Great advice about the "lock tight". I totally forgot about it and haven't seen anyone recommend it lately. I can use it for a couple of my gun laser sights/tact lights. Thanks.
Well neither the website or manual has any indication that point towards "match" grade parts but I can tell you that off hand I can put 45acp slugs touching each other repeatedly at 25 yards standing and that is accuracy as good as any that a match barrel or trigger can provide.
Let it come down to how the guns feel in your hand and how they would fit your need for such a gun rather than what a company says it has.
Make sure the one you choose is a match to you and your style.
To give you a good idea on how it compares the glock 19 is very similar to the fnp 9. I just recently got a FNP-9 and took it to the range and I was very surprised. The FN just felt right. It was easy to grip and shoot and the controls were very comfortable. It only took a few shots for me to realized the glock 19 was taking a second place when it came to fun factor. You should definitely give them a try.
I bought this pistol and liked it to start out. But I wish I would have went with the HK tactical 45. My FNP tac always has the mounting plate for the optic shift around when I shoot it, and the thread protector always starts coming off too. My FNP has less than 750 rds thru it. I would be willing to trade for a USP tac 45 in the same condition in an instant.
Start off by putting some lock tight on the bolts that hold the sight and the plate together. The thread protector on mine comes off too so I just take it off when I shoot and put it back on when I'm done. I see your Name is HKMan. Maybe you have buyers regreat and until you get that HK you won't be able to really appreciate the FN.
If you do get the HK please let me know how it compares after 750 rounds. Thanks.
You should have both eyes open with or without your RM05. The trijicon doesn't "give" you the ability to shoot both eyes open, you should already be able to do that with your regular sights.
I have lots of people say this to me, I can't get my head wrapped around the idea of shooting with deadly accuracy at a target beyond 15 yards with both eyes open I have tried trust me to fire my gun with both eyes open and try to acquire a sight picture and for me at lest is one very slow to focus with both eyes open and two very hard to hit were I intend with both eyes open.
Some pointers might help. Maybe a video demonstrating how to achieve this. Thanks.
If like you said its a wanna be, its doing a much better job at it than the HK did. I love the HK 45 Tactical but couldn't pass up the FN due to the many more features for the money. I didn't buy a brand, I bough function and I'm very happy with it.
will the slide for the tactical fit the non tactical fnp 45. i don't want the tac cause i will never get a suppressor. but i would like the red dot mount on the slide for range fun. it would be nice to be able to just change out the slide and go.

