Also Tanfoglio 40s&w slides will and can to be tuned to run 9mm reliably with a 9mm barrel obviously. The Spare GT barrel that comes with the gun, can also be used with limited slide in conjuction with cone comp.  

 

I'd be really curious to learn a little more about this. I run a Limited Custom in 40 for limited division, but one day had hoped to run 9mm for open. I would love to hear how to make that conversion work. Does it just take a 9 barrel and mags, or do I need new springs as well?

The FX9 uses a proprietary lower which inhibits the use of AR charging handles, bolt catches, extbsed mag releases, or safeties. The charging handle that comes with it is pretty weak sauce (just being honest). I am awaiting the shipment of the Freedom Ordinance enhanced version, but it is costly at nearly $80 with shipping - what you would expect to pay for a high end AR version. That is the only upgrade you can really get other than a grip and/or magwell.

I purchased the official Freedom Ordinance extended charging handle and was not pleased. Ended up returning it. It was slightly larger in the hands, but it didn't fit the rifle. It scrapped along the top of the buffer tube, and now I have an ugly mark along the top of the firearm. Not a huge deal, but overall it was disappointing that a company's own accessories don't fit their own rifles. 

 

Other than that problem, the gun has worked perfectly with 4.6 grains of W231 behind 115 rn (the same load I use in my Walther Q5). I was on this thread looking for aftermarket trigger options. Sounds like the CMC 3.5 is my best option, as I am not shelling out Hyperfire money -- unfortunately.
