A number of years ago Id have said this was an insane, assinine and dangerous idea, but with most my rifles wearing red dots why not pistols, now it seems like a genius idea and not just for competition

I have a Blackside on a HK Tactical. Great package, but I would be willing to change the threading and/or add a LID just to try something different. I like the idea of the red dot above the suppressor.

I understand that it will get dirty, is somewhat fragile, etc. but I am more of a recreational shooter i.e. I don't carry for a living.

Thanks, Wally

Very nice pics Templar. Thanks for posting them. Looks like it was an awesome class with all the cool toys you guys got to try out.

I really hope FN decides to sell this pistol in this configuration to civilians. I have not shot the .45 version but have had some trigger time on the FNP9, which I enjoyed very much. Currently my favorite pistol is my M&P45, but this FNP45 looks like it will compete strongly for my time, attention and ammunition!
