Am I correct in saying that the only differences between the FN 45 Tactical and the FN 45 is the lenght of the barrel and its threading, the high sights, and the slot for a red dot?
Does FN sell extra barrels, in case you had a Tactial model, and then wanted to switch to the shorter barrel for carry purposes? I fired my Tac model for the second time the other day, and was pleased not to be pelted in the head with fired brass like the first time. I'd locked the slide back for a week to take some of the stiffness out, and while that may be an old wives tale, either that or just the cycling has gotten rid of the weak ejection. Thanks. |

You also get 2 more backstrap sizes with the tac.
If you are paying full price for an FNP-45 USG, the cost for the upgrades to the tactical model are WELL WORTH IT even if you have the slightest idea of suppressing it. The cost to have those upgrades professionally done get to be VERY expensive if you insist on the quality of that FNH used from the start. The FNP-45 Tac is a bad mother f'er.

Why the different triggers? I don't know exactly. But the MGW website says that they CANNOT be interchanged. Perhaps a frame modification? The Competition is supposed to have a more 'tuned' trigger feel - so since the Tactical has the same trigger it has a better feel? Maybe one of the fellas up above who has both can answer. I have the FNP-45 USG in FDE so I couldn't tell you. ~Will |

I'm wanting to buy another one, as I have a Tactical, but would like to go USG, but if the triggers feel that much different, maybe a Comp would be the way to go? Than I would just change out the sights, the USG seems ready to go as is though? |

Unless the parts or other parts are MOLDED into the frame then they are removable/replaceable. [ IMHO! I mean I have disassembled fuzes & fuze parts that are "NOT REMOVEABLE" ]
Notice there is less material on the side rails of the Tactical & Competitor trigger bars. Perhaps that would interfere on the USG model or vice-versa? I personally think the Tactical trigger "might" fit on the USG but not the other way around... BUT - it could be a matter of dimensions (OAL / ID / OD etc) too. ~Will |

If anything the double action on the Tactical may be a little smoother. That could just be a natural variance between triggers |
