I have seen a little "flex" but nothing like the video. I think it is staged, I.e. the user did something to the polymer, or it is one of the airsoft pistols.

Have you ever had it out in 100+ degree heat and direct sunlight?

Though, I do have a mag loaded with dummy round in it when I do that.... |

I heated the grip slightly with a heat gun and put a mag in, working it side to side, until the mag would drop free. It most defiantly is a problem. |

FNX 45T FDE owner here and although there is play side to side if you really squeeze, there is zero flex front to back, and certainly nothing like the video.

Not FN specific. Glocks, S&W, Springfield... you name it. They will all deform if used to press a holster without a mag in the grip. |
