FreeFrag.UK Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 @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.

emilianoksa Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 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.
Wo1f Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 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
RMDavis Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 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 ?

Different screw sizes and thread pitch. @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.
emilianoksa Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 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?
hunter511 Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 @emilianoksa the SERPA version of this (https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/g-code-rti-adaptor-kit-for-blackhawk-serpa--safariland-6004-type-holsters-21460-p.asp) screws onto the back of your holster (no mods required) and then its compatible with the RTI mounting plates G-Code use. As a side note the omnivore should already be compatible with any Serpa mounts.
hunter511 Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Blatant show-off post. On a related note, a trijicon genuine RMR will not fit the FNX without modification. It looks like there are 2 centre punch marks on the 'L' bits that align with the mounting holes on the RMR. However it would need either a spacer plate making up or the mounts grinding back flush. Either way you'd still need to tap and drill holes for the mounting screws.

It is definetly possible (or how would TM do it XD) but doing it by hand is definetly not easy at all.
hunter511 Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 @Dan1712 so.. how would 1 go about mounting an rmr?
hunter511 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Soooooo Anyone got any reccomendations on how to gas the mags given that the cans of abbey 144 I just tried all bottom out on the base plate? Ideally I'm looking for a shorter baseplate option. Currently trimmed down the plates a bit with a scalpel but it looks bork.
Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Abbey extension, or better use Nuprol, has a longer reach

Apologies have been away h past few days so I missed this Are you trying to mount an actual RMR or a dr style sight? If your trying to use an RMR then its quite easy, I started with the Glock mount that came with my sight and ground off the rectangle part that mounts it to the Glock, I then cut the plate down to the sight was just at the front of the sight cut out on the fnx already. Lastly drilled two holes to line up with the threads already in the bbu and countersunk them and that's it all done. id say all in took about half an hours work and looks awesome. Excuse the self vector promotion its the only pic I have on the pc of the fnx
