I added an RMR to mine. I've put a lot of rounds through it. I've only had issues with some off-brand "gun-show-special" ammo that turned out to be very-very soft. Zero problems with decent ammo. Just need to get around to getting a suppressor for it.
I’m in California, so getting one will be problematic, even for the non tactical version. But everything I’ve seen on it, this review included, motivates me to keep looking for a way to get my hands on one
After watching this, I did a research and learned FN made this in 9mm as well. So naturally I had to have one. I called around to my local gun shops and no one had one or had seen one in a while. Come to fund out FN stopped making them a while ago and now I have a white whale of a gun I am searching for. Great Video!
Nice handgun I contemplated getting one of those recently. But they were out of stock. I like the idea of it being double action plus having a safety and threaded barrel. Your review makes me want one all over again. 😁👍
This was my first DA/SA gun. It has made me a far better shooter across all my different pistols. I carried an M&P for work and have always loved them. Since learning how to shoot a DA/SA correctly I have since left my striker guns in the safe and find myself using this gun and my 92FS more often. Highly recommend getting one, training with it and you will be very surprised
Just got one, I’m a big fella, so I figured it was able too be carried, concealed. If you’ve done it that long, it’s obviously practical too do so. Thanks.
Very good video! You’re the only content provider on the weapon that actually lists all the specs! Thank you for helping me with my research and learning! Great video! Keep it up!
Got to standard in black. Love it. Absolutely go to war pistol. Great for hiking or camping. Stainless steel with corrosion resistant finish and polymer frame so it is impervious to weather, salt, snow, sweat. 15 round capacity. The safety system has decoder or cocked and locked feature. You can even lock it on safe with hammer down. The safety does not lock the slide so you can rack the slide to load or unload on safe.
You beat me to the fnx45! I am planning to do a video on the fde version of this baby next weekend. I surely can't shoot mine as well as you shoot this one😉 Nice video Buffalo!!!
I own the FNX 45 and love it. Kinda wish I bought the Tatical , I had the money at the time in my hand...was being a cheap skate...I have the USP 45 as well
@@buffalosoutdoors its a hard toss up , honestly I love my FNX , but the HK shoots a tad better I wouldn't part with either im a tad bias for HKs I own 4 USPs
another wonderful honest video I appreciate. i can’t decide which iam impressed with the most. the pistol or the one behind it . you two make a wonderful couple. i really love the taller sights. iam up in age, health issues, even my hands. some of my semi autos are extremely hard to work the slides. those tall sights are a trick. no problem shooting my revolvers . a few days ago I was sighting in shotguns for slugs. the federal 12 ga 3 inch hi shok 1 oz hurt me pretty good, the 2 3/4 not as bad . the 1 -3/4 Aguilar slugs not bad. i shot them through a scrap peace of treated 4 x 4 at I think 15 yards. I’ll test a little more and see if I shoot through a 1 inch hard wood board . back in the center fire black powder cartridge days the military would place hard wood boards at different distances and when it wouldn’t penetrate a 1 - 1/4 inch board that was the cutting off point. if it shot through the board it would easily kill the enemy. they did I know do farm animal testing and I was to they even tested to see how it would kill a government mule with same ammunition. how true about the mule tests I don’t know. but they for a fact did test on animals for several years. Nana and papa wishing you well.
Great way to shoot $100 worth of 45acp in a short time. 👍 Little easier than disassembling a Ruger MK III & putting it back together. Lol. Price isn't that high for the quality & accessories that come with it. Good shooting as always.
@@jimmieburleigh9549 i have had my fnx 45 tac for over 3 years and put at least 5k rounds of just about everything including 1k of blazer and 1k of tula . other than the occasional fail to fire from the tula the fnx didnt seem to care
You shoot yours a lot better than I shoot mine! I got a FDE FN-FNX45 Tactical for my birthday present from my wife this past March. Then I used my next bonus check to pick up the Coyote Brown Trijicon RMR HRS Type 2 to top it off. I absolutely love it. The only thing I don't like is the grip texture, so I added a FDE Talon rubber textured grip tape to it and it really didn't add anything to the size of the grip, but it is perfect for me now. I posted a pic on Buffalo's Facebook page.
Excellent review. And you have picked up a new subscriber. Your .45 tacticool is a bit naked however. Get a good RMR and light then she will be ready . I went with the Olight Baldr pro and a Swampfox Kingslayer. On my other .45 tactical I have a Holosun. Both of these work well. The Trijicon RMR is okay as well but quite personally I do not prefer it over the Holosun and I definitely do not like the price when compared to the Kingslayer. I own a ton of firearms but I can quite easily say this sidearm is big. Not uncomfortable but I won't be purchasing a inside the waistband for it either. One thing I would suggest getting if you do not already have one is the Maglula loader which saves a bit on time and wear on the fingertips. The SilencerCo Osprey 45 is the best suppressor I have found for this particular sidearm. And a happy belated turkey day and holiday season!
@@buffalosoutdoors I was joking. I have the fnx 40. I bought it new for like 279. Bought a bunch of complaint mags for 9.99 each,new. But I want both the fnx 9 and the 45 now. But part of the fun to me is the fn gun. Like you want to say the cuss word but instead you say fn...lol.
Nice! I’m a .45 guy myself. I’m also finding ammo that isn’t too badly priced. In my area anyhow. Hell, I’m finding it for about the same as 9mm and Blazer aluminum case for even cheaper. I’d rather that than steel cased Tula any day!
As cool as that is, I think I will just stick with my 21 for .45 ACP. Especially considering I could buy 2 21s & have money left over for ammo for the cost of one of these. I've gotten so used to striker fired handguns with a low bore axis.
I found your channel a couple of years ago and binge watched a bunch of videos then you vanished from my recommended lol. You randomly came back up the other day so I made sure to hit that bell. Good stuff as always 👍👊
The difference from a 9mm and 45ACP is quite noticeable in the recoil department. Magazines full of 230gr ball ammo are a tad bit heavier too. You can tell pretty easy if someone shooting light loads in a 45. The sight picture with those sights should be nice to use. The DA Trigger pull is pretty impressive too. The only scary thing about this gun is that little tag hanging off the pistol at the gun store. It gave me sticker shock. 🎇😱🎇
it is an incredible handgun , suppresses very well, extremely accurate ( 100 yards on 2/3 ipsc is not a problem in the right hands ) AND 15 FREAKING ROUNDS OF 45 ACP HATE !
My goal is to have a do all/winter carry, a summer carry and a home defense - and a backup for each. I'm considering a FNX 45 for my backup home defense but may go P30L or P226 instead. My current home defense is a 5" Walther PDP. Thanks for the video
@@buffalosoutdoors it holds up pretty well with kydex holster and year round hunting in FL . I am surprised how well actually. climbing tree stands, crossing bogs, constant in an out of holster. But still not as good as all black . I shouldn’t complain .
Great video, just bought one last weekend in fde, put a surefire x-300u on it. Next overtime check I’ll put the trijicon rmr in sand/fde on it. Such an awesome firearm. Kinda crappy it only comes with 2 magazines now for $1299, cabelas had it for $1199.99 .
Out of all who have videos on this firearm, I believe you shot it the best!
Thank you
The FNX 45-T is my all time favorite.
It's an awesome piece for sure!

