This past summer, I got a hankering for a new pistol. I have been rediscovering my love the the .45 ACP in the past year, so I started looking around. I quickly fixed my sights on the FNX-45 Tactical. So cool , so sexy. 15+1 capacity, milled for red dot, threaded barrel, suppressor height sights. What's not to love?
The $1200 price tag. That's what not to love. My desire faded into reality. I have a perfectly good Glock 21SF that is pretty much stock, sitting in my stable. Maybe I could love the one I was already with and trick out my G21SF to emulate the FNX-45T.
So...I set off on the path. Purchased a Zev drop in trigger, a Lone Wolf Threaded Barrel, Trijicon Suppressor Height Night Sights, TLR-3 pistol light, Talon Grip granulated stick-on grips, +2 base pads. Still not enough.
Dropped the slide off to Zach at ZRTS. He did a slide modification...slide cuts, front serrations, milled it for a RMR and did a sick battle-worn cerekote job. I finally got it all back and installed. BAM. My wanna be FNX-45 Tactical. I had scratched my itch.
But then...a funny thing happened. The FNX-45 T still had my eye. Could not shake it. Kept looking...but but but...I had a tricked out G21SF that was just as good!
But as the year ended and I had a bit of extra cash to by myself something nice for the holidays....
I couldn't resist....damn you gunbroker.com
So....love the one your with. Or not...
