Sidearms & Scatterguns M&p 2.0 or FNX 45

[Jmccracken1214]

Looking for a suppressor host for a HD gun.
M&p 2.0 45 is $611 and comes with a rfx15 Viridian green dot. Only downside is 10 round mags.

FNX is $1100, no red dot and 15 round mags.

Worth double?

S&W will still be supporting the M&P’s in 10 years and further so you’ll be able to buy mags and parts down the road.

FN will be FN and stop supporting the FNX as soon as they decide they want to make something else to try to win a contract that they’ll lose and then pawn the product off to the commercial market and rinse and repeat.

I wouldn’t buy the FN if it was half the price.

Why not just get a 9mm like a normal person?

I've shot both and didn't really care for the FN in my opinion. It was just blah. 2.0 was better for me, but I didn't buy either

I’ve got a few M&p 2.0s in 9mm. Figured couldn’t hurt to have a bigger round coming out that’s pretty quiet

Just about anything is better than an FN. There is far more aftermarket support for the S&W.

I remain steadfast in the idea that in the .45ACP game, that if its for serious shit HK is the way to play. Short of that, the only other crew that had their shit together for a modern polymer frame .45ACP is Smith and Wesson.

CZ's P-10F and whatever Glocks come in 45ACP.

Between those two caliber choices I'd rather have more ammo over bigger bullets.

Nope...well, can't say I've given a fuck about .45 since the CZ P10 came in anything but 9mm...didn't know that was a thing.

Hard pass on the "whatever glocks in .45ACP". Glocks in 9mm from 19 to 34 in NOT gen4 ....fuck all the rest.

45ACP Glocks have always worked.

If they’re not thread models get an OEM threaded barrel and feed them 147gr Fed HST or Speer GDHP and it’ll do the same thing.

Yep but good luck putting a decent light on one without some stupid adaptor and then not being able to reach the switches. That’s their downfall.

HK45 full-size for the win. Those extended levers help. Carried a full size hk45/300 for many years in an SLS bucket. If the loss of 2 rounds from the USP is a problem, they have the wrong chambering

45ACP Glocks have always worked.

I have cared for some that makes me respectfully disagree. Variance in .45acp ammo between “duty” and range ball between different makes being a factor.
But would happily take one over any of the 40 cal Glocks for the long haul.

FWIW, I started a thread on here a while back pondering between a P-10 .45, Glock 21 gen 5, or a M&P.
I’ve not shot any of them, but I did hold a new M&P 10mm (assuming same grip frame), and it felt way better in the hand than the other two (granted, I didn’t try all the grip inserts on the CZ or Glock).

I did shoot a Gen 5 20 and was amazed at how soft shooting it was. Could’ve been weak factory 10mm fodder, but it functioned fine.

Of those I'll take the CZ every time. I really like the trigger and the ergos.
