That’s reassuring! I often shoot in varied environments. Does it manage recoil well as well?
Definitely! The FNX absorbs recoil much better, almost feels like a softer shot overall. The FNP can feel like a cannon after a few rounds.
I love the idea of a softer shot! Any thoughts on trigger pull? I’ve heard mixed reviews.
The FNX trigger pull feels smoother for sure, but some say the FNP has a crisper break. I guess it’s all about personal preference in the end.
That makes sense. I prefer a smoother pull for target shooting. Are both guns good for home defense?
Without a doubt! Both are great for home defense. The FNX’s reliability in stressful situations gives it a slight edge for me. Plus, the capacity is excellent.
Great point! I noticed the FNX has a lot more aftermarket support too. Always a plus!
Exactly, and the FNX has great modification options! You can really customize it for your needs and shooting style.
I’ve had both the FNP and FNX 45, and I can say that the FNX has more durable materials. The finish holds up better compared to the FNP, even after regular use.
That’s interesting! How do you find the cleaning process for both? I’ve heard the FNX is easier.
Cleaning the FNX is definitely easier, especially with the removable backstrap. The FNP doesn’t clean as easily because of the fixed things.
True, but I also feel like the FNP can take a little more wear and tear. It feels rugged!
Rugged or not, you’ll find the FNX has superior longevity. I haven’t had any issues after years of shooting with mine!
For me, the FNX’s features just make it more user-friendly overall. Anyone else feel like the added durability is worth the price?
Absolutely! Reliable durability can save money in the long run with fewer repairs.
I feel like durability is subjective. Some people treat their firearms like collectibles, so wear might not be a big issue for them.
It’s definitely a factor! But can we assume FNX’s cleaning ease translates to lesser maintenance issues? That would be a big plus.
If that’s the case, the FNX would win for me! Maintenance is crucial for longer life.
I’ve read about people being passionate about either model… it’s like a family feuding over their favorites! Which one survives longer is still debatable!
Haha, very true! I think both models have their merits; it’s all about personal preference.
