Why no mention of FN pistols?

I recently purchased the FNX45T. Wish I had not waited so long. FN's are kind of a niche market and not as popular (and more expensive )than a comparable Glock. I also have a G22 and really don't care for the Glock. The FNX45T is an amazingly smooth shooting platform for a polymer 45 platform. Shoots and spits ANY type of ammo period. Very reliable action function over a wide span of velocities. My FNX45T is like the AK-47 of handguns....;)

I know that when I go into my LGS, finding accessories, sights, and holsters for Glock and Springfield are more plentiful than FN.
 
I believe in the last military handgun proposals where the Sig P320 won the contract, FN came in a close 2nd. This means they were very strong in functionality and reliability of the gun, but loss out in the final selection to Sig perhaps due to price.

I'm curious where you got that info, because I haven't seen anything so far from the test showing any comparison or even describing how they ended up in any kind of ranking.
 
FN makes interesting pistols, and it seems like there's always some crazy sale somewhere.

$45 magazines are a real bummer, though.
 
TunnelRat,

Apparently I was mistaken with the facts. Both Sig and Glocks were the finalists and Sig beated out Glocks to win the contract. FN and Berretta were eliminated just a month prior. Glock has filed a protest but this will not stop the Army from proceeding the contract with Sig.

This should teach me on doing my own research before posting, though I've heard the previous erroneous statement from whom I considered a knowledgeable friend. I apologize for posting the erroneous fact prior. Sorry to have confused you.
 
Some companies have to go about in the world, screaming
"LOOK AT US! We're P E R F E C T!"

Other companies, ones
which have survived a World War, or two, prefer to put
their quality where their mouth is.

FN is one of the latter. They don't have to brag. They
simply know they are the best. If you don't already know,
you'll figure it out.

My personal experience with them? A FNX45, Five seveN,
and an old GP35, and nary a hiccup, ever, from any of
them.

I was asking a lot, IMO, to expect a new acquisition,
fresh from the box, to fall into the role of new EDC
CCW for SD, when I purchased the FNX-45. But it
has filled that role, as expected, without even a
minor tweak.
