If I am not mistaken it is a typo, it is meant to be FNX-9 MS BK/BK-FT-S black on black, the one you list is a stainless slide on black frame.
That would make sense, yeah.

yes I dig the HK45. sold the compact model but kept the full size. my only issue was my trigger finger would occasionally engage the mag release on L side of the pistol. this occurred while firing. the mag would drop. i thought at first it was a defective mag retention but it was my fat finger. i installed the larger backstrap to increase the grip size and the issue disappeared.
Do you find the grip to be flexible? I'm looking into buying an FNX series pistol but am worried that the grip will be to flexible. I've read a lot on the FN forums but those posts were about a year old, and was wondering if they've made the polymer harder recently.
Huh.....I mean....didn't seem squishy to me, though I wasn't really looking out for that! Seemed like any other poly framed gun, though this is the first poly pistol I've actually owned so maybe I'm not as sensitive.

Hooray for poor decision making! Also hooray for the Gun parlor...was my first time there and I had an excellent experience. They replaced all 3 of the standard capacity mags with 10rd MA cripplemags which was nice...well...in context it was nice. Had planned on Black but I'm kind of glad they only had the dark earth in stock...something different from every other gun I own. There's a special on to get a free rail mounted light from Streamlight, which makes nice stuff. I gotta file for that right away.
My next challenge is to find an OWB holster. Leaning towards the Alien Gear Cloak Side OWB. Looks nice and has the advantage of being extremely cheap, which is a requirement since the likelihood of me carrying this enormous thing anywhere but the range is pretty much nil.
Took it to the range yesterday and shot...horribly. Haha. Gotta get some .45 snap caps to practice with and to mix in to the mag to demonstrate how badly I am flinching (everything was low). Despite my terrible results the recoil was not bad at all.
Someday, hopefully sooner than later, I will live in NH. First order of business will be to get a can and real magazines.

You should read this, it's a great zombie series, and the protagonist at one point in book 1 or 2 finds an FX-45 and starts carrying it. Can't remember if he had a can.Hooray for poor decision making! Also hooray for the Gun parlor...was my first time there and I had an excellent experience.

There's a youtube video where a guy takes an FNX and leaves it in the sun for a few minutes and the magwell ends up being wicked flexible to the point where it feels like it changed the way the gun works. Supposedly he sent his gun back and got a new one and it is much more rigid than the old one.
If that's the case, how did it pass Mass Compliance testing, isn't a temperature resistance test part of the criteria ???

Nice! Do you plan to put a red dot on it? I have an RMR on mine and love it. Perfectly co-witnesses with the iron sights. I keep meaning to get a suppressor for mine but when the funds are available, I always end up with a new gun instead!
That's a beauty! Is that the tactical? I bought a standard FNX-45 on Saturday and it comes in a hard case. I'm in what seems like the now mandatory 3-day waiting period. I pick it up on Thursday when my delay wait ends.I just picked one up today. Steve at MFS gave me a deal too good to pass up.

Nice! Yes mine is the tactical. Just need to save up for a rmr now. And for the people wondering about flexing magwells, mine is just as stiff as my gen4 g19.That's a beauty! Is that the tactical?
