I now need a suppressor host.
I have a SilencerCo Osprey 45.

new FNX 45 Tactical 3 magazines - factory - local gun store
used FNP 45 Tactical 2 magazines & RMR - would be an online purchase
These two are essentially the same price - $50 difference

other possibilities:  1911 of some sort, HK45 Tactical

I was saving for a new lap top, but the F4 came through on the can.

FNX no doubt

FNP has an unsupported chamber that with IIRC Winchester White Box ammo it would bulge the ammo. The FNX has a supported chamber I believe.I have the FNP45 TAC and it is an awesome gun. So far I have not had any issues related to the unsupported chamber.

I've had both the FNXT and FNPT, sold both and bought an HK45T & HKUSPT.  I like the HKs significantly more.

Well, considering the FNP and mags were discontinued in favor of the FNX, I'd say go with the one that's actually being supported.

Excellent point. When I was down at Ft Polk earlier this year I happened to run across some full capacity FNP45 mags that were discounted to $19.99 each. I bought a few, and then bought some more the next time I went back down to Polk

Let me first say I haven't shot either, and I am a fanboy of neither but between an FNX and a H&K USP Tac, I would go with the H&KUSP Tactical. The FNX does have the capacity advantage, but... the FN supposedly has a few um less durable components.

Love my FNX-45T, I wouldn't get the discontinued FNP, it's cheaper for a reason. Can't say much on HK's, wasn't a fan just holding them and less capacity.

Which components are less durable?

I had one of each and had no problems with the FNP, but the FNX had to go back to the factory for repair.
