since companies like HK and Beretta have stated they aren't going to make a large frame pistol. But still.... it is just kinda boring. |

I don't particularly care for the Glock 10mm's or the SIG polymer 10mm. As for support, I stand by what I said. I have owned many guns that didn't offer warranty support. In fact, there've only been two guns I've ever owned that I actually GOT warranty support for. Ironically, one of them was a SIG 10mm. But neither of those guns was something I'd had lying around for years. If a gun breaks right after I buy it and I'm not satisfied with the factory response, it's gone. Sold or traded. If it doesn't break in the initial period, I've always considered repair my own responsibility. It's a non-issue. |