I'm pretty sure it will. Its based on he same gun. I just have no idea how much they would like to get paid for a bare slide. It might be a more economical way to go about it.
I held one at TacPro outside Fort Worth Texas yesterday and now I want it more than before. It was sold, however they were nice enough to let me check it out. The gun was black. I much prefer the natural tan/green look. I have a FNX 9 and it has same Basic design with ambidextrous mag release and safety/de cocker as you mentioned. Biggest reason I want the 45 is the wide frame for the optic mounting. Don't think the 9 is wide enough to accomplish this. I can get everything else like threads et
To tell you the truth I want to get me an FNX-9 just cause the controls are so much like the FNP-45 tactical just to keep the training cost down and it would be nice to have a little brother to the 45.
I'm glad you liked it cause it truly is a very nice and capable gun.
i dont think the shit is worth over a g, i have Holographic sights and thraded barrel made by lone wolf on my glock 20 10mm nd i cost me less then that gun.
If you ever shoot one set up the way mine is it would change your mind. what you say has some truth.
you can send your Glock slide to be machined for a red dot and install back up non night sight on it for about 250, a good threaded barrel for the 10mm will run you 120 from long wolf, You don't get a nice carry bag, and only two magazines, also you don't get a SA/DA gun with interchangeable back straps and with the said upgrades your at 950 on the Glock. THE FN IS WORTH IT.
A Trijicon RMR Dual-Illuminated optic is technically not a holographic sight or red dot optic, it's just a reflex optic. EoTechs use holographic films, that's why MW2 called it that instead of an EoTech. And I don't call it red dot either because the dots not red. It's definitely awesome to have a non battery operated because I'd hate to leave the optic off all day while carrying it concealed and have to draw the gun and turn the optic on while (in worst case scenario) have to draw my gun.
I gotta tell you, im also a 9 and 40 kind of guy too but when I saw the FN I had to have it. It is the closest Im ever going to get to a 45 combat pistol. I cant afford a wilson combat or ed brown so the FN fits that bill without braking the bank. It has performed extreamly well for me.
Have you had a chance to shoot it yet? and I highly recommend saving up for an optic like the RMR or Docter cause with the dot it becomes much more amazing. It still makes my jaws drop every time I go to the range and see how good I can shoot with this gun.
Yeah, I just shot it today at the range. I put 500 rounds through it breaking it in. I bought the RMR Red dot sight with it when I bought it, and that sight is just amazing. now If I could only afford a suppressor. HAHAHAHA
I believe the high rise sights are higher than normal in order to use them with a suppressor. Lower sights are useless when your sight picture includes a suppressor. I have the standard FNP .45 and like it very much. I wish the double action pull was lighter, that's it.
@zaldivarbigboy I'm with you, thats one of the most beautiful guns i've ever seen. I love FNH guns... some of the finest guns on the market. Good review. How much was it?
When it comes to the price I actually paid the "I gotta have this gun now" premium of 1200 bucks cause it was the only one in my county. I bough it when it first came out so at the time that was the going price even at gun broker. With the trijicon RMR I have something close to 1500 in this gun and I don't regret any of it.
@zaldivarbigboy Yeah, that a little high these days but I don't blame you one bit. I would pay that much for it too.. I just bought a Springfield MC Operator that was about the same price and I love it more than anything I own, but I almost wish I had this.. lol.
The main thing is buying something you like or it does not matter weather you pay 5-5000 it will not be worth it if you don't like and enjoy it. I bet that operator is one mean 1911.
@zaldivarbigboy Yeah, I agree... I bought a smith and wesson m&p 15 with an eotech and some other accessories before I got the 1911 and I regretted it. I finally got the 1911 and I was much happier than when I got the AR. Anyway, I did a review on my operator if you want to check it out, take care.
@zaldivarbigboy Yeah, i'll probably do a vid on my AK soon but my M&P is much nicer than the DPMS... it's just a stock carbine but i'll probably throw it in the video with the AK for good measure, lol. Thanks for checking my channel out.
Got mine in CA, gotta wait ten days though until I pick her up! Stupid laws out here, what good is a cool off period for a purchase of a gun when you have 20 other guns you're familiar with in your safe! lol oh well can't wait I love this gun!
Thanks for the comment. I know you will love it. First thing I would advice is to play around with the backstraps to find the one that gives you the most comfortable grip.
I guess it being in California its only going to have 3 10 round magazines right?
@zaldivarbigboy Yeah three ten round magazines and the threaded barrel is a no no, I have to get it machined off and or new barrel. the other thing in CA is this gun is not on the list, because FNH refuses to give them like $5K for each pistol and each config along with 5 guns to perform whats called a drop test?? Its a money making scam, in the mean time our choice of guns is minimal. I'm getting this one under a single shot exemption rule, take out the mag and put a block, then reverse it.