Open carry, I assume
They are great!

What holster?
If don’t mind me asking, what’s you carry setup?
My favorite gun.
Very good video! You’re the only content provider on the weapon that actually lists all the specs! Thank you for helping me with my research and learning! Great video! Keep it up!
I loved mine. I had it set up to run 45 supers before there was a 460 Rowland conversion kit available for it.
NICE!
Are there any modifications needed to run supers, or is it more or less "up to snuff" like the HK USP?
That lock compartment in the case makes a good spot for a suppressor
I reckon it would wouldn't it. I never even thought about since I don't have one. Thanks!
That's a handsome, accurate pistol that right out of the box seems very reliable. Many thanks to your friend Steve for sharing.
Thanks for watching all the way through. I appreciate the comment too!
I like it. Thanks Steve for letting Buffalo show it off.
I'll bring it back on once he gets all his doo dads and gizmos mounted on it!
That’s a great 45 suppressor host. Thanks for the video, buddy.
It sure is!
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks Buffalo!!
Thank you for watching man!
My FDE FN-FNX45 Tactical came with 3 magazines, 1 in the pistol and 2 in the soft case
I have the fn 509 tactical 9mm, and it’s an amazing piece. I’d love to grab a 45 version like that one. Great guns.
Looks like a winner to me. Merry Chridtmas.
Awesome pistol I been wanting to add one to my collection for the longest time 👍🏻👍🏻
It sure is nice. SHooting this one got me to wanting one pretty bad now!
Been a while for me buffalo. Always nice to see you and your truly a southern gentleman
Thanks for that, much appreciated!
Badass video
Love mine. Very accurate. Feeds everything.
Pre-Covid, I got the FNX-40 - because it was $400 cheaper than the .45. Maybe someday.
Yeah that's pretty big price difference!

It’s perfect after the 460 Roland conversion!
Now that's a nice addition to the "extended" Buffalo stable right there.
Love the FNX 45
That bad boy reminds me of the CZ P09, but in .45 🤔🤯
Hmmmm I can see a resemblence! Thanks for watching! I always appreciate ya!
Another great vid thanks Buffalo ;)
