High capicity .45

[LPS]

Ive been looking at getting another .45 mainly for targets and to have as a backup while hunting. Ive narrowed it down to 3 that I think would work as Im wanting high capacity.
1. Glock g41
2. FNX .45 (not tactical although I want one)
3. Springfield XDM 5.25 or the 4.5

Im trying to keep the price below $1000 so that's why the HK is not in there and I found the FNX for $739 on the web. So what is yalls input on these guns Im going to try and look at them sometime this week and see which one feel better in my hands but would like a honest comparison of them first. Im not ruling out other brands these are just the ones that appealed to me so if you have another one to offer please post it up.

FNX 45 gets my vote. If the glock was as thin as the FN, that would change my mind. Springfield gets a thumb down from me because of its design. Why would you be able to put the pistol together with certain parts installed backwards is beyond me.

Fnx.... 15rnds + 1 of .45

Isn't the FN45 about a quarter of an inch thicker than the Gen 4 21? I seem to remember my FN being thicker than my 3rd gen 21SF

That's the one I was leaning to I have the FN 5.7 already and love it but I was just wondering how the others stacked up against it

 

[Jack]

I preferred my glock over the FN, it was a LOT more reliable. The FN will most likely have feeding issues with FMJ, especially Winchester white box.

Never had an issue with any ammo including wwb

What about Sig 227?

 

[dtd80]

Seems like you had the right order....

 

[noob]

I have a FNP tactical, with ZERO issues with any ammo I've used (federal, WWB, Aguila, remington, reloads) either suppressed or unsuppressed... You can find an FNX for 999 when it's on sale.

Sig 227 and Para 14.45 are great options. The New Para's are nice an tight, have a $100 rebate going on right now and have a lifetime warranty. The FNX tactical is also pretty cool, I like how the Sig feels better in MY hands, but you might like the FNX better.

The G41 sounds like a perfect fit for the intended use.

 

[Hermit]

I love my G21, so I vote for the G41.

 

[jvr]

g41 but if it was for back up hunting g20. 10mm round is impressive. imo it is hard to beat a glock. (except they have never been pretty)

 

[MrNiceGuy]

+1 for fnx 45. Never had one malfunction and I have shot some cheap ammo through it.

They may have fixed it, but even FN admitted it was a problem. They blamed it on cheap FMJ rounds being made too long and getting stuck in the magazines. It was the exact issue I was having with mine.

Thanks for all the responses now y'all really have me thinking ima have to really look at the glock an the FNX I'll check out the sig while I'm at it I've just never really been a sig fan of course the only pistol I've shot of there's is the mosquito an it felt like it was going to fall apart in my hands. Also where would you be able to look at the para I've never seen one on the shelf but I've never really looked either.
