FNX 45 vs Glock 21

[Jaydubz2014]

So the FNX 45 has 15+1, about 800 dollar price tag i believe. and the glock 21 is 13+1 for aout 550 dollars, if u had the money, which one would YOU of bought? I went with the fnx 45, did i make the wrong decision? pros and cons?

Fnx is the route I went too with the biggest con being lack of aftermarket parts and price/availability of spare mags
I have no regrets but if you hate safeties then you may. Or like this gun
If you paid $800 then you paid too much as they can be had readily for ~$640

I got the tactical version

I have the FNP-45 which is similar. I like it a lot. But nobody makes adj. sights for it. One thing I found out my mags won't feed Win. white box. FN even replaced my 14 rd mags for 15 rd still won't feed.

I have the FNX-45 Tactical and a Glock 22. I like the FNX-45 and never had any feeding issues with it (not sure if I ever tried Win White Box) but I feed all kinds of ammo through it at the rental range without issues. It's a well made gun and I like how it feels when I fire it (except for that grip), it's a remarkable well engineered design, I think you made a great choice.

Because of our business, I have a range of choices for my bedside handgun and there's a Glock 22 sitting there on my side and a Glock 17 on her side... why Glock, because I feel 100% of the time when I pull that trigger on a Glock, it's going to go BANG, but I would feel perfectly comfortable having that FNX-45 sitting there too, just the Glock 22 has a flashlight on it.

I'm trying to think of any failure or jam I have had in 2 years with the FNX 45 and can't think of one. It did have to go back to FN for a known fault on earlier ones of the magazine release spring. It seems to eat all jacketed ammo and my belief is that it is inherently more accurate than the Glock.

[gummy jones]

yea ive never had a "jam" either

I love the tactical version of the FNX-45 I recently purchased. Great gun, very accurate. The only failures I've seen came from light handloads. Eats all factory stuff up.

[wellcraft]

in my opinion the FNX tactical is a superior weapon compared to the glock. i have the earlier version of the tactical and at 25 yards I can put 4-6 rounds inside a 2" stick on red dot with another 3-4 rounds inside the 10 ring. the FNX tactical's in my area all sell for close to 1200 bucks but I got lucky several years ago and bought one for a little less than 900 when Tanners had a sale.

I bought a Police trade-in Glock 21 for $329. Given the delta between $329 and $800, I'd still but the Glock.

Aw, who am I kidding. I'd buy both.
