No, the 45 is only available in the FNX family.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - BelieveIn308 - 09-20-2014
Well, maybe they will come out with one. Although I would say that FNX-45 tactical is probably the best S/D action trigger I very felt. And just when I thought I had reduced my gun want list down to 1 or 2.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - Ringo3632 - 09-21-2014
Thanks to you 308 now I've expanded mine to wanting the .308 on top of the other 5 that I want... Haha but my collection is still small.. Growing steadily though!
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - BelieveIn308 - 09-21-2014
My want list is the Mossberg 500 Marine version, the Ruger Sp100 .357 magnum (my first revolver), and maybe an AK (Century C39 version?)... And maybe that FNS-45 tactical if they ever make one. Can you really have enough .45ACP pistols? And maybe a Ruger .45 Colt of some flavor...
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - Ringo3632 - 09-21-2014
Haha my list is surprisingly similar. I opted for the Mossberg 535 although I was looking at the mariner version... And my first revolver I've wanted the ruger gp100 in black, and I'm working on an AR before an ak, however I do want one down the road. And there's no such thing as too many 45ACP pistols. I want a 9mm for some variety, but one will suffice for now.
And I like my striker fired XDs, any particular reason you like the fns over the fnx? Just the trigger pull, or the hammer?
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - BelieveIn308 - 09-21-2014
I find I like the Striker fired guns a lot over D/S action. The triggers are way better. Now for some reason the triggers on 1911's are always crisp. It is why I don't have any revolvers yet. My budget usually allows for 1 gun every 6 months or so. Although in the last year I have overdone it. I might have to give the Ak priority over the other wants, as politics will surface in 2016. I have numerous other firearms. If a great 1903 Springfield bolt showed up, I'd might have to consider that too. Then there is always a M1A... Decisions, decisions.
I have the shotgun class lined up in October. I'll see how that goes. Maybe the Mossberg will have priority.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - Ringo3632 - 09-21-2014
I just paid in full for the shotgun class as well. So I'll see you there! Haha but Steve New said that he brings a bunch of different models and set ups for everybody to try. And you have a good point about trying to get the ak soon...
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - RJDSRT - 09-25-2014
Max and I are trying to get in on the shotgun class coming up also, Ringo. (If the boss man gives us the "go ahead")
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - mikereddot - 03-27-2015
The actual Glock company pissed me off, so we sold the G17 we had in class and we are replacing with an FNS-9. I may consider getting the FNX-9 also.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - British Gunner - 06-07-2015
As a new shooter I went with the FNS9. Love the feel in my hand, and even as a complete newbie my groupings are not bad. Just decided to change the backstrap and that made things even better.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - BelieveIn308 - 06-07-2015
I have come to love the FNS9. The more you handle it, the more you appreciate the ergonomics of it. Plus I love the aggressive grips. It has never jamed or had any feed issues no matter what ammo I have fired through it. Very reliable sidearm. Accurate, and came with 3 magazines. As I get more accurate with it, I am glad I didn't buy the Glock.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - British Gunner - 06-07-2015
For those with an FNS9, what holsters and magazine holders do you like? When I got my FNS9 I got a free Safariland holster from FNH, so hey free you can't complain too much. But what have other people tried and purchased?
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - BelieveIn308 - 06-07-2015
I use mine as a concealed carry gun. I have Kydex from T. Rex inside the pant holster for the FNS9. I'm happy with it.

RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - Fireman - 06-07-2015
I have a Hidden Hybrid. It is a nice holster and is both and inside and outside the waistband. Either remove the clips or add them back on. Two holsters in one.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - British Gunner - 06-24-2015
Any of you FNS shooters ever replaced the factory sights? If you have, what have you used?
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - BelieveIn308 - 07-07-2015
I have not seen the need to replace the factory sights. Every single person I know that has purchased a Glock routinely replaces the factory sights. I find them OK for target shooting, and feel the factory sights are fine. I know some people really prefer night sights. I have found most pistols come with decent enough sights (I even think the U sights on a Glock are OK). The one gun platform that I love, that comes with awful factory sights is the Ruger 10/22. I have a scoped one, and now another with TSR200 GI peep sights which are a HUGE, HUGE improvement over the crap the Ruger factory puts on the rifles. After one outing with them to McMiller, I am endorsing these. Not cheap, but worth every damn penny. With these sights, I feel the rifle doesn't need to be scoped.
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - mikereddot - 07-07-2015
we are selling a ton of True Glow sights, and we've not heard any negative feedback.

Nice to know RDA is gung-ho over the FNS9. What do you guys have in terms of magazine holders?
RE: FNS 9 The only 9! - mikereddot - 07-08-2015
We have a bunch of Tagua mag holders. They are nice.
