Good and bad,
Good: seemed quite accurate, very manageable recoil for a 45, loved having 16 rounds at my disposal before reloading, felt like a rock star at the range as everyone wanted to check it out.

Bad: I confirmed what has been being said on the FN forum that it does not like Winchester white box (which sucks cause its the cheapest) according to the good folks over there it will function flawlessly with any SD ammo, fed, s&b, reloads, even wolf and tula, just not WWB. I had 6 FTFs out of 250, strangely enough almost all in the final 50 rounds. For whatever reason the 15 round mags just dont like em. From what I have been told and confirmed with a mic is that WWB is out of spec long and that is the issue. Still I feel it should fire any factory ammo I choose. I also need to get used to the high sights as picking them up was a bit awkward at first.

Interesting.... Just had a wwb that wouldnt chamber in an hk, wouldnt chamber in a glock, and a sig ate it. Than was 9mm.
