Any first hand experience with their pistols?
Any opinions of their pistols?
I know their early pistols had problems, but I have heard those were successfully corrected on the current models?
 
I am 62yrs old and have been shooting almost 50yrs. I have never heard of a FMK pistol. Maybe you should have supplied a hot link, or maybe the name of this pistol in your post.
 
Fmk is a manufacturer. Not being smart or rude, but if you do not know who FMK is, you probably have no useful knowledge about them.
 
It's an outside copy of the Walther P99 and internals of the PPQ/Glock.

Walther PPQ currently is 380 with rebate and comes with the hardest metal treatment available.

That is my thoughts.

Current/past models with wording on the gun bothered me. For My Kountry really bothers me. The company is absolutely bananas with an obvious lack of post secondary education with little to no political science knowledge. That really bothers me. http://fmkfirearms.com/heritage/

If someone were to challenge me for attacking FMK's one-sided social views, I wouldn't respond here. However, they post it right on their own website for people to know.

I thought that miss-spelling of words on purpose was a south-eastern U.S. attempt to gain trust based on a lack of a formal education. Very charming.

I never buy a car from a dealership unless he has at least one letter in it's name shown backwards. Make me think he is too stupid to know how to cheat me.

:):):)
 
He couldn't use "FMC" because that company already exists, so he adopted a variation, same as "Windicator". Why not just use some other motto? Ask the company.

As to quality, etc. I have not seen any of their guns, so can't comment.

I like my philosophy founded on reason and my run on sentences nonexistent.

Meh.

I passed on them based on the pistol. You'd do better with a G19 or a PPQ/P99.
 
I have a Glock 19, 17, 20, 21, and 34. I had a 23, 22, and a 27. I also have a Walther Pps m2. I am simply wondering about the reliability of the FMK. Any known problems other on the very early production?
 
What I found in my looking into them a bit ago:

Gen1 recall and problems.
Gen2 might have some ejection issues, but better.
Almost no one online owns one.

Lack of response to emails popped up a lot, but FMK does roll through websites for positive responses.

That's what I learned when looking into them.
 
Thanks. The reason I am considering them is I need a couple of pistols to leave in work trucks. I can get these for about $270 each. I don't want to buy a piece of junk, but it does bot have to be a Cadillac like a Sig 226 either.

In a well secured locked box I hope!
As for your needs, Hi-Point has your name all over them. Even less money than the questionably reliable FMK, but rock solid reliability, and accuracy!
 
I keep the doors locked. If it was in a well secured, locked box, it would take me entirely too long to get it when needed. If it were going to be in a well secured lock box, I probably would not care if it were cheap or not. Hi point can stay at the Hi Point dealer. When I worked in law enforcement, most of the guns we took off bangers were Hi Point, Skky, or some other brand that was 30 or 40 years old. Almost all the newer stuff was Skky and Hi Point. . It poisoned me against both brands. I do have a Lorcin that lives in one of my tool boxes. It is a ugly looking something, but it has never malfunctioned in the less than 50 rounds I put through it.I definitely do not trust my life to it. I keep a Sigma .380 in another tool box. Both my boats have EAA witnesses that live under the console. I usually carry a LCP. Sometimes I carry my walther PPS, but I still believe every vehicle needs a firearm to permanantly live in it.

I've never been a fan of stashing guns in vehicles. I carry on my person. Vehicle thefts aren't that uncommon near me and while I still hold the criminal responsible for breaking into the vehicle, I do what I can to make it harder for criminals to acquire firearms, or at least mine.
 
The only ones I have had stolen were taken in a residential burglary. I had 2 rifles and a shotgun out of the safe to be cleaned. The other was a muzzleloader that was mainly for decoration, they also stole a pound of Tac powder that was setting close to the muzzleloader. I hope the idiots think its black powder and use it to shoot the muzzleloader this upcoming Black powder season.
 
Is there a reason you have to keep the gun in a vehicle, and not on your person?
As a former LEO certainly you know a locked vehicle means nothing. Windows break easy. Because of the "fun free zones", sports stadiums, concert venues, amusement parks, and other places CCW is not allowed in a nearby big city, they have had an epidemic of vehicle breakins. Even without anything of value being visible. The theives know that they have a good chance of finding guns in parking lots near the "gun free zones".
 
When I am not at work, I usually carry. At work, I destroy everything I carry. Its a lot easier to leave them in the work trucks. Why in the boats? If I carried in the boat, it would not take long to end up in the water.
 
Lets get back to FMK. The reason I stated the use for the pistol was to avoid the "it won't compete with a Gold Cup punching paper" response. No one is going to change my mind on vehicle and tool box stashing.
 
The FMK as I recall is another spinn off of the P A 63, I have one of them as well as a SMC, the former is a quasi copy of the PP and the latter a PPK. The company seemed to put anyone's name on their pistol who ordered enough--such as FN and Walter ( or was it Mauser?).
The pistols are found in aluminum frame or steel frame and various sizes. My PA 63 is in 9x18 and the SMC .380, both are very well made but a handful to shoot.
