It was a wet day today which gave me a good chance to shoot my new FNP-45... wet. With my freshly upgraded Gemtech Blackside it worked great. Bullet impact into the ground is much louder than the pistol. Gemtech upgraded the silencer by adding a booster and interchangeable mounts. I can quickly change mounts from the HK (a weird left hand threaded mount) to the FNP (a standard right hand threaded mount) without tools in seconds. The booster makes the gun cycle reliably and also makes it noticeably quieter since it essentially adds an extra baffle.
So about cheating on that HK... the FNP is definitely not on the same quality level as the HK. It's ALMOST an HK but not quite. If you look at the picture you can see it just doesn't fit together as smoothly. There are lots of weird little things when you pull the trigger on the FNP, especially when you first disengage the safety you can feel a distinct click as you start to press but before you reach the breaking point. On the HK, the trigger is smooth and silent until it breaks. I don't particularly like the color, however the few normal people I have shown it to instantly commented on how cool the color was. Oh well. Who needs another black pistol?
Anyway, I have 15+1 rounds in a package not much bigger than my 8+1 USP. I can also add a red dot easily with the already milled slide. Add a light and we have a pretty serious bedside gun.
