This past Wednesday I got around to firing my brand new FNP-45. The gun was cleaned and then lubed with Breakfree prior to firing.
100rnds of WWB 230gr. JHP was purchased from Walmart for $29.88. This is exactly 3 dollars more expensive then the equivelent .40 I am used to shooting. So I am happy there, I think I can afford it. This is my first .45 and I am very used to 9mm and .40S&W. My experience with .45 is very limited, all of about 10-20 rounds during the pistol class I took out of some S&W pistol. Anyway...
The pistol shot great! My first impression was how little the gun recoiled. There was virtually no recoil at all from this gun, it was only a soft shove directly to the rear. The DA trigger pull was not great to say the least, or perhaps just not what I am used to. The SA on the other hand was very nice. SA was short and crisp with a clean predictable breaking point. The pistol functioned flawlessly with zero malfunctions of any kind even with this "cheapo" ammo. Accuracy was very good. When I did my part the gun fired dead center at the Shoot-N-C target stuck to an S-6 silhouette at 25'. I even got a shot in on the 10" steel plates 75' down the end of the range, it swung to the complete other side of it's post! Something I have never seen a 9mm do.
This pistol will be coming with me just about every week now, it's too much fun to leave at home.
I have no complaints about this gun other than the fact that I want some night sights. However, I've ordered some Nite-Siters so I'm hoping they do the trick.
