Re: FNP-45 Tactical, is the mag problem solved?

First knowledge if mag issues. My FNP45Tac has been a sewing machine since I bought it, and runs great with the 7 mags I have.


I'm just hoping the FNX45Tac mags will be available and work in it! It's hard enough to find the mags right now.

Re: Advice on pricing.

I sold an FDE model today for $1450 that had an extra mag, 2 mag extensions, a holster, a bag of once fired brass, and 1050rds of SS197 ammo.

I would say $950 is fair, $900 is good, $850 is great.....just my opinion tho.

Looks like with 1500 rounds in the can, I could probably get another 6-7 boxes (300-350 rounds) before I would have to force a box to fit in.

At 1800 rounds I think I could get a small dessicant pack in there if I worked it right.
