      As posted in the other thread, shooting in 109 degree heat was fine.

        If you read the note he made in his video, he noted it wasn't a heat issue after all. Apparently he's had it inside his air conditioned home for a few days and it's still flexing bad.

          I hope so. His concerns would be valid and urgent, so the best course of action would be to sell it to some unsuspected idiot... such as me .

            My fnx has soft plastic, doesn't squishy but it is a bit soft. Hard stiff plastic would be my xds that thing feels solid as heck. With that being said fnx tactical is still my favorite piece.

              Seems like super stiff polymer would be more brittle and prone to cracking.
              I love my FNX. Great gun.

                I have had an FDE FNX-45T since last year and it's been 100% reliable. No way could you compress my magwell like the one linked in the OP. Not sure what's going on with that gun...

                  Definitely shouldn't be flexing like that

                    Haven't heard of xds' cracking. Seems like an usless comment especially after I still prefer the fnx to the xds.

                          Sensitive much?
                          My comment was that it seems like stiff polymer would be more brittle and prone to cracking under stress than a more flexible product.
