Many years ago, my first handgun was a 1911A1 chambered in .45 ACP. It holds a special place in my memory. Now I own the Rock Island Armory 1911A1 FS TACT, an upgraded version of the famous 1911A1.
Could there be anything better than the best handgun designed by John Browning? The FNX-45 Tactical could be such a gun. Modern, lightweight, with a high-capacity magazine, is it the .45 ACP of the future?
Stick with me as I compare these pistols, and then check out my earlier individual reviews of the RIA 1911A1 and the FNX-45 for even more detail.
