Review for
DPM FN Herstal FNP 4.5in/Tactical 5.3in Barrel .45 ACP Mechanical Recoil Reduction System
Bough this because another reviewer said he runs 45 Super with his suppressor.
Its crazy how it tames the gun down running regular loads or even +P or 45 Super.
I've looked into the 460 Rowland conversion. I really like the round. But I don't like the idea of cutting the barrel chamber and extra 1/16 of an inch. Supers are a great in between. No reliability sacrifice. I would suggest polishing the breach face. As running 45 Supers increases the slide rate Dramatically. Brass is pitched probably another 10-15 feet when running supers. I did have a couple of fail to feeds where the bullet didn't make it into the breach face properly and canted forward. Even Rowland conversions require the breach face be polished. Still doing some testing but shoots much smoother. I run the heavier spring. With a suppressor I haven't had any trouble with short stroking. Have not shot without the suppressor.
Racking the slide the spring weight compounds and gets pretty intense at the end of slide travel. The only thing I wish someone made was a shock buffer for the slide as extra insurance. I'm going to run 45 Supers for a bit before I start playing with 460 Rowland charges oi

Not what I expected
Written on May 16, 2019
I've never owned a glock so I bought one and wasnt happy with the trigger being a 1911 guy.
First off I would consider myself an Amiture Gunsmith. I can do just about anything so long as its not machining in the lines of guns.
Having done may trigger jobs and building several guns with all the hype that come with Zev I expected top quality out of the package.
There are some really nice peices in this kit. Like the lightened striker. What really dissapointed me is that for the price you would expect matting services for the striker and trigger bar to be mirror finished. While they were glossy they had ripples in the surfaces. Very dissapointing considering the other options out there.
The instructions that come with the kit werent enough to get mine going.. I adjusted everything as mentions and cant get the trigger to properly reset.
So Ill be contacting them to help me figure that issue out.
Im dissapointed mainly because the trigger feels very mushy and doesnt have a clean break... but maybe that's just the platform.
