Awesome

Awesome video. Thank you for the extremely professional product analysis in your pistol comparison. I found your description to be both intelligent and unbias. I appreciate the side by side comparison of these two models espescially. Reading specs on the net doesnt even come close to the thourough comparison you have shown me. Thanks again

That vest doesn't look like it's covering jack-**** on you. Guess they don't make 'em in "big dude" sizes.

Great review as always, though!

Great review and nice hat!

+ FN is stainless! I almost bought one but got my SF instead.... I still want a FN45 though.

It's a small vest, only meant to cover your upper chest. Lots of people say it's too small, but it's not designed to offer full coverage. It seems they wanted it to me small, light weight (like 2lbs) and be used for home defense. You load it up with a pistol, light and 3 mags then set it by your bed. If you hear a bump in the night you can toss it on quickly, have all your gear and have some level of protection. They have other offerings coming out that will offer more protection. But the vest I'm wearing is $199 for the front panel only or $299 for front and rear. It's really affordable.

Hehe, thanks.

great review.... after seeing it i am fairly sure that I would go with your choice as well... I'm a BIG guy, probably even bigger than you, so the wider grip on the FN will probably be beneficial! I appreciate an honest, in depth, through review!

Another excellent review! You have become, by far, my favorite reveiwer.

Thank you for the reviews.

Thanks for the informative review! I've found Eagle vests to be great FYI.

Didn't know you had a youtube channel -

I lended you a surefire light when you were picking up a Scar .308 in Blythes a while back.

Another nice review. If money was no object, I'd go with the HK. Since I am not in the market for a .45, I guess it doesn't matter. Be keeping my eye out for that shirt contest.

I should add that my thoughts are similar on both pistols.

This was why I decided to go with a HK USP .45, (12 round capacity, Price - VG Condition Police Trade In).

Is this a subtle attempt at getting your light back from lent status? lol

Good Job !

Oh hey, nice to see you here. Do you get to Blythes very often?

I love the FN line of pistols. I find the DA to be shorter then my 92FS, maybe even shorter then my Sig also. At combat distance I can put all my DA shots center mass. I wish I could afford to add a .45 to my collection. Great review as always.

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Is anyone else having problems viewing the video? It freezes up on me shortly after starting it.

 

[Brian S.]

Good and fair review…right up until the end where you choose the WRONG GUN.

Very nice review +1. I love my HK USP Compacts but have to admit the FN 45 Tactical is on the top of my to-do list.

 

[snowman]

Great review, it's funny because I just sold an HK .45 so I could go get a FN .45.
