Tested by Ed

I picked up the VFC FNX-45 in a cerakote OD green for $200, which I thought was a cool deal since cerakote versions usually run about $400. It feels chunky and very solid in the hand with a really nice action and awesome raised sights, but the trigger is mushy and the safety is hard to engage. Dry firing on gas it felt really, really snappy, though I noticed the mags catch on a little ridge in the magwell. I still need the RMR adapter plate before I can mount a red dot, and I'll do a full review with shooting tests and chrono in a future video.

Problems he hit

Magazines catch on a small ridge inside the magwell when seating · 34:22

Out of the box

200Price quoted

No chrono or shooting test done. Paid $200 (stock ~$170; cerakote versions usually ~$400). Dry-fired on gas at 110 PSI only after installing aftermarket inner barrel and 130% recoil spring, so no true stock performance observed.

Caveats

Unboxing/first-impressions video; no chrono, accuracy, or gas-efficiency testing performed
Dry-fire impressions came after installing aftermarket inner barrel and 130% recoil spring, not stock