Man that saddens me but you actually having a love of guns and willing to put up with all the bureaucracy makes me happy again. Hopefully one day California will be like the rest of us free states. Just make sure you support all your gun rights groups in your area and state.
No contest. I retract my previous statement. if you want to you can. I only carry IWB and that was what i meant to be not the best choice for IWB carry. But it can definitely be carry OWB or in any other practical way you come up with. Fanny pack or "man purse" or what not.
Damn that looks nice. It has the decocker of my HK .45 USP and the slide catch of my Sig P229. Those optics are real nice. Good for you man. I like that a lot. Next time I'm down at the shop, I'm going hands on.
In a close quarters self defense situation say 3-7 yards you could shoot with both eyes open if you focus on the front sight only.
Pass 15 yards you can't go both eyes open and expect point of aim accuracy. That is were the RMR shines. It allows you to make clear and accurate shots while retaining a great field of view on targets that get progressively smaller at further distances or are at motion.
Para mi si valio la pena. El precio retail esta entre 1100-1200 y ahora en lugares como gun broker se pueden comprar por 950-1000.
A mi personalmente me gusta el look and feel the la FNP 45 Tactical tambien la compañia FN tiene buena reputacion en customer service so yo se que mi investment esta seguro mientras ellos esten around.
Lost controles de la pistola estan en el lugar correcto, tambien biene llena de opciones que otras compañias te hacen pagar un monton. Win Win situation.
That to me seems almost imposible and trust me I'm not blind. So help me and all those others that might be interested how exactly do you achive this task. Give me some pointers that I can follow next time I visit the range so that I can try to achive this 6" group at 25 yards with both eyes open. Also what kind of gun or more specifically what brand of sight are you doing this with
@zaldivarbigboy if you're not completely used to shooting with both eyes, you should start with your normal sight picture with one eye closed, and slowly open your other eye, key word is slowly. you have more depth perception and a larger field of view with both eyes open, and shooting at any distance even with a sight radius as small on a sub compact becomes as normal as shooting with one eye closed. i've been shooting both eyes open since i was a kid, trust me it isn't impossible.
All I can say is this. When I went to buy the FNP 45 Tactical I had enough cash to get a very nice 1911 or a Sig P220 Tactical or a HK Tactical bad I went for the FNP. If I had to do it all over again today I would still choose the FNP 45 Tactical For the Same reasons I choose it before.
Superb Magazine capacity, great value, super practical and great company with great reputation.
The KP 45 is supposed to be a copy of the HK USP Match. Not this gun. If you look up KP 45 and then do a search for HK USP Match you'll find the same weapon.
This is the FNP 45 Tactical. Its its own weapon and it made by FN Herstal and not HK.
It was suspended in 2006 so companies like FN that design weapons for such program were left with with a newly designed handgun for the military that it no longer has any interest on. Mostly cause the Army decided to opt out of the program and keep the current M9. The army being one of the biggest spenders kind of left the floor leaving very little profit to be made.
So we civilians get a firearm originally designed for SOCOM. How cool is that.
nice shout out to nutnfancy, love that guy and also ur shit is the shit i just bought the fnp today i believe the standard barrel is four and a quarter i paid 600 for mine
nice shout out to nutnfancy, love that guy and also ur shit is the shit i just bought the fnp today i believe the standard barrel is four and a quarter
Thanks for the comment. You have a few thing working for you cause you bought the standard FNP 45. If you call bowie tactical they can probably machine your slide to accept the different models of sight like the one on this gun or the burris. I know they do it for the Glocks and the M&P's.
I really hope that being were you are you can hopefully get a better price than what we can here in the US cause this is a really great gun but the entry price point is keeping a whole bunch of people simply hoping for one. Either way if you ever decide to go by the factory tell someone than you for a great gun. LOL.
Its made for the military to be used as a back up to the ACOG'so I bet they are pretty tough. I personally will never put it though enough hardship to test it properly but I bet Trijicon had a tough sight in mind when they design the RMR.
Older guns like the surplus Russian makarov or the cz52 had very primitive de-cockers and have been know due to excessive wear to be prone to discharge a round if you use the de-cocker.
Most modern weapons tho have added safeties such as rotating the firing pin out of the way as you de-cock de hammer to prevent any accidental discharge.... Its definitely safer than squeezing the trigger and riding the hammer.... If you finger slips you know for certain the gun is going off.
Also, most firearms (including this one I believe) will not drop the hammer all the way to the starting position. It will be slightly off the firing pin area.
Well the truth of the matter is that it does not recoil like a 9 cause if you had the same gun in a 9mm i would recoil less but the statement "it recoils like a 9mm" is used to imply that the gun with its wider and longer grip size allows you to wrap your hands around it better thus giving you better grip in turn making the felt recoil feel more like a full size 40 or mid size 9 compared to other 45ACP semi autos in the market. Hope that helped.
