I brought home an FNX-45 a few weeks ago and it has been awesome. Sunday when I was reassembling it, following a good cleaning after some range time, I had an issue getting the slide back on and I wanted some feedback. The issue was that a small metal tab was sticking up near the rear slide rails assembly, and I had to press it down in order to get my slide back on. I'm new to FNH firearms, and everything seems to function properly, but I have never run into this before when taking my FNX-45 apart and reassembling it.

Must have bumped the trigger a bit, that will cause the trigger bar to pop up a bit. I always just make sure it's pushed down before reassembly.

Thank you for the feedback. Since this is my EDC I wanted to make sure I haven't done anything that might have a negative impact on reliability.

You EDC a FNX-45? That is quite a task.

I noticed another thing to watch for is make sure the recoil spring is straight. If it's off center just a bit it won't allow the slide to slide all the way back when reassembling. At least that is what I noticed on mine.

I thought it would be difficult, but with my Crossbreed IWB holster, I honestly forget I have it on me. I have always carried full size handguns though so I'm used to it.

Nothing wrong with your FNX, as previously posted, just push the tab down. A problem if it won't push down. My SIG P220 has a similar tab in the frame rail. After cleaning, I always rack the slide and drop the hammer in both SA/DA just to make sure everything works. You can do the same with your FNX.

It pushed down with no problem and functions in SA and DA. Thank you for your help. The SIG is on my list of guns I need to add to the collection.

I may try carrying mine in the winter when I'm wearing bulkier clothing.
But my 9C is my EDC. My daughter would love to carry my FNX45. She really likes it. Shoots very well with it too.

more like bad ass.....as soon as my Bravo Concealment RTT holster arrives, I will be joining in on the said task.
