Even in Columbia they won't give you the same deals that are on the website. At least they wouldn't for me on a 1911 I wanted.

I don't have all the necessary tools to build assemble an upper, so I will be looking for a complete upper. I'm not really interested in having to also buy all the needed tools right off the bat here. I'm moving this weekend and just refit a boat, so I'm in recovery mode for the bank account...

It only took me nine months to get started, but there's a start now. Picked up a PSA stripped lower at the Mt. Pleasant store today. May have mentioned already that I wasn't in a hurry, and still not, so this may still progress pretty slowly.

New FNX-9 with a Hogue slip on grip, in a $15 Allen belt slide IWB combo while I wait on an Alien Gear.

I have fired 625 rounds through my new FNX-9 and now consider it "broken in" and worthy of carrying it on my side. Did it need 600+ rounds of break in? Probably not. But I now have 100% confidence in the gun. I had 1 FTF within the first 10 rounds. I had a lot of problem with the slide not...

Time to update after going back to the range yesterday. My confidence in this gun is now very high. Total round count: 625 rounds Yesterday: 300 rounds 200 rounds PMC 115 grain 100 rounds Remington UMC 147 grain Zero FTF, FTE, etc. Started out with major problems with the slide not locking...

I'll be at Beaver Dam this weekend breaking in the new FNX-9

New pistol - FNX-9 Cleaned, changed the backstrap, loaded down the mags, and left the slide locked open to help start loosening things up a little. Made a trip to Cabela's to get a mag loader and 250 more rounds. Things look to be shaping up for a fun weekend!

I sold a G26 and a Tisas 1911 in order to look for a new gun and hopefully pocket a little extra. Never really considered one before, but stumbled on a FNS-9 and fell in love with the feel. That got me looking at the other FN handguns. Now just less than a week later after selling mine, a new...

Well, I'm no longer looking. Went to look at PSA today chasing a 'sale' on a different gun I saw online. Long story short, I brought home a new two-tone FNX-9. :D

Thanks for the re-affirmation on the choice! I really want the 45, but just a little hesitant on the size/bulk difference for the rest of the gun. A good 4" 1911 is still in the cards though :mrgreen: , and a lot easier to find than the FNX-45. I confess, I do love a 1911. I also see a place...

I'm looking to buy one of three FN pistols. FNS-9 FNX-9 FNX-45 I'm in North Augusta. Let me know what you have and how much you're looking to get for it.

same here. will be 26 in Sept.

I'm the same way. Although I know it's concealed well, I feel like everyone around me knows it's there. It's for sure a different mindset for me. When I have it on me I'm much more aware of my surroundings. I chalk that up as a good thing.