I just don't understand why you keep saying keep both eyes open, i mean who the fuck closes their eye(s) to acquire a target? point towards center mass and squeeze till empty, whats so difficult :)
Funny you ask. I was looking at the forums yesterday and for some reason it looked like the dark earth color ones are getting kind of hard to find. It seems like the black color one is taking over the market. The gun is still farely available but moslty in black.
I hope they make the dark earth a limited production....
@zaldivarbigboy great review man. Do you know how well this would fit a medium sized hand?, because 15 rounds of .45 it ALOT so i'd assume they'd take up alot of space.
Well I have medium size hands myself and I really don't see any problem with the way I can work the controls and manage recoil with this gun. I have a shooting review with some close up shots of the grip. Check it out so that you can get a good idea of how wide the grip is.
To me personally the grip is confortable and the controls are on the right place so I don't have a problem with the wide grip. The grip is also a bit tall they didn't just widen it to fit 15 45acp rounds in it.
Some people just don't like BIG MANLY GUNS. LOL. Probably its was some of those that have no idea how much it really cost to bring something like this to video with decent quality.
For those interested its something like this. First the price of the gun $ then the price of a decent camera and tripod $ and finally your personal time which for every minute of shooting video you have to spend at another 30 in processing or editing. either way I'm happy the saw it.
It does feel a bit squarish if you have mid to small hands and are using the smallest back strap which squares off the grip. The other tree back straps have more contour to them so it makes the grip feel more comfortable.
As far as the Slide Release goes its small, but I have not had any problems with mine. Its similar to a Glock in shape but it could use a bit more angle, I was thinking about bending it up just a tad bit to give it more surface area. By why fix what's not broken.
I still would not trade it even for an HK. There is way more to it than just the size, to me the FNP and the RMR make the perfect fighting handgun. And if you throw a Streamlight TRL1-s to the equation there is very little that can touch it. But that is my preference tho and I respect the preference of others.
Bottom line is if you don't like a gun you won't shot it, and in term won't have fun with it and guns are made to be shot and practice with. No sense in having a safe queen
Wow Wow Wow. You just started the hornet's nest. Can you go into detail how the FN Tactical is more appealing than the mark 23 or what features of the FN you like over the Mark 23. Everyone ask me which is better and really I never know what to say cause I've never had a Mark 23. Thanks in Advance for your response
@zaldivarbigboy Bottom line, the mark 23 is a fine pistol just wayyyy tooo big and bulky and less features than FNP tactical, I hear it serves two purposses is special ops, 1 an ofensive weapon, 2 a boat anchor!
I believe the high sights are to see over a suppressor can...the H&K USP Tactical has the same high sight configuration because it has a threaded barrel too.
Thank you for the review! You've definitely convince me - i think the FNP 45 Tactical is the best gun for the money, especially with the accessories that comes with it and for its intended use. Keep it up and expecting more great reviews.
Trust me man, you won't be disappointed on this gun. Its totally awesome. read my comment to scorpioncrow to get some good info on some high end and very well price optics to mount on the slide. I'm currently thinking of getting rid of some of my less liked guns and buy the silencerco Osprey 45 suppressor. I think its all this baby need to be the baddest thing on my inventory.
Actually if you go to cdnn investments. Com their new catalog has the trijicon docter sight wich is battery powered for only 229.99 and the now discontinued trijicon 7moa battery powered sight for only 189.99 only drawback is that its polymer. Still trijicon and the reviews on it are good. Those are some good alternatives.
That thing does look awesome. I was considering a 9mm fnp or m&p. But I think I want this now :) The raised sights is a nice touch for those who want to buy a can for it.
Its a bit more than the M&P but to me its well worth it. For some reason I personally like the way the fns looks. The new line of FNX guns have the same features of the FNP 45 Tactical, Maybe you can go that rout.
@bsdmon M&P is a better designed weapon. The FNP-45 tactical is a WELL designed tactical offensive pistol, but the standard FNP-9 underclass the the M&P 9
I know man. Nutn could not afford it so he talk PFIdude down by calling his super special gun a race gun. Well guess what I bet he would love to have one. Nutn is a very practical guy and this FNP 45 is a very practical gun. Check the shooting review out. its sweet.
You know I had a chance to buy one and the only things I saw it had on top of the fn were 1. That is was more ergonomic and a bit smaller (easier to conceal and carry) 2. That it was built on an alloy frame and not polymer. But the features it did not have made me choose the fn over it. One of those features was the optic mount on the slideand the other the 15 round capacity.
does it really come with all that stuff when u buy it new?

