I have a bit of an ADD problem and at times I get ocd about stuff. I researched for a solid month before deciding on the handgun that I felt would be exactly what I wanted. Then I spent another 2 weeks looking for the gun. I finally ordered it online and I picked it up this morning. I've not shot it yet since I lost my cleaning kit in a recent move.

I plan to go look at new cleaning supplies tomorrow and then go shoot a couple hundred rounds. I grew up around my grandpa and dad being hunters so I have a lot of respect for firearms. I bought my fnx to replace my hipoint c9.

Any recommended type of ammo for break in? Also hoppes will be great for it as well correct ? I'm wanting to overly pamper this gun.

Welcome and congrats on the FNX! Hoppes works just fine.

Welcome to the forum. I wouldn't be too picky about break in ammo. Any FMJ brass from a name brand mfg. like Winchester, Federal, or Remington will do just fine. Stay away from steel case ammo IMHO. If you intend to use it for SD, then also run a couple hundred rounds of good HP ammo through to be sure it feeds reliably. Happy shooting.

Hello & Welcome!

 

[Big Muddy]

welcome from North Mo.! Wife and I had no problem with just about any 115 gr we could find with ours.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone I have a buffet of ammo to test out in the gun to see what It and I like.

I'm hoping the federal 115grn ALUMINUM cased ammo will be worth having. I don't plan to reload (yet but I've thought about it current living situation limits it for the next year) so I wont really be saving my brass. I shoot outside on private property so alot of brass will be lost. 20 cents a round if it's nice I plan to buy more.

I have federal bulk, winchester white box, tul brass max, federal aluminum, zq 123 grain, and winchester 124 grain. I went on a shopping spree you could say... either way the gun should be well broken in as soon as the snow melts.

Winch White Box has a bad Reputation!

lol my "other gun" hated WWB but loved the federal bulk. I figured worth a try since I've not seen the federal bulk in awhile and will be shooting my leftover boxes of it. Like I said I have high hopes for that aluminum federal as cheap as it is. I don't want to use steel but aluminum should be fine.

I've had excellent luck with Freedom Munitions ammo.

Thanks again everyone. Is it bad I've yet to shoot it?! ... I have no excuse I have private land 2 minutes to the north and 8 minutes to the south with free access to shoot whenever. ... I'm just sick of the cold this winter.
