Hello FN community!
My name is Scott and I am 49 years old. I have been a professional Firefighter in a very busy city for 26 years now. My kids are older now and I made the choice to finally purchase a pistol. I have fired weapons, but I never actually owned a weapon before and still have to learn everything about it. I was advised to go to a gun shop and hold the weapons in my hand and pick that way. So i did. I held everything in their case and the only gun that felt good in my big hands was the FNX-45. I looked at the tactical version as well, bit since in New Jersey we cannot use attachments for the barrel i could not justify the extra cost. I purchased some ammo and cannot wait to fire this weapon and I will be heading for the range with my brother-in-law who also owns a new pistol. He purchased the Glock 23 and it seems nice, but it just felt wrong in my hand, plus i wanted a larger caliber.
Great to meet you and I know I made the right decision because it just feels right.
Take care,
Scott
