Does it have any match grade components like the USP 45 Tactical has? I'm going back and forth between these two guns.

@a2birdcage

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.

They have a lot of FNP's At My Gun Store In Arizona I havent seen any 9mm Though i like FNP guns Ima have to switch form glocks to fnp

@trinidadfromaz

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.

@HKmanlp1

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.

Wait....Thats an od green handle?

[shakaarawak]

Great Video and GREAT gun!  I'm going to do some research on it. By the way, how much does it weigh? Keep up the good work.

@OKPatriot92

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.

[OKPatriot92]

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.
