TM FNX 45

RJ83VT.jpg


Very happy with my TM FNX45, can't wait until slide kits start coming out for them.

 
What on earth is the point of a silencer on a gbb? I would be surprised if they actually reduced sound noticeably.

A tracer unit yes, because it aids target acquisition, but a silencer?

And they aren't exactly cheap.

What is the point of getting a pistol for it's usefulness in cqb, and then adding five inches to the barrel? You might as well get a submachine gun, or run a sub carbine rifle.

Some will say it makes a difference, it doesn't enough to bother. On a side note they use a very solid closed cell foam in them which doesn't help. It does look cool .You could always use it to cover an extended barrel I suppose. They are a nice alternative smaller suppressor for the mk23 but worth changing the afore mentioned stock foam. 

 
Bit the bullet and ordered one. Any recommendations for holsters? Preferably light bearing. 

 
@Wo1f What sort of light are you using? If it's a Surefire X300 or an Streamlight TLR-1 then a Blackhawk Omnivore should do the trick.

I’ve been looking at the Olight range. If I can get a holster for it, that’s what I’m leaning towards.

It’s VERY similar in size and shape to the Surefire X300, I can get you exact dimensions if it helps?

 
The Night Evolutions available on the Bay for 30 quid from China are Surefire clones and pretty good for the money. Probably the same size since it will fit the Nuprol Glock light bearing holster.

I have no problems with mine.

I'd go for the Omnivore universal , even though it is belt loop and paddle only.

Doesn't work with the Serpa molle adaptor or low ride attachment, apparently. Different screw sizes and thread pitch.

Still seems like the best option though. And there is enough room inside to stop it from scratching the slide and frame of the gun.

You can also get it with tan highlights to match the colour of the FNX45. Which is nice.?

I will be getting one myself. An Omnivore that is. I'm tired of having to have different holsters for different pistols. The Omnivore isn't cheap but it works out cheaper in the end. And they also do a universal one for non light bearing guns which have rails.

One of each and you can get rid of all your other holsters and avoid some of those unsightly scratches on your guns.

That’s perfect. I’ve had a good google and it seems like the general consensus is it’s should fit in most Surefire 300 holsters

 
My FNX 45 arrived today and I'm really impressed. It's a tough call between it and my H&K 45T but it does feel bloody nice in the hand! I ended up changing the back strap for the medium with the straight lines as apposed to the 'stippled' one.

I was disappointed to see that the red dot sight mount appears to be specific to the TM micro sight? I might be wrong there, but I certainly can't see a way to securely mount my Vortex Viper red dot which I'm pretty gutted about... Any ideas chaps? ? 

As for a holster I'm currently waiting on 'Kydex Customs' which are making me one that will work with my Olight PL2.

I messaged them and asked them whether they could, to which they replied yes and I've just had to send my torch to them so I assume they can mould around it.

I will get some photos up when the holster is made 2-3 week wait, but they're making one for my H&K also again with the Olight. ??

Depending on your mount for your viper sight you should be able to modify it pretty easily, It took me around 20 mins to custom modify the mount for my RMR to bolt to the FNX and be very secure. (it may not be the prettiest or best solution but it seems to work perfectly for me :)  ).  PM me if you'd like me to see if I can help  :) ?

@emilianoksa sorry for the late reply but the Omnivore does have other mounting options. Mine is set up on a G-Code Mule using the mount adaptor Tactical Kit offer.

Thanks for the tip.

I had no idea the Omnivore would fit the G-Code Mule.

So do I just buy the Mule and Omnivore or do I also need to get a separate adaptor for them?
