Nice, I need to pony up the $$ and get one, one of these days, a few buddies have them on their AR's and some on pistols, lots of fun to shoot

I've recently been drooling over the FN FNX .45 Tac. Has anybody had any experience with that handgun?

OK here goes my first attempt at a picture post here.

This is one of the first ones over here.
Dangit, the server didn't like that. Kicked it off. Try this a different way.

Use Photobucket and copy IMG to here.

8zeros · 12-19-2013, 02:47 PM

Yeah. I'm having a hard time signing up for photobucket. I run a lot of security software, something is getting in the way, java filter or popup blocker or ad stopper or something. Such a purty picture too. I'll try with a different computer.

8zeros · 12-19-2013, 03:00 PM

OK, this looks like it works. I'll figure out the rest of photobucket later.

I got this when they first were available. I'd been reading about them and I liked what I read. Thousands of rounds through it.

Blueface · 12-19-2013, 04:31 PM

Glock 17.
Great gun to shoot.
I have a 21.

8zeros · 12-19-2013, 04:59 PM

I just looked it up. That pistol is close to thirty years old now. Time sure flies.
People new nothing about them back then. Everyone wanted to shoot it. Luckily ammo was cheap at the time. Now I barely practice that much so I can keep my stockpile high. I would reload cheap stuff except you can't hardly find powder any more. I have thousands of every component but almost no powder.

Cigarcop · 12-21-2013, 05:18 AM

Couple 80% lowers I had to finish on the Mill then Cerakote.

How many kidneys for one of those?

Man, I'm jealous of those.

I have problems finding primers.

Gonna show the millwork? I'm kinda curious. I've been thinking about getting one or a few. How easy is it to do a good job routing these out?

Midwayusa shows stock in small rifle primers. I recently got some from there.

So, two months or so back, after ten plus years of looking I found a used Beretta 92G in very good shape. (Spring loaded decocking lever that doesn't act as a manual safety, other than that is just like a 92F/FS. The G Model is a better mousetrap in my opinion.)

Yesterday I manage to score a second one, from the same (non FFL) vendor at a gun show. Asked him if he'd stumbled into a stash of the things. His reply was that he half expected I'd put that first one back onto the market and he'd run across it again, until he looked at his records.

Weird.
