FX9 2021 Update

Now there's gonna be that guy on the EE going north of 2k...

And that guy who buys it, totally justifying the posting.

 

[Jim Barnaby]

I guess I'll just be buying an MCR

 

[Buck Futter]

EE prices are going from loony to full on crazy!

Someone is asking 3k for one right now lol

If people are buying at those prices, they must be desperate.

Call me silly, but a short and light bolt action 9mm rifle that took glock mags (or affordable proprietary mags with no limit) would be tons of fun at the range. Bolt gun should be reasonable for a Canadian company to make without too many hiccups either

Something like a lever action in 9mm would be a lot of fun.

A lever action 9mm would be the cats meow. 16” barrel with a full length mag tube would have decent capacity. And way cheaper to shoot than my 44mag lever.

This.

This.

Except they aren’t reclassifying anything to NR from restricted due to barrel length. I’ve had a rifle at the verifier for over 7 months and was told they aren’t changing classifications right now. No reason given why.

The forecast ain't looking good folks. I want to be upfront and clear with everyone here so there are no false expectations. There is a very high probability that we will not see any Non-restricted FX9 carbines this year. Due to overwhelming demand in the US, and the enormous backlog of purchase orders that they still have outstanding their production cannot keep up.



Now we should be seeing a small shipment of restricted models coming in the near future, more details on these ones will follow soon. Check in with your local dealer on the restricted models, but be advised there will not be any available info on the NR versions for quite some time.



Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is the reality we are currently in.

If only we could load that mag to 33 rounds

Just do not see the need for this ever.

Supply and command boys

Non restricted has a price premium.

It may or may not be a smart idea.

Just saying.

Why not negotiate a manufacturing licence with them . Any overage could be sent stateside to them to cover orders.

good idea

You could always take your chances on the Lockhart Raven 9 pre-order. It's basically a fx9 from what I see. And Lockhart is Canadian

Except lockhart has been advertising that once since before the FX9 came out. And have yet to produce. I have been bugging him, since I'm only an hour up the road. But zero progress.

 

[Rkonkin]

Yes talked to him last month. Still waiting on the RCMP ruling on classification.

Weird. I know the verifiers office were basically doing nothing "because #covid". It took about 3-4 months for them to just send me my verifiers package.

 

[ih8ipods]

So if we just sat the FX9 guys down, have a few dozen beers and see where that gets us?

 

[serg777]

I will take R version. My range is closer than the bush where NR can be shot. Not good for hunting either. I think it will be 8" barrel which I think is best for the balance and for the looks of compact carbine as it supposed to be.

However, if there will be ACP9 Pro with Glock lower available - don't need FX9 then.

 

[franktank]

Aside from the bolt action aspect you're basically describing a JR Carbine. I have one and its absolutely awesome, and amazing for a lefty shooter. AR form factor, swappable ejection and charging handle, glock mags, 9mm, .40s&w, .45acp, AR parts (handguard, stocks/buffer tube, grips), I don't know why they aren't the most popular gun in Canada atm.

Because they are a turd to clean.
