Pistol hunting
- Thread starter Aspp
- Start date
Well I finally got the pistol last night, after over 20 days of jockeying with the LGS and the state, 2 letters of recommendation (one from a Police Chief, and one from the Mayor), and a whole lot of other BS. Stupid CA. Picked up a paddle holster from Hogue ( I also raided their powder! ), Ill get some pictures up asap....
I am a big 1911 fan also and planned on carrying one as a back up while pig hunting. Seldom am I hunting 1 pig, it's usually a sounder so the capacity of the 1911 made me think. I bought a FN FNX 45 tactical and glad I did, even though a 1911 is my favorite handgun.
The FNX is a .45 w/15+1 capacity. They also come with the top of the slide milled for optics. Mine has a Crimson Trace IR laser on it

I have the CT grips on my little Kimber. I like 'em a LOT. I wish they had the same pressure switch on/off feature on my S&W Bodyguard as CT uses. Being able to activate with just a little pressure from one finger of your gripping hand is very nice.
I like it a lot now that we put a neutral density filter in it to tone it down. The problem is the laser is .7mW and it blooms really bad at pistol ranges. We put a filter in it that knocks it down to .1mW, much better. The on off paddles are easy to activate and it has an auto off at 5 minutes.

I bought one for my dad, but it is one of the grip ones like RDs on a Ruger GP100, it shows up very well on hogs at 3ft. I just was not sure of the under barrel ones, I had looked at some of the cheaper ones in the past and really didn't like how the on/off worked or how bulky they were. Ill have to find one locally to put some prints on.
I finally got to shoot this thing, like I thought the trijicon night sights on it are a touch too big for my tastes, and I realized I need to practice with the pistol A LOT more. My best was 4" 10 shot group at 10+/- yards. I can shoot sub-1/4" groups with a rifle, but Ill be damned if I could get myself pulled together last night to make this thing shoot. I do like the holster though, its a Hogue Speeddraw (IIRC), its a lot like the Sherpa holster but instead of using your trigger finger to release the gun, your thumb pushes a button straight down as you pull up. Very natural feel for me.
I am also impressed at how light the pistol is, and its very manageable to shoot. Having only owned one other semi-auto (Ruger P90, a brick that shot like a brick) I do have to say this was much improved over that gun. I have shot quite a few flavors of pistol, and I still think a 1911 is going to end up in my paws before Im done buying guns, but I think I might have to look at a couple more of these plastic guns too.

Found a little powder while I was hunting up a holster, got a bit for me and a buddy....

Hope you have better luck with shootin' one of those than I did. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with one of those (back when they first came out). The grip angle just doesn't do it for me.
Mmmmm... fresh powder... (for the doughnuts)... err, sorry.

I saw that product a little while back and got to wondering whether it did.
That's one reason I like the XDm (in the "Combat Tupperware" class of weapons), the grip angle is good right out of the box (for me). When I shot my buddy's, I had to admit that it even felt "more gooder" in the paw than my 1911 does. They (striker fired) still need to make a decent trigger though. I'm spoiled in my old-school ways of a sweet 1911 trigger.
You guys do some way cool things. I have a CT on my EMP in 9mm have not noticed the bloom. It sure works well. I wish the grips could be thinner is only complaint.
They are making some is green which gives you a whole lot more range even in daylight.
I was talking about an IR version to run with NVG's
