FNP 45 Tactical with Docter Red Dot Sight

 

The FN FNP tactical 45 comes with a slide machined ready to accept a red dot optic. Additionally there is a factory version of this model that ships with the red dot optic installed. The purpose of this post is for me to select the correct red dot sight for my pistol.

There are several different options available some are better suited than others to be installed on this pistol. It’s worth noting that FN ships this pistol with a docter optic Red dot sight. while I investigate my options I would also like feedback from visitors of this website. If you have any experience with a red dot sight on the FN FNP tactical 45 I would love to hear about it.

 

I will update this page as my search progresses.

FNP-45 TACTICAL PREMATURE SLIDE RELEASE

So I headed off to Blue Trail Range in Wallingford Connecticut last Friday to put a few new weapons through their paces. First up was the FNP 45 TACTICAL and a surprise. Upon inserting a loaded  to capacity  magazine the slide closed by itself chambering a round. To say I was caught off guard was an understatement. Initially I thought that maybe somehow I managed to hit the slide stop but further shooting revealed it was repeatable for four out of five magazines. After I got used to this action I joked to myself that this would be a slick feature in combat situations. I continued shooting and havng a great experience the the FNP 45 TACTICAL.

Later when I was home I decided to see if I missed something in the operators manual. After browsing cover to cover a few times I didnt fimd anything unsual or any cautionary notes on the slide release and magazine changes. I next decided to search Google. Low and behold this seems to be a common comment about all of the FN FNP series of handguns. Some comments state it is in the design. Others state it’s from inserting magazines with too much force.  My personal experience is that I inserted the magazine gently butt had to give it a smack to lock in place when the magazine was loaded to capacity. Furthermore I am unable to recreate the action with an empty magazine regardless of the force used.

If anyone knows the facts on this subject please drop me a line by commenting here.

FNH FNP 45 TACTICAL in BLACK PICTURES

I picked up my black FNH FNP 45 TACTICAL yesterday. Dont see many of these in black. Most are FDE or Flat Dark Earth. The pistol came with this nice case and three magazine. My initial impressions are very favorable.  I am hoping to get out shooting Friday. Will report back with a full review soon.

FN FNP 45 TACTICAL – Ordered One Today

Over the past several weeks I began the process to purchase an Advanced Armament (AAC) Ti-RANT 45 SOUND SUPPRESSOR. I dont currently own a .45acp with a threaded barrel so I decided it was time to change that status. Originally i set out to get either an HK 45 or SIG SAUER P220 COMBAT TB. Then a good friend mentioned the FN FNP 45 TACTICAL. After a little bit of research it turned out that his advice was spot on. Today I placed the order.
