G19 vs SR9 vs FNX9

[miles1]

Dryft,
Personally I would go with Glock 19 gen 3 or 4.I have a gen 3 and it works with no problems after 600+ rounds and counting.

I really liked my FNP45 Tactical but haven't tried the newer FNX series. Superficially you can hardly tell 'em apart. Sucks that you had such a bad experience with their CS department. I never needed service, my ran like a scalded cat. Eventually I traded it in on an HK USP45 Tactical since the LGS finally got one and it's the one I wanted in the first place.

Shame there's so few options for a real gun with a hammer. If anyone wants to call me OLD, now would be a good time!

FN, SIG, HK, Beretta, CZ, all make quality DA/SA hammer guns in popular calibers.

Then you have Taurus, Bersa, Sarmsilaz and a bunch of other "economy" outlets making them

Have you shot the gun since you got it back from FN? Was it repaired?

Well, the gun is sold.

Went out and shot it again and, while the ejection was somewhat improved, I was still glad to be wearing a hat. The magazines certainly wouldn't take more than 15 rounds, and I think what gearhead said is the ticket - all the springs on the pistol need setting.

The new owner has a few FN guns and has been appraised of the pistol's early teething problems. I'm certainly not complaining about the new Kimber crimson carry I got in exchange, that's for sure.

Thank you all for your advice and information - I think my next 9mm will definitely be a G19.

Dryft.