I bough it when it first came out so at the time that was the going price even at gun broker. With the trijicon RMR I have something close to 1500 in this gun and I don't regret any of it.
I truly like this this product that FN made.

@zaldivarbigboy Yeah, that a little high these days but I don't blame you one bit. I would pay that much for it too.. I just bought a Springfield MC Operator that was about the same price and I love it more than anything I own, but I almost wish I had this.. lol.

The main thing is buying something you like or it does not matter weather you pay 5-5000 it will not be worth it if you don't like and enjoy it. I bet that operator is one mean 1911.

@zaldivarbigboy Yeah, I agree... I bought a smith and wesson m&p 15 with an eotech and some other accessories before I got the 1911 and I regretted it. I finally got the 1911 and I was much happier than when I got the AR. Anyway, I did a review on my operator if you want to check it out, take care.

Thanks for the comment. I know you will love it. First thing I would advice is to play around with the backstraps to find the one that gives you the most comfortable grip.
I guess it being in California its only going to have 3 10 round magazines right?
zaldivarbigboy 6 months ago
@zaldivarbigboy Yeah three ten round magazines and the threaded barrel is a no no, I have to get it machined off and or new barrel. the other thing in CA is this gun is not on the list, because FNH refuses to give them like $5K for each pistol and each config along with 5 guns to perform whats called a drop test?? Its a money making scam, in the mean time our choice of guns is minimal. I'm getting this one under a single shot exemption rule, take out the mag and put a block, then reverse it.

brazilianEYEreportU 7 months ago
@brazilianEYEreportU
In a close quarters self defense situation say 3-7 yards you could shoot with both eyes open if you focus on the front sight only.
Pass 15 yards you can't go both eyes open and expect point of aim accuracy. That is were the RMR shines. It allows you to make clear and accurate shots while retaining a great field of view on targets that get progressively smaller at further distances or are at motion.

@zaldivarbigboy one can easily get 6" groups shooting at 25 yards with both eyes open, unless you're blind.
brazilianEYEreportU 7 months ago
@brazilianEYEreportU
That to me seems almost imposible and trust me I'm not blind. So help me and all those others that might be interested how exactly do you achive this task. Give me some pointers that I can follow next time I visit the range so that I can try to achive this 6" group at 25 yards with both eyes open. Also what kind of gun or more specifically what brand of sight are you doing this with
zaldivarbigboy 7 months ago
@zaldivarbigboy if you're not completely used to shooting with both eyes, you should start with your normal sight picture with one eye closed, and slowly open your other eye, key word is slowly. you have more depth perception and a larger field of view with both eyes open, and shooting at any distance even with a sight radius as small on a sub compact becomes as normal as shooting with one eye closed. i've been shooting both eyes open since i was a kid, trust me it isn't impossible.

It was suspended in 2006 so companies like FN that design weapons for such program were left with with a newly designed handgun for the military that it no longer has any interest on. Mostly cause the Army decided to opt out of the program and keep the current M9. The army being one of the biggest spenders kind of left the floor leaving very little profit to be made.
So we civilians get a firearm originally designed for SOCOM. How cool is that.

Haven't used a de-cocker before, has there been accidents with them? And just as a added precaution, can you ride the hammer with your thumb?
juki009 9 months ago
@juki009
Older guns like the surplus Russian makarov or the cz52 had very primitive de-cockers and have been know due to excessive wear to be prone to discharge a round if you use the de-cocker.
Most modern weapons tho have added safeties such as rotating the firing pin out of the way as you de-cock de hammer to prevent any accidental discharge.... Its definitely safer than squeezing the trigger and riding the hammer.... If you finger slips you know for certain the gun is going off.
zaldivarbigboy 9 months ago
@zaldivarbigboy
Also, most firearms (including this one I believe) will not drop the hammer all the way to the starting position. It will be slightly off the firing pin area.

Is it true that the recoil feels like a 9mm?
checchia 9 months ago
@checchia
Well the truth of the matter is that it does not recoil like a 9 cause if you had the same gun in a 9mm i would recoil less but the statement "it recoils like a 9mm" is used to imply that the gun with its wider and longer grip size allows you to wrap your hands around it better thus giving you better grip in turn making the felt recoil feel more like a full size 40 or mid size 9 compared to other 45ACP semi autos in the market. Hope that helped.

Well I have medium size hands myself and I really don't see any problem with the way I can work the controls and manage recoil with this gun. I have a shooting review with some close up shots of the grip. Check it out so that you can get a good idea of how wide the grip is.
To me personally the grip is confortable and the controls are on the right place so I don't have a problem with the wide grip. The grip is also a bit tall they didn't just widen it to fit 15 45acp rounds in it.

hamieabn 10 months ago
@hamieabn
It does feel a bit squarish if you have mid to small hands and are using the smallest back strap which squares off the grip. The other tree back straps have more contour to them so it makes the grip feel more comfortable.
As far as the Slide Release goes its small, but I have not had any problems with mine. Its similar to a Glock in shape but it could use a bit more angle, I was thinking about bending it up just a tad bit to give it more surface area. By why fix what's not broken.
zaldivarbigboy 10 months ago
@hamieabn
I still would not trade it even for an HK. There is way more to it than just the size, to me the FNP and the RMR make the perfect fighting handgun. And if you throw a Streamlight TRL1-s to the equation there is very little that can touch it. But that is my preference tho and I respect the preference of others.
Bottom line is if you don't like a gun you won't shot it, and in term won't have fun with it and guns are made to be shot and practice with. No sense in having a safe queen
